A MAN WITH NERVE.
The Bravery of a Colored Citizen OF II ell
mont County.

The Bravery of Colored Citizen OF II ell
mont County.
A very gauzy story is told by n gentle
man ofcOlOr from the interior of Belmont
concerning his being robbed and recover
ing his lost property. He was met on
horseback near the tOllgate, a mile back of
Martins Ferry, yesterday morning about
five o'clock, and told the following story:
He came to camp-meeting on Sunday, and
did not get away from cOlored mash
until n. M, at which time he started
home on horseback. When two miles out
he met three other cOlOred men coming in
who teTrOrized him and made him give up
over hundred dollars he had in his pos
session and then allowing him TO 20 on.
He Weakened a man in a house on the road
side and borrowed q revolver, with which
he followed his robbers to the river, where
he overlook them, and at the point of the
gun made them disgOrge their i'll gotten
wealth. Great head, that, to do or imagine
such thing so quietly.

Narrow Escape.

Last evening about O'Clock Two boys
drove horse and buggy down the wharf
at the foot of Twelfth street for the pur-
pose of watering the animal. Driving in
and attempting to turn, the buggy was
upset and both boys dumped out into the
river. They were swept some distance out
in the river and might have drowned had
not one of the ferry skitls rescued them.
The horse became loOsened from the har-
ness and swan ashore, while the buggy
was also caught by the occupants of
the skif' as it was floating away.
The rig was finally righted, the horse again
hitched up and the boys jumped i'll and
drove of, wet, but glad matters were no
worse.

Death Of An Estimable Lady.

Last Sunday night friends OF the
family received by telegraph the sad
intelligence of the death Of Mrs
Edith Rutherford. which occurred
in Columbia, S C, in the afternoon
of that day. The remains were
conveyed to this city on Mondays
train and carried to Clinton Chapel,
where it remained till ten O'Clock
Tuesday morning, when the funeral
was conducted by Rev Slade, pastor
in charge. The church was well
filled with relatives and friends who
had come to pay their last respects
to one dearly loved by all who knew
her.
As Mrs Rutherford was for years
an active worker in the Sunday
school-the organist and a teacher
many of the Sunday school teachers
and pupils attended the funeral.
The pastor took for a text ii. Cor
rinthians V. I. He referred feelingly
to the life and character OF the de-
ceased, and TO her last moments.
How resigned to death, how happy
she died, and the singing OF Sab
bath school hymns. Many brow
was wet with a sympathizing tear,
though she has gone and is now en-
loving the reward that awaits all who
are finally faithful.
The corpse was followed to its last
resting place by scores of friends.
Sunday school hymns Icing used
through the ceremony.
Mrs Edith Rutherford was the
daughter of Anthony Alexander.
She professed faith in Christ and
connected herself with Clinton
Chapel when very young, and lived
till she died a devout Christian.
She was devoted to the Sabbath
school and the church, and seldom
failed to attend the services of both
when not prevented by sickness.
About a year ago she was married
t. Mr. Austin Rutherford, and re-
moved to Columbia. S c. She was
yet young, having but recently en-
tered into womanhood. And again
we are reminded Of the truth that
death loves a shining mark" She
was the last Of the family-father.
mother, sister and brother having all
died before her.
