IT is with deep regret that we
chronicle this morning the demise
of Capt. Jno- Ivey, of New Hope
township, which sad event occurred
at his home on January 3, in the
77th year of his age, after a painful
but patiently born illness of paraly-
sis. His exemplary life and patriotic
devotion is an epitaph that will leave
an influence for good in the commu-
nifty where he a SO highly es
teemed.

LITTLE Walter, the 2 year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Holmes, was
fatally burned at their home, near
Jones' Mill, a few miles from this
city, Wednesday evening, while play
ing around the fire, in the absence
OF his mother, who had left the room
for a few moments, leaving the child
with its older brother, and not deem
ing that danger and death were Turk
ing nigh. The little sufferer lived
but a few hours. In heaven it is
healed and is an angel now forever
more. The remains were inferred

sadly afflicted parents in their sud
