in the evening, but being in bed-himself a
sufferer from rheumatism-Mrs Cleve-

Senator Logan's death. From his own linn
tied personal acquaintance with him he
had formed a high opinion of him as sim

would be very sensibly felt by hosts of per-
soral friends throughout the country who
had become attached to him because of his

large whom he had served well as a Union
soldier and in the highest branch of the
