humor with which honest old Hor-

OF the election, are inspiriting and
pleasant to contemplate. In card
announcing his return to his old post
he facetiously says: ::The undersigned
resumes the editorship Of the Tribune
which he relinqnished upon embark

full illness, resulting from over.exer-
ton in performing her domestic du-
ties during the first years of her mar

enabled him to place his family in
easy circumstances. Mrs. Greeley is
spoken Of BY the leading newspapers
in the most eulogistic terms;as having
been a woman, of remarkable charac
ter, affectionate disposition and a
highly cultivated mind. She was
constantly attended during the last
days Of her Illness by her daughter
and and husband band, Mr.. Greeley apparently,
forgetting altogether the excitements
of the political ~esmmign, then so
