slsf a scholar Of more than ordinary ability.
He elaborated in the morning. the idea 81
charity as set forth by Paul, ia his epistle
to the Ephesians. The word love was sub
stituted, as the better translation, which
was pretty we'll exemplifed. His reasoning

close attention. and gave general satisfac-

Capt. Wright of the "Harbor Line
met with a sad accident on Monday even
ing last near midnight. His team run
away, soon after starting for the HarbOr,
and got under full headway before reach
ing the residence of Capt Geo. Ford.
Taking the opposite bank Of the road they
brought up with much force against a tel
egraph pole The pole was nearly broken
off near the ground, and the Captain
thrown under the BLACK Maria with a
leg broken, once at least, and perhaps
twice, above the knee. The bus seems
not To have been very badly wrecked, as it
was an iron structure and capable Of
standing hard usuage The horses were
found by officer ScOviIle, in the morning
near his residence, on the bank of the
creek, uninjured. Capt. Wright was re-
moved to his residence At the Harbor, and
the fracture set and the patient put into as
comfortable condition as circumstances /
would permit There was one passenger
in the bus but he escaped without injury.
-Messrs. J. 4. Fickinger and J. B.
Rice Of Kingsville, aud E. G. Pierce of this
village, left Cleveland on the 2Sth ult. for
Leadville Colorado, and reached their des-
tinstiOn on Saturday the 2d inst. The last
forty miles Of this journey is overcome by
stage travel. The roughness and noun
famous nature of the road induced the
to walk up and down the hills,
and Mr. Rice complained Of weariness in a !
letter written the next day to his wife
Mr.. Fickinger became somewhat unwell,
and on Wednesday telegram from Mr..
Fickinger announced that Mr.. Rice was
sick. On Friday another telegram brought
the information that Rice was dying. On |
third announced his death, and |
on Sunday Mr.. Fiekinger started with the
body for Kingsville. The disease was
pneumonia. His age was -. Mr.. J. B.~l
Rice, is therefore, beyond the reach of le-
gal tribunal. Though his departure was
sudden and unexpected, startling to his
friends, perhaps he could not have been
called away under more favorable eircum-
stances, when his death would have caused |
more sympathy, and his name would have
been more generously cherished Wher-
ever known he enjoyed the highest respect |
Tor true manliness. The misfortune that |
has oEertaken him does not tarnish his
name in the minds Of his fellow citizens
none of whom viii hear word against his
innocence or his integrity. His departure |
therefore occurs when public attention has |
been called to his case, and the warmest |
impulses of friendship have been enlisted |
in his favor Believing as we do that he
was guiltless Of the charge laid at his door
We say without reserve or misgiving-peace |
TO his ashes.
