After an Heroic Struggle.

At Mt. McGregor, n. Y. on Thursday
morning last ut sos o'clock General
Ulysses S. Grant, the great captain of
our civil war died after a painful ILL
ness of cancer Of the throat. The end
was peaceful; he passed away as
though he was quietly sinking into Il
deep, calm sleep. Death was caused by
exhaustion and the patient was spared
~ painful and distressing death by
strangulation, which was at one time
promised and at all times feared from
the nature of the affection.
General Grant was a noble man; it is
not possible that the history Of his man
ly and courageous life be read by one
so deaf to the appeals Of the soul to
honor magnanimity, courage, intirXl-
blity Of purpose and ability Of Il high
order and not to accord to him char
actcr marked and distinguished by these
and other Ugh and enrolling traits.
Deeper sentiments nor finer feeling
were ever wrought into the character Of
any man than were evidenced by his
numberless acts while serving in his
public stations
His memorable "Lct us have peace
was not uttered, II meaningless and
empty expression, but he felt it and in
tended that 50 far at least as his en-
,leavors might conduce to that end,
they would be rigilly and consistently
held to that course.
General Grant stood by his friends
and in several noted instances preferred
serving them even when he was aware
that to DO so, lie must suffer the penal
tv himself for acts in themselves not to
be justified.
The errors in his administration
while president We're charged against
him personally with untrue and unjust
severity. lie stepped into civil life
without other than his military eXper-
fence and that was calculated to mis-
lead his judgement, for he naturally
expected his subordinates in civil life
to be as answering in their duty as it
had been required and received at the
hands of those under his command
while at the head Of a magnifc2ntly
disciplined army.
Ills later financial misrortuEes are
chargeable to others directly and en-
tirely and in them he deserved and re-
ccved the sympathy Of every liberal
minded citizen.
The tributes that are being paid his
memory and the honors that will be &C
corded his body will bear evidence that
no citizen since Washington has borne
to the grave with him SO great meas =
IRE of the nation 8 regard.
\ deep and bitter sob will we'll up
form The great warm heart Of the people
when they realize that Grant has joined
ms comrades who fought and fell in the
glorious cause, to the successful issue
of which, lie, more than all, contrlbu.

peckers took up their abode IN Mt.
Zion church, just east OF Hayes sta

Tolono. Every year they have re-
tnaned in augmented numbers, until
the past season they have taken entire
possession of the attic and upper part
OF the building. persistently refusing
to be driven away. Lately they have
become so annoying by their contin-
ual peckiDg away that the minister,
in his frantic efforts to preach, has re-
peatedly forgotten his text and lost
the theme of his discourse, while the
deacons have found II impossible TO
make a coherent prayer. The build
ing is an old one and will be aban-
