After a protracted and painful
Illness* Baroa Egutont C. von
Treskow breathed his last at his
bome in Kirkwood in the early
morning of Oct. 18th. His re
mains were interred in the old
Quaker cemetary here on Satur
day, the 15th inst. The Baron
was Prussian by nativity, but a
thorough American in thought
and sympathy, and we regret to
lose him. His wife and one son
survive him to whom we extend
condolence.

Death, the grim reaper, has
claimed for his own another
land-aiark of the county, and a
gallant old Confederate soldier.
Stephen Self, well known to all
the survlvers of the most mortal
struggle of moderm times has
answered to the last roll call,
and has passea over the river to
resj with Jackson "Under the
shade of the trees." Though
but a private in the ranks, lie
now equals in position his lea< -
ers in the gigantic struggle in
which the man behind the gun
decided the destiuy ef a natior.
Stephen Self was all of a sol ti
ler, fearing his God, and serving
liis country. Peace to his ashes
"Wo cannot give the exact d:ite
of his dsath, it not having been
given to us. It occurred ho\* -
ever during last week or the
