DIED-At the residence of DR.. j. G. WINERY
in this place, on the evening Of the Goth, ult.
LEVI H. Bowman, aged % years and ten days.
Peacefully, calmly he sank to rest
As sinks the sun in the gilded west,
He knew that the parting hour was nigh,
And his soul looked forth from his calm blue eye,
Death grappled not with a fearful slave,
For in hope and trust he was strong and brave.
In hope-that freed from the cumbrous clay
His soul would expand in celestial day,
In t.ust-that the Power that gave him birth
To journey a few years upon this earth
Would provide his soul with sustaining food,
And shape its destiny for its good.
1t was sad to witness the early death
The glazing eye and the gasping breath
1t was sad to gaze on the marble brow
Like a senseless clod of the valley now
Yet so happily, calmly, his spirit took wing,
Death was shorn of its %terrors, disarmed of in
sting.
No sectarian trammels, no musty creeds,
Fer bound his soul or his goodly deeds.
And meekly he bowed to the stern behest
And no fears of the future disturbed his rest.
And we sorrow not at the spirits dawn,
For he is not dead he is only gone.
DIED-At Rootstown Portage county on the
9th, ult., HARVEY NJ. CASE.
We learn from tho Portage Democrat, that Mr..
Case was engaged in c~hopping down a tree, The
top of which had been broken down some twenty
feet above the ground, and lodged in a slanting
position, so that when it was chopped off it fell in
an entirely different direction than that intended
by the choppers, and Mr.. Case in stepping aside
for the tree to fall. stepped in the way of danger.
and was struck upon the left shoulder and crush
ed to the ground. All Of the ribs upon the left
side, and hip, were broken, making the injury so
great that he lived only a few hours after the oo-
.currence.

Economy IN Public Expenditures.
EprroR DEMOCRAT Il am told that pru-
dent European statesmen held it always as u
good and guiding principle to fight against
TOO quick changes in regard to more free in
stjtutions; that the better ones of them ad-
mitted the necessity of a slow progression ;
but. as men, as well as nations, will always
ask and claim more than reasonably can be
accorded, they thought that progress should
90 hand in hand with moral and political ed.
ucation and other circumstances, and they
battled against all new aud not well matured
Ideas and projects.
In the same way, should think, City and
State administrations should fight and battle
against all innovations and new projects some
times having nothing but pure private inter
est as a motive, and they should only admit
those which are necessary and reasonable
The really necessary ones will always in the
aggregate form burden heavy enough for a
new City or State. In leaving something to
do for later times or future generations, they
will act as prudent men, and not crush the
community under too heavy and unnecessary
expenditures. In order to transmit their
names to posterity, we have sometimes seen
Mayors, Aldermen, or other persons in office,
cause heavy expenditures of no necessity
whatever to be made without any profit to
the community, and think good admins
iration should always fight against uncalled
for improvements. For the sake of tax pay
ers and chiefly property holders, let us stop
and reflect The latter, in particular, can't
stand it any longer. Merchants, by an elastic
valution of their stocks, and capitalists, by
concealing their money, can to certain ex-
tent evade taxation on what they really pos
sess; but the unfortunate property holders
stand exposed to the arbitrary valuation of
man seldom fit for such an office, and who
thinks himself the more infallibe as he holds
it by the will of the people, and consequent
ly often by the property holders themselves

the other, we must Immediately do something

Some years ago, an officer in the U. S. army

thoroughfares, he chanced to meet lady
one of the acknowledged "leaders" whom
he instantly recognized as an old acquain-

the house of his friend, where he was soiourn-

Col Simmons joined in the dance, and it was
