Mr.. Robert Reed, one of the earliest
settlers of the Western Reserve, died
February :, 1885, at tbs residence of
his son. i'll law, b. +. Boosinger, North
Chestnut St, Ravenna. aged nearly
Sc years. He was born at Trenton, n.
j., March 20, 1899. In 1905 with his
parents he came to Ohio, and settled
at Bristol, Trumbull Co., where he
remained a few years, and then re
moved to Portage county. February
90, 1920, he and Catharine Willard
were married at Parkman, Geauga
county, where they resided for some
four years, then moved to Brimfield.
Here they resided for a number of
years, then moved to Erie county, Pa,
where they lived some twenty years,
and then returned to Portage county,
which has since been his home. He
was the father of seven children, six
of whom are now living. His wife
died February l, 1873.
The generation to which Mr.. r, ed
belonged has nearly all disappeared.
Very few yet linger on the shores of
time, but their works remain, as the
monuments that they built for them
selves.
Mr.Reed was quite largely acquaint.
ed in Ravenna, and possessed valuable
qualities of life and character, that
Inn.r lua in
His funeral services were held on
Sunday afternoon at the residence of
Mr.. Boosinger. An appropriate dis
course was given by Rev. Andrew
Wilson who attended Mrs. Reeds
funeral twelve years ago.

PugiIistic salvation.

In one of the Salvation evening
meetings recently, ,on the pubIicsqu
private Silas Cox thought himself i'm. .
spired by that goodness which passeth
all understanding, to test the effect of
the good seed sown by the Salvation
Army Oh the meekness of the lockers
on, by emphatically shifting Mr.. e. F.
Goeppinger on the left eye, because,
forsooth. he rejoiced and shouted "hal,
lelujah." The good book says, IF
thy brother smite thee on the left
cheek turn to him the other Also"
Now, that was the old way, when
brothers didn't smite, perhaps. But
we are progressing. In these latter
days we have good many smiters,
and one would he a fool to own pair
of gopd eyes and have both bunged up
all the time. Well, | need only say,
the seed was too old, il did not come
up, and Goeppinger didn't recognize
the inspiration. Private Silas Was ar
rested IA for an earthly act, aud forced
to account to an earthly power that
lmin listers i'm criminal matters.
TherenpOn Silas had another vision,
and caused the arrest of GOeppinger.
IAN eye for an eve, and IA tooth for q
tooth, &c" Goeppinger being of good
intent, and guiitl-ss, appeared before
his Honor TO face his accuser, but ir-
responsible Silas failed to put in his
appearance when the final hour ar
rived for trial, and the shameless
charge against Goeppinger was not
even offered to be supported. Goep
pinger was innocent and the m alicious
arrest only reacts on the accuser
Pugilistic Salvation won't take.
In Justice to MIR. Goeppinger, il
should be said that lie bears Cox no i'll
will, and did not when he was struck
by him, and it is to him a surprise that
Cox should strike him, as he had given
no Cause for the act, nor had he any
intimation that Cox had any ill viii
Iagainst him. -

The success OF the original copyrighted
stories which the FREE PRESS has been pub
lishtugcNclUsiVrly for Vermont, during the
mast few wcrks has led MS to believe that still
further attractions in this line Will not only
add TO the enjoyment of our readers, but
make or paper more valuable and largely
increase its circulation. We have accord
ingly made ARRANGEMENTS to publish, as one
of syndicate of twenty leading papers, II
series of intensely interesting "reminiscences
of the great civ war, written by actual par
Elephants in the scenes. No class of literature
has proven SO popular during the past year
as war stories, and we believe that the
series of ar iCles that we have engaged Will
be us well told and MS interesting as any that
have yet appeared. We confidently expect
that they will be the most popular, interest
ing and valuable series of articles ever printed
by Il Vermont newspaper They Will be
edited bya very able journalist Il man OF wide
acquaintanccship and experience. who is in
constant communication with the most prom
inent officers of both sides. These war stories
will'pOsscss an unique and peculiar NHuc,qultc
distinct from the miscellaneous stories Whlch
we shall continue to publish in connection
with them. They will combine historical value
with the charm and interest Of fiction, and
will form most valuable collection Tor pre-
scrvatiOn.
These stories will consist of the most pie
turcSuuc and interesting material that can be
collected from officers of high rank in both
armies rs well as thrilling stories of personal
adventure by private soldiers. The matter,
while historical and true will appear in the
form of personal narratives. The first article
of the series will be published December l.?
1t Is entitled Lincoln and Texas and
relates Il curious and most striking piece of
secret history. II details the course o: affairs
in Texas during the war which led to the con-
ccptiOn. by President Lincoln, of remark
able plan for dctaching this State from the
confedcracY: the steps taken 10y him to carry
il out the sOCret meeting of eminent generals
of both Union and Confederate armies, and
the complete success of the negotiations up
to the point when word came that Gen. ShCr-
mans progress made it desirable to suspend
them. Several distinguished generals on both
sides now living were concerned. These facts
are historical aud authentic, and are here mar
rated for the first time. Their publication
will create a great sensation both North and
South. The two succeeding articles will hc

4 Triple Tragedy in Observation-Disclosures ol
the Horrible 4 fair

The details of the shocking triple trag-
edy at Lynn Creek Cameron county. Mo,
are to the effect that among the residents
in that vicinity was David Lyons, we'll
TODD farmer, whose family consisted of II
handsome daughter, Kate, aged eighteen,
and Il son about six years old. a few
weeks ago Mr.. Lyons allowed Nat Will
son, an imbccile, to stay at his house and
do odd jobs about the premises. Wilson
was considered good-natured and harm
less. Last Wednesday Mr.. Lyons repri-
manded him for CarelessneSS, and thought
no more of the matter. Not so, however,
with the mailman, who nourished terri
BILE resentment and with the ingenuity
of a maniac waited for fitting opportu-
nifty to wreak his vengeance.
Wilson arose first early Saturday morn
ing, and going to the wood pile secured Il
heavy axe, crept stealthily to Mr.. Lyons ;
room, and, opening the door cautiously,
saw that its occupant was asleep. Rails
| ing the axe he brought the blade down
with crushing force on the head of his
benefactOr, killing him instantly.
| With the bloody axe in his hand he
rushed to the room of Miss Lyons,
and forcing open the door, killed her with
two or three blows. He then made Il
search for the young boy who, hearing
his sisters screams and seeing the mad
man with the axe, ran at the top of his
speed to his unCle'S house, distant about
two miles. Although the maniac pursued
he could not overtake the lad. DE-. Lyons
was informed, and in company with his
/ two sons, thoroughly armed, rode to the
scene of the butcherV. The mailman was

6skazi MIR. GOULDS OPINION.
Mr. Gould said. 81 have for many
years considered Mr.. Vanderbilt as Il man
of unusual. ability in the management of
large financial interests. When his father
died and he came into possession of his
large fortune, Mr. Vanderbilt was not
long in demonstrating his ability to man
age the property which had been entrust-
ed to his care He made no move upon
the checker board of finance until he felt
satisfied that the move was Il safe one to
make. He would not run great risk un-
less he was absolutely compelled by force
OF circumstances, which ! assure you was
! not very often. His judgment upon val
! ues was always sound. Few men have
made so few mistakes in the handling of
money interests as Mr.. Vanderbilt. He
was not bold venturer or operator. He
seemed to be satisfied with Il small, or, at
least, Il fair return from his investments.

anything like an estimate. l. is quite
certain, however, that he was by far the
