parently enjoying his usual good health,
and that night ate a hearty supper. He
retired about his usual hour with his
son, Nh. NJ. b. Horton, and a little
two-year-old grandson, who was in his
arms. He conversed short while
with his son, and then made a few re-
marks to the little grandson. In
short while the son heard him make a
peculiar noise like he was grasping for
breath. His son shook him and asked
what was the matter. Receiving no
response, the son arose and lifted his
father up, when he discovered that he
was dead, having passed away without
a struggle or groan. Mr.. Horton was
