Oakfield.---Mr. Clark, the oldest man in the town, ninety-one years of age, was buried from the Free Baptist Church last Sabbath. Sermon by the Rev. Mr. Lewis, pastor of that church. His companion, but one year younger than himself, is still quite healthy. The old gentleman died purely of old age, passing away by the gradual wearing out of the machinery and finally dropped away, as gently and easily as a child happily falls asleep in its mother's arms.
