from paralysis. He was in his 57th
year. The deceased was for many
years a resident of this town, and
had held several public offices OF
honor and trust. Few men shared
in greater measure, the love of his
kindred and the high respect of his
fellow citizens than Mr.. Jswett.-
He was ga man among men," and
his removal from our midst takes
away a member of the community
who was endowed with those sterl-
ing attributes which make good cit
liens. Possessed of kindly ma
ture and gentle manners, his very
presence inspired respect and con-
idence. He leaves a wife, son and
daughter, to mourn his death. The
sympathy of this community is
with the family in their cad bereav-
ment. The funeral took place Fri
day afternoon from Trinity NJ. E
church, and the sermon preached
by Rev Correl, the Pastor. At the
conclusion of the ceremonies at the
church, the remains were taken in
charge by Point Pleasant Lodge,
No. 80, L. o. o. F., of which he was
a worthy member, and conveyed to
Lone Oak cemery where he was
laid to rest by the Order with its
beautiful and impressive ceremo-
MES.

Sun, Ind. Seven children were

are now living, as follows, Mr.. w.

RIVER NEws.-The steamer Clari.
bell struck snag which knocked a
hole in her hull, last Thursday
morning near Buffalo, and immedi-
ately sunk in eight feet of water.
She has been raised and placed on
the Armstrong Bros. docks at this
place.
Some river Mates delight in be-
ing brutal, and in time get paid
back for their brutality. Last Fri
day night the Stanley was lying at
our wharf discharging freight, and
a negro deck hand let fall a crate
of cabbage which angered the big,
burly mate, and he gave the negro
vicious kick; but he mistook his
man, for the negro turned on him
and gave him blow that sent him
reeling. 1t is not likely he will
kick another deck hand, soon.

School closed at Hickory Chapel
on the Sth with very nice time.
Mr. Charles Brown gave us quite a
speech on Human Life, after which
Mr. r. o. Kincade, teacher, in few
chosen words told the school he had
tried to do his duty to patrons and
scholars. We think Mr.. r. o. an
efficient teacher, and may he always
have success.
