Obituary,

"The memory of the just is blessed"
Departed this life on the morning OF February
10th, Mrs. SARAH CowDEN, wife of James COwden
and daughter Of Josiah Gornwell, in the 18th
year of her age.
Her disease WAS consumption, and for long,
weary months she was confined to her bed en-
during acute suffering much OF that time but
patient, uncomplaining and even cheerful in the
midst of it all.
She possessed quiet, unobtrnsive disposition,
warm. loving heart and was ever ready to re-
joice with the joyful and sympathize with the
afflicted and sOrrowful. But better than all
else that could be said of her-she was a Chris
tian. The religion of Jesus made her life beau-
tiful. filled her sick room with cheer and gave
her grand triumph in the last hour.
Some days before her release while singing
for her. she tried to unite her voice in the song,
and after We had repeated the verse she so much
loved
'.Pll soon be at home over there
For the end of my journey see;
Many dearto my heart over there,
Are watching and waiting for me''
She exclaimed. with joy in her countenance,
home" and she added. smiling. L fancy that
Jesus with Ma and Charlie, will be at the gate
to bid me welcome"
Her funeral sermon was preached at the Cham
bersburg Church by her pastor, Rev p, Davis
from the words. For none of us liyeth TO him,
self, and no man dieth to himself; for whether
we die we die unto the Lord; whether we live
therefore. or die. we are the Lerds"
In compliance with her request the Home of
the Soul. and We've q Home over There was
sung by the congregation.
She lesves hehind n husband. three little boys
and many near relatives and friends
Our sympathies and the sympathy of the en-
tire community is extended to them May the
saviour whom 'Sada' loved be nigh to com fort
and bind up the bereaved hearts
AS Tor our departed sister. while we grieve at
her loss. we can but feel glad. that her oft re-
peated desire for rest has been granted No
more shall those much dreaded 'chils' creep over
her delicate frame. No more that distressing
cough. those racking pains or scorching fe-
vers; but she has reached that land of which we
sing. w here sickness, sorrow, pain and death
are felt and feared no more"
While we have one friend less ut-on the earth |
we can count one more among the dear ones, !
whose companionship we shall enjoy when we |
too have crossed over

Come Home to Roost.

The following appeared in the 6"1-
letin of January Doth:
The story that the Clerk OF the
House Committee of Ways and
tNlsans had a child named after John
Wilkes Booth has met with the same
fate that the majority of Republican
stories meet. 1t is lie. The Clerk
has a child, and his name is John
Wilkes. but he was so named in
honor OF his fathers brother, who
was named after the great English
Commonor, John Wilkes.
That is, very emphatic, neverthe-
less there is truth in the story.
First, we quote from the Washing.
ton Tribune, the only Democrs
paper published at the seat of
ernment. We copy from its issue
Feb. 11th:
"As friend and defender of Nj
Morrison, and a well-wisher of the
Democratic party whenever it acts
with decency, we join the New York
Tribune in demanding the removal
of this admirer of assassins from the
Clerkship of the principal committee
of the Democratic House. Such
beastly barbarism as this HANDLE
ton has been guilty of should not be
tolerated in a cleaner of spittoons in
bar-room. Occupying representa-
tive position as he does, his retention
would cost the Democratic party half
a million of votes. Just such a
thing as this would turn the National
election. We assure the Chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee
that this matter shall not be allowed
to rest until he takes action in the
case. We have proofs, and shall pre-
sent them, that this Clerk is guilty
of the infamy charged"
But here is the clincher. 1t is
from Mr.. Morrison himself:
WASHINGTON, d. c..
Feb. TO- 1876.
DR.. u. p. HdmJletOn, Clerk Ways
and Means Committee:
SIR: The charge. so often made,
and as often denied by you that you
had named a son after the assassin
of Mr.. Lincoln, l have until now
wholly disbelieved. Recent develop
ments which show your son to have
been named or recognized by the
name of John w. B. Hambleton give
at least semblance of truth to the
charge. With the slightest appear
ance of the truth of such a charge, 1
have but one duty to perform, that is
to accept your resignation, offered
some time ago, which l do hereby.
Respectfully yours,
w. r. MORRISON,
Chairman Committee on Ways and
Means
So Mr.. Hambleton steps down and
out, and the "lie" comes home to
roost.

Ex-SPEAKER BLAINE gave his
views on the financial question, III
Congress, on the 10th. The Cincin.
natl Gazette furnishes the following
digest of the speech:
"The speech, as a whole, is in har-
mony with the Ohio Republican plat
form of last year-that is, opposed tc
imitation and in favor of adopting
measures that will, as soon as prac
ticable, without an unnecessary
shock to business, equalize the pur-
chasing power of the coin and paper
dollar. 1t favors no radical meas
ures of contraction or resumption.
Indeed, upon this point it is as gen
eral as political platform in which the
avoidance of rugged issues is sought
He accepts the resumption Act, as it
stands, as mpracticable. 1t fixes q
date, but gives no adequate process,
and the paramount duty of Congress
is to provide process. What that
process ought to be he does not in
dictate, except that it ought to be in
harmony with the great business in
terests of the country. Mr.. Blaine
is not speedy resumptionist nor an
arbitrary contractiOnist."
