Death of ssnL:. Nj. Russell.

Died, on the Stb OF July, 1882, at hi
residence near Unionville, Mr.. Rob,r
NJ. Russell, aged 43 years, 10 month
and % days
NJ. Russell was born in Venang,
C. un.y, Pa, on the llth Of Aug. 1883
A an early age he removed with hi.
fathers family to Butler county, Pa
and in due time established himself il
mis- home, where be resided until the
time of his death.
Descended from worthy and piou.
parents, be inherited their virtues il
an eminent degree and received thai
early training which fitted him fol
usefulness in after life. He was char
acterized by strict honesty ard integri
ty, and by great frmness in maintain.
ing his convictions of truth and right.
And these qualities were combined
with degree of mildness and courtesy,
which won the esteem of those who
enjoyed his society. Then all these
excellent qualities were heightened
and improved by the benign influence
of true piety which pervadei his lie,
warmed his heart and controlled his
conduct.
On the Goth of June, 1868, be
united with the Presbyterian Church
of Muddycreek, of which be remained
a faithful and consistent member, until
the organization of the Presbyterian
Church of Unionville, Oct, Both,
1877, when be united with that church
and was elected and ordained as a
ruling Elder He was also chosen
Superintendent of the SGbba' h
School both of which offices he faithfully
and efficiently filled, until he was dis
abled by the sickness which terminated
in his death and the labors of this
life were exchanged for the rewards Of
Heaven
As man he was faithful and sin
cere. kind aud amiable in all the re-
lations of life. AS q Christian he
was characterized by purity of princi-
pie, equanimIty and moderation.
Without ostentation, he was firm and
unwavcring in the support of the
truth. AS an officc-bcarer in the
church, he was wise and prudent in
counsel, kind and courteous in his
official intercourse, and constant in his
zeal for the glory of God and the
salvation of souls aud the good of the
church. He bore his last illness
which was protracted and severe
with patience and resignation. In
the midst of his bodily sulferings his
soul was full of peace and joy, in an
ticipation of his Heavenly rest-and in
the exercise of living faith he could
say with the Psalmist: "My flesh
and my heart faileth, but God is the
strength of my heart, and my portion
forever" His strength gradually
failed, until at length the Messenger
came with the summons, "Friend come
up higher" and he joyfully responded
to the Savor's call, and left the church
militant for the church triumphant in
Heaven.
He has left his fond companion, his
beloved son, his honored father and
very large circle of dear friends to
mourn his loss; but they feel that
their loss is his infinite gain. Thus
ended q mortal life of toll and trial, and
thus began an immortal life of glory
and reward He has left behind him
the rich legacy of life well spent and
memory which will be cherished
W it'll fondest affection. S. w.

The best farmers never pasture their
mowing-lands, no matter if the feed be
short in the pastures. One thing may
be set down as sure, that any one who
does will be gradually but surely run
ming his farm out, so that in the course
of few yearsit will produce very little.
When once farm gets into this run-out
condition, it is no task to get it back
again. Some farmers think it pays to
crop their grass lands in this way, and
thus cheat Nature little; but, if they
will keep debit and credit, they will find
that they have not succeeded.

The meeting Of the w. G. T. U.
at the M. e. Church, last Saturday
was of unusual interest, for two
reasons:
First we had with us our State
President, Miss A. Taylor, of
Wheeling, whose words of encour-

fitness were needed and appreci-
ated.
The second feature of special in

and conducted by Mrs c. D. Mer-
rick, from Samuel, 18th chapter

wan present who did not feel her.
self strengthened by this lessen.
The Spirits presence was felt and
we think all went away with the
feeling that it was a good thing to
meet and learn Gods methods and
read His promises.
We would suggest to our sister
Unions the careful study Of this
chapter.
Mrs. DR.. Kendall was elected Vice
President, from the M. E. Church,
to Eli the vacancy made by the
resignation CT Mrs. DR.. Devol: also
Mrs. L. N. Logan, from the M, E.
Church, South, in place of Mrs. DR..
Moss, declined.
Miss Carrie Scho6eld reported
the organization Of a Young La
dies C. T. u, which made favor

Jones as Superintendent, and Miss
Carrie Schofeld, President.
The Corresponding Secretary
was instructed to send for sample

prompted her visit to US and the
good counsel she gave A MEMBER.

to notice of our meetings.

The name of the company was

monious and satisfactory through
out. Now, let the digging begin.

MUNICIPAL ELEcTIoN.-We sug-
gest that a mass convention of the
citizens of Keyser, irrespective of
party, convene in the Court House
at an early day, for the purpose OF
nominating a Mayor, Recorder, and
five Councilmen to be elected for
the year beginning February |,
1888. Our present town officials
have given general satisfaction,
and we could hardly do better, and
certainly might do worse than re-
elect them.-Keyser Tribune.
We commend the above to our
partisan neighbors, who seem to
think the cycles Of revolving sys-
TENS will somehow refuse to turn
on their unfolding hinges if their
straight party ticket should fail to
be elected.

THE VERY WINDS AGAINST THEM

The VERY WINDS AGAINST THEM.
AS we came up street from our
office the other day, we noticed the
pavements strewn with showers OF
bright sheets of tinted paper; but
they all seemed to be blank, and
that surprised US. To solve the
mystery we picked up one of the
sheets, and behold, on the under
side, was Saloon Advertisement.
The wind was blowing and carry
inc the sheets hither and thither
but we noticed, they stopped with
the printed side down; And to be
particular, we counted as we walk
ed along, and we counted twenty,
before we found one with the invl-
tation to drunkenness and ruin
looking upward toward heaven.
Verify, thought we, here is a
hard business, that the very winds
conspire and fight against the
plans and purposes Of those engag-
ed in it.
