died at Buckhannon, on the 18th inst, oil
Efysipelas. in the SD year of his age
The Observer of the 10th inst. pays the
following tribute to the memory of the
deceased:
cit becomes our sad duty 10 record the
death of most valuable citizen. On
last Monday morning it was announced
that GEORGE w. MILLER, is dead" In
terested and active in everything that
rendered to promote the moral and tenn
poral good of the community. We can
scarcely bring our minds TO realize the
sad truth of this mournful dispensation OF
an All wise Providence. A short time
since. he was with us in all the yigor of
life, now he is silent in the tomb. But it
becomes all to submit to that Providence
whose ways are past finding ont. Of his
many virtues it is unnecessary for us to
speak.
"Soon after the formation of the coun-
ty of Upshur. Mr.. Miller was appointed
Clerk of the Circuit Court of said county,
and under the operation of the new Con-
stitution, he was elected to the same Of
fee, the duties of which he faithfully dis
changed"

day evening. by the Sons of Temperance
with appropriate honors. The church.

tanned loss which time never can re.

~W We call attention to the proceed
ings ofthe Democratic Meeting held on last
Monday. The plan proposed, appears to us
one very feasible, and hope it will be cor
daily carried into effect by the Democrats
of the county.
The Meeting was called for Saturday
last. but the Court was unable to adjourn
in time to allow of its being held, and it
was therefore postponed till Monday.

Mrs. GEoaeE WAsHiseros PARKE Cusrts -
Mrs Mary l.. Randolph Gusts, wife of George
Warrington Parke Gusts. esq, died at the family
residence at Arlington, Virginia, on the Potomac.
opposite Washington city, Saturday, the 23d
nst alter brief illness. Her age nearly seven
ty years, and she leaves but one child-Mrs. Lee.
wife OF Colonel Robert Edward Lee, of the United
States army, (now at West Point, and son of Gene
raj Henry Lee of Virginia, distinguished officer
OF the Revolution, who died in 1872 Colonel Lee
has an Int resting family of seven children.
Mrs. Custis was of the family of Raudolnb q
name conspicuous In the annals of Virginia She
married Mr. Custis in early life, and her associates
were IN the leading circles of the tidewater coup-
ties OF Virginia. Her prominent traits of character
were those of kindness, courtesy, and hospitality
she was inclined to favor the emancipation of
slaves, as opportunities were presented, and her
husoand's views in promoting the objects of the
Colonization Society, it is believed, met with her
cordial appreciation.
The Gusts family are objects of pee uliar interest
to the American people, being the connecting
link with the family of Washington. The onlv
surviving male OF the name Of Gusts we believe
is George w. r. Gusts, esq. Ii will be recollected
that he is the grandson OF Mrs Washington. and
was one OF the family circle at Mount Vernon when
the General died, in December, 1893. Mr. Gusts
was then about eighteen years of age. He has at
tended the inaugurations of all the Presidents Of
the United States, from Washington down to our
times.-Ne,o York Herold

THE REPU B
WASHINGTON.
THURSDAY MORNING. APRIL Is !, 1853.
The Pros. and tho Prs.idsns.

The Press and tho Prssident.
For such acts as merit our disapprobation,
we have in terms emphatic and unmistakable
condemned the administration of President
PIERCE, as every reader of the Republic can
testify. For such as merit our approval-and
they are many-we have as decidedly com
mended that Administration, and pledged to it,
in that connection, our uniform and cordial sup
port. The press throughout the country. SO
far as it has given voice to the national senti.
ment, has approved our course. Our language
has elected the praise OF public journals in all
sections and Of all parties. 1t appears that we
have but anticipated the popular determination;
that the impulses that have prompted us are
in sympathy with those that move the great
heart of the American people; and that al
though President PIERCE has been elevated to
his high position by the voice of party, he
will be sustained in that position, so long as
his actions are just and national, by the voice
of the nation. No faction, worthy even Of
that poor name, will be arrayed against him.
No opposition, for the sake of opposition, will
present its front. No unreasonable and acri-
monious party will degrade itself by pretend
ing to expose errors and abuses that do not
exist. For those things that in the judgment
of his countrymen are wrong he will be con-
demned but for nothing else
We are gratified to know that we have
thought and felt with the masses of our coun-
trymen in this particular, and that they have
commended US for it. But we find, if possible,
still greater pleasure in the assurance so fully
given that we have incurred the censure and
provoked the wrath of those whose narrow
minded sectionalism and craven spirit of fac
ton totally forbid all appreciation of higher
motives than those by which they are them
selves impelled-men whose voice is potential
only in the troublous times of strife and treach.
ery-whose images, like phantoms, are visible
when darkness envelopes the horizon, and a
consciousness of approaching evil pervades the
hearts of men. Delighting in the censures of
such men, as we exult in the imbecility of
their malignant purposes, our readers will not
be surprised to learn that we have perused
with peculiar pleasure, in the columns of the
Albany Evening Journal, paltry and menda-
cious assault upon ourselves, having for its
basis the single allegation that in our own
words, which the Journal has felt constrained
to quote, sit has been our purpose, as it GER
tainly has been our pleasure, to render to him
President PIERcE] the full measure of COM
mendatiou for every sentiment expressed, and
every act performed, to which our judgment
could give Its free assent" We need only
add the repeated assurance that this shall ever
be our rule of action, unless in the melancholy
vicissitudes of time we may in some dark hour
der the Journals praises more acceptable than
its we'll chosen words of foul and rlbald de-
famation.

"We have often heard extraordinary anecdotes

the like; but when the dryness of the subject is
taken into consideration, we cannot remember
any instance more singular than that of Herr Won
Neubiin, the celebrated German scholar, who was
once clerk in the Bank of Copenhagen; in that
capacity he gave proof of the miraculous power OF
his memory, by restoring, from recollection alone,
the whole contents OF leaf in the bank ledger,
which had been lost by fraud or accident
