NICHOLAS ARCHER DIES.

Nicholas Archer, the elderly insane man who has been in the care of the sheriff for about ten days, awaiting room for his return to Longcliff asylum, died on Thursday morning, June 29, a little before 10:30 o’clock. He has been in a practically dying condition since Sunday, most of the time unconscious. Miss Ella O’Connor, the sheriff’s daughter, went to his room a little after nine o’clock and he was then living, and moving his hands in a peculair manner, which he had been doing for some days. She went to the room again about ten minutes later, and found him dead. The body has been taken back toWheatfield, his former residence, for burial, which will be at public expense. He leaves a widow and a large family of grown children.
