A COUNTY FOR CALIFORNIA- Over two hundred
persons have recently left or soon will leave Wayne county,
Ohio, for the diggings. The Wooster Democrat contains
a list of 140 who left Wooster on the 11th inst., and says
the cavalcade was formed and took its departure about 12
o'clock, and embraced over 100 hardy adventurers, conveyed
in about thirty wagons. They were escorted some distance on
their way by a large body of horseman, with music playing
and cannon firing. The outfit of the emigrants
appeared to be of the very best kind. The wagons were
all new, handsome and light; and the various equipments for
their long and perilous journey over the plains were ample,
and well adapted to the preservation of health and comfort.
The party is to take steamboat at Wellsville, bound for
Independence, Mo., from which place they take their final
departure for the land of gold.------------------------

Seven were ye, the beauteous blossoms,
Of our hopes and hearts and hearth,
All a sleep, lie buried under,
None for us now gladden earth.
Yet while thinking of our lost ones,
Of how dear ye were to us,
Why should dreams of doubt and darkness
Haunt our troubled spirit thus.
Why across the cold, dim church-yard,
'Flit our visions of despair;
Seated on the tomb, faith's angel
Saith, ye are not there.

Friend after friend departs,
Who has not lost a friend
There is no union here of hearts,
That finds not here an end.

Living or dying, none were blest.

with Mr. and Mrs. CUNNINGHAM, and Mrs. SMITH,
were one family. Mr. and Mrs. CUNNINGHAM,
instead of having four children, which they had on the 21st

AN EXTENSIVE OPERATOR ARRESTED. - About three
years ago a man named Charles HOY, of Wooster, Wayne
county, Ohio, who had been extensively engaged in
wool-growing, was detected in forgeries amounting to nearly
$70,000 - He fled; and, until the 6th of June last, had
evaded discovery and arrest, although officers had been
continually in search of him. For a year or more
before his arrest he had been in the habit of paying flying
visits to a brother-in-law, living at Mendota, Lasalle
county, Ill. On his last visit, however, he was so
unfortunate as to meet a gentleman who had known him in Ohio
and who immediately telegraphed for a warrant for his
arrest. While waiting the arrival of the process from
Ohio, officer John Phillips "shadowed" him and kept
constant watch on his movements. On the 6th of June
officers from Ohio arrived, and, after the family had
retired, they made a descent uon the house and arrested him.
They conveyed him to the hotel, and luckily for the cause of
justice, a gentleman there from Keokuk, Iowa, recognized the
prisoner as John Emerson, who hired a pair of horses
and a carriage last fall of Mr. S. Egbert, of that
city, which he forgot to return. It was
subsequently ascertained that HOY lived at Fontenelle,
in this territory, and it was surmised that he had brought
the horses hither. Messrs. Egbert and
Phillips came on here last week. And they not only
found the property they were seeking, but Mr. L. is
confident he has discovered several pairs of horses and
carriages that have been stolen from livery stables at
Burlington, Quincy, Jacksonville, Altona and St. Louis, by
this man - Omaha (Nbe.) Republican. |

OBITUARY
Rebecca WEYRICK nee DREHER, earthly
consort of J. J. WEYRICK, was born in Schuylkill
county, Pa., June 29 1830, and died suddenly, of parallysis,
at their home, 109 Hickory street, May 2, 1897, aged 66
years, 10 months and 3 days.
The deceased spent her youth in Wayne county, Ohio.
She was married to her sorrowing and aged companion in
Summit county, Ohio, in the year 1852.
After ten years' residence in Williams county, Ohio
they located in Elkhart county where they have since
resided. For nineteen years they resided in this city.
Five children were born to them, of whom three survive,
namely, Beorge F. and Mrs. Nora HATFIELD, of this
city, and Mrs. Orpha MAURER, of New Paris.
Besides seven grandchildren, two aged sisters, of Summit
county, Ohio and a brother, Dr. J. C. Dreher, of
Plainwell, Mich., remain to mourn her sudden demise.
Sister WEYRICK was converted to God in 1852, and
had since then been a beloved and faithful member of the
Evangelical association. She had a peaceable and quiet
disposition. It is safe to say she died without an
enemy. Her devotion to her family and to her God was
admirable. Her family and all her friends will call
her blessed. Her memory is blessed. Indeed a
mother in Israel has fallen. |

TWO DIE AS HOME BURNS - Ohio Mother and Daughter, 3,
Lose Lives; Former's Mother Hurt.
PRAIRIE DEPOT, O., July 18, -
Mrs. Ira Pollard, 31 and daughter, Ruth Pollard,
3, residents of Toledo died near here early today when they
were trapped in their burning home. Mrs. Rosa
Sackman, the dead woman's mother, was burned severely.
Mr. Pollard arose about 5:30 and started a fire
in teh kitchen stove. He went to the barn to do the
morning work. Mrs. Sackman, who slept on the
first floor arose to get breakfast. She discovered the
house aflame. As she rushed through the kitchen to
call help, her hair and dress were ignited. Pollard's
first warning of the fire was when he saw Mrs. Sackman
running toward the barn with her clothing burning.
He rushed to the house and tried to rescue his wife and
daughter, who were sleeping upstairs. The flames beat
him back when he placed a ladder to a window. It is
believed the fire was caused by a defective flue.
Mr. Pollard, nearly crazed when his rescue attempts
failed, was taken to a neighbor's home. Mrs.
Sackman's burns are said to be serious. |
