WILLIAM TREWEEK is DEAD.

"a flash of tho lightning, break of the wave,
Man passeth from life to his rest in the grave.
While the heart is yet sore from
recent sorrowing, to be again wound
ed in the same part is multiplying
affection. Following SO soon after
others of like character, the startling

keen pang of sorrow through this
community, paling many a manly
cheek and causing many bold eyes
to grow dim in yelling tears. AS

about O'Clock opened up his shop,
preparing for days business. About
o'clock he returned to his home, suf-
fnring with severe pain in his side.

it an acute case of neuralgia OF the
heart. The Doctor FASTENED to the
drugstore for remedies, and called
Doctor Bailey to his aid. The reme-

fectly rational, and remarked how
good it was to be relieved OF the
pain. Almost while he spoke his
limbs stiffened breathing ceased and
he was dead.
