Lett a History- Nexis, One, July 6.—Dr. Leigh Mc Clung, one of Nevin’s best known and most highly honored citizens, and a man with a history, died at his home in this city, last evening, aged fifty-three years. In company with P. B. Plumb, now sen ator from Kansas, he left here when only a boy, and made his way to Kanene, through Iowa, with a party that carried a cannon and muskets to aid the free soil ors. During Kansas’s agony for freedom McClung was one of the seven who were captured by the pro-slavery party, and placed in the Lecompton jail under sen tence of death, but who were afterward released. At the opening of the war he was the first man to volunteer from this county, and his name occupies that posi tion of honor on the rolls. He was prominent in 6. AR. circles, and was physician to the ©. 8, and 5. O. home.
