         Death of a Well-Known Citizen
         
         On the 9th inst., at the Douglass House, Houghton,
       JOSHUA W. VANANDEN died, aged 49 years. The deceased
       was born and raised in the city of New York, and re-
       moved and settled in Auburn, N.Y., in early manhood.
       His history as a hotel-keeper commenced in the Ameri-
       can, at Detroit, over twenty years since. From there
       he came to the Sault Ste Marie, and erected and kept
       the VAN ANDEN House from 1845 till his removal to
       this place in the auturmn of 1853. In July, 1854, 
       he opened the Bigalow House, of which he was the
       deservedly popular landlord till last spring, when
       he opened the Douglass House, at Houghton. A post
       mortem examination revealed the fact that his demise
       was due to a cancerous formation in the region of
       the pyloric orifice of the stomach.
