SUDDEN DEATH OF PROMINENT CITIZEN.
-On Sunday morning last, the community
was shocked by the intelligence that VIII.
LIAM WADswoRTH, Esq, one of the most
active and prominent citizens of Ravennu,
had been found dead in his bed. He had
been deprived of sleep for several nights by
the sickness Of one of his children, and had
retired early the evening previous, request
ing his wife to arouse lin at midnight that
he might pass the remainder of the night
with the child. Knowing how much hs
must be exhausted, Mrs. Wadsworth did not
call him until O'Clock in the morning, and
as he did not return an answer, she went to
bis bed and found him calmly "sleeping that
sleep which knows no waking" His fsa.
lures indicated that his spirit had passed to
the other world without struggle. A post.
mortem examination was made by Drs.
REED and CRAFTS, and large quantity OF
blood was found in the neighborhood OF the
heart, which is supposed to have caused his
death. His funeral was attended from the
M. E. Church on Tuesday morning last by
q vast concourse OF our citizens, and by Ra.
VIENNA Lodge of |. o. o. F., of which he
was was an honored member.
Mr.. Wordsworth was q native OF Garfield
Mahoning county, and when young man,
came to Ravenna, where he learned the
printing business. For number of years
he worked at the business, and was at one
time the editor of the Ohio Star. For sew.
raj years he was one of the publishers and
editors of the Portage County Democrat -
At one time he filled the office of Treas.
urer Of the Cleveland & Pittsburg Ruilroad
Company; but at the time Of bis death was
engaged in business in the Banking House
OF Robinson, King & Co.
In the various departments of life Mr..
Wadsworth was distinguished for his force
Of character and sterling integrity; and in
his death the community has lost one Of its
most valued and respected members. Peace
to his aches.
A WORTHY WcMAN.-As the express
train on the Cleveland & Pttsburg Railroad,
in charge Of Conductor D. D. Coz, and bound
for Cleveland, was approaching the station
known as Stcubenville Road, on Tuesdny
night Of last week, amid the storm and thick
darkness which prevailed at the time, sig.
nal of danger was observed a short distance
in advance. The brakes were applied and
the train stopped, when it was ascertained
that culyert had given way under the pres.
fure of the sudden rise of water, and was
left In such a condition as to involve an ap-
preaching train in certain destruction. This
fact coming to the knowledge of a noble.
hearted Irish woman living in the neighbor
hood, she hId taken q lantern and other sig.
L.. al hat
disaster should occur if within her power to
prevent it. Happily, she was successful
and as reward for this timely succor. she
was informed by Conductor Coe that when.
ever she desired to travel over The c. g. P.
Rood, his train should be her service, free OF
expense. The passengers ON board also
came forward and exhibited their gratitude
toward this noble female by making up
handsome purse ; with which, and the con.
sciousness of having been the instrument,
under Providence. of preventing great loss
Of life and property, she was sent upon her
way rejoicing.

ton train during the present summer-the

business community in the towns along the
line Of the road as we'll as they could be by
the running of another train.
New GooDs.-Our merchants have been
actively engaged during the past week in
receiving and arranging their new supplies
of goods, and to their respective advertise.
ments we would direct the attention of the
reader.
TREES FOR THE CEMETERY.-The follow.
ing Card from the Trustees of Ravenna
township, will, we think, be sufficient to
convince those who have trees to spare and
can afford TO spend the time in bringing
them TO the Cemetery, that their favors will
be gratefully appreciated. The matter is Of a
character which commends itself to every
right.thinking person, and that lurge mum.
Der OF trees will be presented we have not
q doubt.
