EDITOR PLAINDKAI.ER:--Another week has come and gone, another storm has covered the earth with a mantle of white, another of our citizens has crossed the river to try the realities of the other side. Storms ami sunshine, prosperity and adversity, peace and contention, honesty and rascality, health and disease, marriages, births and deaths, sobriety and drunkenness, praying and cursing, success and fail­ ure, joys and sorrows, have prevailed throughout the land, but the mass of mankind continue on in the course dic­ tated by inclination, habit or taste On the right our ears are greeted bjr the soul stiring i^iusic to the time of which the gay and happy throng delight to whirl in the gidy dance; while on the left, before, behind, and around us our eyes are greeted by the miseries of the unfortunate. To day we follow the youthful couple to the matrimonial altar, tomorrow we follow the hearse laden with the remains of some dear friend soon to be placed in the silent tomb, the final resting place of what is mortal of us all. And were this the end, were there no 1 topes beyond the grave, no belief in a future state, where the soul, the immortality of man shall find a home where sorrow never comes, where death never enters, then indeed, who is there that could content plate his future doom and rejoice in his existance here. But It is not my calling to moralist much le^s to sermonize, nevertheless my pen hits followed the< natural train of thought predominaut in my mind this beautiful morning, andyou have it as it is written. Of course your rea­ ders will naturally expect more items of uews than my diary affords. James II. Tappanso long and so well known throughout the couuty, atter a long and lingeringjsickness, has passed in his check and his name has been re­ corded in the Book of eternity, on what particular page we shall not know till we in our turn shall have stepped into the boat, been ferried over and lauded on the other side, and the same Book shall be opened to the registry ofour names. Then shall we see, and hear and know. All we desire or wish below. So with that guaranty let us wait aud be content. It is now about twenty years since Mr. Tappan first came to Woodstock and it will be remembered by many of your readers that at that time the House of A. W. Tappan & Co was oue of the most extensive general assortment houses in the county, and that Jatnes, during the existance of that house was the light and life of that establishment. It will also be remem­ bered that at the incipiency, and growth of the Republican party in this county, the Tappans and L. P. Converse, a member of the firm for sev­ eral years,, exerted a strong influence in the prosperity of the party, and if I mistake not were among the leading spirits that started the Woodstock Sentinel. Since the failure of the firm Mr Tappan has been connected as sales­ man in several of our mercantile .estab­ lishment, in which capacity, his ability and integrity have satisfied his employ ers and been universally acknowledged by his competitors aud the dealing public. And until his health failed him, "Jim," as he was familiarly known, never was idle for the want ol a place. He was buried in Oakland Cemetery i^ the midst of that terrible storm on Friday afternoon. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather a large concourse of. friends assembled at his late residence in honor of his mem­ ory, and iu sympathy with his bereaved family, paid the last tribute of respect to his mortality and vied with the fast f&lliiig snow, in "burying their dead out of their sight." Ha leaves a wife and two sons to mourn his loss who are highly esteemed and respected in this community, and who have the sympa­ thy of all who know them. May their sorrow be assuaged, and nuy they find comfort in the knowledge that though the husband, father and friend has gone they are left to each other and for each other until their time shall come to cross over and join the departed ou the other side ; Poor Owen too, what «ball I Mjr of hfm ? for though he yet breathes his end is undoubtedly nigh. PoorShanly, for fifteen or twenty years has the war been waged between him and crooked whisky, with various resiaii* at various times, but at every enoounter whisky came off victorious. ' For fifteen or twenty years has he walked our streets a living temperance lecture, a signal, to the youth and to whomsoever he should chance to meet, and the device inscribed upon that signal is "Tastft not touch not, handle not, lest what I am you soon, too soon, shall be." And should tlie dim taper that yet Bickers fitfully in the -socket of his frame go out simultaneously with that of those who have in whole or in part contribu­ ted to hi* deplorable condition, and should they appear at the Ferry togeth­ er "as my abul liveth," I believe he would be ferried over, acroft the river, and assigned a place rest, while they would be left to wander up and down the banks of the dark dark, River, with­ out light or hope beyond. And is thefre another hell for poor Shanly ? May ob- liviou cover the thought so sad so awful for contemplation. L. P. SQUARE. llichmoud Department. D. A. POTTER, Em?OB.
