The New York Tribune is the lead

as such both in this country and Eu-

in some respects, but take it in all
its departments, it stands unrivaled.
Under the able management of MIR.
Whitelaw Reid, who has been it's ed
itor-in chief since the death of Hor

in some respects has been decidedly
improved. We take pleasure in pub

your good nature, by asking for
room in your valuable paper, yet to
add short sketch of his life.
He was born in Va, 16 miles west
of Harper's Ferry; has been married
81 years, 46 years to his present
wife has been member of the M.
E. church 60 years, a class leader 55
years +; resident of Highland Co.
SO years, of Dodson township 42
years. His old friends will be pleas
ed to hear, no doubt, that he retains
every faculty of mind and body to a
remarkable degree for one of his age,
except his hearing, which is consid-
erably impaired
His mind seems as clear as it ever
wss. He is great reader, and ex-
| pc ct is better acquainted with what
is transpiring in the religious or po-
litical world, than half the men IN
the country. He has been subscri-
Der of the Advocate 30 years, and of
the News ever since it was a paper,
and also to the Cincinnati Gazette.
And 1 expect he don't let an item es-
cape his notice. Yet he finds time
to read his Bible daily, bring up the
cows, slop the pigs, nurse his two
little grand children, (of whom he is
particularly fond) and do a great
many other ''little chores"

your readers to death, and have
nothing to write the next time, I will

Terrible Calamity
OVER 100 LIVES LOST!
AR. r. Train Falls rs Feeti
Men, Women and Children
Burned to Death

A most horrible and appalling dis
sster occurred last Friday evening.
about S o'clock, on the Lake Shore
Railroad, about half mile west oil
Ashtabula, Ohio. A passenger train
going west, containing about It's pas.
sengers, and drawn by two engines,
was crossing an iron bridge over q
creek, when the bridge fell, precipi
tating the whole train except the
forward engine and tender, upon the
frozen stream below, a distance of rs
feet. Many were killed instantly by
the fall, but many others, less fortu
nate, were doomed to suffer a more
horrible death. The wreck instantly
took fire from the stoves, and in q
few minutes the flames destroyed all
who could not make their escape, OF
were not rescued by their fellow pas
sengers, or the people from the ada
cent town, who hastened to the scene
as soon as they were apprised of the
disaster, and did all in their power to
relieve the sufferers. The night was
very cold and stormy, and to add tc
the horrors of the situation, the Ice
was broken through by the concus
sion, and many of the passengers
were drowned. II is supposed that
over 100 were killed, while of the
survivors scarcely one escaped more
or less injury
Among the killed was Mr. Bliss. a
celebrated Revivalist, author OF the
well known hymn, ''Hold the Fort,
Rev. DR.. Washburn, a prominent min
lister of Cleveland, Miss Birchard, Il
cousin of Gov. Hayes, and many 9th.
ers. The remains were in most cases
so far consumed or disfgured as to
he unrecognizable, only about 81
being thus far identified, and of many
not vestige is to be found.
The bridge was single span, 15C
feet long, of the ,}owe patent truss,
had been in daily use II years, and
was considered entirely safe, Sly
heavy engines having passed over it
1t is believed that the rear car must
have been off the track before going
on the bridge, causing it to wrench
and twist the whole structure, and
that the iron was contracted and ren
tiered brittle by the sudden cold, and
thus weakened, gave way under the
extraordinary strain.
A coroner's jury is making thor
ough investigation, which it is to be
hoped may throw some light on the
cause of the terrible calamity.
