physician and surgeon well known in
this State, died suddenly Thursday OF
last week. He was born at Wilton 4C
years ago and leaves a widow. Five
physicians who were called concluded
that DR. Palmer through mistake took
a dose of poison while suffering with
pink eye. He had been ailing for
several days and it is believed that he
took five grains of pyoscine hydro
bromate, believing it to be aconite
which he had been using. Mrs. Pal
mer discovered his condition and
heard him say "emetic," but no other
word was uttered by him. The physi
clans labored for nine hours to save
his life.

SHEEP-The receipts OF sheep this morn
ing were larger than usual and the trains
for the most part arrived in good season
considerable proportion OF the receints
consisted OF ewes with quite a sprinkling
OF lambs, Wethers and yearlings continue
in very light supply.
Fortunately the quality Of the ewes on
sale this morning was pretty good on an
average, that Is, there were quite a good
many loads OF right good killers The de-
mand for the better grades was active and
the market fully steady. Good ewes sold
up to S. 40 The few good wethers also
sold very readily. Common and medium
grades of ewes were rather slow, packers
naturally neglecting that kind in favor of
the better grades.
The feeling on lambs at the different
market points has been weak for some
little time, but II was very evident this
morning that buyers wanted a few good
killers, and what there was sold readily
at steady prices, as high as TS being paid
for good llghtweights. On the other hand
heavy lambs lacking In quality were slow
sale, and the tendency on everything Of
that description was downward.
