HANNAH Z. DEvELoN, daughter Of VIM. H.,
and Margaret Develon, was born j u1y 27th, 1852,
in Fayette CO., Ohio, and died at her fathers
home January 81, 1876 She never was a strong,
robust child, yet enjoyed ordinary health till
year previous to her death. She was a bright,
hopeful girl, always cheerful and happy, bring
ing sunshine and joy into the home circle. She
was obedient and loving daughter, a consid-
crate and a6ectiOnate sister. She obtained
hope i'll Christ and united with the Presbyterian
church of Washington c. H O., March Esd, 1858,
in the fellowship of which she continued till her
death. About year before her death she began
| to be troubled with a cough and affection of
the lungs, which soon terminated in that fell de-
stroyer-consumption. With this she went slow
ly but surely down At first she seemed troubled
| in spirit and the way seemed dark This state
| Of mind, however, soon gave way to one of great
light and cOmfort-indesd, of joyful tri-
| upmh. She enjoyed religious converse and song
very much, and her favorite hymn was s'AIy
| latest sun is sinking fast" On Saturday even.

her flooded with light, and q heavenly bright
| ness rested on the faces of all present. Like.
| wise on the night before she died: and she said
repeatedly, Everything grows brighter. Very
soon my dear sister and 1 will be walking to-
gsther on the shore of the beautiful river -
When almost gone, she exclaimed, My heart
hurts; but it is nothing to what Jesus suffered
| for me. Dear Jesus take me across the stream ,,
And her last words were ''Dear Savior receive
mep' and the Savior took her to himself. ''And
heard voice from heaven saying unto me
write. blessed are the dead who lie in the Lord ,
Her father and mother and brother are lett to
weep. May that same Jesus sanctiry to them

An adjourned meeting Of the friends
Everybody is its friend) of the Spring
field Jackson and Pomeroy Railway enter
prise will be held at the Court House on
Saturday evening next, to hear reports
and learn the condition and prospects of
the speedy construction of this road. The
stock is very nearly all taken, but little
extra effort is yet needed to secure the re-
mainder. This can undoubtedly be done,
and when it is accomplished it will not
| be many months until the whistle of the
locomotive and the rumbling of the coal
cars on this road will break the monotony
on the line Of road between the starting
point and the terminus. Hurry up the
stock, then.

: Below we nublish what IS known

= Below we publish what is known
as the "Gegham Bill" While the bill
docs not name any particular religious
denomination to be benefited by its
provisions. it was designed for the
especial benefit of the Catholic relig-
| ionists, and il was so claimed by the
particular advoeat es of the bill, and
urged upon the attention of the Leg
islature upon the false grounds that
Catholic prisoners were deprived
spiritual advice and consolation by
the Catholic Clergy.
The doors of prisons or houses of
correction have never been closed
against Catholic clergymen in the
State, that we have ever heard of; and
as We remarked last week, politics is
at the bottom of all this. 1t is not
true-hearted sympathy for Catholics
or anybody else: it is Democratic pol
itics:
A Bill to secure liberty of conscience
in matters of religion to persons
imprisoned or detained by authority
of law.
SECTION 1. Be 1T enacted By the
General Assembly Of the State Of
Ohio, That as liberty of conscience is
not forfeited by reason Of conviction
for crime, or by reason of detention
in any penal, reformatory or eleemo-
synary institutions, or any house of
refuge, work-house, jail, or publ c
asylum in this State, no person in any
such institution shall be compelled to
attend religion worship or instruc-
tions of form which is against the
dictates of his or her conscience and
it shall be the duty of every director,
trustee, superintendent or other per
son having in charge any such institu-
ton to furnish ample and equal facili-
ties to all such persons for receiving
the ministrations of the authorized
clergymen of their own religious de-
nominations or persuasion Provided
such ministration entail either no ex-
pense On the public treasury, or only
an equal amount for all, according to
time consumed and the number Of in
mates accommodated.
SEC. .. This act shall take effect
and be in full force from and after its
passage.

Z
Some time since, Mr.. Wash. Gott, OF this
county, had several stacks of hay set fire
to in his field and burned; last week his
orchard trees were girdled; and on Thurs
day night last, his barn, containing tive
horses, one buggy, one wagon, harness,
grain, hay, ETC., was burned with all its
contents, making loss of $1,000 dollars
or over to Mr.. G. Some time during the
winter shot was fred into one of the
windows Of his residence, barely missing
one Of the inmates in the house. This is
all supposed to be the work of some
scoundrel who holds secret enmity against
Mr. Gott' but whose identity has not yet
been established. Mr.. e. is one Of the
best and most respected citizens of our
county, and enjoys the friendship Of all
his neighbors, so far as known and tbo
people of his 'neighborhood are greatly
Elneensed at the Outrages he has suffered
and would delight in making it hot fer the
perpetrator, if he could be discovered.
