MR. JNo. z. o,R0RK DROWNED.

On the 5th Of October, Mr. Jno. H. O. Rork,
aged % years. and son of Mr.. Jas. I. O'Rork
living near this place, was drowned in the OHIO
River whilst endeavoring to save the life of
lady. The facts respecting this sad occurrence
are detailed in the following extract from let
ter of brother Of the deceased to his bercaved
parents:
He had been visiting few days at Uncle
David's, at New Richmond. On the 9Th of
October, he with five others were crossing in a
skiff to Uncle David s-when near the channel
the skiff began sinking-all were going down.
John struck for the shore, which he reached In
safety; but on looking back he saw some were
drowning His first impulse was to rescue
them He plunged into the middle of the riv
er, and Steamboat passing, the pilot urged
him to make every effort, which he did-he
seized hold Of a woman to save her-but she
chung to him In such manner that both went
down. q
Thus persisted the noble boy in attempting
to save the life of another. 1t was not his ma
ture to see others suffer, and not give aid. The
river was dragged next day-Sabbath; but
could not find them. Every effort will be made
my life. Never before have we felt such gloom.
We both had struggled together in the army,
and here in the West amid strangers we had
made every effort to get along, and by upright
ness and good conduct to all, we had gotten
along very well. We helped each other and
chung together as brothers should. We looked
forward to the time when the family would be
together once more-but there will be one va
cant chair Let our grief be soothed by the
hope that John has escaped the hard trials Of
lifetime and that he is in heaven. He was
baptized last June, and became member of
was sincere in all his professions as far as we
could know; he attended Church regularly !;
his ACTIONS were innocent and harmless; he
had not an enemy that we know Of His in
tentions were to come on here in few days"

Some weeks since, we noticed the fact that
Monroe county failed by three votes to carry
the subscription of $20Q,OQ0 to the stock of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. The Mason
county journal says that it is reported that Mr..
Oliver Beirne, a wealthy citizen of Monroe
county, says that if his county shall fail to vote
the subscription that the project shall not fail
on that account, for that he, in that event, will
subscribe the sum of $780, 900 himself
