Petriken, J. M. B. - 1857

Death of Mr. Petriken
We regret to announce the death, at Harrisburg, on the 15th inst., of Mr. J. M. B. Petriken, of Lycoming county, and one of the Representatives of this district in the State Legislature.  He is said to be another victim of the National Hotel poisoning, but the editor of the Telegraph is informed by Mr. Petriken’s physician, that he died from disease of some other nature than poison.

Mr. Petriken was an able representative, and for one so young in years (35) evinced extraordinary talent.  In politics he was a latter-day democrat, and one of the most vigorous advocates of the doctrines which are hastening the ruin of our country.  He may have been sincere in his attachment to those doctrines, but it was more the error of judgement than of the heart.  As a man and a citizen he was much esteemed.

Miss Sally Martin, daughter of the late Dr. Martin, who is worth $70,000 in her own right, and had been brought up by two old maid aunts in seclusion from “the world”, eloped last week from Xenia, Ohio, with a bad fellow named Boyd, with whom she had been acquainted but two or three weeks, by means of stolen interviews.
