We have received notice but no particulars of the death of David Harper, of Harper's Ferry,
Allamakee County, on Thursday evening last at his residence.

It is said by some that he died of apoplexy, by some that heart disease relieved him from this troubled world, by others, that he sickened on Monday last and died on Thursday, at 6 P.M.
No matter when or how Mr. Harper left this world, the people of Allamakee County have lost one of the Noblest specimens of manhood that ever trod their soil. He was about 48 years old.
We expect particulars in the Lansing papers.
