OBITUARY,

Tribute to Mrs. ELIZA MEEKER who
was BON June 9th, 1881, and died June
18th 1864, at the age of 33 years and
6 days.
In early. life she was dedicated to
God in Holy Baptism, and during the
past six years she was consistent
member of the NJ. L. Church. On
Saturday preceding her departure,
her husband and mother being present
and conscious that her dissolution was
near at hand, inquired of her, what
were her feelings in view of death p
Her countenance frightened up as if a
ray from Heaven beamed upon her,
she replied, 81 am ready to go" then,
calling her dear little brood to her
bedside, gave to each an affectionate
adieu, bidding them to be good chill.
dren, obedent to IT, cir father, kind and
affectionate to each other, and try to
be prepared to meet her in Heaven"
She retained her consciousness to
the last, and her hope continued to the
end to be true and real, and she used
words of meek and patient acquies-
cence to the will of her Heavenly
Father. Bxhausted nature at last gave
way. Early on Sabbath morning her
spirit winged its fight to the climes OF
the blessed, clothed with celestial
grace, and blooming with undying life
and blessedness in the Paradise Of God

The following is the best estimate Of
General GRANTS character which we
have read.
CHARACTER OF GENERAL GRANT.
Grant is brave man, not only fear
less in all necessary exposure Of his
person in battle, but cool, calculating,
and clearly administrative in danger.
A splendid horseman, and Of great
personal endurance, perhaps he is
seen to best advantage on the field Of
battle directing the movements.
lie is y true man; in his aims, and in
his adherence to them; true in speech
and in act. He has no tortuous policy,
no subterrancan movements. He does
not parade his thoughts, indeed, but he
does not mean one thing and say an
other. He has no talking gift, and he
cultivates silence, which, ifspeech be
human, tho philosopher has declared
to be divine. He is no boaster, no
temporizer, no dreamer, he builds no
Arcadian castles. He is simply a
straightforward actor; between his
thoughts, words, and deeds, there is
an exact accordance; and very often
the thought and deeds dispense with
always when possible.
He is man ofstrong will and great
mental endurance, not disheartoned by
disaster; always ready to repair anC
} retrieve it. Vicksburg in especial de-
monstratcd this. Repulsed at thC
north, he tried the cut off, When tina
would not do, he landed on the south
Threatened by tho rebel armies gather
ing in his rear, he besicged the town
Rcpulsed in his attempts to storm th'
works he pushed toward the siege, anC
at length Vicksburg fell, because Gran

On last Saturday night between
eight and nine o'clock fight broke
out in the Boomerang Saloon, on Main
Street, two doors cast of the Tallmadge
House entrance, between the editor Of
the Eagle and citizen of Lancaster.
The battle ragged on both sides for
some five seconds, with q terrific loss
of breath and choice liquors, and re-
suited finally in the complete disper-
sion and rout of the editor. We arri-
we'd on the field after the battle, and
found great number Of 'demoralizcd'
rumors flying in the greatest panic and
confusion, from which we gathered
several statements as to how the bat
tie was brought on. One rumor sta
ted that the editor of the Eagle was
amusing himself by shampooing some
of the faithful with liquor, and that
when the same movement was attemp.
ted upon his own works he opened the
attack. Another stated that the citi
zen aforesaid charged the Editor and
Olds with breaking down tho demo
cratic party in this county (Which, by
the way, is true as gospel,) and tha
thereupon the Knight OF the yellow
Bottle brought on the engagement
The conflict is thing for the boys t.
admire, and its origin is matter 70
the historian to determine. We un
derstand that the editor lays all tn
responsibility of the battle upon tina
much abused but successful comman
der, General Whisky. The publ
will not be disposed to question thi
report, which is official.
