na- Mrs. Rebecca Cutwright died in
Upshur county, Va, not long since. at
the age of one hundred and six years.
An obituary of her says:
She was the first white woman who
settled in the valley ofthe Buclhannon
river, coming to Western Virginia when
quite young and living with her h"s
band in hollow tree, at the mouth of
Turkey run, in what is now VI shur
county. The deceased retained all her
faculties in vigor until the close of her
long and eventful life, and on the morn
ing of her decease was caress'n, one of
her great grand children, when, feeling
weary, she requested the child "to be
quiet, while granny would lie down and
sleep Tie venerable old lady then
lay down upon her bed and 'slept the
sleep that knows no waking" Her de-
scendants number between four and five
hundred.

Dea- One Of the most curious f css, ,re-
Gently revealed by the publication of
custom house tables is, that there
was imported into this country last year
three hundred thousand pounds of OPT
um. OF this amount, it is estimated
from reliable data, that not more than
one-tcnth is used for medical purposes
The habit of ca:ing opium is known to
be spreading rabidly among lawyers,
doctors, clergymen, and literary men;
and enormous quantities are used by the
manufactures of those poisonous liquids
which are dealt out in drinks in the sa
looms and GROCERIES that infest every city
aud vil|a-e in the country.

Think of the Poor

Kind reader, the morning tseoi4, tho
wind blows sharp and keen, And de
you may be comfortably heN oa and
warmly clad, give thought and form
an act of charity for the pooE sur
round, you. They are God 3 Nhi'llte1
and must be fed and clothed Ter = kilz
it has pleased Him to crown With
plenty, and place you above e
of want. It's surely no crimes l2p 81
give little to your less fortuna
bors.
1t is true that we may moi g
much dostitutiou this wintsra as Isz-hd-sn
done in previous ones, for those manu-
factories that suspended operations last
fall, have most of them resumed, thus
giving employment to thousands of hard
working mechanics, that last winter
were the subjects of charity, and who
filed to overfowing, our soup houses
and other benevolent institutions; still.
we venture to say that within the sound
of the State House bell, there are hun
dreds of families that tc-day neel Il
helping hand. Perform the part of the
good Samaritan, and visit these children
of poverty in their lowly dwelling
places, administer to their wants and
necessities, for by these little actions
you will not only prevent much suffer
ing that would otherwise occur, but you
would be carrying out that golden rule
do unto others as you would have
others do to you"
We say, Remember the roor," for
though to- day you may be reveling in
all the luxuries that money and friends
could possibly furnish, to -morrow's set
ting sun may find you a mendicant at
the door of charity. Though to-day
all may seem sunshine and happiness
to morrow may bring its bowling blasts,
and storm clouds may we'll up in your
path, and engulph you in their vortex.
Give a thought and care for the poor.
Go to work and search them out in your
own immediate neighborhood, and give
them such relief as may be in your pow
er, and you will feel much happier and
better for having furthered the ends Of
charity, by the Performance Of a kind
action towards your poorer neighbors.
Commence your good deeds early, and
wait not until exposure and want shall
have laid low the manly forms of those
whom the Father of All recognizes as
His children, and loves them with a
parents love.-PhiIadeIph5a Common

Tie Moon and tho Weather.

The late Marshal Bugeaud, says the Ema"'i-
ratioa: when on!y captain during the Spanish u b
manuscript which by chance fell into his hands,
that from observations made in England and
Florence during period Of 80 years, the follow
ing law respecting the weather had been proved
to i,n1l true: Eleven times out Of twclrc the
weather remains the SAME during the whole
moon rs it is on the fifth dag, il it continues un-
cl.ansrd over the sixth day; and nine times out
Of twelve like the fourth, il the sixth .lav rcscm
blcs the fourth. From isis to 1850 u. Bugcaud
devoted his attention to agriculture; and guild
cd By the law just mentioned, avoided the losses
in hay time and vintage which many Of his
ncishbors experienced. When Governor Of
Algiers he ncver entered q campaign till after
the 9Th day Of the moon. His neighbors at
Excidcull and his licutcuants in Alseria "ould
often exc'aim, How lucky he is in the wca-
ther: What they regarded as mere chance was
,l,e result Of observation. In counting the
fourth and sixth days, he was particular in be.
ginning iron, the ex.ct time Of the new moan.
and adding three quarters Of an hour for eacl'
day, for the greater length of the lunar as com
pared with the solar day.

MOVEMENTS OF GEN. SCOTT-TIIE OCCUPATION

So mote itbe.

BY way of San Francisco have details of the news
from British Columbia previously reported by telegraph
Gen. Scott and staff landed Port Townsend and reem.
barkcd on board the United States steamer Mdssdchu.
seits, f.. Bellingham Bay.
The Victoria Gazette, Oct. 81, saws:
The prominent feature of the news published In this
issue is the arrival in these of Lieut. Gen Scott
Commander-in-Chc OF the United States army OF the
precise object of this visit il il impossible TO speak def.
nely all that is known being that Gen Scott invested
with great discretionary powers Is proba
ever that those powers have any bearing on the ultimate
settlement of the boundary but conferred in cons
quence of apprchcnsons the part of the United States
Government that collision between Gen. Harney aud
the British forces had taken place that the matter had
otherwise become more complicated than the date To
which the adviccs received by the United States Govern
ment reached During his stay in this vicinity it is stated
that Gen SCOTS headquarters will be board the L. =
steamer WdssGchHSetts.
Gen Scott arrived at Portland, Oregon, Oct 81. The
Aers says that the NorterRor having first sopped at
Vancouver the of his arrival on this coast had been
received here before the arrival of the Norfer.sr and
at the time of its arrival immense crowd of our c-
zens was conggacd upon the wharf as the steamer
approached the wharf, and the sawart form of the old
hero OF Vera Cruz and Chapulepec and score of other
splendid victories became visibc-then such deafenin
cheers as Americans only give spontaneously burst
from the assembled citizens, which the gallant old hero
gracefully acknowledged. Subsequently the Portland
FIRE Department. in uniform gave the General a similar
welcome salute. Then ringing of bells and the firing of
cannon also attested the OF respect which the great
mass OF our citizens entertain towards the man who has
