; OBITUARY..

Mrs. BARRETT was born 10 Green
County, Pa, A. d. 1874. and died in
Malaga, Ohio, August 8. $780, j. Sister
Barrett has been member of the M. E.
Church for 81 years. She was faithful
in the attendance on all the means oil
grace. and found present at the Prayer
and Class meetings white permitted to
attend church. After she wss too feeble
to 60 from her home, and while there
waiting the call Of the Master, she en-.
joyed that sweet peace and consolation
which none but the true believer is per-
mi,ted to enjoy. She was an example oi
true piety; her religion was such as
showed itself in every day life. She
was often heard 10 give expression Of
the power OF God to save the soul, and
as the end drew nigh she seemed very
anxious, and even wishing, for her time
to come, that she might pass over and
be at rest. Her last words were, "Jesus
is mine"
How blest the righteous when he dies.
When sinks weary soul to rest;
How mildly beam the closing eyes,
How gently heaves the expiring breath.
Life's labor done as sinks the clay
Light from its load the spirit flies,
While heaven and earth combine to say,
How blest the righteous when he dies!

OBITUARY.

DIED.-After an illness Of four dave,
at his residence one mile west Of Came
ron, Adams Township, Monroe County,
Ohio, August 10, 1880, CHRISTIAN HART
LINE, aged 79 years
The deceased was among the first set
tiers ia this valley of Sunfish. He, with
his parents and other members of their
family. emigrated to Monroe County
from York State in the year 1918, and
four years afterward settled and has re-
mained up to his death on the farm upon
which he died, making continuous res
idence of 5S years on the same farm
The deceased was widely and well kno wn
for his hospitality no weary traveller, it
mattered not how tattered his garmen,s
were, ever left his door hungry. Hospi-
tality was one OF the prominent traits OF
his character, and one that seemed to
give him pleasure to attend to, and one
to which his many friends will remember
with great gratitude, kno wing that Christ
has said, "Inasmuch as you have done
1t unto cne Of these, the least OF mine.
you have done it unto me-" Having
had very limited education in his
youthful days, be fully appreciated the
necessity of it, and his voice could be
heard on all necessary occasionsain favor
Of our schools. About 40 years ago he
identified himself with the Christian
Church by being buried with Christ in
baptism,a and was one of the old pioneers
that battled for the-righi.
So they ate passing away, the old sol
diers who have horne the burden and
heat of the day, leaving bright examples
for us, who are younger, to emulate.
Our brother has gone to mansion of rest,
From region of sorrow and pain,
To the glorious land by the Deity blest,
Where he ne'er will suffer again.

"If General Garfield had been dipped in

Democracy is in no way responsible
A Republican committee put on the 6rst

We hope the Republicans will bear in
mind that Garfield said in 1878: "The
man who attempts to get up political
excitement in this country on old sec.
tional issues will find himself without a
party and without support" This is
pretty rough on Garfield.
"THERE does seem to be some Han.

The Arresting of Nichols and
Davis,

NJ. Editorials there appears to be an
representation abroad in regard to my action
in arresting William Nichols and subsequent
ly Chas. w. Davis, Wednesday afternoon.
desire to make the following statement of
facts:
On the afternoon before mentioned man
came to me at the corner of Water and Bridge
streets, and made complaint that person
was on the street above the railroad bridge
insulting and abusing people who passed
along on the sidewalk, and requesting me to
take care of the man. l accordingly went up
the street and found the facts as described.
and the person complained of to be William
Nichols, an old offender, well known to the
police. and a hard customer to deal with
spoke pleasantly to him, told him complaint
had been made against him, and wanted
him to go with me. He was somewhat in
toxicated. but made no resistance until near
Mr.. BARRIERS dye house, when he stopped
and began to show fight and said he would
cut my heart out | Immediately grappled
with him. and finding that he was ugly. pow
ertul and determined to fight, | succeeded in
doubling him over and then struck him with
my billy three blows. and endeavored to put
the irons upon him. which lid not succeed
in doing, however, until assisted by officer
Coombs. At no time did l have Nichols
down on his back. as has been reported.
neither could | have handled him without
using my billy.
Whilst was in the middle Of the tussle
with Nichols. young Barber came out and
demanded that | should let the man alone.
This encouraged Nichols to make the harder
