w- We would call attention to Mr..
Gibbs advertisement in to-day's paper.
Mr.. Gibbs is we'll known in this eommu-
nifty through his connection with the
Transcript, and he needs no recommen-
dation from us. That he has an enviable
reputation abroad is shown by the follow
ing notice:
'If anybody has business to be looked
after, at or in the neighborhood of Pres
colt, Wis, we can safely recommend them
to employ Mr.. Oliber Gibbs, Jr., formerly
one of the editors of the Prescott Trans
-cript, and now Clerk of the Board of
County Commissioners for Pierce County,
Notary Public, &c. He is man of cor
rect and careful business habits; 'honest
as the day is long, and will be sure fire
if any nonresident wants an agent down
there to pay his taxes, or to make out
deeds, bonds, affidayits, take acknowl
.e6sements, administer oaths, and so forth.
We will vouch for Mr. Gibbs doing up
right, any business entrusted to his dill

STANZAS,
Ok THE DEATH OF Mrs. SARAH B. CRANE.

Ok THE DEATH OF Mrs. SARAH B. CRANE
Cold the body-closed the eye
Gone the lips vermillion dye
And the gently swelling breast.
Lieth now in peaceful rest
Pale the fair and girlish face,
Sweetest smiles were wont to grace;
See: the fair hair parted now,
Meekly DER her cold, white brow.
Fold her hands upon her breast,
In the dcath-robe let her rest
Wintry winds that nightly rave,
Will not yex her in the grave.
Death oh Death thy power is great;
Natures forces on thee wait,
And the beautiful and true,
Yield their earthly forms to you.
Yet is Love more strong than Death.
Life dies not with dying breath;
For the dead we will not grieve,
In our living, thy shall live.
Rainbows hang in clouded skies.
Heaven bends low to weeping eyes,
And when looking through thick tears,
Brighter shine the Better Spheres.
Then, beloved, we will not say,
Thou from earth hast pass'd away,
For thy presence still shall dwell,
In the hearts that loved thee well.

Another Police officer Murdered.

In the month of September last Police Officer
Benton was murdered in the Western Section
of Baltimore City, whilst be was taking two
men to the Western Station house, whom he
had arrested for rotous conductat low dance
house. The murder was charged upon man
named Henry GanbriH, who was seen to shoot
Benton BY officer Rigdon who was assisting the
latter. Last week Gambrill was tried and
convicted of murder in the first degree; and as
Officer Rigdon was principal witness against
him, threats were made against him, BY the
friends of Gan1brill. On Friday evening.
few hours after Gambrill had been convicted
qthcer Rigdon proceeded to his home in West
baltimore, few doors west of Pearl street, and
whilst talking with his wife in the sitting room,
Tith an adopted child playing about his feet, he
was fired at through back window with a
borse pistol. The load, consisting Of five slugs,
entered his side, and with the exclamation i
am shot, fell dead at his TiIe's feet.
Officer Johu Cook, being on the opposite side
of the street, heard the report of the pistol,
and imme dately ran across. AS he approached
Rigdon's house, he saw a man run out af au
alley, whom he at pursued, and who
turled and fired several shots at him which the
officer returned but without effect The chase
continued for several squares, when the officer
finally overlook the man, knocked him down
and arrested him. 1t proved to be a man
named Peter Corric, butcher, and when taken
before the Mayer he made full confession of
his participation in the murder He said he
did not shoot Rigdon, but he stood at the corner
of the alley while man named Marion Crops
committed the deed. Crops Wis afterwards
arrested, aud both were committed for trial.
This horrid murder creatsd intense excitement
10 Baltimore, but the prompt arrest Of tic
perpetrators by Mayor Swanu's efisient Police
has eased tie public mind, and extorted ex-
pressons of APPROPRIATION from their worst
foes.
