naath of 4. O. TOmbeA

The rather sudden indispositiOn of Mr..
n. C. Tombes, noticed last week, was such
as 10 shake the confidence of friends in his
recovery. Yet he seemed to rally and bold
the Improvements gained, fIOm dsy TO day
so that hope was revived and the thought
was INDUCED that his dissolution might
not be as near at was al first Apprehended.
On Monday morning last. however. ne had
n second attack which left little hope, and
the friends were gathered in the exPecta-
tion that they were to take leave OF him,
bat from this. too, there seems to have
been partial rally which continued until
afternoon. when he was visited by a third
shock which proved fatal. Mr.. TOmbeS
WAS yet young man, being in his 54th
year. Though physically disabled he
possessed a fine mental development,
which with sOundness of body might have
qualified him for prominent usefulness.
As it was, his indOmitibls will and perse-
verance under his great disability and dis
cnuragenents, rising above his infrmities,
and giving almost constant attention to
business. showed that he was no ordinary
man. lie mad clear, ready and fOrcible
mind which was shown in his powers of
reasoning oral as well as written-as the
readers of the TELEGRAPH have reason to
know. He was sound il judgment and ju-
dicious in council. Beside his qualities of
mind he had many good qualities of heart
-sympathetic and generous, and strong in
his love for his family, which was fully
reciprocated with filial affection and conf
dsnce. II was further shown in his ear
nestness to make due provision for their
comfort, before he should realize in his own
experience the uncertainty Of life. 1t was
this, do doubt that had much to do in
stimulating his business attention and ae-
tivitv. These efforts, were crowned with
success, and when the time Of his depart
ure came, it found him with the rewards
Of his industry and perseverance, around
him, and the chief object of that industry
attained. His departure will leave va
cancy in the business circles Of our village.
and he will be missed by all but more es-
pecially and ksenly, by his family and
friends.
The religious views of Mr.. Tombes had
for some years back been rather unsettled,
and those who occasionally conversed with
him believed him to be spiritualist. His
views then and since have been y subject
of some speculation. Lately he became
more settled in his mind upon the Christ
ian system-sslvation through the atone
ment-to which doctrine he has since ad-
mitted his full belief. Just before his
death, in conversation with the Rev. Mr..
Stafford, and while under the conviction
that he was near his end, as We learn, he
gave expression to the feeling-that it was
all we'll. This sllusion is made with the
object of meeting the interest felt by some
of his acqualntances on the subject.

The Herald's Youngstown correspondent
says: On Friday morning, about o'clock,
the dead body Of a man, with his skull
broken, scalp torn partly off, three fingers
cut off, neck and one leg broken. and 9TH
erwise injured, and with a broken bottle
which had contained whisksy, was found
lying face down, on the track, above the
trestle-work over Crab Greek, of the Ashta-
bula, Youngstown & Pittsburg Railroad.
An inquest was held, when it was sscer-
tanned that his name was David Mcdonald,

with his brother, bought a new pair OF

he had on when found. Then, meeting an
acquaintance, they visited several saloons,
and at one, about z in the evening, bought
a bottle of whisky, from winch all drank,
and deceased took the bottle. They after
ward separated. The acquaintance was
found about II o'clock by a policeman, ly-
ing drunk in the street, and taken to the
lookup, from which he was brought to tes-
tify before the coroner's jury. The broth
er went back during the night as far as
Hazleton by the public road. and the de-
ceased, when last seen by others, was near
the railroad track. and IL is supposed he
was on his way back to Struthers on the
track on which he had walked to the city
when he was killed by the locomotive OF
the passenger train from Pirtsburg which
arrives betefat 7:5O P. NJ, the last train
which passed over the road before he was

character Of the items he labors so hard
and fussily to gather. The wear and tear of
brain over such struggles as he subjects
himself to for even a single week are pain
full to think of, but when We calculate
their duration for a year. it becomes sad
