The circumstan ces,zes near as we can relate them, given us by good authority, are these : Mr. Mortord, together with his son ani a man *the name of Fox, had occasion to go to 'Burton Station, on the B. & O. Railroad, WelieVtrginia, about seven miles from his residence, t o bring over some cattle from o his faint 'mai that place. After arriving there they went into one of the stores of the place; where were several citizens, among whom 'lrere this man Doud, ids brother and anoth er !airier by the name of Ytiihorn. The seVect tif the Presidency was brought up by ' mote tote, ind this negro Doud made the remelt:diet ,anybody voting for McClellan wait •rxery man."

Doad, finding young Morford Km-the - porch said to him "he was informed tthat father draw a pistol on him while at the store," young Morford said it was not true. •' Hie father hearing the controversy renewed, Came out and walked by them, when Dow! made the same remark to him, thathe enderstood he had drawn a pistol atiohn,when with an oath and a demand ferthe pistol he deliberately shot him through the body before he had time to refuse or give up the pistol. The musket was so near the breast of deceased that it burned his coat; the ball passing through his body and •clething. He walked a few steps and fell and expired. Young Morfora, seeing the terrible crime committed, uttered a :severe rebuke to the negro, when, the ibis& rascal turned upon him and endeavor sal- to run his bayonet through his body, but it only passed through his coat. Young Morford seised hold of the bayonet and Reid it whilethe three were thumping him airtlite " He ht last succeeded in get ting his pistol from his pocket ; but on at teuipting to shoot; his arm was pushed to ene side. He fired two shuts, the last one taking effect in the body of the negro, . but unfortunately was not a fatal one. - Young Morford asked them it lie would be let alone if he would let go the bayonet. They prom ised him they would, but on his releasing his hold the negro immediately commenced re;loading his musket. Young Morford. then started for home, fearing another at tack, leaving his father and horses; but as mew as he could reach a plat* .of security had to lie down and rest, being badly abused :aratimengledby the cowardly ruffians. • It w sometime after dark before he reached ids home. When the cars came . by, the ruffian mho Isaac Morford got on, and by this means had not been arrested, but Var.horn • was arrested in a grog shop at Littleton, on Friday the.4th inst., and two revolvers found oe bins. One of them is reported as being Me.lierford's, which was found secreted in Yairhortt's boot. Mortord's remains were brought home on "Tbnrsdar.and his funeral took place on He leaves a wife and several children, together with a large circle of rela- Aires and friends to mourn his loss. He was a kind-hearted man, a good citi • sten and a true friend. A Olimpter of Horrors—Murder, As iissination and Suicide—Abolition Outrages. The past three days have been one of terrible excitement iu this place. '1 he abolitionists evidently chagrined at the anticipation of the great demonstration on Tuesday, and its tealizaiion on that ,day-, appeared determined by every meansto produce disorder. On the previous to the meeting, an as it was made upon a man named Johnsen, a Deknocrat from Vermont, by E. L..*orrow, a leading abolitionist in this .place, and we believe one of the ofacheo of the Provost Marshal. The attach, was . . entirely unprovoked and masa considerable excitement. Sub sequently. Morrow, while standing in in frcinA of the Sheriff's of ce,commeneed ifiring on a man named John Lennox, iagakist whom he had an old grudge, :and discharged the entire contents of a Tevolver, slightly wounding Beuj. Bra dy, who-was at the time attempting to ( get Morrow home. Several other shots were fired, rumor says, by Len ;nox, and others, during which time 4forrompwas shot while running up street, the ball entering his hip and eoniiag near the surface of the abdomen. =Morrow is now lying in a very critical otraition, and we understand his phriaysse haye no hopes of his recov ~On Tnesdayr the feeling continued that yre have described above.

Mr. Benj. Brady approached him and expostulated with him, Saying that "Democrats never in terrupted Republican meetings, and that they shonld not interrupt ours." Vance answering impuder.tly was rlughly handled. After the meeting adjourned and Mr Brady. was coming up street, a dispute resulting in blows occurred between Mr. B. and a young man named Richard Filmy Mains During the fight Sample Swoeney handed -Fitzwilliams a dirk Itnite and told him to "go in." There upon Fitzwilliams gabbed Brady twice or three times—once in or near the heart, causing almost instant death, and in the abdomen. Brady was immediately carried home, but 'never afterwards spoke. This assassination created the most intense excitement and the life of Fitzwilliams-and his abettor was only saved by the appears of Freeman Brady, jr. Esq, and John Brady, brothers of the deceased. Fitzwilliams was badly beat en, however, and subsequently commit ed to jail. We mast say for this un fortunate young man that he has here tofore sustained a good character and it appears that in a moment of excitement he was made the instrument of a murder, by parties too cowardly to strike the blow themselves. Poor Ben. Brady was a frank and fearless man, and had many friends even among his political enemies. We have thus given the current fitcts about these bloody transactions. We understand that a warrant has been isued for Sweeney, and upon an officer going to his house he was missing. Up to the time of going to press his whereabouts had not been ascertained. SUICIDE. —Dr, John Ilaerts conmit ted suicide by jumping out of the third story of the Franklin House, opposite the Court House on Wednesday morn ing. It appears that R had been under influence of liquor the evening before, and being arrested by officer Dickey, was locked up in a room in the above house until morning. At the hour of his arrest he showed no signs of insan ity. He fell upon the pavements frac turing his skull and causing instant death. Oar Since the above was written Sam ple Sweeney has been arrested and committed to jail.— Witsh. Renew. A Good Yield. Our friend and worthy steward of the Greene County Poor House, Mr. ELIJAH AnAms, informs us that off of less than one and one-fourth acre of ground he had cane which yielded one hundred and fifty-nine gallons of mo lasses. We think much credit is due Mr. Adams for the management and good condition of the farm, as also the house, which are under his charge. Useless Young Ladies. A cotemporary thus seriously speaks of that very large class of useless young ladies who glory iu being above use ful employment: The number of idle, useless girls in all our large cities Seems to be steadily increasing. They lounge or sleep through their mornings, parade the streets during tl e aft ernoon, and assem ble in frivolous companies of their own and other sex, to pass away their even ings; What a store of. unhappiness fur themselves and others are they laying up for the coming time, when real du ties and high responsibilities shall be Lthoughtlessly assumed! They are skill ed in no domestic duties-=nay, they de spise them; have no habits of industry nor taste for the useful. What will they be as wives and mothers? Alas for the husbands and children, and alas ' for themselves! Who can wonder it domeStic unhappiness and domestic ruin follow. Solid Smoke. A workingman, writing to the editor of the British Workman, (England,) states: Since I gave up smoking I have put into a box the amount that I formerly spent every week in tobacco. At the end of the year, on opening the box, I have counted out a sum of money suffi cient to provide myself with periodicals and newspapers for the year, which sum I called "solid smoke!" A friend one day called and asked me, "Have you found the philosopher's stone?" "No," I replied; "I don't turn the smoke into gold, but I prevent the gold from turn ing into smoke."—Good News. IDLENESS—Mathew, xx. 6. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and touni others standing idle, and said unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? The pious and eloquent Jetmeny Taylor, Bishop of Down, said one day to a lady of his acquaintance who had been very neglectful of the education of her son, "Madam, if you do not choose to fill your boy's head with something, believe me the devil will." The Spanish proverb says strongly, "The devil tempts every man, but an idle man tempts the devil." MARRIED, October IBth, 1864, by the Rev. J. H. Shields, Rev. I. N.

BY LUCY LAMM. Rand in hand with angels, Through the world we go; Blighter eyes are on as Than we blind ones kr.ovr, Tenderer voices cheer - us Than we deaf will own. Never, walking heavenward, Can we walk alone. Nand in hand with angels— Some are ottit rffeight, Leading us unknowing, Into rears of light; Some sott hands are loosened From our mortal clasp, Boni in soul to hold n With a firmer grasp. Hand in hand with angels-- Some, alai! are prune Snowy wings, in falling All earth-stained have grown. Help them, though polluted And despised they lie. Weaker is your soaring • When they cease to Hy. Hand in hand with angel,— Ott in menial guise, Hy the same straight pathway High and low must rise. if we •trop the fingers Toil-embroivned and worn,:. Then one link with heaven From our life is torn. Hand in liana with angels— In the busy street, By the winter hearth fires, Every where, we meet, Though unfledged and songless Birds of Paradise; Heaven looks at us daily Out of human eves. Hand in .hand with angels— Walking every day, liow the chain may lengthen None of us can say. • Yet no doubt it reaches From earth's lowliest one, To the loftiest seraph Standing iu the sun. Hand hi hilt t ith angels;:— Lis a twisted chain, Winding heavenward, earth•,vard; Up and down again. There's a painful jarring, There's a clank of doubt, If a heart grows heavy, Or a hand's left out. Hand in hand with angels— Blessed so to be! Helped are all the helpers; Who give light shall see! Ile who aids Another Blesses more than one; Sinking earth he grapples To the great white throne. Hand in hand with angels— Never let them go! Clinging to the strong ones, Drawing up the low! One electric love note Thrilling all with fire; Soar we, through vast ages, Higher, ever higher! 0 0 i! t uie . Dtp:D.—On the 9th, of Sept. 1864, at City Point, U. S. Hospital, Sergt. B. F. HiHas, of Co. H. Ist. Pa., Cay., in the 28th year of his age. He was the son of Samuel C. and Elizabeth Hibbs of Red-Stone township Fayette county Pa. He volunteered at an early period in the history of the present war, had served his three years, when while preparing to ,_be mustered out of service, he accidently received a wound which resulted in his premature death. He was a good soldier; - as he had been an affectionate and obedient son while at home, so he was faithful and true, in every other relationship in life. lie professed religion some years since, and united with the Salem congregation of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church; of which he remained a worthy and con stant member up to the time of his death. He was dutiful in life and hope ful in death, dui ing his last sufferings he was patient and resigned; and gave great satisfiction to his Chaplain, and others who conversed with him, of a preparedness to depart and be with Christ which is ro much more to be desired than any enjoyment or Portion that earth or time can afford. His early death, away from home has fallen heav ily upon his fond parents, bro ers sis tersop and other friends, but 1 hem not sorrow as those who have no hope, but let them fly to the bosom of the blessed saviour, who has borne our sorrows, and carried all our grief—and may God who has promised to succor his afflicted peo ple, bless them. J. ADAMS, Pastor Merrittstown, Oct. 28, 1864. NEvita give np to gloom ; it •is a wrong to those about you. Sad faces add to the weight of trouble that life lays upon every heart. Woe to us if we cannot look about us and see brave. cheerful face, to encourage our hearts! Let us be careful that each one of us has one of these faces. A man who carries a glad face does'an amount of good in the world impossible to compute, even if he be too poor to give one cent in charity. Legal Notice.
