" KOTKH Y ROM HOWARIJ. —Death seems to bavc found a Held ripe for his sickle in our good old neighborlwod and is gather ing his harvest with unrelenting energy. Within a few months an unusually large number of our.old citixem havo answered to his summons. Within ten days no less than three who havo lived long, useful and respected lives among us have gone down into tho "deep dark valley," and as wo write wo hear of others who are "only waiting." On Sunday of last week, April 26, Michael Schenck, Sr., who had lived the allotted "three score years and ten," in this community, departed, following close ly his lifb-long companion, and leaving behind him the fragrant memory of a well spent life. Mr. Schenck was a member of ono of the oldest families on the Raid F.a gle, and was "laid beside his fathers," in the family burying ground a short distance below the village. Old as Michael Schenck was he left behind an uncle, Daniel Schenck, who was a voter before Michael was born, but who followed him to the same resting place, but a few days after, at the ripe age of ninety-two years, Daniel Schenck was born in Lancaster county, April 2, 1788, and removed with his parents to his late home on the Hald Kugle in 1786. This was then a wilderness, and was a part of MiHlin county, compelling tho very few inhabitants of these parts to journey all the way to I.ewistown to attend court. From a point of time at which the Nineteenth century, noij rapidly nearing it* close, was yet spoken of a* in the future, until within a few days back, Daniel Schenek has toiled and labored on the same farm, on the banks of the benutiful Bald Eagle ; and now calmly rests in his last home on a portion of the land from which, a* a boy, he helped remove the grand old oaks which had held it in un disputed possession for centuries. Mr. Schenck's life was one of honest toil, and unpretentious piety. For more than sixty years he wa a consistent member of the Mennonitc church, and lived in strict observance of all its ordinance*. Mr. j Schenck was in no sense a politician at any )>criod of hi* life, hut esteemed highly the privilege of franchise, and made a conscience of voting at every election, ' first with the Whig* and afterward with ; the Republican*. His labor ion* and pru dent life wa rewarded with abundant suc cess, and he leaves four farm, now occu pied by hi# two sons. Hi* funeral, con ducted by Rev. Mr. Carr# of this place, and Ifcv. Jno. Bruhaker, a venerable preacher of the Mcnnonile faith, was very ! largely attended by the relatives and ! friends, to whom he had been "I'ncle j Daniel" for so many years. I Scarcely had our community recovered j from the shock occasioned by the denth of I so old and well known a citizen, before it > received another in the announcement, by J telegraph, of the death of Mis* Susan C. ; Montgomery, daughter of the late Joseph Montgomery. Miss Montgomery had fr some time l>eon a sufferer ftora cancer, and after seeking rplief in vain from repeated ' surgical operations, visited a sister, Mrs. Campbell, living near Belleville, Mifflin county, for the purpose of undergoing i special treatment there. This also proved futile, and on Monday lat, she gave up the unequal struggle, and calmly yielded to the great last enemy, in the fifty-sixth year of her age. For near twenty-five years Mis* Montgomery had been an active and zealous member ol the Lick Run Presbyterian church, and her loss in this relation will prove only less irrepara- ! hie than that sustained by the family in ( which she wa held in such affectionate esteem. Possessed of a religious character of great purity ; much more than ordinary ! intelligence; great vivacity, and a never ceasing flow of spirits, Miss Montgomery was not only tho life of the home circle, but so pleasing a social campanion that her death will leave a void in the commu nity that ean never he filled. She was buried yesterday morning, and a* her re lationship was very extensive, her funeral , was largely attended. These deaths, so rapidly succeeding each other, and following so close upon others ; which have already been noticed in your i paper, cast a shade of quiet over our com- j ■nunily, and vet the busy hum of life goes on. Mr. Lauth's Improvements of the old Howard Iron Works make rapid progre**. The new church built by him approaches completion, and before many weeks will lie ready for dedication. New houses, barns and fences, are being erected on all side*, and change* Intended to facilitate the bus iness of the establishment seem to be of daily occurrence. A couple of young Indie*, daughter and granddaughter of the late 'Squire Bper ring, hare taken step* to improve what seem* to he a good business opening, by starting a fancy store in connection with a millinery and dressmaking establishment. The young ladies deserve to succeed, and we hopo they may. Our farmer* are as busy a* usual at this season, and it is gratifying to notice that they seem to be improving in their meth ods. Land is tilled more carefully, and more attention is paid to the prime necessi ty of keeping It In good condition than formerly. We learn that tobacco will he tried to a considerable extent in this neigh borhood this season. A man named Lamsin, who came from Clinton county to this neighborhood this spring, seem* to have been sorely afflicted shy ill health in hi* family. He brought with him a lad of tome fifteen years who for a fall third of his life had suffered from a diseased leg. Dr. Hensr.l learned of it, and of the father'* inability to meet the heavy expense# of proper treatment, and in the kindness of his big heart called to soo tho lad. HO found liirn in a terrible con dition, and decided that amputation alnrw could save hi* life, sod with tlio chance* aguinat him even then. Tho Doctor took prompt measure* to make tho boy n public ehurge, so far as expenses for proper food and medicine wcro concerned, and after some week* of nourinhmcnt and medication to get tho little fellow'* *ylein in condition to endure the operation, amputated the leg, above tho knee, on Monday )a*t, being assisted by Dr. Dobbin* of your tewn. It i* needle** to *ay that tho operation wn* a nkiilful and *ucce**ful one. The Doctor* agreed that tho patient could not have lived many month* with tho leg on. Tho only chance for life he had wa in amputa tion, and thin wan by no mean* a prorni*ing one. The poor little fellow bore the *hock of tho operation quite a* well a* it wa* ex pected he would, and if he should get on the next two or three day* a* well a* he ha* so far, he may yet have a long and measurably useful life. I)r. Hontxl de serve* and receive* much credit for the humanity and 'energy a* well a* kil!, dis played in the case. [The above communication wa* written on Tuesday e ming, and a* we go to pre** wo learn that the poor boy died Wednes day morning.] DKATHOF AXOLDCITIZKW. —Mr. Joseph Green, one of the most aged citizens of Milesburg, died at bit home in that [dace on Sunday morning last after a long ill ness.
