Our Dead.

Our friend, JACOB CHAMBERS, has
kindly furnished us with the follow
ing list of persons who during the
year 1871, passed to "that bourne from
whence no traveller returns" Some
Of them were taken away after Time
had splashed his SHOWS of many win
tiers over their heads, and made them
white with age-some in the prime
of life, and when it was most desira-
BILE to them, and others again ere the
chilling wintry breath of sorrow had
blown I'VE them, or grief had cloud
ed their young hearts. Forty one
deaths make up the mournful list in
Eaton and vicinity:
"Voice after voice hath died away.
Once in my dwelling heard;
Sweet household name by name hath chahr'd
To griefs forbidden word
From dreams of night on each I call,
Each of the.far remOV'd:
And waken to my own wild cry,
Where are We, my BELOVED

Life Insurance.

The New York Life is one of the
most successful insurance Companies
in the country. There is no such thing
as FAIL in a Company managed as that
has been. To any person who may
desire insurance, we commend the n.

your money in a new and untried
company, when old and experienced
ones can be found. -

1t is wholly useless TO write any eulOgium

pecuiarty OF the which has not been closely
Scanned. In the worlds eyes he greater he

Thus in his last couch lies Horace Greeley
sleeping oyermOre, and re needs epiaph more touch

none could waken many memories. To us who are III
the walks OF the profession he has so adorned ana 70
which he has lent such mighty prestige. his loss comes
as a bereavement that is al. We had grown up around
him almost his children, rejoicing In his strength and
glOrying his greatness. ii though each one O
ms had pucked laurel Leaf from his chapet, wearing II
more proudly than those won ourselves. Along with
Bennett and Raymond, gone before him, he had made
modern journalism what IL is and they three held let
ters patent OF its glory and its grandeur And until
world Of news and newspaperdom Is found to
conquer they three must stand at the head and 10 them
all whe after must pay the royalty Of their In
YentOr's right.
Among his mourners.there will be none sadder than
the people Of the South They had found In him sturdy
friend when their need was sOrest and when their hope
was least aud lowest He came 10 them in the
waste when all is given TO hOpelessness and dssOu
ton His a CHEEKY voice of magnanimity and good
will crying out in the strong center OF the cOnquerOrs
camp for mercy and fOrbearance toward the vanquished

A MODEL TO THE YOUTH OF HIS COUNTRY
From TIE Nashville Un,Oa and An>rieaA.

Mr. Greeley has passed into history. His
last days were sddeuei Dy stroke OF domestic grief in
which ne had the sympathy the whole country, one
whose watching and the acute distress II caused doubt
less contributed the event deeply deplOred.
We are 10th to believe that that majestic brain had
passed under eclipse but conjecture that its signs Of
weakness but tue premOulon OF the dissolution so
shortly following Had 1t been otherwise. death was
preferable % its living ruin IL % he hoped that his last
moments were peaceful aud conscious for in the midst
OF the gries when went with HIM To his tomb, there
was one Thought Of earthly matters which could bring
soace. The people or the south whom he had so
long opposed at peace with him, and despite OF
political differences, the eutre people OF the country lie
mad ably served prepared receive his record
in temper OF impartial justice. That record need not
nOw be discussed with freedom. He wrought power
fully and the results IN which lie conspicuous an
an actor have yet tO be measured. Whether their
Guantum OF good OF III will outweigh the future can
aone decide. As high type OF mau-seli reliant resO-
lutc upright, and fearless, dignity fJing labor both by
speech ana eXauple-hc "a cODmendaUle model to the
youtn Of his country; and "a statesman philosopher,
and rcformer deserves noble niche IN the pantheon OF

venture to say that the sum OF his character Is

need of praise for all the virtues that adOrn human me-

has devoted more energy, and certainly no one mas
devoted more talent to the single object OF ameOratng

life may be said TO have been devoted TO that

A GREAT LOSS TO JOURNALISM.


In Mr.. Greeley's sudden and lamentable de-
cease modern journalism loses its most prominent ndl-
yidual product and dcyOtee. Newspapers Will never

passes the last or almost the last representative

Oughly mOdernized , -,
He was. as journalist rather an advocate than the
model or a running commentator. He dld not even
share the essaysts gifts in his ondowmens as public
writer. Current events interested his mind chiefly as
could mp question them and at once take

when he attempted perfect candor he insenslDy verged
strongly upon the dOnatc. His mental restlessness
was incessant, ami it unqucstlonaDDly tbat
