INTO the sanctums of the .Kil7Or and
Journal, one Democratic and the
other Republican organ, but both
of which are beyond a doubt alive to
the interest of their town and coun-
ty, and yet loyal and patriotic to
the politics they avow. The pro-
rrietors of each gave us warm re-
ception and some important news
relative to the financial status and
prosperity of the various enterprises.

tend our grateful kindness for their

The first thing that attracted our at
tention on entering the city was the
many evidences of destruction oc-
casloned by recent fires, in which
whole blocks of buildings were con-
sumed and here ana there a number
of buildings that stood alone. We
learned that with the aid of detec
tive forces some of the fire-bugs
have been identified and indicted,
and are now waiting their trials and
meet the just demand CT the law
which we trust will be inflicted in
its fullest extent.

HIGHEST of american Peaks,

"Tke highest mountain in Ameri-
ca" must now be changed from Mt.
St. Elias to Mt. WraDgle, q little to
the north Of the former peak. Several
OF these mountains hare been newly
measured. Moant Hood, once
roughly" estimated at 10000 feet,
then closely at 16, ,000, was brought
down by trisngnlatlon to $4,000.
An aneroid barometer made 1T l2.-
900, and mercurial barometer
made it 1f,225. Monnt st. Elias
estimated by D'Egelot at l2,612
feet, was triangulatcd by Mr.. Baker
at 13, 500. 1t now appears that
Mount Wrangle rises l8,400 feet
above Cooper river, which is IN turn
2 900 feet above the sea level at that
point. If this holds good Mount
Wrangle IS good 1000 feet higher
than any other peak in North Ameri-
ca and has the distinction of being
within the United States besides.

HEPsY.

The assertion made by Clarkson
in a recent speech that the Demo-
Gratis were leading in newspapers and
periodicals has attracted the atten.
ton of staticlans, and after coupling
all facts the statement is found just
as stated. The daily circulation Of
Republican papers is l, 800, 900, DEM
ocratic, 2,500,00O. The Democrats
have weekly circulation of 4,250,-
600, and monthly magazines with
circulation of 425 900 while in this
class less than 100000 circulation
supports the Republicans, while of
independent papers, daily, weekly
and monthly, as rule, they are in
clined to Democratic doctrine. The
leaders are white persons, and when
this Is considered it shows a great
preponderanee of white Democratic
voters in the Union.

death was 20 years, z months
and 16 davs of age. He wa
married in the year 1850 to Mis-

During The most Of his life Mr.
Wright was a sufferer with ply.
sical affection, and for the last
five years his sufferings were
greatly aggravated and severely
distressing. But in all his af-
flictions lie ever manifested a pa
iient and submissive spirit. His
life was that of a Christian. He
delighted in the word of the
Lord, and his faith was an ex-
ponenI Of the Scriptures which
he so diligently searched.
He made a public profession
of his faith in Christ and united
with the Presbyterian church in
Logan. o, June Is, 1872. And,
he was a diligent enquirer after
the truth in Gods house, as con
slant attendant upon divine SER
vices as his feeble physical con-
dition would admit.
Al his home Mr.. Wright sought
religious conversation with my.
self al my calls aud let no calls
pass without a request for devo
lions. gathered enough from
conversation with him to under.
stand that he believed implicit
ly in The sovereign rule and pur.
pose of God respecting all his
and TO the influence OF
that truth he submitted his hear,
and life. There survives him his
wife. a son, Daniel w. Wright,
of Logan, o.. a daughter, Mrs.
