DINGMAN's FERRY, Jan. 13.-Samuel w.
Hunt, another of our old and well-known
citizens died from apoplexy, at his home
in Delaware township, on Thursday last,
at the advanced age of rs years 10 months
and days (f we mistake not) after an i'll
ness of but few hours. Mr.. Hunt has
been feeble, however, for year or more
past. He is survived by his widow and
four children, two sons and two daughters.
The eldest son, Warren lives near Adams,
Jennie, the eldest daughter, is the wife of
Mr. Hiram Rake, in Blooming Grove, and
Caroline is wife of Mr.. A. S. Brown, Of
Delaware township. The deceased is also
survived by one sister, Mrs. W. E. Sigler,
of Dingmans. Mr.. Hunt was born in
England, and when but two years Of age
came with his parents to the neighborhood
of Philadelphia, and fifteen years later
moved to this part of Pike County. Forty
two years since, he married Miss Sarah A.
Lifts, Of Lehman. and since then they have
shared together the successes and vicissi-
tudes, the joys and sorrows of this life,
until the husband and father was called to
another world by that given messenger,
who sooner or later visits every home.
Thus passes from among us one of the old
est of our fellow men, who was a good
citizen, kind parent and good neighbor
The funeral was preached at the r. d.
Church on Monday by Rev. W. G. Myles,
to a large congregation.
A sad and fatal accident happened in
Lehman township, yesterday afternoon,
the full particulars of which we are not
able to give at present. Mr.. Charles Il.
Morrison, who lives on the hill above the
residence of w. B. Hornbeck, in Delaware
township, was homeward bound with a
load of wood, and when just below the re-
sidence of Calvin Cron, the team got be-
yond Mr.. Morrison's control and ran off a
steep bank at that point, and over set the
wagon and load. The unfortunate man
was thrown underneath the wood and
killed. Mrs. Calvin Cron, we hear, saw
the accident, and at once ran to Mr.. Nor
gans for assistance, but Mr.. Morgan and
his boys were absent, and she was obliged
to retrace her steps and go to Alpheus
Bensley's, mile distance before she could
find help and procure any one to remove
the wagon and load from the body of Mr..
Morrison. We are told life was extinct
when the remains were extricated. 1t is
one of tile most deplorable and sad acci-
dents that has occurred here in years. This
is the third well known citizen of this
township who has died within two weeks.
Samuel L. Hunt, whose family was
sadly afflicted with measles, last week
started for a physician, but when near the
residence of Martin Hazen, was himself
taken so i'll with the disease that he could
neither proceed any farther, or return
home, and was still at Mr.. Hazen's on
Saturday, but was recovering some what.

The most humorous debate OF the sea-
son took place at the last meeting Of the
Farmers Club Saturday night. Brother
Majors and brother McCracken were the
participants, and the audience was highly
entertained. The debate covered much
ground from simple mechanics to ethical
culture, from self evident facts to the most
intricate differentiations on morals and
business methods. Each held the floor
until the subject under consideration was
pretty well exhausted. The credit of pre-
senting the best and most forcible argu-
ments was given to brother Majors. The
only fault we have to find with the club is
that they do not give notice of these meet
ings. Standing room would be at a pre-
MUM, and our host Montross. would soon
need to build an addition to meet the re-
quirements Of the audiences.
