THE finger of God touched her and she fel
asleep. .'-TeRnySOH.
Mrs. Mary Trimble Henderson "fel
asleep" on Thursday morning last. an(
on Saturday she was laid in the grave t
await the resurrection. 4 Iad4. Dur
and good, and tFue-what more coulC
be said? Loving hands prepared hel
for the tomb, sweet flowers she loved sc
well were placed within the casket, and
with sad hearts and fearful eyes, a long
concOurse of friends and neighbors fol,
lowed her to the brink of the grave, but
they could go no farther. They tarried
but she passed on from the night side
of the grave unto the side of morning,
where the glory celestial shines on the
portal. Thanks be to God tha. man Is
immortal. On the glorious Easter morn,
when the sunlight gilds the hillocks of
clay in the ''city of the dead" the strick-
en- ones can lift up their voices and Join
in the anthem: "For Christ died and
was laid in the grave; but now he is
risen! Alleluia forever!"
Rev. Patterson has not yet responded
to the call of the u. p. congregation of
this place, but hopes are entertain
ed that he will accept. Rev. DIR.
Campbell, of New Athens, preached
from the pulpit of the L. p. Church on
Sabbath. For many years he was pas
tor of this congregation, and all were
glad to hear a sermon from him again.
On Sabbath, while Mr.. John Watson
was attending services at Unity Church,
some person unlOOSed his horse and
rode it from that place to the banks of
the creek east of town, where it was left
to wander off or find its way home as
best it might. Mr.. Humphrey took it
to his stable and cared for it until
claimed by the owner. Mr. w. came up
on Monday for it, and if he continues
in the same mood the person who took
the little ride will feel more tired than
if he had confined his journey afoot.
Mr.. Watson says that the rider was seen
and known, and that if he don't call
round to settle his livery bill he will
likely send some one to call on him.
There was considerable hail here du-
ring the storm on Friday evening, but not
much wind. We learn that the resi-
dence of Mr.. Leonard Anderson was
badly injured, and Pleasant Hill school |
house destroyed. The tornado had such |
force as to strip the bark from the she'll
bark hickories which stood in its path.
Abner Lodge, of this vicinity. has his
property held down by four thousand
lollar tornado policy. ''Be wise TO-DAY,

The improvement Company, of West
Va, are doing great and good work,
md they have well begun by improving
he names of streams and localities.
The pOetical "Jonathan's Gut" has very
ecently been changed to JOnathan's
3avine. Such names as Horseneck,
3ulltown, Cow Creek, Big Skin Creek,
harrow Bones Creek, &C., &c, are at
ractive and pretty, but they won't wash.
ou can dig up any kind of a name in
Vest Virginia.
