On Saturday last there came to us the sad
news OF the sudden death OF DR.. George E,
Lane OF Ludlow, who was for some twelve

loved physician here. His death occurred
on Thursday evening OF last week. He had

employe, and was returning to his house,
when he fell on the street. He was taken
into building, but expired almost imme-
diately OF heart disease, at the age OF sixty
two. A large man, Of the best OF habits,
and apparently the embodiment of health,
his sudden taking off was a shock indeed.

TEEN here as such. :" He was good man "

| the lips Of our citizens now, az they hear of
his DEATH Two sons survive him. 1t is ru-
