Our citizens who had known James A: Thompson, of Caledonia township, were very much startled to learn of his ' death, on Monday evening. It was not known here that he had even been sick, and so we were not pre pared tor any such sad, intelligence. It seems Mr. Thompson was taken seriously ill on Wednesday, the 9th inst., with hernia of the strangulated form, and grew worse until his death on the following Monday evening, at 6 o'clock. The funeral took place from his late residence in Caledonia, a short distance from the coal mines, on Wednesday morning, at 10 o'clock, Rev. J. Donnelly, of this city, officiat ed. The Baptist choir f this city were present and sang two appropriate selections. The Corunna Comman dery of Sir Knights, of which order Mr. Thompson was a member, at tended the funeral in a body, and took charge of the burial ceremonies. Before reaching the Corunna cem etery the K. T. Band and a large number of Sir Knights joined the procession. Dea" Thompson, for such he was familiarly called, was born July 27th, 1817, in Washington county, N. Y., and removed to this State in 1856. He settled in Caledonia township, which was then but a dense forest, and began at once clearing up the land. For thirty years he has lived on this farm, and by his industry and good business management, has made it one of the best farms in yiis section of our county. He was a man of more than ordinary intelligence and talent, and we doubt if the State of Michigan has any farmers who are better informed or more generally rtad than our late and highly esteemed friend and fellow citizen. He pos sessed a well selected library which he daily u-ed. He was a man esteemed by his fellow citizens and was always ready to advance the educational and moral interests ot his township. lie was a hijrhly respected member of the Baptist church of this city and a constant attendant. . A many of the friends of Dea Thompson in this city were not able to attend the funeral last Wednesday the pastor has decided to preach a memorial discourse next Sunday morning, at the Baptist church. . , Stock Notes. Spinella 2:2a 14, by Napoleon, is reported to be very speedy this year and has already shown miles better than her record. She is in charge of C. E. Abbott, who is now training on the Chicago track. Abbott also has Symbolic, brother of Spinella, and is sending him along at a merry clip. In the matinee race at Chicago last week he won the 3:00 race in 2:38 1-4, and on Saturday trotted a mile in a race in 2:33. P. M. Rowell has a tabulated ped igree of Byerly's Abdaliah in his possession. The blood lines of this horse are wonderful, tracing to many famous horses; among which we can mention Imp. Messenger, the "daddy of them all," as he appears. 1 1 6 times in the pedigree of this horse. The Breeders' Gazette speaking of the trotting races at Philadelphia wys: "On the last day of the Point Breeze meeting there was a race of entirely too much merit to be passed without notice, especially as it brought out in the brightest colors, Jeroine Turner, a horse that after making a record of 2:175 last season, went so seriously lame that it was thought he would not be able to start again, but his race at Philadelphia was of a character to show that he is a better horse this year than ever before, as he won the fourth, fifth and sixth heats in 2:22, 2:23 1-4, 2:22." A general complaint comes to us from all over the county of a strange fatality among colts this spring. Wm. Sawer informs us that eighteen have died within two miles of his place.
