Attest:

r. CALHOUN, Coroner.
The family IS not altogether satis-
fled with the decision of the coroner's
jury; for they think, with good reason,
that their father was not drowned, but
on the contrary was dead when he fell,
their physician believing that he died
of heart failure, or apoplexy, he hav-
ing been much troubled lately with his
heart. On the right side of bis fore
head there was a small dark spot, such
bruise as would likely result from a
fall, and it is reasonable to suppose
that the old gentleman fell after death
had claimed him.
Mr.. Cassels kept a diary, and the day
before his death made an entry to this
effect. II contemplate leaving for
home tomorrow, to be with my family,
for l feel that l am on the verge of the
grave From this itappears that Mr..
Cassels was feeling even worse than
any Of his family. or his physician i'm
agined.

Dec. 2Yth, 1929, and was therefore 81
years and five months old. He came

MIR. Cassels was greatly respected by a
large circle of acquaintences through

family in their hour of sorrow.

at the NJ. E. church, of which MIR. Gas

second bass, gave their first public con-
cert at the Congregational church
Wednesday evening to . good house.
The pieces were we'll rendered, and re-
ceiyed hearty applause. While the
audience were more demonstrative
over the comic pieces than the classic
selections, the latter were as highly
appreciated. Their of hand manner
of rendering their parts without the
aid of mnsic. and the perfect concert
Of voices, showed that they have been
through rigid ractice.-Bufalo Gap
