OBITUARY..

In this place, on the oath of April, of
Consumption, JOSEPH KEYS, aged
20 years and months.
This young man grew into manhood
strong, vigorous and healthy, regardless
of death or blissful eternity, and lived
alas I! like too many, but to enjoy lie
without thought of the unseen future.
But the eye of jealous God was upon
him; and in his own good time aroused
him to a sense of his danger by LAYING
the hand of affection upon him. His
sleeping senses were awakened and as
the body fast declined the soul expand
ed, taking hold of the blessed Saviour.
embraced him and held him fast. Day
by day, as bis bodily strength failed
him, his soul grew stronger and strong
er, clinging alone to God, his comfort
his all. What JOY and solace TO the
saddened mother to see her loved one
resting so trustingly on the promise OF
a gloriied redeemer. After a tedious
illness of long weary months he passed
quietly away in the full hope of a glor-
ious immortality. / cannot refrain from
a few words of gratitude TO those Of our
who so kindly and readily
contributed to his spiritual and bodily
comfort. His prayers, mingled with
those of his mother, will attend you.
A FRIEND.

WILL THEN DO ET:

1t is publicly announced that there Is
trouble and lamentation in the louisiana
radical wig-wam. Wells, Packard and
Anderson are unhappy, They have not
vet received the reward said to have
been promised them for their perfdy as
members of the infamous louisiana re-
turning board by certain eminent re-
pulicans. In other words they have
been hoist by their own petard. They
in their turn have been betrayed, and,
il is asserted threaten 10 make a clean
breast of the whole matter Packard
declares that if he was not elected Meth
erwas Mr.. Hayes, and that he will make
that proposition plain. 1t is intimated
that these parties will take opportunity
when Congress meets in extra session,
to make an assault-through their
friends-upon the President. They ex-
pect the impracticables will make things
lively. We hope they may. 1t is well
that the country should know the whole
truth of the returning board business,al-
though no doubt has ever been enter
tanned of its consummate rascality.

PRoFEssIoNAL-In our paper OF to-
day will be found the professional card
of Dr. w. +. Fundenberg, of Cumber-
land, late resident surgeon of the New
York Eye and Ear Infirmary. DIR. +.
has been located in Cumberland for the
last three years, and is the only special
list in this line of business between Baltl-
more and Pittsburg, During his resi-
dence in Cumberland he has successful
ly performed some remarkable opera
tons upon the eye and ear, also the
nose and throat, and he has won the
confidence and esteem of all who have
made his acquaintance. Rev. MIR. Zlm-
norman, pastor of the NJ, Z. Church
South in this place, is. intimately ac-
ouainted with DR.. Fundenberg and re-
quest us to say that he cheertully recon-
mends him to al! who desire his servl-
ces. Mr.. Zimmerman will with pleas
ure give any information regarding DR.;

SO THEY 60.

One by one the roses fall! 1t has al
ready been developed that there has
been an almost incredible amount OF
stealing done by the recent carpet bag
Legislature OF South Carolina. a cou-
pie of members, fading themselves on
the eve of public exposure, have resign
ed, but whether this step will save them
remains to be seen. They will fnd their
proper level in the peniten.iary' and it
will be great shame if they do not get
there. Wade Hampton is busy setting
things to rights down there, and it will
not be long before the whole story OF
the wrongs which that unfortunate State
has suffered at the hands of political
cormorants will 6e brought TO light. 1t
will torn an interesting chapter in the
history of the times, and as illustrative
of the dangers which sometimes menace
republican governments, may be OF ad'
vantage as a warning to our people.

s@ SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL OPERATION

E~ SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL OPERATION.
Mr.. L. Is. Hartzel of this place, who
has been suffering for the past several
wears with Cancer upon his neck,
causing him much pain and anxiety, de-
termining if possible to get rid of it, he
placed himself under the care and treat
ment of DR.. w. 7. Manning OF this
place; and was rewarded by the entire
removal of the Tumor, by the success
ful skill and treatment of the Doctor.
The peculiar situation of this Cancer
Gus Tumor upon the neck, makes it
worthy of more note than we are able to
give. 1t was imbeded in the largest
and most important vessel OF the neck,
therefore rendered the removal of this
malignant growth, one of extreme diff
Guilty, requiring the utmost care, dis
elimination and judgement, as well as
skillfnl operating, to insure an efectnal
aud permanent cure. This we are glad
TO state has been most thoroughly and
successfully accomplished.
There is now no reason that persons
similarly afflicted, should SO to the city
and spend large amounts of money for
the same remedy thai can be had at
home. Here we have the evidence be-
tore our eyes, and know what we speak
Of is true. The Cancer as removed, is
about the size of hulled walnut.
Those who are afflicted with such
diseases, we advise 10 place themselves
under the Doctors care and treatment,
for we are confident they will be mate
,ially benefited.

A CARD.
From The students of Srd Sub-Distrlct
School, comprising the National base
Ball Club.

SClOOI, SOn
Ball Club.
Mr. Zittle-Dear Sir-We noticed ID
your excellent paper of last week, OF a
game of Base Ball being played be-
tween the students, or Wild Cats, OF
the upper district school, taught by MIR.
w. T. Latimer, and the Pie-eaters Of
the lower district, taught by MIR. j.. H.
Triplett, resulting in a defeat OF the
Wild Cats.
Now we do not want to boast OF our
victory, but wish to say, that whilst we
are very fond of good pie, and doubt
whether we could beat the boys OF the
upper district school, at the game OF
eating Pie, we never gave our Club
the name of Pie-eaters, and have emit
tied ourselves the National Base Ball
Club, of the 3rd Sub-District School,
taught by J. II. Triplett, and we are
willing to play against the Club OF any
Public School in this County, and We
desire to say that on last Thursday, 10Th
ult., Mr.. John Hess, our worthy Coun-
tv Superintendent, visited our school,
and spent all the forenoon with us, in
deed little of the afternoon, as we did
not get out until nearly one o'clock,
and it is truly gratifying to US to say
that Mr.. Hess expressed himself well
pleased with our school, both in the ex-
animation and our behaviour.
This speaks well for Mr.. Triplett, our
worthy teacher, and quite change from
past years. We know we can say that
MIR. Trplett is an excellent teacher, and
best disciplinarian by whom we have
ever been taught. On last Friday we
were quite agreeably surprised, by a
treat of candy from our teacher, which
is something new to us. 1t was given
to the school for its good behaviour,
and attention TO study, as well as our
Base Ball victory, as all the school
shared in the treat. And we purpose
on having school picnic on the last
day of school, and expect MIR. Triplett
will give US another treat.
Long may he live TO teach school.

MAR IN TIE EAST.

There has been an important rise in all
classes of Russian securities on the London
stock exchange, and they pIaintain great
hrmness. Notwithstanding large realizing
sales have been thrown on the market,
The general tone of the London press
is to urge the government to seize the pres
ent opportunity for mediation, and while it
yet may not be too late, Sofa must be cap
tured before long, and that accomplished a
rapid advance OF the victorious Russians on
Adrianople,
The report current here that Osman
Pasha's attempt to break out was caused by
the combined Russian and ROumanians as
sault on his position is purely imaginary.
The sOrtie was solely prompted by the entire
failure of his provisions. Osman crossed the
river Vid, attacked and took Fort Dalny
EtrOpelje; the Russians and Roumanians
were hurried up from Sersarla and Bukova !;
after q terrible carnage Osman attempted to
re-enter Plevna, but it had meanwhile been
occupied by ROumGnians and Russians from
Grivitza; Osman finding himself surrounded,
although wounded in the foot, he personally
conducted negotiations for the surrender
He expressly announced that he surrendered
unconditiOnally to the emperor. Simultane-
OusIy with the main sOrties the Turks made a
sOrtie against the ROumanian position on tie
right bank of the NId, but this was feebly
conducted, and the Turks in that quarter
surrendered almost INCREASINGLY. The whole
1uIkIsII dItlISIy tram was CdpLuFeu III Ine
immediate neighbOrhOOd of Plevna. The
Russian and ROumanian armies made a tri-
umphant entry into the town. Special ad-
vices put the number of Turkish prisoners
taken at Plevna at 10000, and the number of
guns captured 400. The ground, which was
the scene of a sOrtie, was literally strewn
with thOUs inds of dead and dying. Osman
Pasha himself veB severely wounded before
would he consent to surrender. His valOr,
which is described as desperate, is every
where the theme of conversation. The suf-
ferings of the Turks in the town were actu-
mated the ranks and reduced the soldiers to
living skeletons; to aggravate their suffer
