A WEEK OF DEATH.-It has never
fallen to our lot to notice the sudden
and unexpected decease of SO many OF
our widely known and highly esteemed
citizens in the short limit of one week.
On Thursday last, Mrs. Roman, the
widow of the late Hon. Jas. Dixon
Roman, died after short illness, at her
residence in Hagerstown. On the same
night, on the same street, with but two
houses intervening, Hon. George French
was taken i'll with what seemed slight
attack Of cholera-m orbus. On Friday he
seemed relieved and was comparatively
comfortable, but on Saturday afternoon
he grew worse, and on Sunday at 6
o'clock, p. NJ, he breathed his last. He
has for a number of years been afflicted
with kidney disease, which we under
stand resulted in an abscess that caused
his sudden death. AT 8 o'clock A. Nj.
on the same day, Lewis b Nyman of
Boonsboro, died at bis place of resi-
dence in the city of Baltimore, from the
effect of severe carbuncle on the back
of mis- neck, after an illness OF two
weeks.
Lewis B. Nymap. Esq, was native
of Boonsboro, where he spent his whole
life, with the exception of the time he
was Clerk of the Circuit Court of
Washington County, and the time he
has lived in Baltimore as Corresponding
Clerk of the Collector of the Port OF
Baltimore. The ear y lite of MIR. Ny
man was spent as merchant in bis
native place, but at the commencement
of the late civil war he went out OF
business. In 1864 be was elected on
the Republican ticket to the Constitu-
tional Convention, of which he was an
intelligent and careful member. During
the time Mr.. French occupied the posi-
ton of Judge of the Circuit Court for
Washington County, Mr.. Nyman acted
as Clerk of said Court, whose duties he
performed with much ability. Like
Judge French, he too went out of office
under the Constitution of 1867.
When Grant was elected President
and Hon. John L. Thomas was made
Collector of the Port of Baltimore, he
selected Mr.. Nyman as his Correspond
ing Clerk, which position he filled up
to the day Of his death. In all the
changes that took place in Collectors OF
Customs in Baltimore since MIR. Nyman's
appointment, it was never for moment
proposed to change him, so well and
carefully did he discharge the duties OF
that delicate position.
Judge French and Mr.. Nyman were
lifelong personal and political friends,
each having a high opinion of the other.
On the same day and within ten hours
they both died. The county never lost
two men of higher honor and more
sterling character. May their. lives be
initiated by the living, and may their
memories forever rest in peace.
Judge French was about SO years OF
age, and Mr.. Nyman was in the 55th
year of his age.-HogersfoaOn Herald.

An attempt was made last week te
blacken the good name of our staunch
friend, John b. File, Esq, by connect
ing him with the preparation of he.
iuous crime. The facts are as follows
A man by the name of Jerry Noffsin
ger, who resides near Mr.. File, had Mr.
+. arrested on a warrant, charging him
with having poisoned his well, which
resulted in the death of two horses, five
pigs and dog, and several members Of
his family were affected by using the
water. The testimony produced showed
no evidence Of poison, aud in no way
connected Mr. f. with the case. The
evidence proved that the horses died
either from bots or Inflammation Of the
stomach, and it was shown that num-
Der of the neighbors of Noffsinger had
lost their hogs from cholera. The dog
was shot by Nofsiuger, believing that he
had been poisoned from eating some of
the flesh OF one ofthe horses. The fami-
ly OF n offsinger, who had used the same
Nell-water, were in good and hearty
condition. Before the evidence for the
defense was through, the States attor-
ney requested the magistrate to dis
charge MIR. F., as there was no evidence
upon which he could be held over for
the grand jury.
1t is indeed high handed proceed
ing when citizen of Mr.. Fs character,
standing and reputation should be ar
rested and tried upon such a gross
charge, without any evidence to justify
such a suspicion. Of course he is fully
vindicated, but nevertheless he had 10
rest under this charge for ten days. We
congratulate Mr. +. on his full, COM
plete and honorable vindication. Justice
Gardner, with the assistance of Justice
Hollids, tried the case. The State was
represented by L. NJ. Sbaffer and w. H.
Il. Flick; the defense by c. J. Faux
ner, Jr.-Nartinsburg Statesman.
Judge o. NJ. Roberts, who has been
nominated by the democrats for Goven-
or OF Texas, is an old Texan, has repre-
sented the republic in lis Congress, was
president OF the convention that passed
the ordinance Of secession, was elected
United States Senator after the war at
the time Throckmorton was make Gov
enor, and was removed from Office by
tie United States military authorities.

Everlasting the Energies.

1t is not advisable for any us to overtask
our energies, corporal or mental, but in
the eager pursuit of wealth or fame or
knowledge, how many transgress this
salutary rule. 1t must be matter of
great Importance to all who do SO to know
how they can regain the vigor so reek-
lessly expended. The remedy is neither
costly or difficult to obtain. Hostctter's
Stomach Bitters is procurable in every
city, town and settlement in America,
and it cOmpensates for a drain OF bodily
or mental energy more eifectIally than
any invigorant ever prescribed or adver-
tsed. Laboring men, athlets, students.
journalists, lawyers, clergymen, physi-
clans, oil bear testimony to its wondrou us
ly renovating powers. 1t increases the
capabilities for undergoing fatigue, and
counteracts the injurious effects upon the
unhealthy or wearying avocatiOns, or an
insalubrious climote, and is n prime al
tentative, diuretic and blood depurent.

GRANTS OPINION OF LEE.-I never
ranked Lee as high as some others OF
the army" said the General, chat is to
say, never had as much anxiety when
he was in my front as when Joe john
son was in front. He was good man,
a fair commander, who had everything
in his favor. He was man who need
ed Sunshine. He was supported by the
unanimous voice of the South; he was
supported by large party in the North;
he had the support and sympathy OF
the outside world. All this is of an
immense advantage to a general. Lee
had this in a remarkable degree. Every
thing he did was right de was treat
ed like demigod. Our generals had a
hostile press, luke warm friends and a
public opinion outside. The cry was
in the air that the North only won by
brute force; that the generalship and
valor were with the South. This has
gone into history. with so many other
illusions that are historical. Lee was
of slow, conservative, cautious nature,
without Imagination or hunor, always
the same, with grave dignity. never
could see in his achievements what
justifes his reputation. The illusion
that nothing but heavy odds beat him
will not stand the ultimate light OF
history. l know it is not true.
"The South and North were more
nearly matched than YOU would suppose.
The whole population were in the war.
The 100000 Of negroes were the same
as soldiers, because they did the work
in the felds which white men would
have to do. / believe the South had as
many men under arms as the North.
What defeated the Southern armies
was Northern courage and skill, and
this, too, with detraction all around.
You cannot imagine how disheartening
it was at the time, not only to officers
but men,"
