Death of LEROY W. Welsh.

The tidings of the death of Mr.. Leroy
W. Welsh were received with feelings
of sincere regret by many friends of the
family, and others who, from incidental
acquaintance with Mr.. Welsh,had learn
ed to judge of his worth.
Leroy W. Welsh, son of the late Hon.
Isaac Welsh, was born in Washington
township, Belmont county, in March,
1874. After receiving a common school
education, he entered college at Della
ware, Ohio, where lie completed the six
years course, and graduated in the sum-
mer of 1868. The next year he spent at
home. in the study of law, after which
he entered the Cincinnati Law School,
where he completed the prescribed
course, and graduated in the summer of
1871. He entered the office of Treasurer
of the State of Ohio, at the beginning of
the following year, as the chief assistant
of his father, Hon. Isaac Welsh, who
had been elected State Treasurer at the
preceding October election. He contin-
ued in this position till the latter part of
the year 1875, when he was appointed
Treasurer by Gov. Allen, to fill the va
..ancy occasiOned by the death of his
Ir;Iicr At the close of this term he re-
turned home, where he remained until
last spring, when he opened an Office for
the practice of law in Columbus, Ohio.
In this occupation he remained until
compelled by his last illness to return
home, where he remained until the time
of his death, which occurred on Wednes-
day morning, goth inst.
Mr.. Welsh was a young man of fine
intellect and broad culture. Combined
with these, his excellent social qualities
made him one of our best and most es-
teemed citizens. With an unusually
large store of knowledge, gathered by
his own experience and observation, he
was just prepared to enter a career of
great usefulness. Though many will
regret his loss, only those who were in
timately acquainted with him, and have
felt the influence of his genial nature,
and known the extent of his acquire
ments and the wide reach of his
thought, can fully appreciate the extent
of the loss our community has suffered
in his DEATH

OBITUARY.
Hon. Leroy w. Welsh.

Death is in our midst He has strick-
ell down our friend-hiS irrevocable fiat
has gone forth, and here lyeth the in
sensible clayey tenement-all that is
left of the strong man. We knew him
III life and the vigOr of mandhOOd: we
knew him as man and a friend, and
there was none drawer, nobler. or truer
than the Hon. LEROY W. Welsh. As a
just but feeble tribute to his sterling
character, we desire to throw this chap
let at his feet. Stricken down before
the sun of his manhood had we'll risen,
in the forenoon of his day, ere the shad-
ows of the twilight of morn had been
chased away by the bright rays of the
MONDAY sun, the sheen of the bright,
glittering jewels of which his character
was the combination will flash upon the
canvas of retrospection, in the recollec-
tions of his many friends with less lus-
ter, may be, than had they been garnish-
ed by the abrasions of maturer wears, but
none purer than his ever shone upon the
record of lifetime.
With uncovered and bowed head we
stand in the presence Of Death, submits
sive to his mighty will-but though this
dark shadow has crossed our path, and
here lies the PROSTATE form of what was
our friend in life. we know the brave
soul has taken its flight to broader,
brighter, and purer fields-a higher des-
tiny and a glorious triumph. In his
death we have lost a friend, the State
one of its nobleSt of its noble phalanX,
Liberty, brave champiOn-Charity, a
brilliant star-the poor, downtrOdden
and oppressed, a sympathizer and a
friend, and his family a most noble son
and brother. Noble soul, requieScat in
pace. s. H. LEE

UNIONTOWN.

Mr.. Jos. FERGUSON and Miss Armin-
ia Cunard, were united by marriage on
Tuesday, the 10th inst. The marriage
was consummated by Rev.D.C. Knowles
of the NJ. E. Church, Flushing. On that
evening some of Joseph's male friends
called on him. The call was loud one
but at rather late hour, so Mr.. F
thought proper to respond by sticking
his face through the window. This was
only partially satisfactory, and the fol
lowing evening "the boys" called again,
bringing more noise with them. This
call was responded to by Mr.. and Mrs.
Ferguson appearing in person, and re-
ceiving the congratulations and best
wishes of the uninUited guests. Miss
Cunard was universally esteemed
throughout the community where she
was known, and Mr.. Ferguson is in eve
ry way worthy of so good wife.
GEO. CoNLEY, bright little child of
Mr. John Conley, had his right eye seri-
Ously injured by falling upon an iron
bodkin with which he was playing, the
point entering the ball of the eye, near
the pupil. 1t is feared that the sight is
entirely destroyed, although that as yet
cannot be fully determined.
THE judicious selection of good men
as candidates for Office on the county
ticket, has filled the hearts of our Dem
ocratic brethren with agony, and a feel
ing of despondency pervades the entire
camp. Whether they will have the
courage to nominate an opposition tick
ct remains to be seen.
OUR State Senator, David A. Hollings-
worth, don't need any "whooping up;'
his public and private record has done
so already. The nomination is ratified
by every Republican in this locality, and
throughout the Senatorial District. Dem

NAsBY'S Democratic drOuth came to
an end on Saturday. The "windows of
heaven" were opened, and the blessing
descended. First 'licketly'' slashing
rain, then a gentle sizzle-sozZle, then
rice UerSa-then both kinds of rain
mixed. The grasshOppers were drown
ed, the timothy and bluegrass pastures
rejuvenated-the corn crop assured. and
resumption made success. On Mon
day we had rain with the variations" "
Hurrah for John Sherman, Charles Fos-
ter, David A. Hollingsworth, and the en-
tire county ticket.
THE SKIES wept tears of pity over the
little primary meeting of Democratic
factions, held at Campbell's School
House, on Saturday. Nasty was de-
tanned at "Pettusville," and the meeting
didn't harmoniZe to any great extent.
An outline of the late Hlamented Dix
on chalked ON the blackboard, might
have had a wholesome restraining in
fluence on independent thinkers and
speakers. 'Rah for? Hurrah!
On Sabbath night last, certain persons
stoned the dwelling of Mr.. Jas. Price,
breaking a shutter, the molding above
the porticO, also striking a fine panel
door in the house. 1t is supposed that
the aggressors were under the influence
of drink. and a clue is now obtained that
may lead to the arrest of the perpetra-
tors of the outrage. Mr.. Price desires
to give fair warning that he will use eff
forts to discover the guilty party, and
prosecute to the utmost extent if the ne
ceSSary proof is obtained; also for the
full protection of life and property he
will resort to the use of powder and
lead for his own safety, regardless of
consequences. Mr. Price is a man high
ly respected, and the public will fully
sustain him in any action which he may
take in the matter. This is not the first
time that he has been mOlested, and he
has now tired of this method of show
ing malignity. 1t is now high time that
these Saturday night pukes, which have
taken place so frequently in this place
came to an end, and parents whose sons
have INDUCED in them had better see
that while doing so, they do not mOleSt
their neighbors, or their names will be
given to the public, regardless of respect
able connection, (so-called). "a word to
the wise is sufficient" III.

CHARLES DEYOUNG, the senior pro-
prietor of the San Francisco Chronicle,
shot the Rev. Isaac S. Kalloch, the Work
ingman's candidate for Mayor, in the
street in San Francisco, on Saturday in
tiicting dangerous wound. The assault
was provoked by personal attack from
Kalloch in public speech, who spoke of
the DeYoung's as 'two bastard sons of
aprostitute.' There was much public COM
motion and it was with difficulty that
the mob was restrained from committing
violence against person and property.
