Along and useful life la ended,* another prominent landmark is removed, a familiar form baa pass ml from our streets, a voice thai baa taken a prominent part in all pnblie enterprises, in social gatherings, In political meetings, in the work of benevolent orders, la stilled in death. Hen. William X. Ed wards died at bis room In the Terre Haute House, Thursday morning at half past six o'clock. His illness wss of such short duration that flew knew be was sick before hia death waa announced. Not feeling well be went to bed on Moo* day evening. His physicians and friends felt no uneasiness until the evening before be died, when congestion of tbe'bowels set, in resulting in death in the morning, at the hour named.

Col. Edwards leaves a record of public duties performed that filla a* many pagea aa any person who has lived in this city. Briefly stated, after a thorough collegiate education, be began the practice of law in this city in the autumn of 184S—thirty-five years ago. In 1843 be was elected to the Legislature for the first time—served three subsequent terms—and at the session of 1875 was elected speaker. He was noted as the best psrliamentarian }n the state. He was the first Mayor of this city and served with honor two terms. During the greater part of the past twenty years he has been one of the trustees of the Indiana 8tate University, and was President of the Board at the time of hia death. For many years be was President and manager of the Drawbridge Company. As a Mason and Odd Fellow he ranked high. He served as Master of his masonic lodge in this city. But bis best love seemed to be for the Odd Fellows, in which order he ranked among the highest and best posted, having been honored frequently with its highest offices in the 8tate and city. Cbanncy Rose selected him as one of the executors of bis will, and he was especially trusted with the carrying out of the various schemes of charity, benevolence and education devised by that philanthropic citizen. He was, at the time of his death, Secretary of the Rose Polytechnic Institute, President of the Board of Trustees of the State University, a director of the Terre Haute and Chicago and Terre Haute, Indiana* polls and Yandalia roads, and of the First National Bank, and Chief Patriarch of the Grand Encampment of Odd Fellows of the State. In all the positions with which he had been entrusted he has served with honor and to the best interests of the several organisations, and now at the cloee of an active life leaves a reoord clean and untarnished.

Col. Edwards was nearly sixty years of age, having been born on Bear Grass, near Louluville, about the year 1&2Q. His father was respected gen tleman of the old sohool, and bis mother was a relative of Gen. Escbary Taylor. He lived and died a bachelor, having in all its changes of proprietorship, made the Terre Haute House bis home for a period of over thirty years. It is fitting that the funeral servioes should be held at that hostelry whioh has so long been his home. The services will occur tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock, Rev. S. F. Dunham reading the Episcopal burial service. The friends can view the body to-morrow from nine o'clock until tbi hour of the funeral. In the funeral procession will be the City offl cers, fire and police departments, the bar, Odd Fellows and Masonio fraternity. A special train will come from Indianapolis to-morrow with the Grand Encampment of Odd Fellows, Governor Williams, ex-Governors Hendricks and Baker, members of the Supreme Court, and other* prominent men of the State, who will come to do honor to our dead citl&en. —Passing in the rear of White A Rankin's establishment yesterday morning, we found them busily engaged paoking and shipping to various points, t|e brand of Oysters for which Mr. JstnV White secured such a large trade last season. These are H. S. Landfalr A Co's, and of which they will keep well supplied through the season and furnish in bulk or can at the very lowest prices. Their oandy manufactory is now in full blast, and with superior workmen they are turning out first-claas article. Better than all, they have a flrat-class trade. Measrs. White and Rankin take turns out on the road, and are showing such enterprise aud industry as gives certain promise of a big trade for this- lively tlrm.

MR. A. HKJUS faithfully carried out his proposition of giving five per oent of the proceeds of bis sales last week to the yellow fever offerers as is testified by the following reoeipt:

Tbe Ohio State fair in Cleveland was kept open on Sunday for tbe benefit of the yellow fever sufferers, and the preachers of the city generally de nounced the action. Tbe relief com mlttee in Chicago declined money taken in a spiritualistic seance,

Methodist clergymen in Chicago sre much concerned about those of their brethren who run for office. At a spirited discussion of the question of ministerial ofBceholding, it was unanimously decided that the vowa of tbe ministry disqualified a man from holding political office. Tbe assertion was freely made that politicians take bold of mlnlatere only to make fools of them, and run them for offloe only to defeat them.

Talmage preached at the Brooklyn Tabernacle last Sunday on the subject: "Is It right or wrong to go to Coney Island on Sunday." He took his text from 2d Mark, 27th verse, "Tbe Sabbath was made for man, and not man for tbe Sabbath." His conclusions were,' that If people hadn't tbe leisure or the means to go on other days, and felt that it would do them good to go on Sunday, they were to exercise their own discretion In the matter and go If they wanted to. Very comfortable advloe.

The following story was recently written by tbe Rev. Matthew Hale Smith: "One of our pastors sat in hia parlor one afternoon. A lady was introduced. She came to talk, she said, on the aubject of religion. A friend was snxious about her soul. She bed difficulties, and the visitor stated what they were. The pastor gave her advloe, and said in return 'To what church do you belong?' 'I belong to no church,' waa the reeponse. 'I am an actress, and I do not suppose that any church woald receive me. *Why, then, do you take eo much Interest in your friend 'My friend Is anx lous about her soul, and I am desirous lead her to Jesus If I can, though I may not be worthy myself.'" Mr. Smith added that the actress wss Miss Clara Morris but Miss Morris writes to the Dramatic News: "The whole tbiug is an unmitigated lie* I never had such an interview. I cannot rest under snob an outrage."
