Death of Vice President Wilson.

Henry Wilson, Vice President Of
the United States, died in the city of
Washington, on Monday morning last.
The cause of his death was decided,
by post mortem examination, to be
apoplexy. The news of his death was
a complete surprise to the country at
large, as he was reported out of dan
ger several days ago, and was said to
be rapidly improving in health. He
rose to his eminent position by merit
alone. He was poor boy, worked on
a farm until he was twenty-one years
of age, having, up to that time attend
ed school only about twelve months.
Notwithstanding many obstacles he
acquired a good education, rep
utation as a clear thinker, and one
who could put bis thoughts into words.
First as a campaign speaker, on the
antislavery side, then as a State Leg
islator, afterward elected repeatedly
to the U. S. Senate, finally closing his
career as the second highest officer in
the land. His loss is deeply felt by
good men of both parties. We APP
pend the official notice Of his death:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, Nov. %, 1875.
1t is with profound sorrow that the
President has to announce to the peo-
pie Of the United States the death of
the Vice President, Henry Wilson,
who died in the Capital of the Nation
this morning. The eminent station of
the deceased, his high character, his
long career, in the service of his State
of the Union, his devotion to the
cause Of freedom and the ability which
he brought to the discharge of every
duty, stand conspicuous and are indel-
IDLY impressed i'll the hearts and afec.
tions of the American people. In tes.s
timouy of respect for this distinguish
ed citizen and faithful public servant,
the various Departments of the Gov.
ernment will be closed on the day of
the funeral; aud the Executive Man.
sion and all executive departments in
Washington will be draped with badges
of mourning for thirty days. The
Secretary of War and the Navy will
will issue orders that appropriate mil
itary and naval honors be rendered to
the memory of one whose virtues and
service will long be borne in recollec.
tion by a grateful nation.

We notice several of our most re-
spectacle exchanges advertising for
the agency of j. Weaver & Co., Pitts
burgh. We would advise TIE publish
ers of these papers not to let this
agency get in arrears with them. They
have swindlsl us out of s3824; which
we have the documents TO prove. This
would not have happened had they
not como to us well recommended.
Perhaps wo could recover the amount
by law, but, know it would cost US the
full amount of the bill, or more, to
collect it. So we content ourself by
warning others against trusting this
agency. If any of our brother pub.
fishers wish the proofs, we will take
pleasure in showing them up.

pears the following emphatic Ian
guage.
Cleanliness is said to be next to
godliness. If this be true, how un-
g3dly must few of our patrons be
who send their children to school so
fearfully and wonderfully dirty. The
sanitary department of our school de-
mands, at present, commodious bath
house and frst-class laundry. We
beseech you, therefore, parents, to put
some clean clothes on your children
occasionally, and require them to
comb their hair and perform at least
one ablution daily, until the act be-
comes habit, when they will take
care Of themselves.
