MURPHY-At her home i'll this city on Friday,
July 14th, 1882, of puerperal commissions, Mrs.
Annie S., wife of Mr.. J. W. Murphy, aged
thirty two years.
No death which has occurred in this town has
shocked our people as did the announcement of
the death of Mrs. Murphy. Mr.. Murphy and the
deceased were married at Minneapolis, Mimi,
Feb 9th 1878, and came to Superior last fall. She
was universally admired and respected for her
amiable disposition and kindness of heart, us
was plainly attested by the very large attendance
at her funeral, when all that could be done by
sympathisng friends, was tomanitest thatloye for
her by their attendance upon that solemn occa-
sion She was buried from the Catholic church
Saturday afternoon, Rev. Father Oderick Otficiat-
ing. 1t would almost seem that Mr.. Murphy was
having more than his share Of affiiction, with
in a period of twenty six months he has been
called upon TO part with five of his loved ones,
two daughters and q son having died in that
time before this loss Of wife and infant son. We
know that words of coincidence seem but hollow
mockery in such hours of deep affection. yet it
is all that earthly friends can give such times,
and all unite in these, and for true consolation
we must at such times look to higher power for
comfort and for that peace which 'passeth man S
understanding" and which alone can move US TO
exclaim, 1.-The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh
away Blessed be the name of the Lord!''

Jeaerson's Grave.

The passage of the act appropriating
$40. 900 to erect a monument over the
grave of Thomas Jefferson at Month
cello, Va, has brought ont a letter from
his granddaughter, Miss Randolph,
the head of the Patapsco Institute.
She says:
The little graveyard at Monticello
only one hundred feet SQUARES all OF
the 10000 acres of land owned by JET
fersou when he entered public life
which is now left 10 the possession OF
his descendants. He sleeps, amid
scenes of surprising beauty and gran
deur, on that lovely mountain side
surrounded by the graves of his chill
dren and grandchildren to the fifth
generation. At his side lies his wife,
whom he loved with such singular de-
votion. A few feet from him rests the
cherished friend of his youth, young
Dabney Carr, whose motion in the
Virginia House of Burgesses to estab-
lish committees of correspondence be-
tween the sister colonies, leading. as IT
did, to the meeting of the First Con
gress, has given his name an envlable
place in American history.
A little farther off lie the remains O.
another devoted and distinguished
friend Governor Wilson Cary Nicholas
of Virginia, while at his feet sleeps
another Governor of the old Common
wealth. his own son-in- law, Thomas
Mann Randolph. The modesty of the
spot is in striking contrast with tht
celebrity of it's dead, and there are
perhaps few in America of greater his
toric interest or more deserving of the
nations care.
Monticello was sold a year after JET
ferson's death for the paltly sum o
50, 500, thus Disappointing the font
hope in which he died that amid 1h'
wrecks of his fortune this home at leas
w
was secured to his daughter, my grand
mother.
In the deed conveying the place t
the purchaser the graveyard and til
right of way to it were exempted an
retained in the possession of my grand
mother and my father. both of WHOM
signed the deed, my father being JET
ferson's executor. That right nov be

Jumping Town Lots.

We understand that some parties in
this city are now engaged in the very
ticklish pastin,e Of jumping town lots.
We further understand that parties who
have bought lots In good faith from 9TH
ers and have paid taxes upon them for
the past three or four years, are the vic
Tins. For these jumpers and those who
encourage them, this community enter
tains but one opinion, and that opinion
was plainly gwen when other parties
attempted the same game few years
ago. The present juhpers are not likely
to fare better than the others referred to.
The men who have bought, paid for and
paid taxes on these lots are our oldest
aid most respected residents. They
came here to earn their money honestly
and do net propose to be swindled out Of
it by tramps or shysters, and it may be
we'll for those who are engaged in this
nefariOus business to reconsider their
action and take counsel Of justice If not
Of prudence. This city Is too old and
it's people have been here too long to
countenance, much lese to submit qui-
city to any schemes Of attempted rob
berry on the part Of those who would
make their living by preying upon the
substance Of others.
