He was one of the best know and most popular citizens of Lan caster county, having been magis trate at this place for 12 consecu tive years, being elected by good majorities for each of the six terms, sometimes in the face of strong op position. At the last election he was opposed by R. S. Stewart, one of tha best known and ablest law yers in this 'section of the State. About three months ago, realizing his condition, and thinking he would probably never again be rfble to re sume tho arduous duties of his of fice, he reluctantly tendered his resignation, whereupon the governor appointed Jno. Caskey, nephew of the deceased,' in his stead. Mr. Caskey w&s.a member of the Asso ciate Reformed Presbyterian church. He is survived by one brother. J. H.

Such ordinances are now in force in sev eral of our larger cities, but small er towns and cities have not adopt ed similar ordinances, presumably because such towns have no veteri narian on their boaftts of health or practicing In their communities.
