Died, at Belleville, Illinois, July 27.
1873, Nellie NJ. Cooley, wife of George B,
Cooley. Inferred at Greenfield, Indiana.
her old home, July 20, 1873.
We make the following extract from
the Greenfield ([nd.) Democrat:
''The sudden death of Mrs. Nellie M,
Cooley, at Belleville, Ills, falls like a
blow on this community. Her home was
here for many years, and by her bright
intellectual worth and wOmanly endOw-
ments, she won to her esteem the endur-
ing love and friendship of all whom she
came in contact. During a slight indis-
position she had been visiting her rela-
tives and friends here, and had left us
apparently in much better health; but
the sudden change of weather and fatigue
attending her long journey homeward
brought on the change resulting in her
death. In the malady, chronic pneumonia,
which she had long suffered, an adhesion
had formed, causing the rupture of one OF
the larSer'blOOd vessels, death resulting
in few minutes. Together with the
community at large, we extend to the be.
reaved husband and stricken relatives ouI
warmest sympathy and coincidence
Mrs. Cooley was the youngest daughter
of Samuel and Rhoda Millikan, formerI,
of this place, and well known to our citi
zens, where she has many relatives and
friends, who will mourn her loss.

A Card from Rev. w. A. MeFridtGh.
WASHINGTON c. H., Aug. 6, rs.
EDS. HERALD:
In reply to those most shameful absurd
tiles, which appeared in the HERALD of
last week, written by w. c. Holiday,
make the following inquiries:
OF what was Mr.. Holiday in search,
when he was passing through the differ
ent stands?
Was it for the Bible, or was it for some
thing we did not have?
Why was he not in company with those
who were trying to serve God Pas we
are commanded to flee from the appear
ance of evil-and, if he considered 1t all
bad, why did he not go home before he
saw so much?
Was it for an opportunity to get his
name in the paper, that those falsehoods
were published?
1t must have been for that, and that
alone, for never heard of the gentle
man before; but the gentleman should
have waited until he could get catalogue
of truth under which to insert his name

A SUCCESSFUL RaIIoon AscenslOn

Prof. James K. Allen, of R. l., called
on us on Monday last, and gave a brief
account of his balloon ascension on Sat
urday last. At4 O'Clock p. m. on Satur-
day last, Prof. Allen made an ascension in
his balloon from the Soldiers Home, near
Dayton, taking with him Mr.. Baker, a
one armed man, of the Home. The bal
loon soard up above the clouds in a beau
tiful style, taking an easterly direction
from the Home, passing over Dayton and
after five mile aerial ride, Mr.. Baker
concluded to step down and out, when
Prof. A. lowered his vehicle and landed
Mr.. Baker in the middle of a corn field, to
paddle his way out as best he could, the
Professor of course feeling good deal of
anxiety for the safety of his comrade,
whom he left in the wilderness of green
corn.
After leaving his passenger Prof. Allen
was soon above the clouds again, taking
an eastward course, until 6 o'clock and
40 minutes, he concluded to stop over and
spend the Sabbath and accordingly caused
halt at the farm of Mr.. l.. Yates, now Oc.
cupied by j. r. Blue, few miles north
of this place, all safe, at a distance of 81
miles from his starting point. This is the
3Sth successful balloon voyage Prof. AlleT
has made. A number of our citizens saw
the descending balloon from this place.
