On the LIST instant, near Houcksville, Sarah

9 months and II days. She was buried on
the following Saturday, in Manchester, at the
German Reformed Church, with new born
infant in her arms.
Near Oak Orchard, Frederick county, Jan

aged 70 years, months and days.
In this city, on Saturday last, Mrs. Cathe

Near Warfeldsburg, on Saturday, October
25th, 1873, after severe and lingering Illness
which he bore with christian patience and
resignation, Washington Barnes in the roth
year Of his age. The deceased had been
consistent member ofthe Methodist +. Church
forty-seven years, and to him death had no
terror, but was welcome messenger. In all
the relations of life he discharged his duty
faithfully, but as n husband and father few
equalled and none excelled, and for him to
die was Christ, yet to his family the loss is
deeply felt The wound can never be healed.
And while we listened to the appropriate text
chosen by his pastor, "But thanks be to God
who giyeth MS the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ" it seemed as prototype of
his life, but those who knew him best loved
him most.
So, whence the signals given,
Us from earth to draw away,
Borne on angels wings to heaven,
Glad the summons to obey
May we, ready, may we, ready
Rise and reign in endless day.
Suddenly, on the Sd instant, in Sherman,
Texas, George Robert, aged % years, second
son of Eleanor and the late John Howard, of
Baltimore, and grand son of the late DR..
VIM. Willis, first Clerk of Carroll county.
On Monday morning the sad intelligence
reached us that George X. Howard had met
with fatal accident in Sherman, Texas, where
he has been living for several months. At
the time Of his death he was occupying re-
sponsible and honorable position, on the
Houston and Texas Railroad, and it is sup
posed that during the faithful discharge of his
duties, the sad accident occurred. He was
killed instantly, having been caught and
crushed between two cars. Death comes un.
expectedly at all times, even though we have
watched and listened anxiously night after
night for the dread messenger TO summon q
loved one from our side but when friend is

manhood, our hearts are stunned and stupe.

pations, when least expected, "the golden

of a home is destroyed. A mother weeps for
son, and brothers mourn the loss of q broth
err. He is gone from our midst; the star
which we have watched with such interest in
the sky Of our affections, has set forever, and
no empty words Of mine can bring him back.

On Saturday afternoon there arrived at
Mantua, in West Philadelphia, batch of
wild animals from the region of the Rocky
Mountains, intended as specimens for the
geological Garden, which is being estab-
lished in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia.
The consignment numbers some eighty-six
specimens, which include species of the
elk, deer, the black bear, prairie wolf and
dog, some snakes, the antelope, and a great
many others. There were several buifalos
among the number, but couple of cows
becoming sick shortly after the train
started that brought the animals over the
Pacific Railroad, they were left over at
Salt Lake City. 1t is understood that a
valuable consignment for the Garden is
now en- route from Cape Town, Africa.

THE CosT OF A CoNGREssMAN's
DEATH.-The death of a member is
something of perquisite, custom having
established the usage of maintaining
sort Of professional mourning on the part
of the House, something after the style of
the hired mourners of England and Scot
land. If a member dies at Washington,
the sergeantat-arms may pay the landlord
OF his hotel one hundred dollars for having
granted the privilege of death in his
house. Six stalwart men must then watch,
with two reliefs, by his bed during the
period that the body is in the custody of
tho House. Better for some of the dead
that they had been more closely watched
before they left the legislative halls
Deputies must attend the body to its
destination in the State of the deceased,
unless the friends claim the right of burial
in the Congressional burying- ground. Al
together--and | have definite case in
mind-it costs about two thousand dollars
to bury Congressman decently who dies
in Washington. The funeral expenses
cost little more than the back, pay for
one year. Perhaps the back pay will serve
as funeral expenses for some, without the
benefit of clergy. Gentlemen ch-dogs
of the treasury, anxious to practice econo-
my, would do their constituency aud the
country service by dying at home.
