Death of Fritz Mattill.

Although Fritz Mattill has been ailing
long time with Bright's disease, his
death Friday morning was surprise to
the community.
Frederick Mattill was born in this city
fifty.four years ago, and it has been his
home ever since.
He read law under Judge Thompson,
and was admitted to the bar, but never
entered upon the practice OF his profes
sion. His time was principally devoted
to looking after the property interests Of
the family. OF recent years, however,
he kept restaurant and cigar stand at
the corner of High and Walnut streets.
His wife died suddenly about year
ago.
He was member of the 16Sth o. v.
l., and John M. Barrere Post took charge
of the funeral ser vices, which we're held
at the Presbyterian Church, Sunday
afternoon,

Last Sunday there were several boys
who amused themselves in the dangerous
pastime of throwing bolts from the top
OF the stand pipe at other boys on the
ground. One went through a window
and came near killing lady. Another
struck lad named Livy Barber, a
glancing lick on the head, laying the
skull bare, and inficting frightful in.
jury. from which he is now confined to
his bed. Had the b Dit struck him fairly,
the result would have been instant death.
His home is in Dayton, and he is here
OH visit to his grandfather, Mr.. ], M.
Boyd. The name of the boy who threw
this deadly missile has been pretty def.
nitely fixed, but for fear of possible
mistakes, we prefer to withhold it until
prosecution is instituted. Ifthere should
be any more OF this work, somebody
will be very apt to get penitentiary
sentence for assault wsth intent to kill.
An iron bolt descending from such a
height is as deadly as rifle ball.

Golden Wedding.

One of the memorable events in the
social annals OF Hillsboro was the golden
wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. Gray, at
their home on South w est street, Wed
nesdav evening. They were married in
England and came to Hillsboro about
1850. This worthy couple have been
residents Of our city ever since, and have
won host of friends by their honest
and kindly lives. The evening was
spent in musical and social festivities
The golden presents were many and
valuable. Among the happy and nu.
merous throng of guests were Mr.. and
Mrs. Patrick Roush, of Cincinnati, ac-
companied by their daughter, Ruby.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roush lived here some
forty years ago and were devoted friends
of the Grays. In the fifties Mr. Roush
went to Cincinnati, where he became
an extensive contractor, and now ranks
with the millionaires.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gray have only one child
living, Martha, who is the wife of our
esteemed fellow citizen, John O'Con.
nell.
Our congratulations are extended to
Mr.. and Mrs. Gray. May Providence
continue to deal with them kindly.
