FROM ROARING SPRINGS.

  Lawson Childneck, of East Sharpsburg, died on the 12th inst.  He was in 
very good health until last Friday evening.  During the day he was engaged 
in putting away apples.  He ate several that had been frost-bitten.  He 
immediately took ill, his physician was summoned, but could not give any 
relief.  Several other physicians were also called to consult but his case 
baffled the skill of all.  It was a very peculiar one.  Mr. Childneck had 
great faith in the Christian religion.  He was received into membership in 
the Reformed Church by Rev. Wolf.  His remains were taken to Hagerstown, 
Md., the place of his nativity, for interment yesterday.  His brother, Mr. 
W. D. Childneck, from Hagerstown, was here and accompanied the remains.  Mr. 
Childneck was an industrious and careful man.  He leaves a wife and several 
children.  He was about 45 years of age.  He formerly was employed in the 
shops in Altoona, being a blacksmith by trade.
