Tits indeed peculiarly sad that

the dark and silent river of death
just in the prime of life. The fact
of her husbands deeease, just q
month before, and her own death to
follow SO soon thereafter, surrounds
their departure with a deeper tinge
of sadness and sorrow, and causes
all relatives, acquaintances and
friends to pause, to ponder and
drop tear of sympathy over
the graves of these loved ones gone
before. Blanche was indeed a kind
friend, a loving, faithful wife, true,
noble, pure woman, whose brow was
adorned by all those enrolling viz
tues which might well sparkle in
the diadem of an angel. Purity of
motives and purity of action. ever
characterized her cause through life,

will be borne on angelic wings over

forevermore around the throne of
the everlasting God, plucking bright

,-FArAL AocIDxNr-Mr. Thomas
Spencer, one of themen working ON
the Kanawha river bridge, slipped,
ON the 9th inst, and fell a distance
of ffty-six feet, striking his head
against piece of timber below,
crushing his skull terribly, and pro
ducing instant death. The body
was taken charge of by Mr.. Andrew
Baird, the bridge contractor, and by
our undertaken, Mr.. Jacob Kuhn,
and taken to Middleport, Ohio, for
interrment. Mr.. Spencer, we learn,
leaves a wife aud two children to
mourn the death of husband and
father, whom we learn was indus
trious, upright and honorable.
Our old friend VIM. Fl. Wallis, of
MERGERS Bottom, has recently had
queer experience with railroads.
FIRST, his family horse broke his leg
crossing trestle, second, he broke
his own leg in cattle-guard; third,
his riding horse was chased a mile
by a gravel train, and finally Ieaped
trestle sixteen feet wide without
injury. Next. we expect to hear of
the engine chasing the family cat
into the house and up into the '.loft .
But still, we congratulate him that
matters are no worse, and hope that
he will soon recover from his own
personal injury. and come to town
and have his usual good time with
the boys.
In this mountain State, as large
Us all of New England, we have
some very fine towns and a half

Kanawha, will be the largest city
in the State, and the greatest rail
road, manufacturing and CONNER
cial centre in the Ohio Valley. Her
railroads, her bridges, and the i'm
provement of the Great Kanawha
Is bound to make her, and crackers
and fogies cannot keep her back.
With the bright future before our
people, why should we not be en-
terprising. liberal and happy.
