Had Reason to Kill Himself.

VIM. Hartman, resident of Titus
vile, committed suicide few days
ago from a melancholy conviction
that he was his own grandfather.
Here Is the singular letter that he
left: II married widow who had
a grown-up daughter. My father
visited eur house very often, fell in
love with my step-daughter and mar
ried her. So my father became my
son.in-law, and my stcp-daughter
my mother because she was my faith
er's wife. Some time afterward my
wife had son--he was my fathers
brother-in-law and my uncle, for he
was the brother Of my step-mother.
My fathers wife, !. G., my step-daugh-
ter, had also son; be WAS of course
my brother, and in the mean time
my grandchild, for he was the son OF
my daughter My wife was my grand
mother, because she was my mothers
mother. / was my wife's husband
and grandchild at the same time.
And as the husband of a person s

NATURES GENTLEMAN.

Whom do we dub as gentleman? The
knave, the fool, the brute
If they but own full 1.-THE of gold, and
wear courtly suit;
The parchment scroll OF titled line, the
riband at the knee;
Can still suffice to ratify and grant such
high degree.
But nature with matchless hand, sends
forth her nobly born,
And laughs the paltry attributes OF
wealth and rank to scorn;
She molds with care, spirit rare, hall
human, half divine;
And cries, exulting, "who can make a
gentleman like mine ?"
She may not spend her greatest skill
about the outward part,
But showers beauty, grace, and light,
upon the brain and heart;
She may not shed ancestral fame his
pathway to illume--
The sun that filings the brightest ray
may rise from mist and gloom.
Should Fortune pour her welcome store
and useful gold abound,
He shares it with a bounteous hand, and
scatters blessing round.
The treasure sent, is rightly spent, and
serves the end designed,
When held by Natures gentleman, the
good, the just, the kind.
He turns not from the cherries home
where Sorrows offspring DWELL
He'll greet the peasant in his hut, the
culprit in his cell;
He stays to hear the widows plant, o
deep and mourning love;
He seeks to aid her lot below, ant
prompt her faith above.
The orphan child, the friendless one
the luckless or the poor,
Will never meet his spurning frown, no
leave his bolted door;
His kindred circles all mankind, hi
country all the globe
An honest name his jewelled star, anC
Truth his ermine robe.
He wisely yields his passions up to Rea
sons firm control
His pleasures are of harmless kind ant
never faint the soul.
lie may be thrown among the gay ant
reckless sons OF life
But will not love the revel scene, MOI
| = head the brawling strife.
He wounds no breast with jeer or jest
yet bears no honied tongue
He's social with the grey-haired one, ant
merry with the young.
He gravely shares the council speech
or joins the rustic game:
And shines as natures gentleman il
every place the same.
No naughty gesture marks his gait, M
pompous tone his word
No studied attitude is seen, no ribalt
gossip heand;
He II suit his bearing to the hour-laugh
listen, learn, or teach;
With joyous freedom in his mirth, anc
candor in his speech.
He worships God with inward zeal, ant
serves him in each deed:
He would not blame another's fault, no
have one martyr bleed;
Justice and Mercy form his code; h,
puts his trust in Heaven;
His prayer is, 'tIf the heart mean well
may all else be forgiven !"
Though few of such may gem the earth
yet such rare gems there are,
Each shining in his hallowed sphere a
virtues polar star.
Though human hearts too oft are fount
all gross, corrupt, and dark,
Yet, some bosoms breath and burn
lit by Promethean spark;
There are some spirits nobly just, I'm
warped by pelf or pride,
Great in the calm, but greater still whel
dashed by adverse tide
They hold the rank no king can give
no station can disgrace;
| Nature puts forth her Gentleman, ant
monarchs must give place.

SOCIETY In BIG CITIES
Famous Social Leaders to Tell Exactly
what it is Like.

The social life in our large cities
is one of the most fascinating studies
in the world. The women who com
prise it are naturally the most beau
tiful and the most brilliant of their
sex. Never have we, however, seen
this whirl of society through the eyes
of those who are its leaders. We have
seen it from the outside, as it we're,
but now we are to have glimpses of
it from the inside. During ! 1872, The
Ladies' Home journal will give its
readers these glimpses in series of
interesting articles under the title
"Social Life at Six Centres" Mrs.
Burton Harrison, the author of "The
Anglomaniacs'' is TO write of Social
Life in New York." and none can
speak Of il with so much authority
as she who is one o. its social lead
ers. Mrs. Admiral Dahlgren will
portray Washington Society,"" and
Mrs. Annie de Koven, daughter OF
Senator Farwell, will write of "Social
Life IN Chicago" Then Boston, Phil
adelphia and San Francisco will fol
low These articles will tell exactly
what social life in "a great city means,
how dinners are arranged and given
how the women dress and act; the
etiquette of the best parlors; what
the daily life Of society woman
means; how girls are introduced into
the social swim and make their debut,
and the other hundred and one things
which are most interesting to read
and know about in social life and
warfare. The Journal series will be
"a spIendid one. without question, and
viii give thousands a new idea Of
what Il means TO be ''in society," in
tho largest cities Of our land.

David Bartram, farmer living
near Cassville, Wayne county. wit
messed the death of tive OF his infant
children last Saturday night. The
family had gone to church about two
miles distant, leaving three of the
smallest children at home to keep
house The little ones retired very
early and were sound asleep. Near
eight o'clock the largest of the three
was awakened by a rafting noise
which caused it to get up. On ex-
animation it was found that the
house had caught fire in the kitchen
and the flames were rapidly eating
up the building The first thing the
eldest child thought of doing was to
warn papa and mamma of what had
happened. Little thinking of the
danger its little brothers were in the
child at once set out for the church
in its nights clothes. On arriving at
the church the child ran breathless-
ly into the crowd and told its pitiful
story 10 the parents, who at once set
out for their once beautiful home,
which by this time was wrapped In
flames. On arriving at the home it
was too late. The cries that went
up from the family as they stood by
and saw their darling little ones
burning to death were heartrending.
Such sight can hardly be imagin
ed. All that could be done was to
rake from the burning ruins the
charred bodies of the children. SO
excited were the attendants at the
church that all left at once for the
place.
The remains of the children were
gathered up as well as could be done,
and were inferred in the family
burying grounds Sunday. The loss
will probably reach $4,000. Moth
ing was saved from the house.

All the talk About those Marion County
Omlcials False.
Fairmont Index

For some months past grave
charges have been quietly circulated
to the effect that two members Of
our Court and two other officials Of
this county had been guilty Of cor
ruption in office in relation to the
granting of license to sell spirituous
liquors in Fairyiew, and the reports
have riled the people o. the county
in general and the Democratic party
in particular. The gentlemen accus-
ed, we mean the officials, had up to
that time borne good regulations,
had been entrusted with positions Of
honor, profit and trust and it was
hard for the people to believe that
they had betrayed the confidence
imposed in them. The gentlemen
accused have at all times denied
most bitterly that anything wrong
had heen done or that the interest Of
the county had suffered in any mat
ter. The Inder has RETAINED from
making any comments on this mat
ter, partly because it could not find
any one responsible for the charge,
but chiefly because it was promised
that the whole story would come out
at the present term of the Court. In
his charge to the Grand Jury, Judge
Hagans, at the instance of the Pros
ecuting Attorney, as he publicly
stated, called the attention of the
Grand Jury to the matter and asked
them to investigate it. A large
number of witnesses were summoned
to give evidence on that subject, and
every person who was supposed 10
know any fact that would throw
any light upon the subject was
called in and examined. After
giving this matter a thorough
investigation the Grand Jury ad-
journed without finding an indict-
ment against any one.
Being anxious to know the result
of the investigation the Inder inter
viewed one of the leading members
of the Grand Jury and inquired as
to the result This gentleman's
word would be taken anywhere ON
any occasion, and while as rule he
said he was opposed to talking
about anything that TRANSFERRED in
the Grand Jury room, yet as this
matter was one Of public Importance
he thought it would be well for the
public to know the information OBJ
tanned by the Grand Jury. This
gentleman told us that a number of
witnesses were examined, and after
hearing all the facts the Grand Jury
reached the unanimous conclusion
that nothing had been proven upon
which they could find an indictment;
that nothing had been shown that in
the slightest way Indicated any cor
ruption by an official; that there was
not particle of evidence showing
or tending to show that any official
had been offered or, had received,
any money to influence his acts in
this matter
This action of the Grand Jury
was unanimous, and the fact that
the jury was about equally divided
politically shows that politics had
nothing to do with the decision
reached. The foregoing is a true
statement Of the facts as they were
related to u.s.

Hon. Charles F. Crisp, the speaI

Hon. Charles F. Crisp, the Speak
err of the Fifty-second House Of Rep
resentatives entered the Confederate
army at the outbreak of the war, en-.
listing in the first company organic
ed in Page county, Va. He was then
about sixteen years old. Notwith-
standing his youth, he was elected a
lieutenant of his company. At Har-
per's Ferry in May 1861, the Tenth
Virginia Regiment was formed, the
Page company becoming company
X, with assignment next to compa-
ny B, first or the right.
J. B. Oder, editor of the Frostburg
Mining Journal, was "high pri-
vate" in CompanyB, and remembers
we'll the fair, smooth face of the
youthful lieutenant. The Tenth
Regiment was one of Stonewall
Jackson's great contingent Of ''foot
cavalry" and did heroic service from
the first to the last of the war.
Crisp figured as one of the bravest
and best officers. He stood by his
colors until May II, 1864, when the
regiment, then holding the "bloody
angle" at Spottsylvania c. H., was al
most annihilated by mortality and
capture in resisting General Han
cocks terrific and successful front
and flank assault upon that point.
Crisp became prisoner, was taken
to Fort Delaware and held until the
war was over.
