In Memoriam.

We clothe the Sentinel, this week, in the ha-
biimens Of mourning for the loss of its Goun-
der and proprietor the late MATTHEW FIELDS.
1t has pleased the Great Father Of all, in the
dspcnsaton of His Providence to remove from
our midst, our beloved chief who died sud
denly and unexpectedly at his residence in
this town, at O'Clock on Saturday morning
last, in the seth year Of his age.
The loss Of so useful man in tho commu-
nifty is a calamnity that all must feel bu
none so keenly as his afflicted family, and we
who are thus bereft of the benefit of his grea
experience sound judgment and unbounde(
courtesy and Kindness in ourbusiness relations
No man ever lived among lis of more nna
goodness Of heart none ever attracted to hin
a larger circle Of devoted friends by his deed
of charity and benevolence He was one 0
that rare class of men, whom all could ap
proach aud confde in--liberal in his bushes
Transactions, faithful and honorable in his deal
ings, energetic, and worker in whatever b
undertook
In politics. our deceased friend and brothe
was Wing, until that party was no more
and during his connection with it, he wa
elected to the office of Sheriff and appointed
County Collector, and filed other local offices
When the Know-Nohing party sprang int
existence, with its narrow and proscriptiy
ideas, he did not hesitate to break loose iron
the majority of his old party friends, and JON
the Democratic party in its grand career From
the beginning to the ending of the late cyi
war, he was a decided and enthusiastic sympa
thizer with his Southern brethren, for whicl
he was twice imprisoned, the operations of hi
Office suspended, his health impaired, and hi
business interests greatly injured. His stric
adherence 10 principle his ardent support O
what he believed TO be right, won the esteem
and confidence ofall who knew him. His self
sacrificing devotion to the cause of truth ant
justice, added the respect and warm attach
ment OF all classes OF society.
A faithful and successful journalist, good
and highly useful citizen, an efficient and popu-
lar public officer, a kind and provdent hus-
band aud father has lett us in the person of oul
deceased brother And while we bow with
SUBMISSION to the will Of lin, who suffers no
" the sparrow to fall to the ground without
his nelice, = we can but feel deeply the los.
III one with whom we have been SO long and
SO pleasantly associated. While we shed til,
tears OF regret aud sorrow at his loss, we vii
only nerve ourselves for more earnest and NOR,
efficient work. that we may prove ourselves
more worthy Of one whose arduous labors ant
earnest toll in the Office over which he has pre-
sided for seventeen years has done so mucl
for the public good
His widowed wife and orphaned children
have the sincere coincidence and sympathy Of
the whole community, in the loss they hay,
sustained and we have the fullest confidence ii
the disposition of the public 10 sustain ant
support them in their efforts to continue tn,
business of their late head

IT is with unfeigned sorrow and sadness
:hat we learn of the demise of MATTHEW
FIgtDs, Esq. the editor and proprietor OF tn,
Sentinel, who departed this life, after brief i'll
aess, on Saturday morning last, in the fifty
ninth year of his age. Mr.. Fields had been
Identified with the press of the county for more
than forty years; learning his trade here, in
be Office Of the old % Maryland Journal, " and
forwards becoming the proprietor of the
Sentinel. which, for seventeen years, and W
10 the time of his decease, he conducted with
neXccptionable appreciation.
Few Of his contemporaries had acquired a
frmer hold on the esteem and affection OF theh
and none have left the scene
Of their lahors more deeply and universally
regretted. OF enemies he had none, and al
though an uncompromising and answering
ldvocaie Of political principles, which 10 him
seemed hest calculated TO promote the interests
Of his country and State, it may be well said
Of him, that he ever preserved the most AMIGA.
Die relations with his political adversaries.
Upon his afflicted family, this sad bereave-
nent has fallen with lis heaviest hand; and
IS he lahored so asiduonsly for the best in
forests of his county, it is to be hoped that tn,
same liberality which was extended TO him
whilst living, viii, now that he is no more, ht
continued to his interesting family, in theii
efforts TO conduct the SentiRel, in future, aftel
his example, and to preserve its well earned
reputation as n first class country paper.

"A NARROW EscApE-.A Nice Young
Nan Leaps from Roof to Roof, is Cap
tired dnd--Iahes a Drink.-Last night,
about half-past II O'Clock, Madame Gerot
heard, what she supposed to be, thief
crossing the roof of the building in which
she slept. She Immediately sent to her
husband, who was engaged in the restau-
rant below, and informed him that some
one was endeavoring to rob the house for
she heard them on the roof. Armed with
a navy six, the gallant Frenchman as
cended to the roof, where he discovered
some one crouching close behind the
chimney, with but too little of his person
exposed at which TO fire. Approaching
the hiding object, Monsieur Gerot, cooked
his pistol, the click of which restored the
hiding man TO consciousness, and deter
mined him to ''tess' and acknowledge
who he was, and why he was there.
Don't shoot don't shoot J" soon salts
fled Mr.. Gerot, that he had discovered an
occupant of his roof, who would have been
most anywhere else, or in his 'little bed,"
but for circumstances rather pressing.
The supposed robber surrendered, and
proved to be-a nice young gentleman of
the city, who was in the gambling house,
corner of 9th and Bank streets, over Mr..
fertoret's Saloon, when the Johnnys"
ralded upon the establishment. A slight /
warning induced him 10 escape over roofs,
dangerous abysses, leaping from roof to
roof, until estoppcd by walls too high to
scale Here the fleeing man was caught,
and so narrowly escaped being shot, all for
being moral coward. If gentlemen see
proper TO visit unlawful places ;sswhy they
will cut stick, and scamper like thieves and
robbers, we never could imagine. az
We guess the next time our young friend
visits such places, he will risk arrest before
taking the chances of being shot. The fright
Of our young friend was SO great, as to be
overcome only by glass of pure brandy,
furnished by the eaptor, who
felt glorious after a bloodless victory.
