Death Of hrs. L. D. Hall, and
probable demise OF fir. Hail.
Our people will learn with great ,or-
row of the death of Mrs. E. D. Hall,
frem that dreadful scourge, yellow fe-
ver' at Ocean Springs. Miss. The
following from Minneapolis paper re-
ceived by Mrs. Brundage, from Mrs
L. NJ. Hawley, brings to us the sad
intelligence of home broken ald de-
stroyed by the monster scourge which
has filled thousands Of graves in the
Mississinp; valley. We shudder to
contemplate the news which may come
at any time, Of the death of L. W.
and Charlie Hall, who nave been car
ing for their dying parents amid an
atmosphere of death, with heroism
worthy the martyrs Of old The dis
patch does not chronicle the death OF
Mr.. Hall, but from its reading we con
lecture that he was beyond recovery,
and must very shortly have passed
away.

main with their father at Ocean
Springs, Miss, and will no doubt be

sote in vessels about and under the

ouiphate Of soda Dissolved in water, aud
pat sulphur into the water we battle
in. So you see We are fighting the
scourge the best we can" Poor folks,

pleasantly situated and happy homes is
broken up. This Is but one instance

Tiae Meeting al Wjttar; Hail
Hon. 7. c. Pound and Hon. 4 W.
Reyes spoke at Writer'S Hall last
Thursday evening to large and very
appreciatlve audience. Mr.. Pound 5
remarks were confined principally to
his record the past two years in Con
gress, in which he showed conclusive
ly that he had beer serving the Sth
District rather than any particular So
Getty, all of which must be conceded
by those who have taken pains to read
the proceedings in Congress since Mr.
Pound teck his seat in the lower house
Mr.. Pound has very much improved
as public speaker. What he had to
say was told in business like way,
with no effort at eratory. His Ian
gnage was the best and his recital OF
facts without boasting or egotism,
He came before our people as their
steward to render an account Of his
stewardship, and that he made a cor
rect and truthful showing, one that is
satisfactory even to his Political enc
mics, cannot be doubted.
Mr.. Reyes spoke for nearly an hour
and half in the style peculiar to Key
es. His speech was good, and to the
advocates of soft money, the fiat the
Dry must have lost much Of its pleas
antness. Reyes IS a gentleman Of III
domitable will and large executive ab-
ility. whose impulses are the law Of his
action. We have heard only words of
commentator of the speech which is
conceded to have been a sound argu-
ment in favor of honest money and the
necessity of having the Sth District
represented in Congress 10y one who,
in these times of falacial financial the
Dries will stand firm in opposition to
everything tending toward tepudia-
ton of the nations obligations The
meeting was a success in every partie-
u!ar.

oar interests demand his return to coh-
summate the work he has 30 success
fully inausuratea. Ills integrity is
beyond question. his ability to perform

cool, dispationate and faA Of thought
Nir. Gaynor followed, dlverging from
the Temperance question, and taking
up the theological question of which

scientific way. Mr.. GaYnor remarks
were listened to attentively. Good
music was furnished by the Congrega-
tional Choir. The meeting broke up

great good in building up a temper

BarDum.-Mr. Barnum of the
Torch spoke at Writer'S Hall last Fri
day evening to fair audience, in re-
ply to Mr.. Pound and Reyes. His
speech was a rar.bl ng dixiointed effort
in which he proved nothing. His
statements were ERRONEOUS, to call
them by no sevcrer term. If Barnum
could rid himself OF cart load or two
of egotism it would be less punish
merit TO listen to his harangues. We
were at Wausau the day he spoke
here, and heard from several that he
had announced that: They have
sent fer me te come down and demol-
ish Pound" &c Sc. all of which is
TOO silly to enantte from one other
than the only Blrnnm of the Torch
Dir. B. made no converts to his pet
theory of fat money.
