We were favored by Rev. E. Buching-
ham, of this city, with a copy of the
DAILY North Missouri Courier, of May
9th, published at Hannibal in that State,
from which we transcribe the following
obituary of an old citizen of that place,
who recently died in Canton, at the resi-
dence of hisson-in-law, Mr. Buckingham.
OBITUARY.-In the short notice of the
death of B. w. HoRR, Esq, which appear
ed in the Daily Courier, there Were two
or three errors which should be correc-
ted.
This venerable man departed this life
at Canton, o., at the house of his son-in-
law, Rev. E. Buckingham, with whom he
place on thursday, April 28, at the ad-
vanced age of 81 years and Smonths.
Mr. HOrr was a native of Littleton
Mass, made a profession of the christian
faith first in the Congregational church,
Poultney, Vt about 50 years ago, and
maintained this profession with unwaver-
ing constancy to the very last For
about 40 years he served as a ruling Elder
in the Presbyterian church, for most of
this period in the First Church, Hannibal,
in which Office he was ever highly accep-
table to the people of the congregation.
He settled in Hannibal, in the year
1887, and, as a good citizen, he was Tor
over 80 years identified with the growth
of this place, and all its public interests
were near his heart.
In character, Mr.. Horn was a most ad-
mirable man. His noble, manly presence
was only indicative of the largeness of
his soul; and the calm benignity which
shone in his handsome face, bespoke the
goodness of his heart. Such were the
evenness of his temper and gentleness of
his 81 init, that he was seldom betrayed
into hasty actor even a rash word which
subsequent reflection would like to recall.
Along with this, such was the firmness of
his purpose when principle required him
to make a stand, that no tide of sinister
influences could move him. Illustrative
of both these traits-so seldom found in
company-his friends here cannot forget
his admirable course during our late civil
troubles. For years right in the midst of
scenes calculated in the highest degree to
provoke, dismay and alright; he, on the
one hand, was never for a moment thrown
off his guard, on the other, he remained
unfinching in his faith in his country's
cause.
But it was chiefly in his capacity as a
christian man, that the character of Mr..
Horr shone pre-eminent. He was devoted
to his church, at home in all its services,
and earnest in his abiding concern for its
welfare. In his religious spirit he was
eminently catholic, a lover of all good
men, and intense in his hatred of all man
ner of wrong. In looking back over the
long life of this good man, it should be
said in vindication of the high end after
which he aimed, that, although it was his
lot to walk in the humble vale with men
in very moderate circumstances, he yet
certainly accomplished the great mission
of life, and attained to all that makes
mortal mans errand into this present
world Of any Importance whatever.

ment cannot fail TO do a good business,
especially in the hands OF gentlemen as
popular and competent as Messrs. De-

leading articles are very low, and as they
sell for cash only, they viii be sure to do
prosperous business. They have sugar
for instance at ten cents a pound, Young

mp at 70 cents a gallon. All other goods
in proportion. They also pay the highest
