A telegram received yesterday morning announced the death of Herman D. NEISTADT at Painesville, Ohio where he had been placed in an inebriate asylum. He came to Crawfordsville from Carorllton, MO several years ago and as a merchant tailor built u p a splendid trade as he was a most excellent workman. He began to drink, and such a hold did the demon get on him that it was impossible for him to free himself from the wiles of the fell destroyer of his peace. His friends concluded to place him under treatment, but it was of no use. He leaves a wife and one child who receive the sympathy of the entire community. The remains of the unfortunate man arrived in this city last night, and will be interred tomorrow.
