SUDDEN DEATH.
Mr. Lafayette Neff Expires from a Ruptur-
ed Artery,
This community was shocked on
Tuesday afternoon to hear of the sud-
den death of Lafayette Neff, a life-long
citizen of Potter township.
Mr. Neff was in the field plowing
when a sudden attack of coughing pro-
duced the rupture of an artery in his
mouth and in about five minutes he
died from the hemorrhage, as it was
impossible to summon medical aid in
time to check the bleeding.
Up to the moment of his death he
appeared to be in a fair condition of
health, having remarked on the morn-
ing of the day of his death that he was
feeling unusually well. .
Mr. Nef!’ was one of the most indus-
trious farmers of this valley, deeply at-
tached to his home and family and
strietly attending to his own affairs,
He seldom went from his immediate
neighborhood ; his wife preceeded him
only a few months ago to the other
shore.
He was a member of the Reformed
of Christianity. His age

Mr. Neff was the son of Major John
Nefl, being one of a family of sixteen
children, several of whom died
suddenly.
Mr. Neff leaves four sons, William

and Calvin, principal of the Mifflin-

burg.
The largest peach orchard in this
county, planted about four years ago,
is on the mountain north of Aarons-
burg on an old improvement known
as the Hahn property, on which 3000
peach trees were planted as an experi-
ment. The trees budded last year but
the buds were taken off to stimulate
the growth of the trees. This year the
buds will be allowed to remain on the
trees to test what the crop will be, If
the result shows up favorably it will
result in planting other peach orch-
ards in lands similarly located, and
Penns valley become a peach produ-
cing district with good profits as a re-
ward and make us independent of Del-
aware and Maryland peaches. We
anxiously await the results from this
experiment.
The head of this enterprise is a Juni-
ata county peach grower, who feels
vorably located for raising
cious fruit; with him

attention to the proper cultivation of
the orchard, eg
