OBITUARY.
Died of paralysis, on the 21st inst., at his residence, Fairmount, Ohio, JACOB HARRIS, aged 78 years. The subject of this obituary, without making any pretension to unusual sanctity, endeavored to practice the precepts of Christianity. He was opposed to war and the taking of human life, and, believing the enforcement of all legal enactments to be based upon the use of the sword, he had not, for that reason, voted for the last thirty years. He was opposed to oppression, and on that account he had abstained from the use of the products of slave labor, as far as practicable, for many years. He was a zealous advocate of the Temperance cause. He aimed to be just in his dealings, having frequently refused to take, though it was offered, more for an article than he thought it was really worth.
