DEATH OF A VETERAN At 12:30 o'clock yesterday morning, James Munn, Sr., died at his residence on Union Street, in this town. He was a member of the Second N.J. Cavalry, and was injured by being thrown from his horse while in the army, in 1865. He has suffered more than ten thousand deaths during the past 25 years. He was a complete wreck and presented a most pitiable sight. His spine being terribly injured, for years his nervous condition has been such as to cause his body to quiver every moment. The expressions of pity for the veteran have been innumerable, and the great wonder is that he survived so long. He possessed wonderful vitality and will power. Seldom did the soldiers turn out without he accompanied them in a carriage. He took the greatest interest in every demonstration by them, and while the multitude pitied his condition, all were pleased that the unfortunate man took an interest in and enjoyed as much as possible, the gatherings, parades, &c. For more than a week before his death he suffered excruciating agony unless kept constantly under the influence of morphine. He was aged 50 years at the time of his death.
