Death of Mrs Ellen scblev-Tbe

Death OF Mrs. Ellen SChIey.-The
news of the sudden death of Mrs. Ellen
Schley, wife ofCol Jas. NJ. Schley, which oc-
CURED at her residence in Cumberland, on
the evening of the goth instant, was re-
ceived in our community with feelings of
profound sorrow and sympathy.
an the midst of life we are in death"
seems to have been fully realized in the
death of this estimable lady, for it came
without moments warning 1t came too
under circumstances of a peculiarly sad and
distressing nature. Col. Schley, who had
recently been honored with the confidence
and esteem of his party by comforting upon
him the nomination for Congress, was alb
sent at the time upon matters relative to his
campaign, and returned to find his home,
which he had left but few days previous
radient with joy and hope, shrouded with
the gloom Of death
Mrs. Schley was lady Of fine intellectual
requirements, of noble traits of character
and christian virtues, and the society in
which she has lived so long and to whose
pleasures and wants she contributed so large
ly will deeply morn her loss and feel the
void which her death has caused.
The Cumberland Netcs, of the 21st inst,
in speaking of the death of this lady, says:
"Never has the community had greater
shock than the announcement last evening
Of the sudden demise of Mrs. Ellen Schley,
wife of Col. James NJ Schley, which melan-
choly event took place at her residence on
Washington street, at about half-past seven
o'clock. Mrs. Schley had been visiting
neighbor, and had left for her home about
a quarter past seven o'clock, in apparently
good health and her usual chcerfulness.-
Shortly after reaching her house she re-
marked to Miss Rose Devecmon, who was
her guest, that she was feeling very unwell,
and went up stairs. Miss Devecmon fol-
lowed her, and found her seated on II chair
in her room, violently i'll and gasping for
breath. An alarm was given and Dr. Carr,
the family physician, sent for, but before he
reached the spot-about twenty minutes af-
ter-Mrs. Schley was no more, having died
in less than fifteen minutes after the attack
1t falls to the lot of few persons to have
the opportunity and ability TO do so much
good, and to be so widely esteemed and be-
loved as was Mrs Schley. She was ever on
the watch for cases of distress of body and
of mind, which her open-handcd generosity
and kindly sympathy, coupled with earnest
and effective personal service, could relieve,
and the communities in which she lived have
been largely benefited by her presence in
them. The sad tidings of her death spread
with lightning rapidity last night, and was
known in the uttermos,t parts of the city in
less than hour after her demise EXPIRES
sions of the profounde st grief were held on
all sides, and people held their breath at the
suddenness Of the shock. Like many an
other public calamity, the void made by the
demise of Mrs. Schley will not be easily
filled, and her loss will be felt for years to
come, while her memory will be long kept
green and fragrant by hosts of loving, CRATE
ful hearts"

Democratic pole Raising at Bealls.

ville.-On Saturday last the Democracy
of Medley's District assembled in force at
the above named place to erect pole and
ratify the nomination Of Col james NJ.
Schley. The weather was fine and gen.
eral turnout of the youth and beauty of the
neighborhood, accompanied by the sturdy
yeomanry Of that locality, graced the occa-
sion. A pole, one hundred and twenty five
feet in length, surmounted by a large bronze
rooster, was raised. After the pole had been
placed in an upright position beautiful
flag, the gift of the ladies of Beallsvlle to the
Hancock and English club of that place, to-
gether with splendid streamer bearing the
names of our presidential candidates was
thrown to the breeze The Poolesville brass
band-an institution now almost indispen-
sable of every gathering in our county-was
present and enlivened the occasion by Sc
lections of choice music. The speakers
stand had been erected in the grove oppo-
site the store of Mr.. A. T. Davis. 1t was
profusely decorated with evergreens and por-
traits of Hancock and English, entwined
with bunting, which had a very pleasing
effect to the eye, evidently the handiwork of
some of the fair daughters of that district,
many of whom listened attentvely to the
speaking during the afternoon.
Mr.. William Il. Jones called the meeting
to order and introduced Hon George Peter,
of this place, as the first speaker Col. Schley,
who had been nominated few days before
for Congress in this district, being pres
ent, Mr.. Peter and j. II. Wood, ESQ.,, of
Frederick City, made short but effective
speeches in order TO hear the remarks of the
honored nominee. That gentleman being
introduced spoke for an hour touching upon
the main issues in the beginning and con
cluded with timely remarks upon local
issues. an speaking of Garfield he said
that if that $4,000 were for fee, the Repub-
lican party should present the receipt and
thus acquit their nominee" In concluding
his speech he stated that he had always
fled any man TO the contrary, and urged
the necessity of every Democrat to be on
hand election day and assist in securing a
victory of unprecedented dimensions.
Hon. Montgomery Blair next took the
stand and gave Senator Conkling shaking
up. This gentleman was followed by f. }.
Nelson, of Frederick, and the meeting was
closed by speech from Mr. George II. Gott,
ofBaltimore, after which the vast assemblage
dispersed for home.

to have an increased majority for the Demo
cratic ticket from top TO bottom from that
