DIED..

&EHdV rates-tre cents per lne--fsr Obituary N, =
tres beyond the usual announcement.
On the 23d instant, near Martins
burg, Mr.. Ludwig Hesse, aged 60
years, IL months and II days.
About three weeks previous to his
death he received a stroke of Apo
plexy, from which, even at first, he
could not recover. He was a good
citizen and neighbor, respected and
honored for his honest integrity and
sterling qualities Of mind and heart.
He possessed some degree Of con-
seriousness almost to the very last
hours of life. The name which is
above every name, Jesus, did not
fade from his memory, and with
that precious name engraved on his
heart, he fell asleep in Jesus. He
was born in Germany, and there be-
came a member of the Lutheran
church, and when he came to this
country continued to be a faithful
and consistent member. While his
sOrely stricken widow and hes sons
mourn his departure, we believe that
it is theirs ito sorrow not as those
who have no hope" May the consola-
tions of diviue grace support them
in their hours Of trial and sanctify
their bereavement to their eternal
good. M. l.. CUTLER.

WR notice that Mr.. John Will
liams, of Pennsylvania, is now in
Producing his single and tin roof
fire and water proof paint in our
town and county, and has already
completed several buildings in this
city, one of which is the Fifth Ward
School building. We have seen his
work on the school building, and in
our opinion believe it to be all that
is claimed. In addition to stopping
the leaks it adds greatly to the ap-
pearance of the roof, it looking as
well as slate. Mr.. Williams has as
ISOLATED with him Mr.. J. II. Sharff,
who will receive orders and give any
information desired.

LEAVES FROM THE DIARY OF AN |
Old LAWYER.

LEAVES FROM THE DIARY OF AN
OLD LAWYER.
This beautifully bound little vol
umn is from the press of the Amer
lean Book Exchange. 1t is there
fore cheap.
But it is not cheaply put together.
1t is printed on nice clear paper
in good type. This book is one
among the many interesting and val
liable publications of the Exchange
kept on hand by Mr.. H. A. Riddle.
These Leaves are culled from the
Diary of an old criminal lawyer of
the Pennsylvania Bar, in which he
recounts, with reflections, his ex-
perience, during thirty or forty
y aars of busy practice, with drunk
enness and crime. He gives it tp 161
as the result of his long experience,
that intemperance is the direct cause
of nearly all the crime committed in
our country. Out of nearly four
thousand criminal cases in which he
had been engaged, he is satisfied
that over three thousand originated
from drunkenness alone, and that a
great portion of the rest could be
traced to the same source.
AS a lawyer and as human man
he is in deadly opposition to the
whole license system. In recon
mending this valuable book i would
not be understood as endorsing eve-
nv thing in it. He leans too much
to the abominable jesuitical doctrine
of doing evil that good may result.
He looks at the whole question too
much from the view of the world
simply. But his facts and pleadings
are eloquent, at times grandly eio-
quent. But / cannot pretend re-
view. The book must be read to be
enjoyed. Take for example, chap.
": 1.-THE Drunkard's WILL" and
chap. X: 1.-THE Great..Army march
ing to Death"
Chap. VIII: "The Logic of the
Law bothers Juror"
Another chap. on judicial Muir
DER" and 1.-The Grog- Sellers
Dream"
Every one who feels an interest in
this question of questions, will feel
himself repaid for the reading of
this book of Mr.. Richmond's.

The last legislature fixed upon the
thirA Tuesday in May as the time for

port which has gained limited circu-
latlon IN this portion of the coutny, to
the elect that l am not q friend of free

out foundations; chimera which had
its origin in the fertile brain OF some
kind friend with whom the quality of
voracity exceeds that of veracity. /
Fave taught IN free schools, send my
children to free school, and n 0 act of
mine, as Superintendent of schools,
can possibly be tortured into the con-
structien that l am uniriendly to the
system
During the time have occupied the
position, l have endeavored to faithful
~ and impartially discharge its incum-
bent duties. leave those who have
been interested in the performance of
those duties to Judge rs to whether i
have succeeded. AS can didate for
reelection respectfully solicit the
support OF the people of Berkeley
county of all political parties, and
promise If elected, to give that atten-
ton to the duties OF the office which
the law requires, and which the adj
Vancement of the cause not only needs
but demands.
Very Respectfully.

d,and was almost entirely burned
off her before it was put out. Mrs.
B. had her hands and arms severely
burned in her efforts to extinguish
the fire.
