the most romantic features OF social lue on

done to restore to health the deceased.

with death

"Dut some Angel passing Ger life's

Very deeply do we symplthize with the
bereaved and afflicted parents, who, during
the earlier stages of the illness of their
'dear boy" INDUCED hopes of his speedy
recovery.
The funeral services were performed
on Monday morning, by the Rev. II. J
Meek, after which the friends proceeded
with the lifeless body to New Paris, Ohio

relatives, where it was suitably inferred.

The "W. d B" correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Commercial ought to
be the Washington correspondent OF
the New York Herald. No maS with

of manufacturing political news better
than he does. Here is a specimen in
Saturdays paper
1t is stated that the frienls Of Hon.
Caleb b. Smith are not willing he
should contend for the seat now occn
pied by Hon. G.. n. Fitch-proviaed
Hon. O. Z. Morton will consent to
withdraw in favor of Col. Lane, tue
succcssorship to Bright's place to lie
guaranteed by the Republicans to
Judge Merton. The arguments used
by the Republicans in favor Of this ar
rangemcnt are decidedly more compli-
mentary than satisfactory to Judge
Mcrton's flienls. The Lane and
Smith men say that there are many
orruptions in the Democratic lmin-
istration of the State which require to
be exposed, and that Morton is the
man to he Governor under such cir
cumstances. 1t will be observed that
they don't say turkey" once to Smith
who Is now stumping Illinois. in

are tolerably certain that he has the
