eB- Another distinguished Democrat is
dead, in the person of General Durbin Ward,
of Lebanon, Ohio, whose death occurred on
Saturday last. Gen. Ward was one of the
best known Democrats of the State, and
while he was rather unfortunate in his
political aspirations, no other Democrat had
a warmer place in the hearts of the members
Of his party. He was a brave soldier during
the war of the rebellion, in which he won
distinction and respect. He was of rugged
nature. but the hardships of the tented field
told wonderfully upon him and almost COM
pletely broke him down. His death is sadly
mourned by his party and citizens of TIE
State generally. @ r-.

A Columbus Miss, Special to the Pic
syune Of July 2Sth. says
On the End. inst, your correspOn-
dent said something In the Picay-
une about little MOllie Pennington, the
Is year old daughter of George Penning-
ton, at Vernon Lamar county, Ala. Since
that time reports of such unbOunded ex-
citement reached me that yesterday
started from Columbus to the home OF
this "mOdern miracle"
The road from Columbus is one of the
toughest. Your correspondent found
her in her little hut among the pines
three miles to the south Of Vernon. A.
ter stating my mission to her father l
was shown into the room where little
MOllie was seated surrounded by her lit
tie brothers and sisters, while there were
many visitors standing around, each ga
zing at the unpretentious looking child
who has created sensation unsurpassed
in the history Of the nineteenth centu-
ry.
She opened the conversation, after fin
ding out that l was a newspaper man,
and said:
"YOu newspaper men have already
made my name familiar to the United
States" She said the New Orleans pa
per had published it, and when l told
her was the correspondent Of that New
Orleans paper, the Picayune she seemed
happier to meet me.
In answer to my questions, she said:
Il am l3 years Of age. l have never
gone to school but two days In my life
and now do not know my alphabet; had
never heard but two sermons previous to
my translation from the earth to Heav-

She then told the doctor and friends
that she would only have one more Of
those dreadful spells and that the Lord
would cure her and that che would be as
we'll as ever In life.
She told them that she would die and
go to the spirit land for one hour and
then come back, and then she asked the
doctor to remain with her till she re-
turned.
She did die: had no pulse, no heart
beating and the doctor pronounced hel
dead. Her friends and relatives stood
agonizing and weeping around and
thought she had parted with life.
At the expiration Of one hour by the
watch, she revived and breathed again
and told them that she was we'll and that
the Lord had cured her, and she desired
to get up.
The doctor told her that she was toe
weak to get up. She jumped up and be
gan to shout and praise God and to warn
the people, She said that she had been
to heaven and had seen the Lord and
many who are dead. and some who died
long before she was born.
She said that she saw Mrs. Bickerstalt
who had died about FIVE miles from bel
home that day and 1t is certain truth
Mollie had not heard Of the death.
Il had Officiated az minister at the
burial that morning. She told her
friends that went with her to heaven
