Death of Judge Tappar1.

We received the following more particu.
lar notice of Judge Tappan, from one who
was well acquitted with him. We insert il
with pleasure:
Benjamin Tappan ,one of the earliest set.
tiers in the State of Ohio. died at his resi-.
dence in SteubenvilIe, on Sunday. the l9tf
of April, 1857, in the s5th year of his age
Mr.. Tappan was native of Massachusetts.
He persued his legal studies at Sufield,
Connecticut, with the father of Gideon
Granger, who was Postmaster General un-
der President Madison, and granfather OF
Francis Grsngers, who occupied the same
place under President Harrison. After, his
admission to the Bar, about the year 1898, he
removed to the Ohio Territory, and com
menced "a clearing" in the woods Of what
is now Portage County, he with the late
David Hudson, and two or three others, be-
ing the first white settlers IN what now COM
prises the Counties of Portage and Summit.
He laid out the town of Ravenna. county
seat of Portage County, and continued to
year 1909, when he removed to Steuben-
vile, where he continued to reside until his
death. He was a member Of the first or Sec
ond Legislature under the State Govern
ment, and occupied a like place several
times afterwards. In the war of 1912 he
with Elisha Whittlesey was in service in
the Northern part of the State, as aid to
MAJOR General Wadsworth, whose division
ef Militia, was called out after Hul's sur
render. He was one of the fret members
of the Board OF Canal Commissioners, un
der whose supervision the State Canals
were constructed. He also served as Presi-
dent Judge Of the Court of Common Pleas
for several years, and in the Senate oe the
United States for six years, from 1893 to
1915.
Judge Tappan was a man of superior tai
ents and large information. He possessed
strong feelings and often INDUCED in bitter
ssrcasms, upon friend and foe, which made
him enemies His habits of life were
temperate and exemplary, and his moral
character without stain. After the expira-
tion OF his term in the Senate of the United
States, he remained in private life, amusing
himself almost exclusively with his books,
and in the study of mineralogy and concho-
logy: he collected and clsssed large and
fine cabinets Of rare specimens in both Of
these departments, which he kept in excel
lent condition. He was twice married, but
died a widower, leaving two sons, who with
their families reside in Steubenville.

A NEw HousE.-By referring to their
card in another column you will see that
our quandom fellow townsmen, Messrs. E..
G. MORGAN and B. R. CowEN, have COM
menced business in BeIldire. We think
they have selected most excellent point
for the prosecution of wholesale business
The Railroad connections at Bellaire anc
the Ohio River make it very superior poinl
for shipping. Bellaire is growing town
and few years will make it point of grea'
importance in Eastern Ohio. We clip the
following notice of this new house from the
Belmont Advertiser:
Be.laire, as every one must know, pos.
sesses facilities for shipping to and from il
superior 10 any other point in Eastern Ohio
or Western Virginia. Already we have
the Central Ohio, the Baltimore and Ohio
and the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroads
and prospect of soon having the Marietta
and Cincinnati Road constructed 10 this
point. Besides this we have the Ohio River
All advantages make Bellaire, as we have
said before, one of the best shipping places
in the West. This must bring wholesale
dealers here to do business. As pioneers
in the wholesale business, we notice Messrs
Morgan g. Cowen, whose advertisement ap
pears in io-day's paper. They are opening
heavy stock of Groceries, and will sell q,
low as any house in this part of the coun.
. try. We feel confident that persons wish
ing to lay in stock of everything in thei
line cannot do better than to call on them

BRIDGEroRr.-We always thought that
Bridgeport was some, but when we visited
there last Friday, wet and rainy as it was,
we found that it was much more of busi-
ness place than it has credit for. Every
thing was life. Every one seemed employ
ed, and every one had plenty to do. We
were surprised by the business appearance
about the Rail Road Depot JUKKINs,
BRANuH g. Co., sro doing s~eoPing busi
ness, and they are just such men as deserv e
to GO so. CULBE RTsoN g. Patterson are
the very best kind of men, and stand ready
to supply ell demands in their line. T. D.
ARKLE. too. is entirely too good man to
slight in any way.
Now if you don't believe all we have been
telling you, just read their advertisements
in another column. We suppose it all SEEM
ed better to us because we got such good
dinner at the Bridgeport House, and they
say you cant get any other kind there.
Saturday morning we stepped aboard the
cars to 60 up to Martinsville. About eighty
Mormons crossed from Wheeling and took
passage here for the West, via leveland.
They were a motley looking crew; men
swearing, women scoldings babies crying,
and dogs yelling, were the principle char
acteristics Of the party. We had but time
to greet some friends when the Conductor
warned US that we were at our journeys end
We are pleased to see this road SO we'll pa.
sronized. The Conductors and Agents are
very accommodating and gentlemanly. The
road is in good condition, and everything
is Just what is wanted. But the cars left
US, and we bus ed ourself stirring round

Martinsville has all the evidences OF a grow
ing, thriving young city. We intend say
ing more of it again. We stopped at Mr..
