The desceased had ordered his carriage last Tuesday evening and when it was brought to the door, he filled it with his young children and those of some of his neighbors, and drove to Newark, Del., and gave all the little ones ice cream at Mrs. Roach's saloon.

He was quickly removed to the residence of Mr. Vallandingham near by, and was speechless until the hour of his death which was early on Wednesday morning, his wife being present when he died. About two years ago the Doctor was thrown from his carriage and suffered an injury of the spine and this injury it is thought hastened his death.

Moore, and she, with four children, survive him. The Doctor had been in delicate health for some years and had been partially paralyzed when he met with the accident mentioned above.
