I'M MEMORIAM.

We mentioned, few days ago. the
sudden death OF the young son Of our
esteemed brother, Hon. T. d. Thacher, of
the Lawrence Journal. At the time of
his death the father was in New York
state. summoned there by the sickness OF
his father. Upon his return Mr.. Thach-
er wrote the following "In Memoriam,'
which can be fully appreciated by those
who have suffered similar affection,
and which shows the deep grief Of the
parent. We need not assure our friend
of our heartfelt sympathy in this saddest
of earthly bereavements:
ave should be doing injustice to our
own feelings did We omit TO say brief
word concerning the recent sad affection
deepest grief We refer, of course TO
the sudden death of our youngest son,
I. Dwight Thacher, Jr. Upon arriving
in Philadelphia, last Friday, we found u
dispatch, sent the day before, announc-
ing his illness. We at once sent u reply
that we would take the first train for
home, and asking how he was. In d
few moments, and before our telegram
could have reached its destination, we
received a message that he had died the
night before. We left by the first train,
and made the long. dreary journey to
Lawrence, to find our dear boy already
laid away, beneath the wintry SHOWS, IN
his last narrow resting place.
Death is terrible enough under any
circumstances, but in this case it seemed
peculiarly sad. He was boy of strong
physique, and had always been in good
health. He drove Us to the depot the day
we left for New York. Alas, how little
we thought as he said his CHEEKY good
bye, that il was the last time We should
| hear his voice or see his foGni He was
boy upon whom we had founded high
hopes. He was of generous, Impetuous
| chivalrous disposition, and great favor
tic among all classes of the com
munitY. He knew everybody. anC
had pleasant word and g smil'
for all. During his sickness
he was patient and full of fortitude
and especially considerate of his heroic
mother, who, aside from his physician
was his only attendant. He was buried
| in the midst of one of the most fierce
winter storms that has ever visited thi:
latitude, as though nature herself wer'
hooking human grief and woe. Dear
fallen boy, We shall go TO him, but h
shall not come back 10 us. Let US cas-
this brief memento, wet with paterna
tears, upon his untimely grave, and theI
take up once more the burdens of life
until we too shall have passed over ant
Joined the great majority!

In reply to our correspondent we will
say that we had supposed that the Jour-
nal only issued 4 weakly edition. There
Is report in circulation that a sudden
change came over the spirit Of the edi-
tor last week. While he was printing
his paper with the usual Chronicles"
which opposed the issue of bonds. = gen.
tleman entered his Office with cOmmu-
nication favoring the railroad PROPOSE

with an order for hfty extra copies
Of his paper. Tho report Is that the ed
itor Immediately willed. stopped the
press, aud lifted the CHRONICLES" out of
the form, and used the space for the CON-
municatiOn which turned the tables" on
the author of "Chronicles." SO that his
readers in Jackson township got the
Journal favOring the railroad bonds,
while those In the balance of the coun.
ty got the paper opposing the bonds.
We have not seen the Journal. but
hasten to say that the report is evident
y false, and is gotten up by some mali
cious and dastsrdly individual,
who is jealous of the wonderful
influence of the ''great and good man"
who edits the Journal. We must adopt
this conclusion because that good man
has so often proclaimed his honesty in
his columns, and how ring Infiue noes
and trickery OF all kinds nauseated his
delicate sense of purity, and sat like a
night mare on his pure soul. No. Mr..
Snediker. you must be mistaken and the
report on the street must be a low
lived falsehood, and its author
villain OF the deepest die. The Journal
man would not be guilty of such trick.
We have his word for it that he is good
and honest and pure, and We ought all
to believe him. We utterly repel the
idea that the sale of fifty extra copies of
his paper would influence him tn de-
viate from the line OF rectitude, and
adopt that of deception, and double
dealing.
