Death Of Hon. Isaac A. Rice.

The Hon. Isaac \. RIcE, Republican
candidate for Congress, died at the Buford
House in this place, on the 1st inst.
The deceased was a native of Kentucky,
but has recided in Montgomery and Foun-
tain counties for the last twenty years
He has been a practicing attorney for a.
bout fifteen years. He entered his pro-
fession poor and unelucated, but, by his
own effort he made himself good scholar,
a fine writer, and eminent in his profes-
sion.
In 1856, he was elected to the State
Senate from Fountain county, and served
the State in that capacity his regular term
of two session with capacity, honesty and
integrity.
On the 30th of June last he was put in
nomination for Congress by the Republi-
cans of the Eighth Congressional District.
On the 24th of July he commenced his
canvass in Carroll county. and made four
speeches. On Thursday evening the 26th
he returned to elphi with bilious fever
On Monday 30th he was attacked with
congestion, from which he did not entirely
revive. On Tuesday evening many of his
friends. with his children. came from At
tica. Those who beheld the meeting be-
tween Mr. Rice and his children can never
forget it. The room was well filled. but
upon the approach of the children a silence
as profound as death prevailed, and was
only broken by the kisses and sobs of
father and children. The children were
brought to him one at a time, commencing
with the eldest. 1t was when the young
est, his babe. lay upon his bosom. with
arms affectionately around his neck that
his voice raised in prayer to his God for
his motherless and soon to be fatherless
children prayer which only ceased ri
sing when it reached the kindest affections
of merciful Savior. Then it was that
human nature could bear no more-tears
that had flown from every eye were not
sufficient-men cried like children.
As friends. we mourn the death of Mr.
Rice. He was loved by all who knew
him.
AS Republicans we mourn his loss. He
had just entered campaign which promis-
cd every success. But his brilliant pros
poets wee cut down in a moment. No.
not cut flown-only changed. He is elect
ed to Congress whose term will not ex-
pre-; whose acts are ever right. and where
no corruption is.
From his honest and christian life we
are surc that we need not say "poace to
his ashes" The Lori has prepared a
peace for him that men cannot give.-Del-
phi Jour.
