IN MEMORIAM.



Whenever death comes into our midst,
it is startling, whether it be sudden or ex-
pected and opens the tendereSt emotions
of the human heart, unlocking the pent-
up blood, flowing like peaceful waters
over the stricken souls, OF carrying de
structive waste to the heavy-burdened
mind. 1t comes to all. sooner OF later;
but, in Gods wisdom. the veil is not
lifted for us to peer into the future, until
that future becomes the present, when
we stand Just outside awaiting the sum-
mons Of the Great High Priest. who bids
us enter. Happy are we. if we have the
password to be admitted to His holy
presence and receive the plaudit Of well
done good and faithful servants.
When the sickle cuts down the youth
in its fresh bloom. we mourn that the
unGevcloped life is culled. not for u.s. but
that the fragrance Of innocence is to
sweetan the bower on high. Could We
know that many such flowers would
wither and change their beauty if left
to grow in earthly beds we would never
repent the early cutting of, but thank
God we have angels i'll heaven rather
than live to yield to the temptations of
the world.
Our sorest trials are. perhaps, when we
must give up our young men and maid
ems, upon whom we have built bright
hopes fer future usefulness and honor,
and upon whom We have prepared to
receive the mantle that old age lays eli.
to carry forward the mission of life till
His kingdom doth come, Let i, be in
the busy mart or in the professional
chamber. these standard bearers must be
strong and do valiant service: and when
the wears spin round. and the strong grow
suddenly weak and fall bv the wav, our
hearts are sad. But to Him. whose
ways are not mans ways. let us give
thanks that, whatever betidc us. lie

RAILROAD Academia most
distressing accident occurred at
Orleans Cross-Roads, West Viz.
ginia, at $40 P. NJ, on July q, by
which Mr.. Frederick Linburg lost
his life. Mrs. Rose Linburg, his
wife, sustained serious injuries, and
Ella Roxroads, a little girl, nine
years old, was so seriously injured
that no hopes of her recovery arc
entertained. 1t was announced
that the Rev. J. T. Hynes was to
preach at MI. Zion NJ. Z. Church,at
this place, and 4 vast conco'lrsc OF
people was moving toward the
church, walking OH the railroad,
When near the church the eastern
bound train was passed by the
we4tcru-bound train, drawn by cn.
CINE No. 100. The injured parties
with IL number ofotherS were walk
| ing on the track Of the western
bound train, and though it was
coming in front Of them, it is sup
,, p0Scd that the din created nv tho
train which was passing them pre-,
vented them from, hearing tku
whistle, which the engineer
of49O sounded. There is IN abrupt
curve Mt this point, which prevented
the parties from seeing the engine
far ahead. 1t dashed into the com
pany, throwing all from tho track,
breaking Mrs. l.inburg''s collar
hone and the collar bone Of the
little girl, and iniicting serious IN
iuries about her head. Mr.. Lin.
burg was killed instantly, having
his breast crushed in, his right leg
broken and serious cuts about the
head. The engine did not stop,
but the congregation and the pas
tor came at once from the church
and rendered all the aid in thciI

TIE Cincinnati Enquirer OF a
recent date contains full crop re-
ports from Ohio and other States,
from which we learn that the wheat
crop is tho largest that has been
harvested for many years, while
the yield of oats and hay, though
not SO large as in some previous
years, makes up in quality what it
lacks in quantity. The corn crop
is coming on satisfactorily, and
bids fair to be more than IN nvcr-
ago yield. Good fortune has favor
ed the tillcrs of tho soil this year
so far, and the prospects abroad Of

from 2 25a$j % per 100 lbs, with
but few at the latter figure, while
Il number Of sales were made at

were fewer tops, there were rather
more and bcttor middles, and
fewer common in proportion to the
whole offerings than last week.
