The venerable James Gardner died at his home
near OakdaIe Qafferty), on Thursday morning, the
9th inst. at o'clock, the same hour he was born
almost century ago. The funeral took place on
Friday, Rev. Hackett conducting the services
Brief remarks were also made concerning the
estimable character of the deceased. The pail
bearers were Messrs. d. H. Benson, Matthew Pat
terson, A. A Moore, Louis, Hare, Iaban Lodge,
and 7. Z. Boyd; funeral director, Jereme Ewing
Interment at NJ. E. cemetery, MOrristown. Had
Mr.. Gardner been spared until the 18th instant he
would have attained the age of 90 years. He was
born in Glasgow, Scotland and coming to Ameri-
ca spent number of years in the Eastern States
before coming to Ohio. Here he took up the pro-
fession of school teaching, and taught for many
years in this and immediate Localities, and many
of his pupils were gathered at his home to pay
their last tribute of respect. Many of them were
old men and middle age. He exceled in penman-
ship, writing hand equal to the best cOpperplate
engraving. His education was thorough, and he
proved successful teacher. In manner he was
courteous and he despised what was mineral, ,vul-
gar or obscene. Although confined to his home
for many years, he was extensively known through
out the county, and many kindly words and wishes
were expressed in his behalf. As a teacher and
friend the writer will always hold him in kindly
remembrance, and this paper will reach many Of
my classmates, who, had time permitted, would
have travelled miles to be present at his funeral.
Among those we might mention W. W. Armour,
Norfolk, Va; J. NJ. Rodgers, Wellsburg, W. Va.
and Barkley Cooper, Wheeling. Space will not
permit US to recount his many good qualities, and
all we can says is, Kind teacher, friend and neigh
bOr-hail and farewell
Mrs. Rebecca Ramage sold her PERSONAL proper
ty at public sale last week, and on Thursday re-
moved to jackson, Mich, where she will reside
with her daughter, Mrs. Mary Jackson The best
wishes of friends and neighbors will follow Mrs.
Ramage and family to their new homes, and it
was with regret that all bade them farewell. For
many years the family of VIM. Ramage has been
most favOrably known in this community, and a
feeling of sadness prevails when it is known that
the old home is now given up.
The friends of Mrs. Maggie Thompson, of this
vicinity, are glad to learn that she will be re-
stored to her usual health and strength.

IT appears that Mr.. Cleveland has
made stupendous blunder in appoint
ing James II. Eckels Comptroller of the
Currency The Office has always been
filed by trained men and able financiers,
while Eckels is an ignoramous as far as
the duties of the Office is concerned, and
further, this gentleman has the candor
to admit that he is entirely unacquainted
with the duties required of such an
officer. The Senate notified Mr.. Cleve-
land that Eckels probably would not be
confirmed, whereupon, it is said, Grover
got on his ear and cut up a great tantrum.

cises supervision over our entire National

IT is said that Pope Leo, who has been
found to be pope well adapted to the
last end of this XIXth century, will
soon send out a letter to his bishops,
asking them to enjoin on their flocks a
more profound study of the Scriptures,
and urging the necessity of keeping
in the track of the modern progress and
discovery, in order to adapt Catholicism
to the needs of the day" This is a
great change of front. The old Catho-
licism prohibited the general circulation
of the Bible, and taught that English
Bibles were not Bibles at all.
