OBITUARY.

At his home near Edgerton, Milford Tp.,
Defiance county, o., on the night of the 9Th
or morning of the 7th of July, 1885, (exact
time not known,) Mr.. George Murry, aged
II years, 8 months and 1S days. Mr.. Murry
was born Jan. %, 1914, near Royalton, Fair
field county, Ohio. His wife died about two
years ago; now both rest side by side in the
beautiful cemetery at Hicksville, 0. They
were both worthy members of the U. B.
Church. For many years Mr.. Murray and
family lived near Napoleon; many friends
grieved when they removed to their home in
Defiance county, as they were an excellent
christian family. Estella, the youngest of
the family, young lady of estimable worth,
was visiting friends near Napoleon when a
dispatch came to her "your father is dead"
| 1t was a terrible shock to her. She had left
him in usual health not a week previous. She
fastened to Napoleon but too late for the
West bou4sd train Tuesday, July 7th; she was
hastily driven to Wauseon, but there had to
wait until after 6p. m. Friends met her at
| Edgerton informing her that her father was
buried. From her sister, Mrs. Budd, a Wild
owed lady, who lived with and cared for her
father, Estella learned that her father had
talked for some time with his daughter Mrs.
B., before retiring ON the night of the 9Th,
having worked as usual that day; he retired
as we'll as usual. Next morning Mrs. B.
awoke to find the sun shining, thinking it
strange that her father had not called her as
was his custom. Everything wore such a
solemn stiffness she sought her fathers room.
There lying on his left side with his arms
crossed as if sweetly resting, lay her father,
but dead. Alone with the dead, as her little
girl was still sleeping. Sadly she went out to
spread the sorrowful news; the only son and
daughters were called home; orphans now
indeed, but children know this: your par
ents are not dead, they only sleep sweetly in
Jesus. Mr.. Murray and wife were'both living
loving christians even down to death, known
and loved for their many christian graces and
pure goodness Of heart. In this world they
were often called to struggle on life's trouble.
some wave, but we are certain that the last
wave broke peacefully on the shore, for theil
trust was in God, who always cares for those

Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.

SdLner, mother, ana Inree sisters DEAD.
Mr.. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant-
alarms ofthe New Jersey Senate, and now
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co., N. j., makes the following startling
statement: "My father mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungswere so weak raised blood. Nobody
thought / could live. My work (ship-
smithing was very straining on me with nv
weak constitution, and ! was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition I
commenced using Mishler's Herb Bitters,
and it saved my life. Because it was so
difficult to getit in this little place, and l
had improved SO much, / stopped taking it
for q time, and the result is that have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishler's Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me ND
as nothing else does, and I must have a
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
nication asyou please, and if any one wants
to be convinced of its truth, let them write
me and | will make affidavit to it, for /
owe my life to Mishler's Herb Bitters."
Thesecret of the almost invariable relief
and cure of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhea, dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bitters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver;
and throug h them strengthens and invigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in its composition; prepared by a regular
physician; standard medicinal prepara-
ton; endorsed by physicians and drug
gists. These are four strong points in favor
of Mishler's Herb Bitters. Mishler's Herb
Bitters is ssold by all druggists. Price $I.0O
per large bottle. bottles for $500.

.S A remarkable thing about the Virginia
campaign, which is now raging with consid-
cradle violence, is the fact that the Republi-
can candidate is son of Governor Henry
Wise, who hung John Brown. Wouldn't the
Republican papers howl if this J. A. Wise
happened to be on the other side? As it is,
the song of
"John Browns body"
will not cut special figure in the campaign
on that side at least.
