of sorrow pervades all ranks, in the
demise of the oldest citizen in Perry

Overmyer, his relative, and his friend
from childhood.
No wonder the funeral was grand
in its solemnity, imposing in its mag
nitude, and melting in the tenderness
of its affections, for the Pioneer, the
christian, the kind neighbor, the pa
triotic citizen, the afectionate parent,
the tender husband. the old time cit
izen, and the faithful friend, had sum-
moned all for the last time to witness
his departure from time to realms
eternity.
There rest and peace and bliss un-
speakable are the diadems which gilt
ter in his crown.
How blessed the hope of life beyond
the tomb.
Peter Whitmer is gone from this
life, but his memory remains,
and his virtues die not. These
linger to bless his kindred, and will
blaze along the track of time through
generation yet unborn.

r. w. McMahon, died on Friday
last, after long and debilitating af-
Fiction. His funeral was preached by
Rev. Adams, at the home of deceased.
Mr.. r. w. Mcmahon was a man
of more than ordinary ability, half
brother of j. F. Mcmahon of the
New Lexington Tribune.
He leaves widow and three orphan
daughters, to mourn his loss.
He was perfectly resigned to death,
and bravely and hopefully faced the
King of Terrors. His disposition to
indulge in mirth and humor clung to
him tc the last but is was painful to
observe the conflict with the inevita-
BILE.
His earthly effects are house and
lot in Somerset and 80 acre of fine
land in Iowa, all free from incumher-
ance.
He leaves a name unsullied with
dishonor, and a memory deeply seated
in the affections of all who knew him.

The Late Presidents Case.

The surgical treatment of President
Garfield is the subject of discussion in
the North American Review for Decem-
Der between Drs. William A. Hammond,
John Ashhurst, Jr, j. Marion Sims and
John 7. Hogden:
DR.. Hammond says that the wound
was not necessarily mortal; that death
was due to clot in the heart, or embol-
ism, and that the President did not have
all the advantages of treatment which
modern surgery is capable of affording.
DR.. Ashhurst says if the patient had
been perfectly healthy youth of 20 in
stead of man of so, with the same med
ical advisers and attendants and care,
it is possible, though not probable, that
he would have recovered. The treat
ment could not have been altered in any
way, he thinks, to the advantage of the
patient.
DR.. Sims says the President died of
blood poisoning; that his wound was as
certainly mortal as Lincoln's; that he
had no chance of recovery under any cir
cumstances or any treatment.
DR.. Hodgen says that the nervous
shock from the wound caused the forma-
tion of heart clot, and led to fatal hem
orrhage; that the wound could not have
been probed; that nothing in the treat
ment fastened death or unfavorably in
fiuenced the case.
