L. D. Sine, whose memory is green in
the hearts of hundreds of thousands of
simpletons in the United States and Can
ada, died in Cincinnati, recently. He was
a printer by trade, and went from, Virginia
in 1S49 to Cincinnati, and engaged in the
Gazette office. April 20, 1851, he lost his
eye-sight in the Gazette office in some
what singular manner. The pipe of the
stove heating the Office became choked
with SCOT, and Mr.. Sine put some powder
in the drum of the stove to clean it out.
The powder hung fire, and he opened the
door TO ascertain the cause of the delay,
when it exploded, and the flash blinded
him for life. In August of the same year
he was married to Miss Mary G. Martin,
by whom he had two daughters, who, with
their mother, survive him. After losing
his eyesight he was compelled to abandon
the Cease and he engaged in various
speculations, until he finally engaged in
the lottery business, and the publication of
paper known as the Cincinnati Literary
Journal This brought him wealth, and
eventually death, for he got into trouble
with the postal authorities, and it so
preyed on him that it affected his mind,
and this affection finally terminated his
existence.
