farm where they always made their home. The had eight children, fie of whom
are living-Wm. H. ALLEN, of Venice, Mrs. J. M. MARQUIS, Florence, Ella,
James and Harvey, at home.
*I think in this case that Florence is the town, not another child, i. e.,
Mrs. MARQUIS lives in Florence, but I could be wrong.

On the 12th, at her home in Midway, of pneumonia, after an illness of but
two weeks, Mrs. PYLES, wife of 'Squire J. G. PYLES.

At Richmond, Ind., on the 24th ult., Rev. O. M. TODD, aged 76 years.

Andrew JACKSON, and that was his last Democratic vote. He leaves three sons
and three daughters.

At Washington, Pa., on the 14th, John M. BRADEN, Esq., aged 45 years.
This was a shockingly sudden death. Mr. BRADEN took tonsillitis only a
week ago, and he was not dangerously ill till Wednesday of this week. He
was well known to everybody in the County. He leaves a wife and three
daughters. His rapid advancement to the front rank of barristers surprised
his friends, because when a young man he was diffident and retiring: but he
was studying when others thought he was amusing himself. Had Mr. BRADEN
lived he would have been called to many positions of honor and trust.

illness of only a few days. Deceased was married to Mr. HINDMAN less than a

P. church. The business houses of town were closed while the services were
going on. The interment was at the Hill cemetery. The illness of Mrs. H.
had only begun the Friday before the Wednesday on which she died. The cause
of the illness and death was an acute aflection (sic) of the liver, and one
which seldom comes under the notice of physicians. Everyone sympathizes
with the family in the distress caused by this untimely death.
