DEAR WHIG:-We see by your columns
that one after another of your best men are
falling, and we presume few whose loss
will be more regretted than J. J. McCul-
Tough, who, although a citizen of an ad,
joining State, has been one of the foremost
OF your business men for years, as we'll as
mingling much in the couuSels of the
county and State; benevolent, generous and
kind to all having intercourse with him in
business, as well as socially; always in
sympathy with the oppressed or unfortu
nate; whose purse was always open to the
poor. Many will miss his kindness in time
of trouble. His business partners have
sustained an irreparable loss, as well as
his devoted family, all of whom we deeply
sympathlze with.
Our city seems to be on the high road to
prosperity many buildings of substantial
character are being erected. The white
lead works are now in successful operation,
and we will soon have iron and nail works.
also very large grain elevators. Stock
yards of large dimensions are now being
constructed, including beef packing for the
European markets. in addition to the ex
tensive pork packing already in operation.
The crop prospects are immense, and no
abatement of emigration to our State
Who can doubt the future of Nebraska !?
Neither potato bugs or grasshoppers to
make us afraid; not discouraged because
we could not get branch mint; our bust
ness men have hewn out for themselves
cisterns that will hold water, independent
of political intrigue or corruptionists.
Truly yours, OCCASIONAL.

and there he will reside. Topeka Daily.

noble qualities. May | recall an incident
of the war time? His well-known patriot
ism, which allowed him to send his sons to
the field. took the peculiarly graceful turn
of looking personally after the comfort OF
Cecil's soldiers; his visit to Fortress Mon
roe in the Summer of '62 is not forgotten
by many who inhabited the hospitals at
Camp Hambleton. Two of Cecil's COM
panies served in the Fifth Maryland Regi-
ment, which, at Antietam, formed part of
the first line of battle of the famous 2ud
corps Gen. Summer in its assault on Lees
center, at the sunken road on Roulette S
farm.
This assault was made under the imme-

larly noticed by him in his report, and cost
the country over five thousand of its best
soldiers. The Cecil companies behaved
with conspicuous gallantry among their
veteran comrades, and suffered severely

they filed by their chieftan Sumner as,
by the railroad bridge-and foot sore, and
sad, were bivouacked under the brown
heights of Bolivar. "The rapture of the
fight inspired them no longer and they
were as patiently as possible enduring the
unavoidable hardships of war-grim and
cruel.
Mr.. Mccullough did not then have rela-
tive in either company but his generous
heart appreciated their condition, and all
present will remember the enthusiasm of
his welcome one bright Autumn day, his
kindness in relieving their wants and affec
tionate encouragement. A garland upon
his grave, and a blessing on his memory,
Cecil has not produced III century char
acter whose robust yet tender virtues are
more worthy of emulation, and whose i'm
press for good upon his fellows will be more
lasting.
g So when good man dies,
For years beyond our ken,
The light he leaves behind him lies
Upon the paths of men,"

A Minister'S Thanks.

1t is due to those who were interested,
and may be gratifying to others, to read in
your most excellent county paper, that on
the arrival of myself and family to occupy
the Methodist Protestant parsonage, at
Bay View, few week ago, and notwith-
standing rain all day, we were met by some
thirty members and friends, who welcomed
US to our new residence with comfortable
rooms, a richly spread table and variety
Of good things in the pantry for future use.
We are also grateful to the officiary of the
church, and the Ladies Aid Society, for
beautifyipg the interior and exterior of the
parsonage, SO that it is second to none in
the county in attraction and comfort. May
my ministry in your midst be blessed in the
conversion of many souls, and the advance,
ment of the Redcemer's kingdom.

INJURED BY THE CARS.


Quite serious accident happened to a
colored man here, on Wednesday evening.
He was in the employ of Mr.. J. Coudon
and had been to Havre de Grace, and re-
turned on the freight train, due here about
10t O'Clock. 1t seems he, with three or
four others, thought they would ride up
the grade to Mr.. Coudon's crossing and
jump off. The one injured jumped off in
front of a south bound train and was struck
by the engine, shattering his leg from the
knee to the hip. He is not expected to re-
cover, as the physicians say his limb will
have to he amputated. The practice of rid
ing up the grade here has been carried on
for some time, and an accident has not been
unlocked for. The injured mans name is
Steve Purner, and was good, steady
workman.

tinues in rather precarious condition,
with many favorab BILE symptoms.
