Hon. WIN. P. WOLF, our Representa-
tive elect, left this place on his way to
assume the duties of his office ut WASH
ington on last Thursday, 1st inst. Than
Mr.. Wolf, the Second District has never
had member Of Congress who more
correctly represented it, nor one who
entered upon his duties for the first
time with better idea of the interests
of his constituency, or who will make a
more faithful effort at subscribing them.
Laboring under the disadvantage OF
taking the position only to fill very
limited vacancy, his opportunities for
usefulness will necessarily be circum-
scribed; but the experience and publici-
ty gained will be advantageous when
his merits shall have hereafter called
him to similar scene of action for q
longer period.

Died, near Upton, Cedar County,
Iowa, Oh Friday, Nov. 4th, MIR. JOHN
MCCRosKEY, after a lingering illness Of
few weeks, in the seventy first year
of his age.
He was born in the State of Virginia,
Rockville county, October End, A. q.
1900; moved to the State of Ohio In the
fall of 1928, and under the pastoral care
Of Rev. Moses Russell, united with the
Presbyterian church Of Clifton. In the
year 1856, he removed to the State of
Iowa, and settled in Cedar County. His
connection with the church was trans
fcrreh from Clifton to Upton, Iowa,
where he remained in full connection
until his death. For many years lie
was an exemplary and consistent menu
Der, adjoining his profession by godly
life. When conscious that his life was
drawing to a close he seemed wholly re-
signed to the will of God. He had
learned from the Great Teacher, who
alone can effectually impart spiritual
knowledge, his helplessness and ruin as
sinner. The boundless mercy of God
in Christ Jesus was therefore his great
support. Here as lost sinner was his
only hope. At the cross he found peace
aud pardon, and now in his declining
days the the merits of the dear Redeem.
er, the promises of the gospel Of peace,
and the comfort Of the Holy Spirit sup
ported and cheered his declining life
till che fell asleep in Jesus" The like
precious faith which sustained him will
lend its solace and support 10 those who
mourn his loss.
