THE PLANTER, ROCKPORT, IND.
On Sunday, the 19th of August, 1860 at his
residence in Huff Township, in this county, William H. Evans, aged about
37 years.
Without a murmur during his short illness, he closed his eyes to
all earthly objects to open them again at the resurrection of the just in a far
brighter clime, where sickness, sorrow, pain and death are felt and feared no
more.
Oh! Could we send one clearing ray to the home made desolate by
death’s relentless hand, how glad we would do so; yes we would say, mourn not
as those who have no hope; although a tie on earth has been broken, how much
stronger is the tie in heaven? And from the spirit land. (?) A whimper seems to
come so the loved ones on earth. – I am waiting and watching.
A bruised reed he will not break
Affliction all his children feel;
He wounds them for his mercy sake,
He wounds them but to heal.

At his residence near Rockport, on Tues-day, the 18th
inst., Mr. James Connor, in the 70th year of his age.
The deceased leaves a large family to mourn their irreparable
loss. He was until about two years ago
a resident of North Bend, Ohio, where he left a large circle of friends and

On the 26th inst., by Rev. Thomas D. Boyer; Mrs.

The remembrance to the printer, which accommodated the above
announcement, was most excellent. May their voyage o’er the sea of life be
pleasant and prosperous, with many SQUALLS—but of the kind that bring music to
them. We have long thought our friend Barney
needed some one to comfort him, and all must acknowledge that he has made a
judicious choice. May you both love on
till life’s close, and remember that love.
“______ is the star, to every
wandering bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks,
Within his bending sickle’s compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours & weeks,
But bears it out, even to the edge of doom.”

in The Planter, Oct. 23.
1860.
The Chairman of the Dane County, (Wis.) Central Committee has
resigned his position for the following reasons:
“I am impelled to take this
course, from the fact that I cannot consistently support either of the
democratic candidates for the Presidency, at the ensuing election.
“I cannot vote for Mr. Breckinridge,
because he stands upon the Pro Slavery Platform.
“I do not deem it advisable to
vote for Mr. Douglas for the following reasons.
“First, he cannot be elected.
“Second, Voting for him only increases the chance of election of
a Pro Slavery candidate.
“Third, The resolution adopted at Baltimore which is endorsed by
Mr. Douglas in his letter accepting the nomination, substantially con-
cedes, so far as principle is concerned, all that the secessionists demanded.
It virtually declares that the Democratic party will not only be abided by the
Dred Scott Decision, but will also favor Congressional legislation to enforce
and carry out into effect—which means intervention, if is means anything.
“Fourth, the ultraists of the South, by their act-ion in National
Convention and elsewhere, have forced upon the Union men of the North the
necessity of taking one extreme or the other on the Slavery question, my choice
is the extreme for Freedom, rather than the extreme for Slavery.
“I intend, therefore, to vote for Abraham Lincoln for
President, believing that he can and will be elected, and that his election
will teach the Pro Slavery men of the South, a profitable lesson, while at the
same time it will further the best interests of the whole country.”
Frank H. Firmin
“Madison, July 18, 1860”
Jonesboro, Ill. 1860
The hostility between the supporters of Douglas and Breckinridge
has become exceedingly bitter in that part of Illinois known as _?___. In the
town of Jonesboro, the Douglas men have resolved not to trade at the
Breckinridge stores, and the Breckinridge families have determined not to visit
the Douglas families, nor to recognize them as respectable members of
society. There seems to be danger that
the animosity will come to blows. It has become much more savage since the
recent Convention at Springfield, where Breckinridge electoral ticket was
nominated.

The deceased
was a young gentleman who gave every indication of making a most valuable
citizen; mild and prepossessing in disposition and manner, studious and
industrious in business, he bid fair for a career of honor to himself and
usefulness to his friends and the community. But, alas! The cruelly relentless spoiler came; the
insidious consumption attacked his system, and the fond hopes of his parents
and friends are crushed as a blow; he has been in early youth taken from their
midst, and left them to mourn a loss that never can be replaced; but they
sorrow not as those without hope; assured they are that their loss is to him
everlasting gain.

Obituary
Honorable John Worthington Graham
Hon. J. W. Graham was
born in Nelson County, KY., March 11, 1792. He was married to his bereaved
widow July 12th, 1817, and they moved to Spencer County, Ind.,
somewhere about the year 1820. Judge Graham was for some fourteen years, Judge
of the Probate Court, and for one term honored for the Legislature of Indiana
by representing this county in that body.
He was a volunteer in the War of 1812, and served in the expedition to
the Upper Canada under Gen. Shelby, of Ky. He was a man of intrinsic worth. A
Christian citizen, husband, and father, in all the varied walks of life, a man
influenced by religious principle.
He united with the
Methodist Episcopal Church but a short time after he settled in this State, of
which religious body he remained a firm and consistent member until death
removed him to “the Jerusalem above, the mother of us all.”
Judge Graham was a model of courtesy, and gentlemanly bearing,
without an approach to affectation; he went in and out among us in such a
manner as to command universal respect. He was a merciful man. Every true tale
of distress moved his sympathetic heart—his hand was pen as day to melting
charity. His death was to this
community a public calamity, built to his eternal gain. His wife and children
have lost a kind husband and father. And the church, not alone that branch to
which he belonged, but the whole church, has lost in him a man of exemplary
life—a living epistle known and read by all. (by),

Execution of Two Negroes
Mango, a slave of Wm Elien Kinair, and Melvaine, his sister, who
belonged to Miss Florentine Frivax, were hung on the 16th of
February in the jail yard of the Parish of St. Charles, for the murder of young
Wesley Latham, the son of the overseer of the plantation of Mr. Lanfear.
It seems that young Wesley was courting Miss Frivax, the mistress
of Melvaine and the latter was her favorite servant. She had her own way about
the premises, was a sort of ruler—and learning that her mistress was engaged to
marry Wesley Latham, and, in fearing her authority would cease in that case,
she induced her brother, Mango to shoot him. Latham came over to see his
ladylove Saturday night on horseback, and it was settled that they should marry
on the Monday morning following. While he was arranging this affair, with the
supposed future bride, Melvaine completed the plan for his murder. She
accordingly, on this night, got her brother Mango to loose Mr. Latham’s horse,
so that the young gentleman would have to walk home—and then placed Mango in a
deep ditch on the road that the young lover would have to take, and as he
passed there the unfortunate man was shot through the head by the concealed
assassin.
The confession of Mango disclosed the facts. The two were tried
before a special tribunal. The State was represented by District Attorney
Charles D. Dreux. Both the accused were found guilty, sentenced to be hung, and
on last Monday expiated their guilt upon the scaffold. They met their fate
calmly and firmly.

OBITUARY
Died. At Council Bluffs. Iowa, November 23d, 1854, Rev. A.J.
THICKSTON.
The Rev. Mr. Thickston was
very well known to many, if not the most of our readers. During the last year of the ministry of the Rev.
Mr. McIntyre, in this place, Mr. T. was the minister on the circuit
adjoining this town. He visited this place during the year, and preached
several times to the Methodist congregation, and by this means formed an
acquaintance with that portion of our community who worship with that large
respectable and influential denomination.
His widow, with her family of fatherless children, are now living
within a short distance of this place; the father and husband died way from
them, in a distant land, among strangers.
“By foreign hands his dying
eyes were closed;
By foreign hands his humble
grave ad___ed.”
Honored and mourned by
strangers, he sleeps, until Jesus shall come again to call his ransomed home.
T the last session of the Indiana conference of the Methodist E.
Church, held at New Albany, Mr. Thickston asked for and received of location,
and during the session of the conference he started on his way to the newly
organized territories of Nebraska and Kansas.
We believe that declining health and pecuniary embarrassments
compelled Mt. T. to change his relation to the church. As a general thing the
salaries of Ministers are so limited, their opportunities to secure a
sufficiency for the wants of their increasing families, that many, very many of
them are compelled to turn to other pursuits. Mr. T. was among that number. He
had been for five years in connection with this confer-ence, and had the
affection and respect of those who were seriously acquainted with him.

A Wonderful Discovery has recently been made by Dr. Curtis, of this city, in the treatment of
Consumption, Asthma, and all diseases of the lungs. We refer to “Dr. Curtis
Hygeana, or Inhaling Hygean Vapor and Cherry Syrup.” With this new method Dr.
C. has restored many afflicted ones to perfect health; as an evidence of which
he has innumerable certificates. Speaking of the treatment, a physician
remarks: It is evident that inhaling—constantly breathing an agreeable, healing
vapor, the medicinal properties must come in direct contact with the whole
cavity of the lungs, and thus escape the many and varied changes produced upon
them when introduced into the stomach, and subjected to the process of
digestion. The Hygeana is for sale at all the “druggists” throughout the
country.

Obituary
Died, at his brother’s

his 29th year.
In the deceased the immediate relatives have lost an estimable
member of their family, his circle of acquaintance an amiable associate, and
his brother an active and energetic partner in business.
In such dispensations of Providence, it is probably best to be
resigned to our irreparable condition and mummer not; but this is no ordinary
loss, it is scarcely short of calamity upon the business of our town. He was,
practically, a business man, industri-ous, energetic and honest, possessing a
full share of the public’s confidence in his business capacity and sterling
integrity. As the best evidence of these qualities, he arose from an obscure
orphan boy, by dint of his own exertions by considerable opulence and notoriety
in the world of commerce, with a constantly increasing reputation amongst all
whom he had any deal. And however much
is comrades in the social circle may deplore his untimely departure, as deeply
they will, the business community will feel that it has caused a vacuum that
only time’s oblivious veil will serve to efface.
Our kindest wishes and deepest sympathies for the surviving
friends, and peace to his ashes. O.

We notice with pleasure the competition existing between the pork
merchants of our town—it having for several years past been one grand means of
the farmers receiving an adequate remuneration for their labor.
There have been some fine lots of hogs brought in this week. One
lot, of which owned by Reuben Lloyd, Esq. consisting of 14 aged 325 lbs.
each, and was purchased by Crawford, Cotton & Co. at the rate of

Obituary
Died, at the residence of her
son, (Mr. James Morgan), Mrs. Mary Morgan, widow of John Morgan Esq.,
formerly of this place.
Mrs. Morgan removed with her husband within the bounds of
the adjoining county prior to the organization of Spencer County. She came to
this place in 1818—Her husband was our first Clerk, and among the earliest
settlers of this village. The house of her son, James T. Morgan from
which Mrs. Morgan’s funeral took place was the first shingled residence
in our village at that time, it was built thirty-six years ago. The building of
such a residence was considered quite an undertaking; the necessary hands had
to be brought from a distance of ten or twelve miles around. Then our public square was thickly covered
with trees. Mrs. Morgan witnessed the rise and growth of our village up
to its present position.
She came here in the vigor of her strength, having been born in
the State of Kentucky in the year 1792. She was a woman of remarkable
constitution, is capable of sustaining the toils of a new settlement

(Special Letter to Mrs. Thickston)
Reprint “The Planter, Jan .13, 1855
I have to
communicate the painful intelligence of the death of your husband. He died this
afternoon at Leonard Sear’s Hotel, and he requested me to say to you,
“That he has received all the kindness and attention that could have been
extended to him among relations and friends.” His language ran thus.
“To comfort my wife and
family, say that nothing has been left undone. Although unable to write, I
extend to them my hand. To my dear and beloved wife; You have the whole burden
of the family resting on you, but do the best you can; above all things keep up
family prayer regularly in the household. To my daughter, Betty: --Cultivate
your taste for music; continue to be religious, for that has been the greatest
honor to little Willy and Bob, (alluding to his oldest
son, Lovell H. Thickston), tell
them I will meet them in Heaven, instead of Nebraska, if they will be
religious; our meeting will be with the Lord.”
The above I wrote at his dictation.
