ILLNESS OF HIRAM CAMP.
The Venerable Ex-President of the
Clock Company Seriously Indfs-
posed.
Haven CLOCK company ia seriously i'll at
his residence on Ferry street. His health
has been quite feeble and gradually grow
ing worse for six or seven weeks past, and
he is now confined to his bed most of the
time. The difficulty appears to be not
complications of serious nature. His re-
covery is not dispaired of, but owing to
his advanced age, eighty-four, the situa-
ton is not encouraging. Mr., Camp was
and lay in a critical condition for some
time, but from this he had rallied and had
enjoyed q tolerable degree of health and
activity for one of his years, until he be-
gan to fail in health and vjgor few weeks
ago. He is under the care of DR.. Russell.
Mr.. Camp celebrated his eighty-fourth
birthday few weeks ago, at which time
he was In fairly good health and spirits.
The public will sincerely hope for his re-
oovery and that his life may yet be pro-
longed for years.
