Death of the Sculptor Rhinehart.

VIM. II. Rhnehart, the Maryland sculptor,
died in Rome, on "Wednesday the 28th ultimo.
Mr.. Rhinehart had heen i'll for some time past,
and succumbed under an attack Of congestion
of the lungs, aggravated by typhoid symp-
toms. He was born in 1925 in what was
then part of Frederick, but is now Carroll
county, Md. He had no greater educational
advantages than are usually enjoyed 10y country
lads of his station, but in his youth evlnced
the special talent which was to raise him 10
such celebrity in after life In lS47 he went
10 Baltimore, and entered the marble works of
Messrs. BangGman & Beyan. where he rapidly
rose TO the post of ornamental cutter. He al
this time worked directly upon the marble,
marked Improvement n this art. He never
could draw, however, his ideas taking shape
upon the plastic clay, without preliminary de-
lineation, which, is frequently the case with
culptors-Crawford, Gait and Powers, for
instance, displaying the same popularity. His
brilliant promise soon attracted attention, and
he went to Italy to study in 1865, residing in
Florence for period of two years, during
which time he devoted himself to his art with
an enthusiasm that made him its skillful master.
He then returned To this country, but in 1858
again visited Italy, residing in Rome He re-
turned to Maryland again in 1866, but soon
went again to Rome, remaining until the fall
of 1872 when he made another visit to this
country. He returned TO Rome in 1878. where,
with the exception of short period spent in
Switzerland and England, he resided until his
death.

The Dignity of Labor.

Mr.. Editor On the evening of the 25th
ultimo, il was the privilege of the writer to
listen 10 the Rev. j. B. Averitt, who, by spe-
cial request, repeated his lecture upon the
Dignity of Labor" to an appreciate audience,
in the Sandy Spring Lyceum. Many eloquent
voices have spoken in this hail. and upon a
variety of themes-Bishop Whipple, Judge
Bowie, Edgar Snowden, Rev Mr.. Ware, Il.
Yates Reese and other eloquent and learned
men have favored us with discourses long TO
be remembered and this one of Mr.. As. is
worthy to rank with them.
The subject is one that should be brought
home TO us all in the midst of the erroneous
ideas that are too often found insinuating
themselves into the minds of the present gem
Grafton. The whole tone of the lecture tends
to elevate man and the work of his hands; to
call us from the frivolous TO the earnest; to
lure such Gs may have wandered after the false
lights OF city designations and Injuries, to
the homely pleasures and soul-satistying en-
joyments of rural life.
The style and delivery were admirable, and
we separated with the consciousness, not only
of having passed more agreeable evening,
but of being better prepared for the battle OF
life ii.

His view of the plan of salvation was clear
and scriptural; his only hope was in a truci-

took the deepest interest in religious conver-
sation, prayer aud reading the word Of God.
The many and precious promises contained in
The scripture gave him great comfort. He
often expressed himself in view Of death, which
he knew must soon come. having no fear.
His trust was in Christ, who had the power TO

A RAvIsHsR LYNCHED IN PENNSYLVANIA. =
Gibson's, a small mining village in Pennsyl-
vania, was recently the scene of a beastly out
rage viz, the violation OF respectable girl,
Miss Davis, thirteen years of age, by dissi-
pated fellow named Martin Groves, thrty-6ve
years of age. The crime committed on
the margin of woods near the town, while the
girl was proceeding an errand for her
mother. Groves was lying in ambush at the
time and suddenly assaulted his victim
When the story was made known throughout
the village the greatest excitement prevailed.
A crowd of twenty-five men gathered and de-
cided upon seeking out Groves and giving him
summary justice. They proceeded in body
mp the mountain near the town, and captured
him in the woods. They then took him down
into deep depression between the two of the
lofty hills. In that lonely vale, by the light
OF the moon struggling through heavy mist,
the infurialed miners executed the sentence
they pronounced against him, which was that
he should die. His eyes were bandaged and
his hands hound behind him. and then he was
hanged to the limb of a chestnut tree and left
there until he was dead. He was afterwards
buried near the hut where he had lived for
years. The outrage on the Davis girl was not
Groves first crime of that nature. The COM
mission Of three similar outrages was laid at
his door by general belief, which had made
him terror TO all women and children.
