Death Of a Hotorious Praachar.

Rev. Ephraim X. Avery died ON the
23d ult, st Pittsfeld, Lorain county,
Ohio. in'the year 1888. the body of a
young girl named Sarah A. Cornell, of
Fall River. Massachusetts,, was found by
the side Of = haystack, in a field remote
from the highway, with Indications OF a
great struggle and atrocieus murder. A
Methodist minister of the place, the above
named Ephraim X. Avery, was suspected
arrested and tried, both in civil and ecle
siastical courts, as the author OF the a.
trocious homicide. Mr.. Avery was very
talented and popular preacher, and the
girl was member of the church. The
ecclesiastical court acquitted him, with
full conviction Of his innocence, and the
civil court failed to make case against
him, and discharged him. But that did
not settle the question of his innocence
in the minds of a great portion of the
people thereabout, and of the whole
country, for the excitement on the sub
ject was as intense in Ohio and other dis.
tant States, as in Massachusetts,. Mr.
Avery resumed his occupation as a
preacher, and labored in several localities,
being settled for several years at Rich
mond, Massachusetts,, and other places
in that neighborhood. Hundreds for q
while went great distances to see and
hear him, but it was eyiden! that cnrios
ity, more than anything else, tended to
swell his audiences; and he could not
outgrow or cutlive the suspicion that ex-
listed against him. SO he finally retired
from the ministry and removed to dis
tant country, to seek the quiet and tree
dom from annoyance which he could not
expect in Massachusetts. For the last
twenty or thirty years Mr.. Avery has led
the life Of an industrious and quiet farm.
er at PittSfeld, Ohio, where he died on
the 23d inst. going to the grave with the
respect and regret Of his neighbors and
acquaintances. His age was seventy
years.-Columbus, Ohio, Journal.
