D. Jenkins, and for whose life so many men are now pleading before the governor. thk HISTOUT OF t«* kuxpexx*. About the first of last September a tall, athletic, open-faced fellow came into Mari etta in the quest of work. He stood over six feet in hb stockings, and was a splendid physical specimen of a man. He gave hb name as George Brown, but gave nothing of hb history previous to the time of hb reaching Marietta. He was not so much reticent when questioned as he was without acquaintances, and consequently had no one trying to pry Into hb past life. He secured work in*shop,and was soon pretty well known as a good workman, but not a very steady one. He drifted into the crime for which he b undersentence in a peculiar manusr. There was living in the country near Marietta an old couple named Jenkins, who Lad a son, Daniel. Thb son was, it is said, married and living in Atlauta. He b represented as being a worthless kind of fellow, and wi arrested and carried before Judge Clark's court on the charge of cheating and swind ling. He was convicted and sent to the chain-gang. He escaped from the custody of the keeper, and skipped the county. He was heard of frequently In the neighbor hood of where hb parents lived, and finally Brown determined to kee if he could not arrest him and get the reward that was of fered for hb recapture. He therefore called on the sheriff'and asked if lie had the right to make the arrest without having a warrant or without being specially deputized to do so. The sheriff replied that he would, but ordered him to wait a few days and see if it was all right "before he went into it. In a few days the sheriff I have just receiv- met him and said, 44 you was right about that man;’* and added, . mi Atlanta aavti escaped convict, and Asking me to ar rest him.’ Thereupon Brown determined to go and catch bis tuau. He secured a horse and wagon and drove out to where Jenkins lived. As he drew near the house he stopped hb wagon, got a negro to hold hb horse, and went to the Iiouse by himself. When be had reached the door he hoard the sound of a violin within. He entered sud denly and found himself FACE TO FACE WITH THE MAW as trying to arrest. Daniel was sitting trunk, and his father and mother were standing near by. As Brown entered, ne shut the door behind him hastily and locked it. As lie turned the old man asked him to sit down. He replied: "No; I want ‘ see Daniel.” At thb point the only two accounts of the tragedy differ. Mrs. Jenkins, the mother of the slain man, (and it wa* her testimony that was taken by the jury) says that Brown entered the room with his pistol in his band, holding it out in front of bin he entered, Daniel jumped out of the win dow. Brown ran hurriedly out of the house and met Daniel as he was standing half hidden on the west end of the house. He called ont: ‘I am going to shoot you!” At thb Daniel pui to beg: "Oh, don't; don’t!” and she, —e mother, screansci!, "Lord liave mercy!” Almost instantly Brown, who Was standing with hb pistol near Daniel’s head, fired, and Daniel fell. She says her son was looking towards her when he was shot, holing his hands out in a beseeching way. As he fell she ran out and lifted 1 been unable to learn. Winter Rule*. Albany Argus.

He was certainly a witness of the affair, ant' * * by either ing more of the killing than any living per son except the participants, he was not called od to say one word by either side. Why he wes not brought into the witness- box most remain one of the curiosities of thb queer case. THE STATE OF FEELING Cobb county was intense. The governor stated that he had neve/ seen just such a popular excitement before. It seemed that the whole people had risen and determined that nothing must be left undone to save Brown’s life. Judge Lester said that the ladies were a< General Phillii As head i wards and told uer to shut her mouth. He then called for a bandage and commenced running his fiuger into the gliastly wound in the head. A bandage was brought, and Brown tied up Jenkins’s head. He wanted to carry the wounded man off with him, bnt finally desisted and left alone. Help was summoned, but Jenkins died soon after. Brown went into town and gave himself up to the sheriff The above was the state ment of the old lady, to which she stoutly adhered during the whole trial. It was opposed simply by Brown’s own statement, in which he saiu that as he ad vanced on Jenkins outside of the house, Jenkins started to rush on him. and ex claiming, "G—dd—n you, I will kill you!” put his hand in hb pocket as if he was go ing to draw a weapon. At this Brown says he fired quickly in self-defense, and Jen kins fell. These were the two statements. There were two circumstances that bore agaiust Brown, and these were that Jenkins was shot in the back of the head, ur d toe other was that he had no wea|*>n on his in when lie fell. At any rate, tbe jury Mrs. Jenkins’s statement as true, and Brown was found guilty of murder. THIS CONVICTION WAS MADE within a few days of the murder, when there was considerable prejudice existing. Since then, the liearing of the prisoner, the devel- ?nt of certain facts, and the mystery hung about hb former life—all com bined to excite an unusual interest in him. As those who became interested investiga ted the case, they say they found that the man was about to be unjustly hung. They thereupon determined to try to save him. The pnsouer did not have a dollar, and no liopes of any. He would not disclose the tlie name of hb people, or their where abouts, and consequently could look for no aid. Everything tliat was done in hb.favor, therefore, was purely voluntary.* At length, the feeling iu the 6>mmunity de veloped into the sending of the heavy dele gation of petitioners aud lawyers down to tbe governor on Wednesday. TUb delegation went to work in a most systematic way aud built up a case wonder fully strong, and entirely different from the case presented to the jury. Iu the first place they broke down Mrs. Jenkins’s testi mony. To do this tbev introduced Rev. A. G. Dempsey, who declared that he would not believe her on oath. He gave certain information in regard to her diameter that had fallen under hb personal knowledge—one of which was tliat she tried to get him to marry hersoii toa woman in Cobb county while he had a wife living in AtlantA Mr. John H. way introduced, who swore that Mr. s told him that from the position hb wife occupied at the time of the killing it was impossible for her to have seen t* shooting—or to have heard what ]o*sed. Mr. Frank E. Block, of tlib city, was then introduced and stated tliat some time ago this Daniel Jenkins came to his house early one morning, weeping profusely and in a stale of the most abject misery. He told Mr. Block that lib baby had just died, and that he did uot have the money with which to BUT IT A SHItorD OB A COFFIN, and asked Mr. Block to lend him enough for this purpose. Mr. Block did so, and then ng down town, discovered that the man I never had any child, and. of course, did not need money to buy a coffin with. He had him arrested for cneatingand swindling. On tlie trial, hb mother came to Atlanta and swore in the most positive manner that her son wss with her in Cobb county on the day he was alleged to have been* at M r. Block's. Thb testimony was flatly dis proved by Mr.-Block, and by one or two policemen who knew Jenkins well,and who had seen biia in Atlanta on that day. In the last place, they produced* a dia gram to show that it was iraj«o3*il>le for Mrs. Jenkins to have seen the ahooiiug. The diagram was as follows: H !i„ n s talk with Professor Beck proved that t!»ere will be no want of energy in maintain ing and improving an institution which b of tbe greatest value to north Georgia and to he eutire state. It b hoped that in July the legislature will make amp e provision for refitting tbe college, aud thy the excellent corps of pro fessors may find means to continue the work without interruption, though they doubtless labor under great disadvantages in their temporary quarters. Professor Beck expects to be at hb post again by tbe 1st of February. We wish him grfeat success in hb mission, and believe tliat he will meet with generous sympathy among all friends of education and science.

Sheriff Stevens zays that asking about hb power b rest Jenkins, Brown was quite |*orticu- lar as to hb rights in the premises. He seemed to be anxious to keep within tlie law. He declined to take a pistol out firm, saying that be would have no trouble, and could hold him if he tried to get sway. At length he look the pistol just as a manner of intimidation in case a display of force as needed. Mr. Stevens savs that be has no idea Brown meant to kill Jenkii thinks Brown just drew hb pistol, and —H ,, when Jenkins started-to rush on him raised it himself and fired without thinking. He accounts for tbe wound being in the back of tbe head by lb« presumption that Jen kins turned hb head when be saw the pis tol. It was proved also that tbe acquaintance between tbe men was purely nominal, and that there could have been no feeling of malice or enmity. Brown discussed with the sheriff the best method of prisrner while in the nad finally determined tc bv pinning him down with hb _ He told the sheriff thb before going. As it was proved that he vras not drinking, and had no malice, and no purpose to k 11, or object in killing, it was held that it was evidently not hb intention to kill Jenkins, sad that it was dooe cither accidental* through a feel ing of self-defense.

Mr. Chuck Anderson told a similar tale of distress, and said that there .were five hundred people who would have come down yesterday had not a dispatch from Judge Lester quieted them. Tlie tele- omce was besieged all day, until _ Lester telegraphed Sheriff Stevens to suspend the preparations to hang Brown, the way, a queer story is told the attempt to build the gallows. The sheriff offered a carpenter a certain sum to make it. A gentleman immediately stepped up and offered him double the sum not to make it. It would have been difficult to have carried out tlie death sentence had the governor determined not to interfere. We understand it had been determined to call the local militia out, but calliug don’t always fetch, for Alice attempted ta "call spirits from the „ Jeep.” Thefeelin intense in Cobb, and wl doubtless bare been carried out if it had been so ordered, it must have been a lively time in MariettA TUB OOVEENOE DETERMINED TO COMMUTE.

The Gainesville Eagle gives a long account a disastrous fire which occurred in tliat city Wednesday night. We give the fol lowing condensed statement of this fire, which was truly a GREAT CALAMITY one of the moat prosperous little cities in the state: Our beautiful city was visited on Wednes day night by the fire fiend in all his fury and dire destruction followed in his path. The night was cold, and damp and peaceful citizens were sleeping soundly, uudisiurbed by any thought or fear of the dread calami ty tliat way impending, when about the hour of three o'clock in tlie morning the dreadful cry of fire sounded on the air and soon after the bells gave forth the alarm in t^nes which aroused every man, woman and child in the city. At first it was almost impossible to tell the exact location of the fire but soon a lurid light and heavy smoke » seen issuing from the building, known tlie Candler-Henderaon building, one of tbe best in the city, on the north side of the square. Above the store in the second story there were five or six law offices, the printing office of the North Georgian, the tailor shop of Mr. J. F. Schaub and the sleeping room of Mr. J. O. Wynn. From all we can gath- of the beginning of the fire, Mr. Wviin was about the first person aroused, by the heat and smoke coming into hb room 'from tbe burning store below. When he got out of bed tlie floor was so hot that he could not stand on it, and barely had time to her up his clothiug from a chair by the . bide and rush out of the room. Heroic and persevering work triumphed, however, and the destruction way stayed with the burning of the five buildings before men- ‘oned. with the larger part of the contents. We ha\ e not beeu able to get an entirely correct estimate of all the losses, nor the amount of insurance each person had, but believe the following will approximate the result: Mr. W. G. Henderson, three brick build ings, $4,009. No insurance. Colonel A. D. Candler, brick building, $2,500, Insurance, $1,000. Mr. A. J. Comer, stock of goods, $3,500. Insurance, $1,000. Mr. L. H. Johnson, stock of goods, $2,500. Insured in full. Mrs. II. N. Ware, millinery, etc., $150. Mr. J. T. Hargrove, frame store-room and stock of goods, $4,000. Insurance, $1,000, and some goods saved. ,. Redwiue & Co., part of stock of goods, $500. No insurance. MarlerA Perry, law office, library and *.i w.:—urauce. _ ks, papers and cloth ing. $400. No insurance. George K. Loo per, law office, books and papers, $300. No insurance. W. E. Stevens, books and papers, $40. James M. Towery, law office, books and itierc, $300. No insurance. J. N. Dorsey and estate of Judgj Rice, law book* and paper:', $2,000. No insurance. John Blau*, North Georgian printing office, $800. No insurance. J. F. Schaub, tailor shop, clothing, etc., $300. No insurance. Dr. Bradley, J. F. Langston and others, $1,000 damages. This is the third time in less than three years tliat our city has been a loser by fire and it certainly shows that we need some better fire apparatus than the little hook and ladder wagon now in use. flnfTerinit ter a Life Time.

G*., January 11.—Our usually quiet town was. on Thursday morning, thrown into I fever of excitement by the announcement of the killing of John N. Wilson at the raw-mill of B. G. Lindsay A Co., about three miles above here on the Air-Line railway. The circumstances of the homicide are, as near as we can ascer tain, about as follows: There was a certain Mrs. Smith who did the cooking for the white hands of the mill, and who lived in one end of a double bouse built of logs, the other being used as a commissary for the mill. M. S. Garner, one of the partners in the mill, and James B. Garrison, the sawyer, believed that Mra. Smith bad been stealing from the commis sary and set about to devise a plan by which she might be got rid of without trouble. As Mr. IJiidray. the other partner, had the utmost confidence in the honesty of Mrs. Smith, and would notallow her discharged, they had to RESORT TO STRATAGEM. The deceased, Mr. Wilson, was the fire man at the mill and was sleeping iu the commissary on the night of the tragedy. The plan was that Garrison should go to the back window of the room occupied by Mrs. Smith, with some cans of oysters and a hat, while Garner was to arouse Wilson and tell him some one was in Mrs. Smith’s room and have him go to the backw in- dow where Garrison was waitini when Garrison upon the appruacl : his «- j—and en route, while Gamer was to halt Garrison and fire his pistol in the air to create the impression that he was a genuine thief. It seems that Wilson approached Garrison sooner |han was expected, and struck Garrison with a stick on the arm and shoulder of Ahe hand in which he held the pistol, and in Garrison’s haste to get away the pistol was discharged, the ball entering wjlson’s left breast. going downward ' through the heart, and killing him almost instantly. Mr. Gamer fired his pistol as Garrison passed, and sup posed Wuson would join him in the pur suit, when, to liissurprise, upon returning he found him dead. He immediate!v aroused M^s. Smith, Miles and Lankersly, two white gentlemen in a shanty near by, and gave tne alarm, and went to the shanty of Garrison, where he found him in bed as it was agreed between them he should be, when Wilson and Gamer should return from chasing the supposed thief. He im mediately told Garrison what he had done, when in loud lamentations he gave vent to his feelings of regret and sorrow for the act. They then repaired to the place of homicide, earned the body ioto tlie house and laid it out as best they could, and sent as soon as day light for the coroner and justice of tlie peace in order that the proper legal steps might be taken in the premises. When the jus tice arrived Mr. Garrison immediately gave himself up and was placed in custody. THE INQUEST was held on the body of the deceased yes terday, and the iury returned a verdict that Wilson came to his death by a pistol shot in the hands of Garrison, and a farther verdict that he was willfully and maliciously killed and murdered by the said Garrison, with Gamer as principal in the second degree. The coroner thereupon issued his warrant against the said Garrison and Gamer for murder. Sheriff Suddeth, of Banks, being upon tlie ground, they were imme diately placed in his charge. They were this morning brought before J. P. Echols, J. P.. and by Arnold, of counsel, waived ex amination and gave bond in the sum of five hundred dollars each to ap]>ear at tlie next superior court of Banks county to answer the charge involuntary manslaughter. J. B. Estes conducted the examination on the ;<ir; of the Mate, and W. P. Price and \V. F. Findley representing tbe defense, itap- pears that Wilson was not let into the plot of Gamer and Garrison, for the reason tliat Lindsay Itad the utmost confidence in -jtion seeing a thief.run from the'window, and would then be convinced of her dishonesty and send tier adrilt Mr. Wilson was a sober, high-toned. Christian gentleman, and they feared if their plan was made known to him lie would not go into it. and by ini|»os- . _ oulil, iu the utmost good faith, tell Lindsay what he saw. Mr. Wil son was highly respected in the community, and leaves a wife and nine children to mourn his loss. Garrison resides in Atlanta, where his family now are, and is a hard-working man. Gamer lives in Buford, and tor high character and Christian integ rity no man siuihLy fairer. The affair Hay cast a gloom over the whole community. The deceased and Garrison and Gamer were the closest pet»u«k(d friends, and they more deeply regret the occurrence than any oth ers possibly could and will probably never cease to mourn the fate of their friend, bom they innocently caused to come to his untimely eud.

These are "Young America” times and men cannot live (as did Methuselah) and buy goods on long time and sell them on longer. To compete with these times we must know the require ments of the country. Hank out the mid dle-men, buy our goods from first hands and then be willing to exchange our invest ments for a small profit. Some merchants buy their goods and mark them to sell at 33 per cent, profit oi no sale. Well, they will have to do an im mense deal of talking, and if they live long enough to get it they will need the lungs of an alligator, and have to get an iron consti tution made by a blacksmith. Hence 1 am determined to stick to my small protit plan and at all times be found running on the inside track. Others may imitate me bnt none can compete with my goods aud prices.

Richmond, January 11.—The house to day, after three days discussion, adopted the senate resolution providing for a con ference with the creditors of the state. The preamble, however, way amended so as to set forth the impracticability of increA«ing the present rate of taxation’in the further ance of any plan of settlement to be de cided on by said conference, but expressing an anxiety to do all consistent with what is believed to be the iuteresi of the state and her creditors, and to adjust the differences existing between the proposition made by the general Assembly at tbe last session and several propositions pow before that body . - . ingt farming season m the south begins early in February, and the rush of emigrants has been greater for the last few weeks on that account A colony of about a dozen fam ilies, mostly from Brooklyn, is to start for western Texas next week. Along the line of the Florida railroad from Femandina and Cedar Keys is a broad tract of land which is being settled t by people from the north. Most lands in this tract are owned by the Florida land and immigration company, of which Edward N. Dickerson, of this city, is the president Agents for the company in the north sell land to emigrants by means of warrants, and settler? have the privilege of selecting their own farms from any of the company’s lands which are unoccupied. Nearly two hundred families have gone to these lands from the port of New York since last autumn. Of these many were residents of this city, but the majorii v went from other portions of the state. In con versation with a reporter recently, B* T. Smith, the northern agent of the company, said: •‘Thereare three classes of person who m from the north to live in Florida. 1 hugest is the laboring class—the thrifty workingmen who have saved sonic money, bat who do not see any chance of baying homes of their own in a northern city. They go to Florida, buy a small farm at the rate of $L25 an acre, and begin to raise veg etables. Many of them live in tents until they can build houses. The mildness of tbe climate allows them to do thb very comfortably. Before 'long they will have nice houses and barrts. surrounded with orange groves. Another large ejass is composed of persons in moderate circumstances, who have been crowded out of business in the city. They take with them enough money to purchase farms and build houses. The third class is composed of persons of considers le mea s, who go to plant largo orange groves or to live in a inild climate. Consumptives and persons who suffer from rheumatism find the climate of Florida congenial to their health. Wealthy men who have traveled in Florida qften re turn there to live and to cultivate large farms.” The large areas of rich but uncultivated land in Texas attract many northern fam ilies. The fields, over which great herds of wild cattle roam, are capable of being transformed into fruitful farms. The sou is much mor$ fertile than that of northern lands, and the climate is not only favorable for the raising of every kind of farm pro duce, but it is also healthful and pleasant Land is ay cheap as it is abundant The building of railroads through the state and the formation of land and farm associations have placed the hitherto undevelojted re sources of Texas within the reach of north ern workingmen. The International and Great Northeastern railroad company offers various inducements to immigrants who settle on lands in western Texas along the line of its road. The immigrants’ home, at Palestine, is under the control of the comi>any and is intended ay an expensive boarding-place for families while husbands and tv there are looking about for permanent homes. The company has agents in this city who direct families to Texas and aid them in the search for farms. Many fami lies who have gone from New York over this road have settled on lands which are rented by Texas lond owners. The terms of rent ing lands in Texas are such as to give to in dustrious poor men opportunities for earn ing farms of theia own. When the landlord furnishes the land and improvements only, and the ten ant the tools, team and provisions, the landlord receives one-fourth to one-third of the orop. When everything necessary to making the crop is furnished by the land lord he receives one-half of the profits. The ‘Texas farm association” rents lands on these terms, and the agent of the association in this city has sent about 150 families to Texas since last summer. These families were all advised to take with them os much their household furniture ns possible. __miliar articles, it is said, would keep children from becoming homesick. Special reductions in the cost of sending furniture to Texas was made to settlere. The Galveston, Harris burg and' San Antonio Railroad company offers lands for sale in southern and western Texas. A system of yearly payments, after the first year, has been adopted os one most convenient for poor settlers. The western immigration'and agricultural assocUuion, which has its office iu this city, is offering homes iu New Mexico along the line of a projected railway. Monthry pay ments for farms are being made by work ingmen in this city, who intend to move os soon as the railroad is completed. From careful surveys which have been made by the association, the purchaser of a form is able to select his piece of land before he leaves the city. The association also engages to fence these farms, build houses on them and provide them with cattle and farming implements during the time that the pay ments are being made. A farm of twenty acres, provided with everything except household furniture, is sold in this manner for $200. The number of workingmen i this city who are availing themselves of this method of ' * * of an old rubbish stock of winter goods in the priug? Not a hit of it. They expect new and fashionable goods in their season. And now that we are in the midst of winter and need heavy goods to protect as from the cold, as well as adorn and ornament our persons, I thiuk this is the proper time to offer inducements in prices (when the peo ple need the goods). I am therefore de termined for tlie next sixty days to offer my entire stock at figures much under former prices. I will thank you to send for sam ples, or call and give my stock an examina tion and bear the prices; then you will be convinced that what I say about "reduciny prices” and "cheap goods” is true.

New York Tribune. Every year, while hundreds of persons . are leaving country homes to help swell the I tide of city life, many families are going 1 away from New York and Brooklyn to seek I homes in distant and newly settled portions 1 of the country. Travel to the west and to several of the southern states has become so general that it would be difficult to esti mate the number of persons who search for permanent residence there. To the great southwest and to Florida emigration is accomplished mainly, as vet, through land and agricultural associations. Un usual activity has been noticed among these associations recently, and the number of their customers is increasing rapidly. The steamships to Florida and Texas and the railroad fines to western Texas carry small colonies of workingmen and their families, who go to cultivate wild lands or to engage in cattle-raising. Consumptive persons are going to the far south to seek a healthful climate, and merchants who find their busi ness profitless or uncongenial are going to orange groves, families have GOOD STANDING FORWARD COMES And Testifies Under Oath to the Fact of His Deliverance from Bondage, AID IS NOW ATTENDING TO HIS DAILY BUSINESS, And is a Happy and Prosperous Man I City of Atlanta, Stats of Ga., Fulton Co. To all whom it may concern: The following is a true statement of facts concerning my case and its treatment by Major B. M. Woolley, of Atlanta, Ga., viz; In 18G6 I was severely wounded, and un der treatment the physicians gave me mor phine constantly. The result was that it became necessary for me to continue the use of opium thereafter, although I tried faithfully to break the habit by decreasing the dose. Being a physician of thirty-five set pi the use of opiates. I tried half ledies without the slightest bene- rer of will and the freo its, I struggled to keep the habit from growing stronger, but with out success. I became a mere walking skeleton, weighing but 109 pound in Janu ary, 1878. Tlie quantity of opiates that I consumed daily is said to be greater than any one else has ever been known to take, and is so ex traordinary that I have written this state ment after a careful estimate, and verified the same under oath, in order that any per son interested may know that this is not a patent medicine certificate, gotten np for advertisement, regardless of truth, but a genuine, reliable statement for the benefit of other sufferers. For six months before I began Wool ley’i antidote, I used morphine and hydrate of chloral alternately as follows: Thirty (30) grains of morphine in the morning. One hundred (100) grains hydrate of chloral at noon. Thirty (30) grains of morphine at sun down. One hundred (100) grains of chloral about ten o’clock. next morning. Sixty (60) grains of morphine. Fifty (50) grains of chloral at noon. Sixty (GO) grains of morphine at sun down. Fifty (50) grains of chloral about ten o’clock. Amounting in all to one hundred and eighty (180) grains of morphine and three hundred 1300) grains of chloral in forty- eight (48) hours. I way obliged to augment the action of the morphine with tlie chloral in this irregular manner for the reason that the morphine lost its soporific effect if taken in regular doses for two consecutive days. It has been eight months since i bc- the opium antidote; from the firht day [•eased to desire opiates of any kind; I experienced uo |«in nor inconvenience. I have not taken opiates of any kind since January 7th, but simply ad hered to the antidote, until about ’four weeks ago, when I left off the treatment without the slightest difficulty. I don’t de sire either opiate or antidote, have no han kering or uneasiness—in fact, I seldom think of either. I am completely cured.

Captain Whitley was bom in North Carolina, August 5th, 1821. and removed at au early age, with his parents, to DeKalb county. Georgia. While yet a young man he married Miss Mary Riee, of Campqell county, and settled near Campbell ton. Georgia, where he resided until three years since, when he removed to Dougiaa- ville. Early in the lato war ho went into the army as Captain of a Company In the 35th Geor gia Regiment, and remained at his post of duty until declining health compelled him to resign his commission and come home. He has for yean held a promient position in the local affairs of his county, having been several times elected to the Sheriffalty, which position ho held at the time of his death. The duties ot every position to which his people called him were discharged with honor to himself and credit to his county. By his energy and.perseverance he had accu mulated quite a handsome property and had com fortably settled In life his three children, all of whom are married. He has, for several years, been a member of the Baptist church, and died triumphant in the faith, saying Just before be lueathed his last: "Allis well with me.” His wife has lost a noble husband; his children a kind and indulgent father; the county has lost a most exemplary officer; society an honored member.
