DEATHS.


In Bloomsbury, Saturday last, February
90, 1858, Mrs. CATuARINE, wife of Joco6
Eycrly, Esq, Prothonotary of Columbia
county, aged 62 years, 6 months, and %
days.
Mrs. Eyerly was a jealous member of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church, adorned her
Christian profession in life, and died in
full hope of hliss!ul immortality, Great
is the oiliiction of her borc0vcd friends for
the decease of one of the heads of the fam
ily-which is always an irreparablc loss
but though they mourn, and deeply
mourn, it is "not without hope" Calmly
her ransomod spirit assembled to the bosom
Of her Saviour and her God =
clark they whisper angels say,
Sister spirit, come away;
Lend lend your wings mount, ny,
grave, where IL thy victory
o death, where is thy sling Z"
In Bloomsbury, on Friday, the Goth
inst, of Consumption, Mrs ELLEN, wife
OF John X. Girton, aged about 40 years.
TO those who were intimately acquain-
ted with the deceased, a word of culogy,
from pen Of mortal, would seem, al
most like a desecration of the christian
character of the deceased. In the dis.
pcnsation of Gods providence, hus.
band and children have lost companion
and friend, that can be supplied by nc
earthly being and the Presbyterian church
a worthy member. Her patient endur-
ance, her godly conversation, her pious
life, have left behind her unmistakablC
evidences of her acceptance with God
and of her passage from scenes of sorrow
to those of joy and eternal happiness.
In Bloomsbury, on Saturday last, HENRY
ALBERT, son of Casper J. Thomos, aget

Called hence by early doom,

Denver--W Walsh w cir.

The trinity Of Administration Sc
poyS, whose names appear above, are
the three men chosen by the Oligar-
cby to act with George w, Deitzler
anil G w. BA5cock as n Board Of
Commissioners in the management
OF the English swindlc election.
That they were thus chosen, is OF it's
self sufficient evidence TO satisfy any
reasonable mind t',at they are bound
hand and foot to Slave Power, We
of Kanzas know more Of them even
than what their appointment syipces.
Denver and Walsh have just recciv-
cd their commissions, the former as
Governor and the latter as Secretary.
Weir is Attorney General; he is the
scoundrel who volunteered his LEGAL
opinion that payment of taxes was a
necessary prerequisite for voting at
the territorial election last October:
the same law governs the vote on
this swindle and there is no Governor
Walker, with a reputation to save
here now. This alone, without ma
ming other acts Of rascality, will be
sufficient to stamp him. Denver is
the smallest Governor in point Of
mental calibre with which we have
been cursed. He hasn't brains enough
TO concoct mischief himself, and little
enough to think himself great man,
and to be used by others mere design
ing. lie is emphatically mean; you
could take q thousand such souls as
he possesses and place them in the
interior Of a mustard seed, and as tho
Vermontcr avowed, "you could new
crgct within hNillng distance Of him"
He is universally dospised by the
people, so much so that oven G. w,
Brown does not think him worthy Of
the adortion that he usually bestows
upon Kanzos Governors. Hugh s.
Walsh is fit factotum; he is Mis-
sissippian petli(ogcr; was formerly
Gov. Walkers clerk and Denver's
private secretary. He is base, and
upscrupulOus, and isin fact more
dangerous man than Denver, for
he possesses more leodiness and tact.
Such is the precious trio, appointed
for tho evident purpose Of thwarting
the wishes Of the people, and prob.
ably to re.enact another candle box
fraud time in Kanzas. ~

whose intellect enabled him to do ef-
iicient service. We believe that bu-
siness pressure was the cause Of the
change. The paper is now conduct
ed by NORMAN ALLEN.
The Crusuder Of Freedom, JAMES

terrible disease known as I" want OF

have the first number Of the Free
Press, publishel by LENHARr "
WELcH, and edited r Sr. CLAIR
GRAHAM. CHARLIE LENHART, the
bravest and boldeSt boy who ever trod
on the prairies, is, we believe, the
senior of the above firm. He is de-
serving of support, both from his un-
firing devotion and service to the
Free State cause, in times when life
was in peril, and for the evident abil-
ity, vim and spice which the Free
Press shows. This first installment
comes like the printer guerilla chief,
and must, if it continues in the same
strain, soon make itself felt. The fol-
lowing extracts from the. Editors first
words will show thespirit of this new
candidate for public favor:
We will publish in fact and in
spirit, as we'll as in name, a Free Press.

Doniphan City if we think it de-
serves putting; puff all merchants in
the City who will remember the print

ride ead-head; puff boarding g-houSe
keepers who can afford to keep house
with out bothering uS about our bill,
and will promise to puff any decent
political party that will promise not
TO make Congrcssmen OF us. We
fear God, hate the Lecompton Con-
Stitution, despiSe all our cotempora.
ries, respect the City government,
don't ask any favors OF tho Town
Company. love ourselves, and will
take Atchison money forsubScription.
We will make war against the Devil,
against the Administration, and any
body that says 200 to us. We
won't tell any lies, won't take clubs
of over one thousand to one address,
and won't join either division of tho
Free State party Git is going to split, J
until we find which is going to be the
