They diIa.ed on The wisdom, and profound

T'EIe LATE Mrs. Sweat.

We noticed in a late number Of the 'Telegraph
the death Of Mrs. Sweat; and, old friend, can
not omit passing tribute to her memory, and rs il
will be interesting to many of her friends, will
sketch together few incidents of her life: Mrs
Sweat married in Ncwburyp'rt, Mass, on the 9th
day of January, 1877, and joined Parson Dana
Church in leO3 and left New bcrryPor with her
family in 1885, located some time at Mount Pleasant.
Pennsylvania, and finally landed in Marietta, Ohio,
the 10th day of April. 1915, and on the Isl day of
November, 1873, moved into Salem Township, in
Mclgs County, where she spent the remainder Of her
days in the midst of her family, incuCatinC those
many Christian virtues in her family of which she
was so high example. And her great kindness to
her children her thoughts and for their future
welfare, will ever be remembered by them and her
numerous triends, When such persons pass away
their good actions live after them, and long will she
be remembered in her own immediate ncighbOrhood

BE" Elisha T. Sterling came 10 his death
in Cleveland, on Sunday morning, the 9th
inst, under circumstances which render
it probable he was murdered. Mr. Sterling
was an old citizen, and highly respected,
but in the habit of drinking. He was
found on the pavement Sunday morning,
in front of gambling dosgery, with his
skull broken, and dead.
Sherman, the keeper of the place, tes-
ife ! t at Sterling was in his house gam
bling until about daylight on Sunday
morning; that he and Sterling had gambled
all night by themselves; that Sterling wa:
very drunk, and when he left was not able
to walk. Whether he fell and broke hi:
s';ull, or had it broken with bludgeon, i,
the question under investigation. A be
neicent in titltion, is grog-shop.
P.S .S.-Siuce wiring the above, theCor
oner's Jury have returned verdict tha
Sterling was probably murdered.

The PatriarcElill institution.

A negro woman belonging to Mr. NJ J.
Nixon, of Harrison county, says the
Clarksburgh "Register," gave nforma-
tion on Wednesday last, that there was a
combination among the negroes Of the
neighborhood of E;hinnstown, for the pur-
pose Of running off, and defending them
selves in so doing. She states that some
of the negroes about CIarksburg are en-
gagged with them; that they are well sup
piled with fire arms &c. Ten of the ne
groes suspected were arrested on We'd
nesday, and are now in jail the negro wo-
man giving the information is also in Jail.
She further states that these negroes were
supplied with poison, which was distribr-
ted among Them at convention of til m
held at Shinntown, not long since, and thar
their intention was to poison their masters
families. Whether any confidence should
be placed in this report, we do not know,
but the matter will, we presume, be Judi
cially investigated. There were about six.
teen negroes implicated in the affair.
