Speaker Kerr has addressed tho following
letter to Mr.. j. H. Real, of Philadelphia,

the next presidency:
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. %, 1876.
Dear Sir several days ago received
by mail, accompanied with your card, an ar
ticle over your name, published in the Dela>
ware County Democrat of December 80, last.
| perused the article with much interest, and
many of its views command my unqualified
approval, but have only time now to thank
you for your very very kind reference to me
in that article, and say thst it is not my de-
sire, in any degree. whatever. that my name
shall be used in connection with the national
ticket of this year.
The Indiana democracy will present to our
next national convention another OF her sons
as a candidate for the presidency, Governor
Hendricks in whose advocacy for that high
place will stand with them in hearty CO.
operation. My judgment is that our friends
this year cannot do better, if SO well, than to
nominate Gov Hendricks. am with great
respect, very truly yours. NJ. c. KERR.

DEATH OF Mrs HANSON G. MAsL1x.-
The many friends Of this estimable lady in
this county and Jefferson will regret to learn
of her death, which occurred at Mooreficld on
Thursday last, January 9th. Mrs. VI. was
native of this county, from whence she re-
moved with her husband to Moorefield n num-
Der of years ago. The Moorc6eld Examiner
in speaking OF her demise says:
Mrs. MasIin had been confined to her bed
for about thirteen days, and all that medical
skill could devise, or friends accomplish. failed
to save the life of the patient. God in his
own way saw fit to take her to that home
where There shall be no more death, ueithsr
sorrow nor crying; neither shall there be any
more pain, for the former things are passed
away" Mrs, Maslin was universally beloved,
and her death has cast gloom over the en-
tire neighborhnod.--Nu Statesman.
