OBITUARY.

While the homes of thousands are being made, at
this time of the year, merry by the voices of the
happy children over their Christmas presents, the
home Of Mr.. Andrew S. Hanger has been made very
sad by the death Of two of his children by dipthera
The first bright and promising little boy who
was, at the time Of his death, years, month and
l day old. He died Nov. 81. The second was Ottie,
who died Dec. IA, aged years, IL months and 20
days She very sweet little girl, and was very
much beloved by all who knew her.
Mr.. and Mrs Hanger are experiencing trials,
but trust they may find comfort in Him who can
give joy for sorrow, and happiness for pain. If this
can be realized. how true are the following words
The birds all gone,
hear no song,
The wind is blowing cold:
The snow Is now upon the ground,
Like mantle you unfold.
The flower is dead,
Its tiny head
Is hid beneath the snow;
1t passed away all in day
And that was long ago.
l had two flowers
Beneath my bowers,-
They bloOmed to my delight
The frost Of death my flowers bit,
And they vanished out OF sight.
The flowers are gone,
God came along,
And took them white and blue;
He left none dying In the snow
He took my flowers too.
But OIL can it be
That must see
My babes from me riven?
But while I'm suffering here below,
They are safe in Heaven.
Thou God Of love-
Come from above,
Thou who took my Treasures.
And help me all my journey through,
Be governed by thy pleasure
To the memory Of our dear departed brother,
David B. Houseman.
BYAM. EyERs, Frederick, Md.
He's gone, our loving son. is gone
To join the saints above,
Well miss him in our happy home,
Well neer forget his love.
He's gone, our precious brother, dear
. No more his face we see;
He's absent, though he may be near
How happy he must be.
He's gone, our faithful grandsons gone,
He lives with Christ on high;
We hope to meet him soon at hand,
Where pleasures never die.
He's gone, our dearest nephews gone,
God sent his angels down,
To take his blood-bought spirit home,
Where he received his crown.
He's gone our cheerful classmates gone,-
We miss him in the church,
We often think of him as one,
Who loved the Savior much.
He's gone, our much loved converts gone
How happy now are we,
To think, in death, he sang of home
His sainted spirits free.
He's gone we'll meet him soon again,
Where happy spirits dwell;
With Jesus now he's gone to reign
We feel that all is well,
Then cheer up, parents, loved ones, M,
Well meet him by-and by;
~ Yes, meet, where shadows never fall,
And christians never die

THE MURDER CAsE.-OE Thursday last
Jno ]. Burner, waived an examination before
the magistrate, and on Saturday was indicted
by the special grand jury for murder IN the
first degree Commonwealth Attorney Echols
moved for a trial of the case at once. The
motion was resisted by Meade F. White, Esq,
on behalf OF the accused AS ground for con-
tinuance, Mr. White stated that the prisoner
had not secured COUNSEL that the conditions
under which he (W) had agreed to take the
case had not as yet been complied with, but
that there were reasonable prospects that suit
able arrangements could be made. Mr.. White
also stated that even if trial were insisted
upon at this term, and the court should ap-
point him as counsel, it would be impossible
for him TO serve in his then physical condition.
The prisoner was brought into court, and cor
roborated Mr.. White in substance, so far as
the procurement OF counsel was concerned
The Judge then announced that the case would
be continued until the February term. The
commonwealth witnesses were recognized to
appeal. nc poius Vi Nv" Va tuCH, tuC winch,
Lester and Lewis, were fixed at $1,000 each.
As they did not furnish security, and will not
be likely to do so. they have been incarcerated
1t is stated that the States Attorney will be
aided in the prosecution by counsel from
abroad, employed by Mr.. Burners friends
The names of Hon. H. H. Riddeberger. Hon.
VIM Fl Payne and Hon. Geo. d. Wise have
been mentioned In this connection.

Henderson in Court.

Henderson, the postoflice sharp, was
brought over from Bozeman last night,
and this morning was arraigned before
Judge Budlong for examination upon the
charges preferred against him. He came
into court looking as cheerful, brazen and
undaunted as in the days when he paraded
Livingston in his assumed character and
consorted with some of the best men In
the town. As soon as his case was called
for hearing he demanded a change OF
venue, and being asked upon what
grounds he preferred the demand, said he
was ready to make affidavit that he did
not believe he could obtain Justice. Be
ing further pressed as to his reasons for that
belief he vouchsafed the remark that sit
was not right for one crooked man to try
another of similar character" This, with
other open insinuations against the honor
and prebity of the court constituted
contempt, and the judge imposed fine
of $50, and as the cash was not forth
coming, Henderson was committed to Jail
there to remain until tile judgment is sat
isfied, and until that time his examination
on the major charges is postponed.
This impudent accusation on the part OF
Henderson again st man SO universally
respected as is Judge Budlong, will have
strong tendency to ALLEVIATE what little
of public feeling there may have been in
his favor, Even had he obtained change
of venue, to which, being on examination
instead of trial he was not entitled, we are
at loss to understand dow he could have
been benefited even in his own idea.
The charge of falsely personating U. S.
officer will be substantiated, as soon as
his case is examined before any justice,
and he will be committed for trial. His
sharpness and cunning have certainly
taken course that will not prove bene-
fetal upon this, his second visit to Liv-
ingston. The only charge that he could
formulate against Judge Budlong, was
that she had known him since 1860, and
had never known him to favor a man ac-
cused of crime' This may he an accu-
sation, but it has the outside appearance
of compliment.

Salmi Morse has at last succeeded
in presenting the "Passion Play" in
New York. The house was densely
crowded and considerable enthusiasm
was manifested. The press of the city
express different views of the play.
The Tribune characterizes it as "plain
blasphemy," while the Herald says
that the "scenes at which religious
persons were expected to hold up their
hands in holy horror were not pre-
sented at all. There was no agony
in the garden, no betrayal, no beating
no buffeting or crowningIwith thorns
no bearing the cross to Calvary, no
crucifixion. All these offered dra-
matte possibilities that might have
been worked out in ways most objec-
tionable, but the story as presented is
entirely without offensive features,
Neither does 1t promise to exert the
moral influence which the author has
claimed for it for the text is far too
verb,se to be impressive and the ac-
ting too little and feeble to excite one
for or against any character Among
theater goers it may be nine days
wonder; not more than that. When
the church people discover how en-
tirely harmless it is they may possibly
find a long and placid enjoyment in its
several effective tableaux. Certainly
none win be able Ito pronounce i'm
moral or irreverent in the slightest de.
