He spent the best of tho summer at Ilarvey's Lake and vicinity. About two weeks ago he roturned to Wilkesbarre to preside in court. The weather was un usually cold and tho courthouse being without heat was vory damp. Judge Bennett felt its efTects and was compell ed to adjourn court and go home.

But disease had shattered his constitution and ho con tinued to grow weaker, and on Sunday night just as the clock was about to strike tho midnight hour he passed quietly away. Ho was buried yesterday. Judge. Bennett was born In Harpers lield, Delaware county, N. Y., on Feb ruary 10, 1845, and was 54 yoars of age. He was of Quaker ancestry.
