SAD TIDINGS.

Phoebe is in mourning. One OF her
foremost, most useful and public spirited
citizens lies in the cold embrace OF death.
On Sunday morning as the churches
wero summoning the people to the
worship OF the Creator, the tolling of the
Sre bell announced to our citizens the
death of Earl Hamilton. A thrill. a
shuader at once ran through the COM
muuity like an electric shock. The
sound cruelty Jared the nerves, as the
tollng Of the fire bell mingled dolor-
ousIy with the cheerful notes emitted
from the churches, inviting the people to
assemble together in honor Of Almighty
God The sad intelligence gave ad-
donal gravity to the always solemn
rites OF Divine worship and seemed to
cast perceptible gloom over its cele
bration. In tho town the saloons and
other business houses were Immediately
and generally closed and draped with
badges of mourning. Throughout the
community, there was but one feeling,
deep and unfeigned sorrow at its severe
and terrible loss and sympathy for the
family of the deceased, on being 80 un-
happily deprived of husband, father,
friend and protector. AS we iutimated
in our issue Of Sunday the wound in
hicted on Mr.. Hamilton was much more
serious than it at first was supposed to
be. On Saturday the condition of the
sufferer excited the gravest apprehen-
sions. His physicians Drs. Lee and
h Philson used every exertion that skill,
q experience and attention could suggest
but without success. The unfavorable
symptoms continued to increase and the
Il patient gradually sank until half past
d ten on Sunday morning, when he closed
4 his eyes upon the world. Almost to the
d very last his mind was clear, calm anG
u collected. He had had his will read to
Y him and gave directions, expressed
u wishes and babe farewell to all in
al manner and in spirit that showed tn,
courage, the loving tenderness, tn,
