Death of Dr. Abner Hard, of Aurora.
Dr. Abner Hard, of Aurora, brother of Dr,
Hard, of this city, died from the effects ol
blood-poisoning at his home in the above city
last Saturday morning, and was burled last
Tuesday, the funeral being a very large one,
Some weeks ago, while attending a patient
wiio received injuries on the railroad, the
Doctor's finger, on which was a slight scratch,
became inoculated with, virus, resulting in
his death after days and nights of fearful suf-
fering. He was a prominent citizen of Auro
ra and universally well liked and esteemed as
a gentleman and an able physician.
The muffled drum's sad roll
Has beat the soldier's last tattoo.
No more on life's parade shall meet
The brave and daring few.
On fame's eternal camping ground
His silent tent is spread
And glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac of tho dead.
Tho deceased was born in Geneva, N. Y., in
1820, and was in his 65th year and had been a
resident of Aurora for over 30 years. He en
tered tho army at the breaking out of the Re
bellion and was surgeon in chief of the caval
ry corps G. A. R. Ho served as alderman and
later was postmaster of Aurora for four years.
Tho Aurora yews says of him:
"Dr. Hard was a man of rare individuality.
His was a life tilled with severe professional
toil. Whether in the quietest homes of sick
ness and suffering, or on the blood-stained
nciu 01 uauie, enveloped in smoke and be
tween walls of flame, he was true in heart and
prompt and intelligent to act for the relief of
tiiose in need 01 ins professional attention.
At the battle ot Gettysburg he was tiven
charge of the hospitals and worked 'only as a
capable surgeon, a true patriot and a man of
soul could worK. lie is remembered grate
fully by many men who were, on those event
ful July days in 1803, torn with rebel shot and
shell."
He wrote a "History of the Eighth Cavalry
Regiment of Illinois Volunteers During the
Great Rebellion," of which tliut paper Buys:
"Certainly no man was better calculated to
write a history of the regiment than Dr. Hard.
Ho followed those intrepid lighters from St.
Charles to Cockncyville, and was with them
on the Rappahannock, at Cold Harbor, Mill,
rem Li ill, at bloody Manassas and 011 tlietield
of Antietam. He looked not backward at any
time and Chancvllorsville, Culpepper, Fred
ericksburg and (iettysburg came, with their
sieves of blood and desolation, to find him
alive to duty.
The part Dr. Hard took in caring for the
wounded nt the battle of Gettysburg, and his
merciful treatment of sufferers, is frequently
alluded to by tho lecturer who explains to vis
itors at the great Chicago panorama the his
tory connected with that memorable engage
ment." At the funeral there were 15 of tho regular
physicians of Aurora. The city schools were
closed and all the public ofllcers participated
In the obsequies. He is gone from the great
battlefield of life to tho camp eternal, leaving
behind him the name and fame of many good
deeds ere death finally mustered out tho sol.
dicr-surgeon to join that Invisible army of the
Lord by (he gates of the New Jerusalem.

Mr. E. Springer, of Mechanicshurg, Pa.,

abscess on lungs, and reduced to a walking

me so much good that I.bouirtit a dollar bottle.

derstand the value of this feature.
Tho "Ottawa" Reversible Carrier, also
manufactured by this firm, with which hay
may be delivered to either side of driveway
without change upon track, has proved itself
by practical use to be a very valuable machine.

the anniversary of the death of Lincoln, April
14th, next, and in many cities memorial exer
cises will be hnld, while from others tho Tur

coin's tomb. In this city the Turners and tho
G. A. R., have united to have an appropriate
observance of tho occasion, tho exercises to
be held at Turner nail, on the evening of
April 14th, and other local organizations will
probably unite with them.

Last Monday, In the court house, there was
a big demand for corkscrews by the judges,
clerks and deputies. The few who were
minus such implements of domestic use had
to resort to borrowing from their neighbors,
and the result was that old screws, rusted by
long disuse, wero fished out of their hiding
places and made to do duty. The cause of
this onslaught on the corks was that II. L.
Hossack, proprietor of the Ottawa Mineral
Springs, presented to the court house officials
samples 01 bis bottled Banlcula beer. The
newspaper men were not forirotten and were
all supplied according to their capacity, and
