- A HANDSOME ENDORSEMENT.
- A petition was handed to Hon. David NOGGLE, this after-
- noon, signed by nearly every member of the bar in this city
and county, requesting him to become a candidate for re-election
to the office he now occupies. One of like character has been
signed by a majority of both Grand and Petit jurors and the county
officers. Similar petitions have received the signatures of a
large majority [of] the lawyers, county officers and jurors in
the counties of Green, Kenosha, Racine and Walworth, so that
in all probability the Judge will have the field to himself if
he desires to become a candidate. [p. 3, col. 2]

present term,
- for the causes below specified, were arraigned this noon:

- DEATH OF E. R. DOE,
ESQ. - The sudden and unexpected
death of E. R. DOE, Esq., President
- of the First National Bank of this city, has cast a gloom
and a sadness over this community that is felt by all classes
of citizens. A correspondent in another column has paid a just
and truthful tribute to his stern integrity, his true manhood,
and to the practical virtues that adorned his well-ordered life.
Those who have been in the habit of meeting him from day to day,
in transacting the ordinary matters of business, will feel that
a great void has been created here by the relentless hand of
death, and will realize how irreparable is the loss to his family
and relatives. His death would have been a great bereavement
to the people of this city at any time, but the shock was doubly
painful from its suddenness, as very few persons had any information
of his illness until his death was announced. How true, in this
instance, are the familiar words of Young:
- "Death loves a shining mark, a signal
blow,
- A blow, which, while it executes, alarms,
- And startles thousands by a single
fall."
- [p. 3, col. 2]
- OBITUARY NOTICE.
- We desire to say for the fiftieth time, that we do not insert
obituary notices,
- without pay. It is our practice to simply insert the name,
age, place, and time of death of a person without any charge,
but for anything further we charge the regular advertising rates.
- Persons at a distance who fail to see the notices that have
been sent us from time to time, will
- understand the reasons. [p. 3, col. 2]
- From Clinton.
- EDITORS GAZETTE.
- Clinton is right where is has been since it moved from the
"old corners,"
- down to the crossing of the railroad. But business is "summers
else." I heard one grain buyer who owns an elevator warehouse,
say the other day, "business is getting to be quite heavy
again - shipped two car loads of wheat last week."
The same warehouse very often shipped six car loads a day
last fall; but the grain "has gone to the bugs." Old
grain buyers have shut up their warehouses and are "after
hogs," in other words buying stock which the scarcity of
feed of all kinds makes quite a lively trade. The North Western
Railway Company have built commodius stock yards here this fall
and also an engine house capable of containing six engines; but
as for all the use they have of it at present, it might as well
stand on Ike PRAMER's farm, i e, two miles plumb
east from Milwaukee; for before the tracks leading to it can
be laid, it will require as many cart loads of earth as the Chicago
Tribune's president's message made the receipts of the
government. Did you notice how they sliced into the billions?
The lumber trade is brisk and well conducted. The other CROSBY
is at his post as agent of R. R. Co., the same as for 8 years
past, ever courteous, ever busy.
- COLEGROVE has sold his hotel, and the jolly landlord
of so many years has gone out of
- business. His successor is one BROWN from Dunleith,
Ill. I see he intends to please the public, for TRUMAN
goes in as clerk. TRUMAN is not quite half as long as
Old Abe, but he makes that up and more too, by getting off two
jokes to Abe's one. Long live shorty. The old building
in CROSBY's lumber yard, I understand, is to be fitted
up for a saloon. No liquor to be kept of course, only pea nuts
and stuff.
- The ladies are making extensive preparations for a Festival
and Oyster Supper on Thursday
- evening. Success to them.
- Dr. Thomas HUNTER, for a long time a resident of this
village and widely known throughout the
- county, died last night in Union Co., Ill., whither he removed
last spring. To be continued,
- Clinton, Dec. 13, 1864. [p. 3, col. 3]
- MARRIED.
- In this city, on the 6th inst., by Rev. Mr. Anderson, of
St. Louis, Mr. ORIN A. CHENEY, of
- Johnstown, and Miss NELLIE M. SAXE, of Lima.
-
- In Center, Dec. 8th, by Rev. G. W. Lawrence, Mr. MILTON S.
STACY, of the town of Janesville,
- and Miss MARIETTA B. FOLSOM, of this city.
-
- In this city, Dec. 10th, by Rev. A. C. Manwell, A. H. STICKNEY
and Miss STURZY STORMS, all
- of this city.
- The compliments of the occasion are duly
acknowledged.
-
- In Fort Atkinson, Dec. 10th, by the Rev. G. W. Ford, Mr.
CHARLES LOCKE, of Milton, and Miss
- MARY ADA HOLDEN, of Albion. [p. 3, col. 4]
- DIED.
- At his residence in the city of Janesville, Wis., on the
evening of Sunday, December 11th, 1864, Mr.
- E. RICKER DOE, aged 49 years.
-
- In Afton, Nov. 29th, 1864, of croup, ELLEN JANE, youngest
daughter of John and Elizabeth
- DAVIES, aged 6 years, 2 months and 24 days.
-
- In this city Dec. 9th, at 12 p.m., SAMUEL W. SPENCER,
aged 44 years and 16 days.
- The deceased has been a citizen of Janesville
for the last eleven years. He was a most highly esteemed and
- worthy citizen and christian. During the
last five years he has suffered from that insidious and fell
destroyer, the scourge of the world, Pulmonary Consumption. His
funeral was attended Dec. 11th, at 10 1/2 a.m., at the M. E.
church, by a large concourse of social christians, and Masonic
friends. He was buried in Oak Hill Cemetery of this city. He
leaves a wife and three children, sadly bereaved and afflicted
to mourn his decease.
-
- In Jefferson, Wis., Dec. 5th, after a lingering sickness,
ROLAND S. HOYT, aged 29 years.
-
- CLARA MAY HOLMES died Dec. 9th, 1864, at 1 o'clock
a.m., aged 10 years and 1 month.
- Those who possess true honesty are so rarely
to be found in this world that, when it is deprived of so rich
a
- jewel, it should be made aware of the fact.
- It is from the following reason that we feel
ourselves called upon to inform mankind that in the death of
Clara
- HOLMES, which
occurred on the 9th day of Dec., 1864, it lost one possessing
this inestimable spirit.
- She died at the age of 10 years and one month.
- Notwithstanding her youthfulness she stood
first in one of the highest classes in our school (district No.
4,
- town of Janesville), by her gentle and self-denying
spirit she gained the esteem of all with whom she was acquainted;
she would not permit herself to commit an act that she desired
to conceal; and she was one of those pure and gentle spirits
which God and angels must delight in and which renders Heaven
so attractable.
- As she was leaving this world and suffering
the most intense pain, she exclaimed "Splendid! splendid!"
When
- asked what was splendid, she said "Up
there where all our friends are." She then reached out her
arms saying that she was going to her father, who had died some
two years before, and breathed her last.
- Clara thou hast gone to roam
- In realms of endless light;
- Thy soul could not remain
- In this dark world of night.
- Clearly now thine eyes may see
- That splendid splendid sight;
- Thy father holds her in his arms,
- A shining angel bright.
- By her teacher, D. DAVIS.
