Death ef Br. Holden.

DR.. Holden. we'll and favorably
known in tho Hooking Valley, and
throughout the State, died last
Thursday ar his home in GAINESVILLE
from the effects of fall rereived a
few days before. He was Mayor of
GAINESVILLE al the time of his death
and was the most popular officer tho
city ever possessed.
DR.. Holden was an eminent ply
-sicisn rising from the obscure coun
try doctor practiclng among Straits
vile and the wild hills of Hooking a
generation ago 10 position among
the most distinguished in the pro-
fession.
After the war, in which he serv.
ed as surgeon. he was elected Rep
resenfative Of Perry county, twice
elected Senator from the Perry
Muskingum district. Distinguishing
himself in these positions for biz
outspoken Democracy and his un-
fiinching integrity upon every pub
lie question. He served several
years as Superintendent of the Ath-
ons Asylpm, and with the highest ap-
proval for tho efficiency OF his ad
minislratIon.
His death causes profound regret
thrnughout the entire State and
deep sorrow to those who had known
him and loved him through life
time.
Ne ca1 give no expression better
Than this tribute from the GAINESVILLE
Signal:
PEACE To HIS ASHES.

We are neither a prophet nor the
son of prophet, and in regard to
weather prophets in particular, have
but little confidence in them.
Statistics, derived from many va
RED observations fully establish the
fact. that the mean yearly tempera-
ture for any given point, seldom va
ries more than four or five degrees
in different years.
The temperature for the last -FOUR
months has been remarkably cool,
being some seven or eight degrees if
not more, below the mean average
Temperature Of those months, and it
Is hence very plausibly argued, that
bv way of compensation, the temper
afure OF the months OF November,
Decem Der. January and February
will probably to the same or SIM
lar extent, rise above the average
