JOSEPH B. INCHES DEATH.-The sad
news of 10. B. Michie's death was received
in this city on Sunday evening last by tele-
gram from Chicago. He lost his life in a
collision of trains on the Chicago & Alton
Railroad, near Lamont % miles south of
Chicago, Saturday night, the 10th, aud his
remains were received in this city on
Wednesday night and buried Thursday
morning. He left this city on Friday morn
ing the 10th for Chicago on private bust
ness, and to look after the repairing Of our
| large steam press, which was damaged in
the late fire. He arrived safe IN Chicago
on Saturday, but went out on the fated
train that night, doubtless TO spend Sunday
with some old railroad friend whom he had
I lust met or heard Of. In bidding his fami-
| ly and friends goodbye just before starting
on the journey which ended so tragically,
he was observed to be In unusually fine
spirits, and seemed delighted with the
prospect Of business success which lay be-
fore him. Friday saw him in health and
hope-Saturday at his Journeys end-night,
and he was dead. While his parting kiss
| is vet warm on the lips of his wife, he re-
| sad, comes with greater shock and blight
when sudden and tragic, and the mind be-
/ ing wholly unprepaFed, is well nigh
wrecked by the blow. Thus it was with
! Door Michie's family in this city, and but
1 for the kindly illustrations of sympathiZ-
/ ing friends, the stricken wife would Scarce
\ ly have recovered from the shock. Her
and her two children have the sympathies
of the entire community in their peculiarly
! sad bereavment.
| 10. b. Niche was about fifty one years
i of age, had been locomotive engineer for
| twenty-i ye years. Was crippled for life
BY run off in 1866 on the Mobile & Ohio
/ Railroad, since which time he has been a
citizen of Jackson. He brought suit in
| this city against the NJ. 6 o. Company for
I .Fas ~ =.
in the Circuit Court, but the case is now in
! Chaneery. He was a man Of good sense,
/ integrity and habits, charitable TO 4 fault,
| kind and affectian2te in his family and was
/ generally known and liked in this commit
nifty. The only legacy he has left his iami-
/ " is the law suit against the Mobile Ohio
/ Railroad, and his wife being delicate and
the children young. are helpless tndC ed.
/ Did we say the only legacy-Oh, no! he has
/ left them name without reproaeh, and a
memory that will be tenderly cherished
| through all the years Of life Nor will the
beFeaVed suffer beyond their strength, for
! God is mereiful as well as just, and is not
| deaf TO the prayers of the widow and the
| orphan. Peace 20 the dead-hope for the
/ living.
