The Democrats of Forest county, at
their Convention last week, gave
instructions in favor of
therenomination of Mr.. Wallace for
Senator, and Mr.. Mccullough for As.
sombly. The action of Forest, we
think, renders the holding of either
4 Senatorial or a Representative Con
icr6nce wholly unnecessary, as both
nominations are already made.

ever tended to promote the welfare OF
the city, county and State in which he
lived. While his natural temperament
was ardent and peculiar, tinging to
Some extent his manners and personal
intercourse, q high sense of honor and
inflexible integrity distinguished all his
relations, public and private, in life.
Mr.. Jacob was man of warm feel
iAgs, decided views, of. strong convie-
tions; determined and fearless in the
announcement of his opinions, and in
tue maintainance of whatever he
deemed Just and right in principle and
conduct.
His nature was impetuous, his impulses
generous, mis- heart in the right place.
He will be ever remembered for the sin
cere, frank, and manly elements of char
acter which he so forcibly exhibited,
and which secured the confidence and
esteem of his fellow citizens, however
differing at any time in their views and
opinions. But more than all this, Mr..
Jacob was an humble Christian gen
tleman. Many years ago he made a
public profession of his faith in the
great truths and doctrines of the Chris
tian religion, and connected himself
With the First Presbyterian Church in
this city, at that time under the care Of
the now Venerable DR.. Weed; there lie
continued his connection, and as Elem-
Der and ruling elder, maintained the
consistency of his profession and gave
the weight of his example and Chris
tian character to promote the cause of
morality and religion; he was willing
to labor in the vineyard of Him, whom
he confdingly regarded as Eis Master
and Redeemer, and faithfully worked,
even as Sabbath School teacher, up to
the time of his confinement by his last
illness.
AS frequent and nsefnl member of
the Washington Presbytery, in whose
councils for the welfare of the church
he often mingled, his absence in the
future will be marked and deeply re-
gretted.
He was spared to the allotted period
of human existence, and though he has
passed away, the memory of his useful
life and Christian virtues will not per
ish. His long and painful Affections
were borne with exemplary fortitude
and patience; his mind was calm and
peaceful, as he bore willing testimony
to the sustaining power of the gospel.
In the light of christian faith and
hope, he met with cheerful confidence
the great issnes before him. The kind
ministratiOns of devoted daughter and
atfectionate grand children were unre-
mitted around his suffering couch and
they alone, with large circle of friends
and relatives, can appreciate fully the
extent of the bereavement which they
have experienced.

Communicated
Zachnriah Jacob.

In the decease of this gentleman, this
community has lost one of its oldest
and most respectable inhabitants, q
worthy man, and an eminent and useful
citizen.
The subject of this notice was born
in Allegheny county, in the State OF
Maryland, on the 23d day of January,
1895, and while under five years of age,
removed with his father and family to
Ohio county, in the State of Virginia.
He lived on farm and handled plow
during the year sof, his early manhood,
but being possessed ofa naturally strong
and vigorous mind, he determined to
expend small patrimony which he re-
ceived, in acquiring the elements of
liberal education. Leaving his rural
empleyments, he entered himself stu
dent at Jefferson College, Washington
county, Pennsylvania, at that time
under the Presidency of the
distinguished DR.. Mcmillan. He
desired thereby TO qualify him
self for q sphere of wider usefulness
and activity In life. Having completed
his education, so far as his means would
permit, he made choice Of the legal
profession and prosecuted the study of
law in the Office of Charles Hammond,
ESQ.,, at that time one of the most emf
nent lawyers in the Western country.
On being admitted to the bar he settled
in Wheeling, where he has spent nearly
half century of his life in the diligent
practice of his profession, and in many
official positions of trust aud honor
which he was called to fill, and whose
duties he discharged with credit to
himself and benefit to the community
Having thoroughly discriminating
mind, his legal requirements command
cd the highest respect Of the bar and
bench. A strong, original thinker. he
erasped elementary propositions with
comprehsnsiveness and power, aud de-
veloped his views with logical force
and precision. He possessed in . most
remarkable degree the rare quality oi
good common sense, which, united to q
most Jealous and earnest mode OF pre-
senting and advocating his views and
purposes, whether of o professional oil
public character, generally secured him
a large measure of success and triumph,
Mr.. Jacob represented this county
again and again. at the solicitation Of
the people, in the Legislature of Yir-
glnia, with marked attention and de-
votion to the public interests. He has
been for many years connected in vari-
GUS capacities as Chief Magistrate and
Councilman with all the different inter.
ests Of this city. He ever evinced an
enlarged and expansive public spirit,
and was always ready to help with q
generous hand and wise councils what.
