A Despicable Trick

About a month ago there appeared in The Reformer a notice of the death of Robert Youngs, of Tomisgency, Ohio, formerly of Middleton township. This notice came to The Reformer in proper form through the mails, and was published in good faith. It turns out that it was sent over a forged signature by some evil disposed person, as yet unknown, and was entirely without foundation. The Reformer regrets that it has unwittingly been made the means of giving pain to Mr. Youngs' parents in Middleton, who were naturally exercised at reading the news of the death of a son they believed to be in good [health.]
