A Curious STORY OF A MASONIC BrnLE--,
A correspondent thus writes to us:--"E
may be known to you that the Freemasons
of The 46th Regiment now stationed ia
Windsor, have in their possession the ori4i-
nal Bible belonging to Lodge o27 Of the It,h
Constitution, once in existence in that corps.
upon which George Washington, afterwards
Commander in-chief of the United States,
was initiated into the rites of Freemasonrv
This book was taken in battle. once in iI77
during tie Amercsn war, and once by the
French. at Dominica, in 1905, and each time
hhnorably restored to the lodge of the 46 h,
with military escort as guard OF honor
Each case of restoration WAS scene OF mo
raj beauty--a triumphant vindicalion Of tbs
purity of Masonic principles.
The surprise and feeling Of both Officers
and men may be imagined when they per
ceiyed the flag of truce that announced
this elegant compliment from their gallant
opponents, but still noble brethern, who Of

The Cholera in Martinsburgh.


The Martiusburgh Gazette of Wednesday,
gives the following further account OF the
cholera in that place: -'Hr 4" "rr~ a
This terribly fatal disease has continued
its rayages among us during the past week.
Since its first appearance here on last Thurs
day week, more than sixty persons have be-
come its victims--and we are not per-
mitled now to say that it has ceased from
our midst. We had sincerely hoped that
the rain on last Thursday yA-the lightning
and change in the weather-the apparently
pure and healthful atmosphere, would have
banished the disease entirely-but such has
not been the case--and how long, and to
what extent we may yet be compelled to
suffer, no human being can ,livine.
The cause of this alarming mortality yet
remains mystery. Every thing that could
be done for the health of the town, the re-
lief and comfort Of the sick, has been done
by the authorities, and the health commit
tees, while many of our citizens, blessed in
some respects above others, have left the
scene Of sickness, sorrow, pain and death, F"
q large number Of cur philanthropic citizens
have remained to labor for the relief of the
distressed, and to contribute of their means
to aid the destitute-such deserve what they
Will surely receive---a rich reward. Our
physicians. the clergy q, the different de-
nominations, the members Of the health com
mittee, and others Of our citizens, have no
bly, dischalg ged their duty, end will contin-
ne to do so while the veslige Of disease re-
mains. al

EE- Quite an excitement was produced
yesterday at the wharf blythe arrival of a
teamboat---the first for about seven weeks.
The "Ella" came down all the way from
one mile above Wellsburgh, blowing tremeu-
dously as she came in, and for some time
after she got in, as if TO astonsh the natives.
Many persons had not heard boat whistle
for so long, that they scarcely knew what
manner OF sound it was, while others said
ID sounded like steam boats whistle, and
broke for the wharf TO see what was out.----
The long continued blowing was accounted
for by the fact that the whistle, having been
silent SO long, when it got its mouth open,
didn'fknow how to stop it.--- Wheeling INT.

To DESTROY HOUSE ANTS The best way
to get rid of antsis to set quantity of crack
ed wainuts or shell barks on p!at:s, and put
them in the closet and places where the arts
congregate. They are vary fond of these,
and will collect on them iii myriads. When
they have collected on them, make a gener-
al auto dafe, by tuning nuts and ants t>geth-
er into the fire, and then replenish the plates
with fresh nuts. After they have become

WHEATsowIEa.--P Plentiful rains have fall
en- within . week past, in New York and
the New England states, as well as in some
parts Of the west so that it is probable the
farmers in most Of the states will be enabled
to PIT in the usual amount of wheat, although
in Ohio we don't see how this work can be
done. In this part Of the state a few farm
ers are at work sowing wheat on the grouud
from which the shrlvelled corn crop has been
cut, but it is only the best lands that can
thus be plowed, while sod and stubbe fields
are endrely too hard for the possibility of
their being plowed in tins lot wheat sowing.
We would again caution farmers against
sowing wheat late on lands at all inclined to
be wet, and where the midge or weevil has
prevailed Better omit growing wheat for
one year than to breed only q crop of in
sects. Look out tor q wet jail and ~ nter.
