Murray's host of friends In Reynoldsvllle were greatly surprised and saddened on Monday forenoon of last week to learn that he had suddenly expired that morning from fatty degen eration of tho heart. Mr. Murray, who had lived In this county over fifty years and was well known and highly respect ed throughout tho county, had become better known tn Reynoldsvllle and made many now and warm friends here slnco his son, Dr. J. H. Murray, located in the town less than two years ago. Mr. Murray was born In the county Langford, Ireland, In 137, and cnmi to this county when cloven years old, 1848, with his mother, four Bisters and two brothers and settled In GiiKkill town ship whero ho resided until a few months before be died, when ho moved into a now dwelling that he had erect ed In Punxsutawney. His widow, fve sons and three daughters survive him. We clip tho following from the Punxsu tawney Spirit concerning his death and what ho was thought of in the commu nity where ho had been known ovor half a century: Mr. Murray had been at tho wake of Mrs. Lalie Brlllhurt, when, after build ing tho fires, he retired with a view to getting a little rest. He apparently slept until a few minutes after eight o'clock, when tho family heard a noise upstairs nu ran to lils room, lie was found lying on tho floor, gasping for breath. His face wns purple. His son, W. C. Murray, rained him In his arms and placed some liquor to his lips, u little of which ho swallowed. But he did not revive, and died in a few mo ments in tho arms of his son before the arrival of a physician. J lie mime or vul. .Murray has long been regarded by those who knew his generous, seir-siierinelng nature, ss a synonym for kindness and liberality. His services, Ills purse and tho products of hi . farm were always at tho disposal of those lu need. Gonial and hospitable to tho last degree, ho was ever ready to sacrlfleo his own comfort to the comfort of others. Ho followed tho dictates of his own heart, which was full of sympa thy for his fellow-men. Ha was always an ardent Republican, and was a candi date for County Treasurer in 1804, but. was not successful. Ho was electee. County Commissioner Inst fall by a large majority, unci would have began his official duties on January 1st. Val. Murray was In tho fullest sense of the word a good num. and those who knew him best will feel tho keenest grief at his departure.. Funeral services were hold Wednes day at 2 o'clock p. M. Tho funeral ad- ess at the residence- was given Dy Rev. J. G. Noble in accordance with a request made by the deceased several veai'R nrro. Rev. Nohto wns assisted bv Revs. Palmor and Hurtman. Tho re mains were laid to rest in Circle Hill cemetery, tho ord: r of Odd Follows, of which he was a member, emulating at tho grave. Died from Over Exertion. George W. Neff, of Sykesvillo, who had charge of the Burns House billiard rooms in Reynoldsvllle a couple of years ago, was found dead near bis home on Tuesday evening of last woek. It was reported In this place that he had been murdered and robbrd of a watch and $12.00, which Is false. A jury wns empuneled by 'Squire J. L. Long, In tho absence of the coronor, and an In quest held. Tho verdict was: "Heart failure, brought on by over exertion and excitement." By the evidence given at the inquest it appears that a small boy, while pass ing Mr. Neff's house, fired snow balls against tho door and Mr. Neff cume out and ran after tho boy and after running soveral hundred foet dropped dead.

Study up on your weak points, so that when the final examination comes on you will be ready to meet It. You have had a good ttmu during the past two weeks, giving and receiving presents, and now the time has arrived when we must get down to business and resume , work to fit ourselves for the active du ties of after-life. And now we will give you a few more "don'ts" that we think if you observe carefully you will profit thereby: Don't read for the sake of getting rid of a lesson. Careful reading will im prove your memory and develop your talont for oratory, if you have any. Don't study one branch too much, to the exclusion of others. In order to be come learned it is necessary to study them all. Don't sign your name o If you didn't cure how it looked. How can you ex pect others to respect it If you don't.
