Hist ther is one ot the comm-ssonersrs roads, reve nues and bridges of *v arren. Several years since G. W. F. was very dis¬ sipated. but after his marriage to* Miss Dosia Cody he got to he a sober, steady benedict, and united with the Baptist church.

He has not been seen since he walked away from the scene of the murder. -----■—a - HE DIED WELL. Only a few months ago Judge Black of P tisylvania utterly anui.il ated the infidel theories of Ingersol in an article published in the North American Review. Ho had lived the life of a chriitian, and when he advocated the pure Principles of chrisrianity, he was seeking to make manifest t» o hms the existence of their divine origin already made clear to his own consciousness. His lan guage and argument were sublime. He was never clearer or more poiu^ ted; and as thinker and a writer he has never had a superior among the, American people. He died last week, lie had been a great statesman and jurist, but the grandeur ot has char¬ acter was never more apparent than while in the conscious presence of immediate death. Here is the egraphiu account, of tho closing scene S1 > lt '> ! et r * J ' Blat ' k f ’ 1 Iie said to hiS -wile: “Haw enn I T tear to cross tlie daric river when my falh el . vaits for me on the the. shore; and added: “ Would I was as comfortab e atiout alt I leave behind unfinished in tins world.’’ and then breathed tiie following lamest players n 0b, thus beioved and most merciful lieav.. eiilv father, from whom I had my being and in whom I have ever trus ted if it be thy will, grant that my sufferings end and that I speedily called home to thee; and bless and comfort thus my Mary.” Can the infidai lagers ol thus face death with confidence and prap-r for the comfort of his bereaved and and disconsolate wife. --—«=E£r ANTONY ANI) CLEOPATRA. i I am dying, Egypt, dying.
