Dr. W. T. Lusk, of New York, who died suddenly Saturday from a stroke of apoplexy, and whose daughter Mary, upon learning of her father's death became mentally deranged for a short time, left her home, and was lost in the woods back of Nyack, has been occupying the house of Mrs. C. R. Hamilton, at Ramapo, this county. This was the Summer home of the family, and many will be sorry to learn of the afflictions which have come to them.

Miss Mary Lusk, mentioned above, is a warm personal friend of Miss Marie Van Vorst, of Nyack, on Monday she came to Nyack. acted queerly and sent some telegrams which indicated that she meant to commit suicide.

She strayed into the woods back of the Prospect House, where parties looking for her, found her Monday night.
