THIIkI : H OF RIDGE LINDSEY I
Our unity was startled on Friday
morning last, by the announcement that
Judge LINDSEY was dead! His demise took
place at his residence, some six miles west of
this place, about the middle of the previous
night. I wail known to but few that he had
been unwell. He had held Court at Wash
ington the previous week, from which he re
turned, it seems, quite unwell, just a week
previous to his death. He had what was re
garded as a slight attack of Bilious Fever,
before he went to Washington. After his re
turn he rapidly become worse, but no one
seemed to apprehend a fatal termination, till
.quite near the period of his death.
This sullen demise of Judge LINDSEY has
thrown a gloom over our entire community.
Ifehad a wide circle of relatives, and yot a
much wider circle of attached and dwoted
,friends. In the social circle, as a citizen, 414
.Judge of the Court, his death creates a • :
.ful void. He had not yet reached the
,of life, nor the full vigor of manhood-bging
less than thirty-seven years of age—at the
tune of his death. Long • years of matured
:usefulness seemed yet before him ; but death,
inexorable in his dearees,- had otherwise
!
How true, in regard to all of us, is the lan
guage of the poet :
A few months may—a few years must,
Repose us is the silent dust !
Judge Lindsey had been on the Bench
about four years at the time of his decease.
On account of his youth and apparent inei
perience, he entered upon the discharge of
his duties as Judge, with some distrust on
the part of some of his brethren at the bar,
as well as the community, to whom he was
to administer the law, but he rapidly won
the confidence of both and, it is believed
that, at the time of his death, but few, if any,
of our Judges, had to a greater extent, the
confidence and respect both of Bar and peo
ple. This is not the language of eulogy, and
those who know him aefl know the facts,
will recognize the literal truth of the repre
sentation. He iad a vigorous and well bal
paced mind, rapid in its operations, and ca
pable of mastering, apparently, without ef
fort, the most intricate questions presented
for solution, and a happy facility, both as an
advocate and as a Judge, in conveying to a
Jury the conclusions to which he had arrived.
Bar Meeting.
At a meeting of the Bar of Greene Co.,
Pa., geld at the office of Buchanan & Wyly,
In Waynesburg, on the 2d of September, inst.,
in reference to the death of the Uov. JANES
LINDSEY, President Judge of this judicial
district, the followirg proceedings were had.
Upon motion of R.. W. Downey, Esq.,
John C. Flenniken, Esq., was called to the
chair, and R. A. McConnell, Esq., elected
Secretary.
After stating the object of the meeting,
C. A, Black, W. E. Gape'', and A. A. Pur
man, Esq's., were, upon motion, appointed a
,corainictea to prepare resolutions and pro
,cee&ings for the consideration of the meet-
Jpg. Whereupon the meeting was adjourned
,t,o meet again on the evening of the same
Aity.
Agreeable to the adjournment, the mem
bersod the Bar again met, when the follow
ing preamble and - resolutions were reported
by the Committee•—which, upon motion,
were unanimously adopted.
WHEREAS, It has pleased Almighty God,
in his infinite wisdoin, to call the Hog.
JAMES LINDSEY, suddenly and unexpectly
from the active scenes of life, it becomes us,
his professional brethren, to give an ex
pression of our appreciation of his eminent
worth and ability ; and to tender to his
friends and the public, our sympathy, for the
great less they have sustained.
When the aged fell, in the fulness of their
days, like well ripened trait from the bough,
pur regrets are tempered by the just reflec
tion, that the usual span of life has been
traversed, and death seems a fitting end to
their feeble existence. But when the com
paratively young and gifted, are thus early
called away from earth, when surrounded by
every reasonable goott and with the future
EP full of hope and promise of increased use
fulueas, it is difficult indeed, to suppress the
re g ret that life was so soon terminated. The
bxpression of our grief, Lowever unavailing,
may have its use, in stimulating the living to
emulate the high character left. us by the
dead.
called to the bar at an early age, our de
eased friend and brother soon gave evidence
of great natural talents, and at once took
the position of an able and eloquent adto
cite—always sealous and true to his client,
but kind -and courteous to the counsel and
parties in opposition. And when, after a
short but successful career at the bar, he
was elevated to the bench, he at once arose
to the level of its duties and responsibilities,
04 exhibited those rare judicial qualities,
'which rendered him go popular and accepta
ble to the district. Patient and assiduous
in the trial of causes—kind and indulgent to
the parties concerned, yet with a hrm pur-:
pose. to administer the law impartially—with
itnatural aptitude to seAze upon the true
points of a case, and with a happy and fe
licitous mode of expression, his entire judi
cial career, was marked by thoSe traits,
which ever constitute the able and upright
judge. T4Ur'et.°4'el
Resolved, That tu the Anilines with which
our deceased brother was connected, we '
tender our deepest sympathy. They have
lost one for whom, when living, they could
well be proud ; and now when dead, they
may look with juss pride upon the good
name he has left behind. 'To the public
who have been deprived of his services, we
Fan truly say, that we all have suffered a
great, if not irreparable loss.
.Roo/red, That we will attend the tuner
al of the deceased in a body, and will wear
the usual badge of mourning thirty days;
and that L. L. Minor,E. M. Sayers, John
Phelan, R. A. McCo nnell, Thomas Lucas,
John G. Flenniken, William Bally, and R.

THE SURRENDER OF FORT MORGAN.
Particulars of the Bombardment.
WASHINGTON, August 31.—T0 Major
Gea. Dix :—This Department has recivL
ed from Gen. Grant a rebel account of
the surrender of Fort Morgan, taken
from the Richmond papers :
CITY Pomr, August 30.—The follow
ing is from the Richmond Enquirer ofl
this morning :
'MOBILE, August 'N.—The flag of
truce boat returned last evening. The,
Yankees say Fort Morgan capitulated '
at 2 o,clock last Tuesday. On Monday
afternoon they concentrated their fire on
the fort, when the bombardment was
renewed spiritedly. In the meanwhile,l
the enemy succeeded in getting their !
howitzers into position, and their line
of skirmishers along the glacis of the
fort opened a heavy fire on our guns
and gunners, and with the assistance of
the mortar fleet succeeded in damaging
several gun carriages. The fort did
not fire on Tuesday. Gen. Page de
stroyed everything in the fort. and spik
ed his guns. He and the garrison,
numbering 581 men,, were sent to New
Orleans. Seventeen were killed. The
number of wounded is not known.—
None of the non-combatants were al
lowed to visit the city. The enemy
have a strong force of 4,000 on the
main land at Grant's Pass.

which began early on Monday morning,

and the appearance of bombardment is
described as most grand and stirring.
The bursting of the heavy shells in the
fort or over it was constant, and for
four - hours the rebel garrison received
in that way an average of one shell per'
minute of time. The monitors fired at
close range. Their aini was unusually
good and the explosion of their 11 and
15-inch shells could be distinguished
from the bursting , of the shells thrown
by the other guns, which were of small

Poor Richard's Reasons for buying
United States Securities
The other day we heard a rich neighbor
say he had rather have railroad stocks than
than the U. S. stocks, for they paid higher
interest. Just then Poor Richard came up, and
said that he had just bought some of Uncle
Sam's three years notes paying seven and
three-tenths per cent. interest. My rich
friend exclaimed, "You! I thought you had
no money to buy with." "Yes," said Rich
ard, "I had a little laid up, for you know it
l is well to have something laid up against a
wet day, and I have kept a little of my earn
ings by me." Now Poor Richard is known
Ito all the country round to be a very pru
dent and industrious, and withal, wise man ;
for Richard never learned anything he didn't
know how to make use of, and his wisdom
and prudence had become a proverb. So,
when lie took out his savings and bought the
notes, more than one was surprised, and it
was no wonder- rich Mr. Smith asked why.
So Poor Richard, in a very quiet humble way
—for he never assumed anything—replied,
I‘ 6 l suppose, Mr. Smith, you know a great,
deal better than I do what to do with money,
and how to invest ; for I never had much,
and all I got I had to work hard for. But I
have looked round a good deal upon my
neiglo4ors, and seen what they did, with their
money and I will tell you some things I saw
and what I thought , of it. One very rich
man was always dealing in money, and he
made a great deal, but was never satisfied
without high interest. So lie lent most of
his to some people who he though were very
rich, at a very high rate; and he often told
tire - much he got, till one da,y the people he
lent to went to smash. Re got back about I
ten cents on a dollar of his money. I know
another old gontleman, who had sonic bank I
stock and he went to the bank and got ten
percent. dividend. The President and every-
I body said it was the best stock in the coun
try—paid ten per cent. But what did the
old man do but sell his stock the next day !
Why ? why ? seid everybody. Because, it
pays too mach. dieidend. And is, six months )
the bank went to smash. Now, that I know
to he a fact. Well, Mr. Smith, you say rail
road
stocks are best, because they pay high
dividends ? Can you tell how long they will
pay them ? I like railroads. I helped to'
build one, and I go in for useful things.—
But I tell you what I know about them.—
One-third of the railroads don't pay rmy div
idend, and two-thirds (and seine of them •
craked up, too,) do not pay as much as Gov- I
ernmant stocks. Now that brings me to t 1
Government securities, and.l will tell ye , i
why I prefer them. I take it you will ad
mit, Mr. Smith, that in the long run the in
vestment which is best should have these
qualities ; Frst, it should be peVi.otly se
cure: secondly, that the income should be
on ijiwnt and pernia neat—not up one year '
and down the next ; and thirdly, that it
should be marketable, so when your wet day I
comes, and you want youi money, you can
get it back. And I think these notes or
bonds have got these qualities more than any
other kind of personal property you can
name Try it,
"First, then, I have been looking into that
great book you call the Census Statistics.
I used to think it wasn't worth much ; bat
since I began to study it, I tell you, I found
a good many things very useful for me to
know. I found out, by looking at the crops,
and the factories and shipping, ktc., that we
don't mean the Nebel States) are making
ousand millions of dollars a year more
than we spend. So you see that (since the
increase of debt isn't half that) we are grow
ing rich instead of poorer, as John Bull and
the croakers would have us think. Then
the lit will be paid, anyhow, no matter
how lung the war is. Besides, did you ever
hear of a Government that broke before the
people did ? Look into your bright histories,
Mr. Smith, and you will find the people
break before the Govermhent. Well, then,
I call that stock perfectly eneare.
"Secondly, you want the income uniform
and permanent. Well, I want you to take
up a list of banks; railroads, mines, insur
ance companies—anything you choose—and
tell me (honor bright, now !)how many have
paid a uniform income for ten or twenty
years. Not one in a hundred, Mr. Smith,
and you know it.
"Now here is the Government will pay
you without varying a tittle, Now I like
something that gives me my income every
EMI
"Thirdly, yon want something which is
marketable any day in the year. Now, if
you will ask any bank President, he will tell
you that Gomm - meat stocks are the only
kind of property that is always saleable, be
cause they will sell anywhere in the world.
"Now, Mr. Smith, this is why I put my
little savings in Government stocks. I son
fess, too, that I wanted to help that dear old
country, which is my home and my coun
try." "I contes," said Mr. Smith, "I hadtet
thought of all this. There is a great deal of
sense in what you say, and I will go so far as
to pat two or three thousand dollars in Uni
ted States stocks. It can do no harm "
We left Mr. Smith going towards the
bulk, and Poor Richard returning home,
with that cairn and placid air which indica
ted the serenity of his dispobiti ni and the
conciousness of doing right towards, his ectnp.-
.
try and his feliow mgt.

-at) scrofulous
contamination is variously ceased by mercurial
disease, low living, disordered digestion from
unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy
habits, the - depressing vices, and, above all„hy
the venereal infection. 'Whatever be its origin,
it is hereditary in the constitution, descending
"from parents to childten unto the third . and
fourth generation ; " indeed, it seems to be the
rod of Him who says, " I will visit the irsicjai
ties of the fath e rs upon their children." The
diseases which it originates take various names,
according to the organs it attacks. • In die
lungs, Scrofula produces tabeseles, and &milk
Consumption; in the glands, swellings which
suppurate and become. ulcerous sores; inothe
stomach and bowels, derangements which pro
duce indigestion, dyspepsia, and liver com
plaints ; on the skin, eruptive and cutaneous
affections. These all having the same origm,
require the same remedy, viz; purification aia
invigoration of the blood. Purify the blood,
and these dangerous distempers leave you.
With feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, you can
not have health ; with that " life of the flesh "
healthy, you cannot have scrofulous disease.
flyer's Sarsaparilla
is compounded train the most effectual anti
dotes that medical science has discovered for
this afflicting distemper, and for the cure of the
disorders it entails. That it is far superior to
any other remedy yet devised_,_ is known by all
who have given it a trial. That it does com
bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect
upon this class of complaints, is indisputably
proven by the great multitude of publicly
known and remarkable cures it has made of
the following diseases : King's Evil or
Glandular S*elrinp, Tumors, Skop
lions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Bey
oipelas, Bose or St. Authori al !: Fire, Solt
Bhemn, Scald geed, Co from ti
berculons deposit' in the White
Swe Debility, Drpsy,
or Indigesta m f ecti m, n thilis and
ftp ' tic Infections, Diesilla,
gemak, Weaknesses, and, indeed, the whale
series of complaints that arise from impurity
of the blood. Minute reports of individual
cases may be found in AYER'S Atm.:nose
ALMANAC, which is furnished to the den to
for gratuitous distribution, wherein may be
learned the directions for its use, and some of
the remarkable cures which it has made when
all other remedies had failed to afford relief.
Those cases are purposely taken from all sec
tions of the country, in order that every reader
may have access to some one who can speak to
him of its benefits from personal experience.
Scrofula depresses the vital energies, and thus
leaves its victims far more subject to dittoes
and its fatal results than are healthy constitu
tions. Hence it tends to shorten, and does
greatly shorten, the average duration of human
life. 'The vast importance of these considers
tions has led us to spend years in perfecting a
remedy which is adequate to its cure. • This
we now offer to the public under the name of
ATER'S SARSAPARILLA, although it is com
posed of ingredients, some of which exceed the
best of Sarsaparilla in alterative power. By
its aid you may protect yourself from the suffer
ing and danger of these disorders. Purge out
the foul corruptions that rot and fester in `the
blood ; purge out the causes of disease, and
vigorous health will follow. By its patellar
virtues this remedy stimulates the vital fuse
tions, and thus expels the distempers which
lark within the system or burst out 04 any
part of it.
We know the public have been deceived by
many compounds of Sarsaparilla, that promised
much and did nothing ; but they will neither be
deceived nor disappointed in this. Its virtues
have been proven by abundant trial, and there
remains no question of its surpassing excellence
for the cure of the afflicting dimes it is in
tended to reach. Although under the same
name, it is a very different medicine from any
other which has been before the people, and is
far more effectual than any other which has
ever been available to them.
