ED. REPUBLICAN:-T The friends
of the Hon. Geo. W. Wilson are not
altogether satisfied with the sketch
Of his life published in THE REPUB-
LICAN, thinking it incomplete.
There are several incidents connec-
ted with his youth we should have
been glad to have seen published !:
one in particular. that vi i'll give those
not personally acquainted with Mr.
Wilson an insight into the decision
and courage that he exhibited when
a hoy. When about ten years of age
Mr.. Wilson and | were to spend the
night ceiling in the North Branch.
He went on to catch the bait, and
we were to meet at a certain place.
/ went there but he did not come.
On the way to the river he freed
coon, and not wishing to leave it.and
having no means to kill it or bring
his coonship down the tree, he pull
ed off his shirt and wrapping it
around the tree quietly lay down for
the night. When the gnats would
bite too bad he would get up and
bark around the tree. Thus he spent
a dark, rainy night, at the age of 10
wears. In the morning the coon was
gone and he came home hungry and
woe begone, looking to be scolded
by the family for his adventurous dis
position. / forgot to say that | ske-
daddled home as fast as I could as
soon as it grew dark and he did not
meet me.
There are various other adventures
that probably Mr.. Wilson himself
has forgotten that 1 will send you at
some future time.
Yours, truly,
JOHNNY JUMPUP.

IN MEMORIAM.

Again the pale horse and his rider
have entered our Sabbath School and
have borne away one of our number
and we are once more forcibly re-
minded that in the midst of life we
are in death.
While we reflect upon this solemn
dispensation of Divine Providence
which fills our hearts with inexpres-
sible sadness, let us remember that
these memorial services and the
adoption of resolutions expressive of
our sympathy will have been vain
and useless if they fail to excite our
serious reflection and strengthen our
resolutions for future amendment.
Let US be pursuaded then by the un-
certainty of life and the unsubstan-
tial nature of all its pursuits and
postpone no longer that preparation
which it is wisdom to provide and
madness to defer. Let US each EN- :
brace the present propitious moment
and now, while time and gracious
opportunity offer, prepare for the ex
igencies of our latter end, when the
pleasures of this world will be as
poison cups to our lips, and the re-
Elections consequent upon we'll
spent life alone afford us comfort and
consolation. The summer is rapidly
passing away and the harvest will
soon be gathered.
ResolUed, By the Oakland Methodist
Episcopal Sunday School, ThatlI the
death of Sister Emma Bell, our
school has lost faithful and efficient
teacher; as individuals we have lost
true and warm hearted friend as
members of the family circle an af
fectionate, obedient and sympathetic
daughter and sister; the church one
of its most devoted and deeply piouS
mem bers ; the community one of its
brightest ornaments.
ResOlued. That whether we have
heen her co laborers in the Sunday
School, members of the family circle
TO which she belonged, brothers and
sisters in the church or simply neigh
bors and friends, we may safely imi-
tate the Christian virtues which We're
so beautifully exemplified in her
pure and gentle life and we may feel
assured in 80 doing the Lord Jesus
Christ. who was her strength and
support through life and her refuge
in death. will sustain us when we
come down to the dark valley and
shadow Of death.
Resolced, That with the immedi-
ate relatives and friends of our de.
parted sister who are most heart
stricken at the loss we have all sus-
tanned, we deeply. sincerely and
most affectienately sympathize In
their affective bereavement, and we
would remind them that he who
tempers the wind to the shorn lamb
will fold the arms of his love and
protection around these who put
their trust in him.

NORTH BRANCH OF POTOMAC, I
May LIST, 1880.
ED. REPUBLICAN IL beg space
in your valuable paper to say few
words in regard to our school. 1t
closed with one term, for which we
were very sorry but owing to her
late commencement we could not
send scholars enough to justify her
in teaching another term. Miss Lou
Dewitt, our teacher, has proved her.
self very competent teacher and
also lady. The scholars made rapid
progress while going to school. The
last dav of school passed off very
pleasantly, but quietly, with quite
number of visitors, who were all
very sorry to see the school close.
Things along the Branch are in
prosperous condition. The Bloom
ington and Elk Garden railroad will
undoubtedly be built in the near flu
ture. AS work in the way of grading
has already commenced.
Messrs. H. G. Davis & Co. are
pushing their floating operations, as
well as opening their coal mines.
They are paying out a large amount
OF money for labor.

One more deputy,
Got good job,
Fixing bridge,
The county to rob.
Put it up tenderly,
Don't make it strong;
Fashion it slenderly,
Get something wrong.
Look at the abutments,
Ready to tumble,
Where is the taxpayer
To worry and grumble?
Don't speak of it scorntully,
Think of it mournfully,
For you'll have it to pay.
Make no deep scrutiny,
Into the masonry,
Crumbling and soft.
Who was the Contractor
Who filled the Commission
Had they no Carpenter?
Had they no Mason?
Cross the bridge carefully,
Slowly and prayerfully,
Over the breast
OF the raging canal"

From case of long sickness
