honor, taken off in the prime of life,
his age being but % years. Since his
arrival in this country about two years
ago he has with ability filled the posi-
ton of teacher in several of our county
schools. About two weeks ago he met
with an accident while in the act of
extinguishing the lights at the ice rink,
which he started in this city but
short time since. The injuries we're
not at the time considered dangerous
and his ultimate recovery was looked
for until internal hemorrhage set in
two days before his death. ''Harry,"

genial disposition. afull-fedged gentle
man and a person Of many noble quail
ties, not having an enemyi in the world.
He will be greater missed in the circle
