ANOTHER OLD CITI/EN DEAD.—WILLIAM
MIX, Esq., 0110 of the oldest, most widely
known and highly respected citizens of this
borough, quietly passed away at half-past ten
o'clock yesterday morning, after a lingering
illness, aged nearly 72 years.
Mr. Mix was the eldest son of the late Col.
IIIRAM MIX. ami was born in Wysox town

father to this place while a boy, and for some
time was employed in his father's store. lie
was also engaged with bis father staging and
mail contracting 011 the route between Klmira
and Wilkesßarre. When the Croton water
works were constructed for the City of Xew
York, himself and the late DANIEL SKAULE,
of Montrose, were associated in a large con
tract on the job. Since then he has lived qui
etly in this place, occupying the paternal
homestead. He took but little interest in
politics, but was frequently chosen to liill po
sitions of honor and trust in the borough
government, lie had served very ctliciently
us poormaster for many years, and was re
elected to the otlice last winter.
In January IS 12 Mr. Mix was married to
Miss ANGELUQUE PREVOST, with whom he
had ever since lived happily. Two children
were born to them and with the mother sur

to his family and his home has always been
I one of the pleasantost and most attractive in
Towauda, and his death will be a severe and
I trying blow to his bereaved wife and children.
.Mr. Mix had apparently been a remarka
bly healthy maiquntil the last few years, and
gave but slight perceptible evidence of de
cline until last winter, lie was confined to
his room for several months, but his death
was not the result of organic disease, but a
gradual giving way of the vital system.
The immediate family of the decased are
his widow and two children, JOHN W. MIX,
Esq., and Mrs. 31. 31. SPALDING. lie also

WASHINGTON July 2.", 7 I'. M. —The
President has done well during the day. ,
At the dressing of the wound, after the;
! morning bulletin was issued, a displaced
spiculum of broken rib about half an inch :
long was removed. The track of the
wound at this point was dilated and a !
i large drainage tube inserted for the pur-;
j pose of facilitating the discharge of pus. !
Since that time he has had several quiet!
' naps and taken more nourishment than on
any of the last Ave days, and without gas
tric irritation. When the wound was j
i dressed this evening, the discharge of!
health}' pus was satisfactorily abundant.
At noon his pulse was 105, temperature
1 08. t and respiration 10. At 7 p. m. his
j pulse was 101, respiration 22, tempera-
I ture 100.7.
