great age.
Sarah Morgan, of Bedford, exhibited a cape
bonnet which was all the fashion forty years

of the fathers of the family, found, soon after
HulIs surrender at Detroit, an old knapsack
aud shaving cup, near the present line of the
Cleveland & Pittsburgh R. R., between New

of the spot it was supposed that a soldier, re-
turning from Detroit, had laid down there to
rest and had gone away, leaving these arti-
cles. The cup is still used by Mr. Morgan as
a shaving cup. The knapsack is Of glazed
canvas.
