The Progress has just learned that on New Year Day, one of our old aud highly esteemed citizens, was caned, while sitting quietly, aud without provocation, in his own house. It has since leaked out that the persons who committed this assault were his own children 1 It was a gold-headed cane, and Mr. Voss' many friends hope that he may lean on it during the next forty years. An extraordinary occurrence here,, and it is to be presumed not ordiuary anywhere, was the double funeral on Tuesday of last week, of Andrew Miller and wife. The aged couple resided on a farm east of this place, and on Sunday night a week Mrs. Miller died ; on Monday night her husband, Andrew Miller, also died. The funeral procession was led by two wagons, each of which contained a coffined corpse. The interment took place at the U. P. graveyard, west of of town. Uncle Andy, as he was called, was aged about 75 years. Prof. Herman Boiseu died on Monday night a week, in Lawrenceville, N. J., where he held a position as Professor in a wellknown College.
