It was a painful surprise to this community on Tuesday morning to learn the Mr. Samuel Jacka had died the evening previous at his farm home in the town of Mineral Point, in the neighborhood known as Graysville. It has been the privilege of the writer to know Mr. Jacka from early manhood, and through all these many years to note his strict integrity, and other manly virtues. Through untiring industry and judicious economy he had won success and independence as a farmer, under circumstances which only a few so well meet and overcome. His widow and children who must deeply mourn for the devoted husband and father, have the consolation of knowing that their sorrow is appreciated by hundreds who knowing him can estimate the greatness of their loss. Although he had not been well for some time, there was no apprehension that death was near until a few hours before it came. Monday morning Mr. Jacka intended coming to the city to consult a physician, but feeling scarcely able for the short journey concluded instead to send for a physician to call on him. Dr. McDonald was therefore summoned, who immediately saw that the afflicted man had but a few hours more to live, and advised him to adjust his business affairs at once. Attorney A. S. White was called in, some legal papers drawn for Mr. Jacka's signature, and by 4 o'clock of the same day his spirit had fled. He was about 57 years of age, and had resided in the vicinity where death found him from boyhood. The funeral yesterday, the 10th, was largely attended, services being held in the P.M. church; and burial in the city cemetery.

A sad occurrence resulting in the death of one of the workmen, took place in a shaft of the Mineral point Mining Company's mines on Saturday morning last. Mr. Solomon Manly, in company with other workmen, had prepared a blast, of which the fuse was lighted when the men retired to a place of safety. After waiting a sufficient length of time, as was supposed, and there being no explosion, Mr. Manly, thinking the fuse had gone out, repaired to the spot, which he reached at the moment the blast exploded. He was instantly killed - several pieces of rock striking his head and other parts of his person. Mr. Manly was an industrious laboring man, and leaves a wife and five children, whose support had been mainly dependent upon his labor, to mourn his sudden death. The sympathies of our citizens are with the afflicted family.

William Cornelius died very suddenly at his home in this city last Thursday night. He had been apparently as well as usual during the day, pursuing his usual vocations, and through the evening, which he spent at home with his family, he seemed to be in perfect health. between 9 and 10 o'clock when the family retired, Mr. Cornelius said to his wife that he would lie upon the floor beside the bed for a while, as he often did in warm weather, and taking some bedding laid down. In a few minutes, when his wife had retired to the bed, but before she had got fully asleep, she noticed that her husband was breathing heavily and unnaturally. She called him but received no answer. Then reaching out she got hold of him and shook him, but failed to arouse him. In alarm, she then got up, struck a light and called their two boys from an adjoining room, just in time to see the father draw his expiring breath. It was an unmistakable case of heart failure. He was known to have heart trouble and on two or three occasions had been prostrated by it, but there was not thought that it was imminently dangerous. Deceased was 65 years of age. He emigrated from England to Mineral Point in 1847, since which time this has been his home constantly,except for a short time spent in the mines on Lake Superior. He was twice married, the last time to Miss Emma Clark, who survives him. He leaves two sons - one by each marriage, the youngest about 18 years old. The remains were deposited in the city cemetery Sunday afternoon.
