HIGHWAY ROBBERY!!!

Mr. William Griffey, of Morgantown, Va. a man of respectability and probity, was on Mondayevening, 29th Oct. about a half hour after dark, attacked by two ruffians on the Morgantown road,700 yards from Beallville, in the county, robbed of twenty five dollars, and treated with the mostbarbarous cruelty. The circumstances, as communicated to us by Major John M. Davis, are asfollows:

After taking hold of his bridle, seizing him by the arms, and demanding his money - of which hetold them he had but little, and having got it honestly, did not like to part with it in that way, - theypulled him off his horse; a scuffle ensued, during which he slipped his hand into his coat pocket,and dropped from it his pocket book, containing 750 dollars; they then searched his pockets, tookhis pen knife from one, and a five dollar note from another; while one of them was opening the pen-knife, he knocked the other down; when the one who had the knife made two stabs at him, one ofwhich pierced through a memorandum book of 30 pages, the other cut through his vest andpenetrated to one of his ribs, against which the blade broke; by this time the one who had beenknocked down arose, and cried, "damn him, kill him," but on the suggestion of the other, they bothseized Mr. G. bound his hands behind him with a handkerchief, tied another handkerchief round hisneck so tight as nearly to strangle him; led him to a small tree, a short distance from the road; boundhim with his back to it with his surcingle, and tied the handkerchief round his neck to the tree sohigh as to oblige him to stand on his toes to avoid strangulation. He then told them if money wastheir object, they should have all he had, if they would liberate him; they promised they would, andhe told them there was a five dollar note in the pocket of his vest, (this he knew they had alreadyfound) and twenty dollars in his saddlebags, on top of his clothes. They took the twenty dollarsfrom the saddle bags, left him bound and made off. In this painful and perilous situation heremained about an hour and a half, and was so far exhausted as to be unable to speak, when Mr.Francis Gormly near Beallville, came along, discovered, and released him. He found his horse, hispocket book with its contents, and his saddlebags, in the bottom of which he had also 80 dollars.

DIED

In Twinsburgh, Portage county, Ohio, on the 21st of September, MOSES & AARON WILCOX,aged about 50.

They, as we are informed, were twin Brothers, born in Connecticut; they were married on the sameday, their wives being sisters; they hoped to have experienced religion on the same day, andattached themselves to the same church, on the same day; they engaged in mercantile businesstogether, at Middletown, and failed together; from thence they removed and settled themselvestogether, in this state, at a place which from them derived the name of Twinsburgh; they were takensick on the same day, and were buried in the same grave, and have left to their bereaved children thesame rich inheritance of an unsullied moral & christian character.

The singular identity which pervaded the character of these men, and the events of their lives,manifested itself no less in their persons. During their youth and middle age, so nearly did theyresemble each other as to challenge the most discriminating eye to distinguish them. Employed inthe early part of their lives, in the neighborhood of each other, as school-teachers, they were wontoccasionally to change schools, and always without detection, on the part of the scholars, of thechange.

OBITUARY

DIED at his residence in Center townshid [sic] on Friday the 29th December, JOHNMONTGOMERY aged about 65 years.

The early days of the deceased were spent upon the wide ocean. He long since, though, left theboisterous waves for the more pleasant and peaceful occupation of tilling the earth. - His mind waswell stored with the Sailor's "yarns," and the greatest delight of his leisure hours was to recount his"imminent perils and hair breadth escapes" upon the vasty deep.

In his voyage through life he has met with the "quick-sands" of misfortune, and has often been near'wrecking' on the 'rock' of trouble but he still "weathered the gale" until the the [sic] "sand" in his"hourglass" of life was broken by death, which gave him a "passport" into eternity. His voyage isnow ended and he, we doubt not, safely 'moored' in the 'haven' of peace where the wicked ceasefrom troubling and the weary are at rest.

OBITUARY

Died in this place on Friday Morning last of pulmonary Consumption, Mr. Jesse Inghram,(Postmaster of this place,) in the 32nd year of his age.

In the death of Mr. Inghram a widow is left to mourn the loss of a kind and affectionate husband, anorphan to feel the want of a moral and intellectual father, and a society to regret the departure of oneof its most upright and correct members. But so, in the mysterious providence of an alwise God thebeloved and good are often taken away in the noon tide of life, leaving friends and acquaintances tosigh over the premature death of the brightest ornaments of society. Truly the wisdom of God ispast finding out.

Died in Waynesburg on Saturday morning the 15th inst., Asa M. Knisely, aged 14 years. The dec'dcame to his death by the kick of a horse which happened about two months before the time of hisdeath. In the midst of life we are in death.

OBITUARY

From the Christian Advocate.

JOHN SIMPSON.

Died at his residence in Greene County, Pa., the Rev. John Simpson. This venerable servant of theLord was born in Ireland, March 12th, 1758, and was early awakened to a sight of his lostcondition; and near sixty year ago, while praying in his father's garden, God removed the burdenfrom his soul. He immediately joined the Methodist Church and was soon leader of a class whichoffice he held until he left for America. He bro't with him a letter of his membership stating that hewas an acceptable member of the church and a man of unblemished character. He landed inAmerica, August 12th 1791 and moved to Greene co. Pa., in the fall of 1796 and was licensed topreach the Gospel Sept. 22d 1798. His house has been a preaching place and a home for thepreachers for near thirty years; he preached his last sermon at Hopewell in July last. For somethingover one year past he had been feeble and gradually declining, until two weeks before his death,when he was confined to his bed; and feeling that he must soon die, he desired to receive thesacrament of the Lord's Supper, which was administered by brother Turner; God made it a season ofgreat grace to the family. For some months past he lived in the fullness of the blessing of the gospelof peace without a cloud. I visited him on Christmas day and found him happy in his Saviour. Iasked him if he suffered any pain, his reply was, no not one bit, either in body or mind; he then saidbags of gold and silver could do me no good now; but the grace of God supports me; he thenjoyfully said, death where is thy sting, grave where is thy victory; thanks be to God who giveth usour victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. In this happy frame of mind he continued until NewYear's day at eleven o'clock A. M. when as calm as an infants sleep his spirit left the clay tenementto join the blood-washed throng. Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be likehis. On the following day his funeral sermon was preached to a large and deeply affectedcongregation. He has left behind an aged companion who for the last fifty-four years has been amutual sharer of the common joys and sorrow which befell them; may the Lord bless her. Also alarge family of children and grand-children. May they follow him as he followed Christ.

On the 8th day of May, near Logansport, Cass county, Indiana, by the Rev. M. M. Post, MrGEORGE H. McMINN, formerly of this place, to Miss LODUSKA KING.

We are a little puzzled to understand our cousin in this matter - not that we wonder at his marrying,that is all natural and right - but we had always thought George was an honest democrat; and if so,how could he admire a King in a free country. We suppose, however, that their similar sentimentson the great question of annexation overcame every other obstacle. But hold a moment - did notGeorge fancy Miss Loduska so much that he was willing to annihilate a King that he might possessher? He is a good republican still and must be a gallant youth to face a King for a sweet-heart.

DIED.

At her residence in Richhill township, Greene County, Pa., on the 20th ult. Mrs. Elizabeth Gray,Consort of David Gray, Esq., near the 45th year of her age.

The deceased has left behind her, an affectionate husband, and a large family to mourn her loss.She was kind, affectionate, and obliging to all. Her partner, her family and her neighbors , allshared largely in her sympathies and her generosity. Her disease, which was of a lingering andfrequently of a painful nature, was seemingly borne with Christian patience and resignation. Nearher last she was interrogated by a near relative, respecting her departure. She calmly resigned herfamily and friends into the hands of God, and meekly expressed her hope, that all would be well inJesus. Soon afterwards, she was observed, to be deeply (though silently) engaged in prayer. Sheceased, the breathed her last, without a struggle or a groan.

"How blest the righteous when he dies! When sinks a weary soul to rest,How mildly beam the closing eyes, How gently heaves the expiring breast.

Life's duty done, as sinks the clay, Light from its load the spirit flies;While heaven and earth combine to say How blest the righteous when he dies!"

OBITUARY.

DIED,

On Sunday last, in Waynesburg, MARY, infant daughter of R. D. Bird, Esq., aged about one year.

From the Presbyterian Advocate:

DIED, January 29th, 1847, at his residence in Poland, Trumbull county, Ohio, Mr. JOHNM'CLELLAND, in the 84th year of his age.

Some four or five years ago he had a paralytic stroke, from which he never recovered, and, theeffects of this, together with old age, brought him to the grave. Mr M'Clelland was a native ofDelaware, but early in life removed to Western Pennsylvania, Greene county. - He then,comparatively young, took upon him the name and profession of piety, and as his friends think,under the ministry of the Rev. Robert Fenley. For the last 30 years he has been a ruling Elder in thePresbyterian Church of Poland, but for the last 4 or 5 years had ceased to act in that capacity. Hewas ardently attached to the doctrines he had professed, and when asked by his pastor, a few weeksprevious to his death, if he could still rely on these as he approached nearer the grave, "yes," saidhe, "and they are doubly precious." His character as a man, and especially as an officer of theChurch, was pacific, yet firm. He seemed emphatically to have been one of those who loved the"gates of Zion." He would often go, when too feeble to walk the aisle of the church withoutsupport; and only three weeks previous to the day of his burial he was in the house of God. Hissight and hearing were unimpaired, and in this he was privileged beyond most of his age. For thelast few days of his life, he conversed but little; but in a prayerful state of mind awaited his change.His aged partner survives him. They had lived together more than half a century. Their children,grand children, and great grandchildren amount in all to about 70, A large portion of whom werepresent at his funeral.

OBITUARY

Departed this life early on Sunday morning the 28th of March, of inflamation of the brain,REMEMBRANCE LINDSEY, only son of Remembrance and Ophelia Hughes, of Millsborough,Washington County, aged 8 years.

He bore his illness with remarkable fortitude and Christian patience. During his illness scarcely asigh escaped his lips, and the only complaint made by him was the useless administering ofmedicine, saying it would do him no good, that if he got better it must be God that would help him.On being asked if he wished to see his physician, he answered no, they could do him no good. Hismother asked him if he thought he would die. He answered with a smile - no mother, nit if it isGod's will that I should get better.

This little cherub so bright, so pure,To dwell on earth could not endure; -To dwell on earth was not his choice,But to obey his Maker's voice.

Communicated.

Departed this life April 2d, 1847, Mr. HENRY WILSON, aged 24 years and 6 months.

The deceased had been married but a short time before his death, and has therefore left a young andaffectionate widow to mourn her loss. How true it us, that in the midst of life, we are in death. Thesubject of this notice had just entered upon the busy scenes of life, and promised to make a goodand worthy citizen, and member of the church. He had but recently sought and obtained theremission of his sins, and united himself to the M. E. Church, but was soon after called, we trust,from the church militant, to the church Triumphant, to join with the adoring saints and angels insinging the song of Moses and the Lamb. He has left many friends to mourn on account of hisdeath, but they do not mourn as those who have no hope. He left the world rejoicing in hope of theglory of God. The writer of this notice was with him much during his illness, and always found himresigned , patient, and submissive. Not a murmur escaped his lips though his pain sometimesseemed to be the most excruciating. He bore it without repinnig [sic], and while fever was burningthe body, his soul was rejoicing in the God of his salvation. A short time before he died, seeing hisfriends standing around his bed he spoke to them with as much composure and rationality as thoughhe was in perfect health. Said he, I am glad my friends, that i have the privilege of addressing youat this time.- I want you all to understand my feelings and sentiments. I don't want any of you to bedeceived - hear my dying groans - I am dying happy. He was baptised a short time before he died,and being interrogated upon the subject he replied, he wished to be baptised in the name of theFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. He died as the good man dies: leaning his head onJesus' breast, and breathed his life out sweetly there. Never did I more appreciate the value ofreligion than I did while standing at the bed-side of this dying, yet happy man. Ah, this is the gloryof our holy Religion, when its comforts are most needed, they are most freely given.

How blest is our brother, bereftOf all that could burden his mind;How easy the soul that has leftThis wearisome body behind.

His languishing head is at rest,Its thinking and aching are o'erHis quiet immovable breastIs heaved by affliction no more.

His heart is no longer the seat,Of troubles and torturing pain;It ceases to flutter and beat,It never shall flutter again,until the morning of eternity, when waked by the Trump of God, we trust he shall, amid the risingglories of the resurrection morn, be raised to immortality and eternal life.

OBITUARY.

Dying is always an awful, momentous thing, the great crisis in man's history, the point on whichhangs the everlasting destinies of the soul. Let us all remember this.

It becomes my painful duty to record the death of MARY, daughter of John and Susanna Rogers,which took place on the 3d inst.

Just as spring was putting forth and clothing herself with her beautiful garment of verdant green,and all nature enlivened with the sweet music of birds, yielding up their hymns of devotion to theGod of nature, this lovely youth was in the spring of life. Eleven years did she look forth uponGod's fair creation, but she has exchanged the beautiful scenery of earth, and took her flight to theskies to gaze forever upon the glories of heaven, where she sees all things new. The immortal mindsleeps not in the darkness of the tomb. She was the object of a father's and a mother's love. In ruralpeace they lived and contemplated many happy days upon earth. Their hopes were wove inflattery's loom. Death like and ocean, dark, deep, rough and shoreless, rolled his billows o'er littleMary and she is gone.

Nip't by the wind's untimely blast,Parched by the sun's scorching ray;The momentary glories waste,The short-lived beauties die away.

There is one great source of comfort to these bereaved friends. They can muse upon the propheticpaintings of the last day. That day will be without a cloud, the weeping of the world hushed, all itsgreat miseries passed away. Christ on his throne , in the midst of a redeemed, sanctified and happychildren; all things sacred to his name , all tongues rehearsing the great chorus of redemption.

Relatives, here then, is an object at once to take your affections to the throne of God; your child,your sister is there.

Of measles, in Richhill township, on the 18th inst., SAMUEL CLEAVENGER, son of Jonathan H.and Rachel Vanata, aged about 1 year and 8 months:

"Ere sin cold blight, or sorrow fade, Death timely came with friendly careThe opening bud to Heaven conveyed, And bade it bloom forever there."

SUDDEN DEATH

Our paper to-day appears in the [unreadable]ments of mourning - [unreadable] of [unreadable] deepgloom that must shroud the [unreadable] mind in consequence of the [unreadable] event which hasoccurred. SAMUEL CLEAVENGER, ESQ., long a [unreadable] of Waynesburg, is no more!Never has it been our painful lot to record the death of one more highly respected or moreuniversally beloved. He died of [unreadable]. This sad intelligence will be felt by [unreadable]throughout this and the adjoining counties, and as far as his [unreadable] virtues and pure andgenerous [unreadable] were known. His loss to society is very great and will fall with [unreadable]upon our town and county [unreadable] bereavement must rest still heavier upon the large,intelligent and highly esteemed family of the deceased. To them is offered the heart-felt sympathyof our citizens, and the consolations of that Holy Book in whose precepts and promises the deceasedwas a consistent follower and firm believer.

On Monday morning, November 1st, Mr. Cleavenger rose early, ate a hearty breakfast, and incompany with some members of his family repaired to an out lot, adjoining town, for the purpose ofdoing some seeding. About ten o'clock he returned home, and on entering the house informed oneof the family that he was very sick. These were the last words he spoke. A physician was called,and a vein opened in the arm, but a few drops only were drawn; and in a few minutes his pure spirithad departed to be with that God who gave, redeemed and sanctified it. Truly in the midst of lifewe are in death.

For a number of years the deceased has been an exemplary member of the Cumberland PresbyterianChurch. His daily walk and conversation was consistent with the profession he had made, and gavethe best evidence of his hope being well-founded in the Saviour to whom he has gone to dwell.

Much might be written of our deceased neighbor and friend. As a husband and father he was tenderand loving - as a Barrister he had no superiors in Western Pennsylvania, as would soon have beentestified by the universal desire to see him upon the Bench of this Judicial District - as a neighbor hewas always kind and obliging - as a friend he was ardent and enduring - as a christian he wasdevoted and exemplary. His family has lost an honored head - society, the Church and the Bar arebereft of their brightest ornament.
