OBITUARY.

DIED, Of consumption, Feb. "a, 1879,
at the residence Of his mother, 10 miles
southeast Of Cleyeland,-Hr. ". l..
Sandridge, In the 18th year of his age,
The deceased was the son Of Huison
and NJ. A. sandridge-IfOw Mrs. NJ. 4.
DObb,.
Mr.. Sandridge was regarded by all
who knew him rs a mau OF high prin-
ciple. Everything like deception was
detcstablc in his eyes.
For z year aud a half he suffered
with the slow 6lt fatal disease. Look
ing az his feeble wife and three little
boys, no wonder that for sometime he
could hardly reconcile himself TO his
fate. Twelve days before his death lie
made q profession Of faith In Christ as
his Saviour; from that time to the last
he seemed perfectly resigned, and only
wished TO live that he might show how
great things the Lord had done Tor
him. His remains were layed 10 rest
on Feb. 4th, in the Sugar Creek grave
yard by the side on his father and 9th
Ell relatives.
Seldom has il been the writer's lot to
see so many people at a funeral. Moth
ing but a deep respect for the deceased
could have brought so largea crowd to-
gether on such an occasion. May God
especially bless the widow aud orphan
boys.
"Beyond the flight Of time,
Beyond the reach Of death,
There is another blcssct. cline,
Where life Is not a heath,
Nor LIES affection t~yancient fire,
Whose parks ny upward and expire

In the days OF Henry Clay, Daniel
Webster, John c. Calhoun, and Thos.
II. Benton, the people regarded them
as the great lights and wisdom Of
the nation, each having his followers
and respected by all. But now II a
temporary minister Of the gospel who
has no property, pays no tax, and does
not contribute TO tie support OF a cor
poration, should think the responsible
ity of good government anG welfare OF
the people rests solely upon his shout
ders, and should in his wisdom take an
active part In the elections and then II
the result IS unsatisfactory signs his
name to a petition to tear up the whole
concern, ssUle persons are ready to say
that he would DO more good to spend
his time and talent in the discharge
Of his ministerial duties, that lie would
be more respected as a man, and win
more sinners TO God. But sore heads
are always ready to complain. But We
differ with them-especially if the mill
lister has any of his flock at stake-and
the people will not obey his dictations,
we think he has 4 right to abolish the
whole thing and quit his charge.
We also understand that n great min
lsterial- political-head-!ight has been
engaged for several weeks wiring let
tiers TO members OF the legislature,
giving his views on different questions;
and among his many letters was n to
Gov. Marks, telling the gentleman thai
the people here unanimously endorsed
his course as to the State debt. jus,
how much the Parson knows about the
feeling of the people We do not know.
but he ought to be WEI posted, as he
attends to politics more than most any
thing else. Now if there is any such {
preacher in Cleveland, who is more
interested in politics than religion, ano
if said preacher has any property any
where, the best thing he could d'
would be to move TO the State where
that property Is, and give'his. advice t'
that COMMUNICATIONS the people he'll
do not thank him for hiss advice Oh
meddiesOme ways.

Recorder Gaut is pushing matters
with all parties owing fines to
tho corporation. lie is issuing execu-
lions regardless of race, color, or pre-
vious condition Of servitlde. The on
ly trouble he says he finds is that some
parties have been owing fines so long
and that as nothing has been said TO
them about it, they have allowed the
matter to slip their memory. But
when he issues an execution and puts
it in the hands of an officer it isa very
forceable reminder. lie says there. is
enough old fines on the books to run
the city government this year if he can
collect them all. Let him stir up the
monkeys while the mill grinds.

A lady had her husband to stop the
HERALD about a month ago because she
had seen something in its columns
about one of her friends that she did
not approve of, The husband called
at the Office and gave "hard times" as
his excuse. Now you see she made
him tell a story in order to stop his
paper, consequently there is a sin she
must answer for. Wives, look out!
Don't make your husbands sin; for
the poor creatures have enough to bear
anyhow.

Morristown Gazette: Great numbers
of fish were killed in the Holston river
by the recent cold weather. More ice
formed in that river than was ever
known before, and when it broke up
and noated off the water was rising
with great rapidity. The fish were
entirely numb and half frozen, so they
loated with the turbulent water and
were thrown out on the banks in large
numbers, or ground to death by the
rushing blocks Of ice. The same thing
occurred in the Clinch.

contractor, has just arrived from Como,

Cinnamon engaged in getting out coal. He
says that the Italians became incensed at
the employment OF the Celestials, and at
tacking them with guns and pistols hustled
them out Of camp.
Mr.. Thayer, who has only one arm, was
asked to discharge the Cinnamon, but he
declined; whereupon the Italians attacked
him furiously, knocked him down, clubbed
their weapons and beat him all over,
jumped upon him with their feet and
ground their heels into his face. and one
man placed pistol against the top of his
head and pulled the trigger
Fortunately, at that moment, some one
belted him in the face, knocking his head
to one side, and the ball merely made a
scalp wound, He was finally rescued, but
the Coolies had to travel, after which the
Italians struck for 80 90 a dav.
