. Death with his sickle keen" has
severed the brittle cord Of life and
another has passed from earthly scenes
to that home in the sweet beyond
where signs and sobs and SORROWS are
unknown. At the home of his parents
Ross Corner parted from earthly joys
and mortal cares, on Wednesday
morning, at O'clock. Just as the
first rays of the sun began to break in
the orient, the light from this
bright and happy and noble soul Of
this pure young man faded wnen he
was just beginning to break upon the
joys of a useful career. Last Sunday
morning, full of life and hope and
promise. Ross Corner was taken i'll of
pneumonia and, after few short
days of lingering pain, the angel of
death wrapped about him the white
and everlasting robe of immortality
and carried his sweet spirit TO heaven
to dwell in JOY and peace through the
endless ages of eternity.
The funeral takes place today at
the home of his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. M. NJ. Corner, where the last
sad parting look will be taken at his
mortal remains from which the spirit
has flown TO that home without end
Another of the dearest and sweeles
and most precious has been takel
from relatives whose hearts are heavy
and sad, and from friends who arr
filled with sympathy. All has BEEF
done that can be. The veil Of futnrit,
has been drawn and the voice we lovet
will greet us no more, but all will
live with that trust and hope tina
assures us tuat we will soon meet gu
loved ones on the distant shores o
time, across whose threshold we will
all soon be called to pass.

Where Washington Slept.

New York Cor Pittsburg Dispatch:
Down in the heart of Hampstead the

Hotel is genuine. Ben Sammis was
the main progenitor, and after him
came Nehemiah. Hanging on the wall
today is a grand old oaken sign: EN-
tertainment by Nehemiah Sammis." 1t
is finely preserved, and it hung over
the road as far back as 1712. In this
house George Washington slept. On
the stairs leading to the attic are two
loose steps, which were removed from
time to time in the revolutionary days
n order to let two or three colonials
enter dark cell for concealment from
the British There are shoe-prints oil
horses which were ridden up these
stairs by dashing cavalrymen for bot
ties of good things to drink. Henry
Sammis, a true descendant, and his
wife conduct the house at present, and
will hand it on down, as there are
Young Sammises coming along.
