time the deacon made some inquiries
of the man about his family and circum-

Died-On the 22d inst- Mrs. RACHEL
SToKER. wife of John L. Stoker, aged 81
years, month and 20 days.
She leayes husband, four children and
a large circle of friends to mourn her loss.
ON the morning of the 9TH inst, at the
residence of Marion Carter, near Nc
Cutchenville, after a very brief illness,
Mrs. JANE Robson, in the SOthyear other
age s. ~
Mrs. Robson was born near Gettys-
burg, Adams county, Pa, in September,
l7S7-far back in the past century! Life
came to her just after the close Of the Am
erican Revolution, and her earlier years
were spent amongst the brave spirits who
survived those terrible years of conflict,
which gave birth to our national history,
and death came to her aftera like, though
unsuccessful, struggle to destroy what she
had lived to see grow into one of the grand
est nations of the earth. Although as old
as the Constitution of her country, she
lived to mourn the loss of grand children
who fought to save it from destruction.
Mentally and physically she belonged to
an sage gone by," when the name of mother
had associated with it more than the
modern meaning. Few persons, indeed,
live so long and through periods so event
tu1 in a nations history.
In 1834-nearly one-third of a century
ago-she, with her family. came from the
home of her childhood and ripper years, to
the sswilds of the west" then called the
ssback-woods," and settled in the wilder
ness, near McCutchenvf1le, where ever
since has been her home. Here she lived
to see the forests give way to productive
fields, and seasons of W. hit of earlier years
to those of plenty.
More than sixty years ago she became a
member of the Presbyterian Church, of
kHhich she remained constant and faith
fHl member, and died in the faith of it's
quiet, but earnest teachings.
Two brothers survive her, one four years
older than she, and the other but a few
years younger, both in Pennsylvania.
Thus has another link, binding the dis
tant past with the present, been severed,
and spirit returned to "God who gave
it, while we are left to weepat her grave,
and look forward, some in doubt, some in
faith, and some without eitherhopihg that
we all may share the life of the Christian
in that world sfrom whence no traveller
has ever returned"

Peterson's Philadelphia Counter

Peterson's Philadelphia Counter
felt DetectOr.-This periodical, which
is a regular hand book in Banks, Offices,
Counting Houses and Stores, is issued on
the 1st and 10th of each month, atid has
become necessity to all business men,
Besides distinctive articles upon forged
Treasury Notes and limitations of National
Bank Notes, it shows the par value of all
notes, in every State in the Union, and
gives regular lists of all the new Counter
feits and Broken Banks, state of t.. & vari-
our Markets, Financial and Commercial
News.
Peterson's Detector is carefully, ABLY and
honestly conducted and edited, and from
its large circulation, necessarily is a good
advertising medium, though its space for
that purpose is not very large. Some peo
pie think because our currency is nearly
all National Bank and United States Notes
there is no need for "Peterson's Detector."
Why, now is. the time to have one ready
for reference. The facilities for counter
feiting have largely increased since the
adoption of the National Banking system,
under which all the banks use a uniform
plate for each denomination, with only
difference of locality. This fact warrants
a liberal expenditure on the part of the
counterfeiters in getting up a fac simiLe on
any one of the National Banks, which,
when detected on that particular bank; is
Immediately adapted to some other bank
by simply changing the locality, and so on
through the whole two thousand National
Banks; whereas, formerly, a counterfeit
on any State Bank, when detected, at once
became worthless.
For these reasons the Detector daily
grows Of more Importance to- the ub lie
than ever. Terms of subscription to Pc
terson's Counterfeit Detector, corrected by

better, too), at the exhibition in Beerys'
Hall, on last Thursday night, called a
sPanOrama of the Bible, of the War;" etc.
L admit the ''show" was poor thing, afld

that did pot justify the conduct of the boys.
The ladies left before the close of the ex-
hibition, lis they could not remain with
proprlety:
If the boys continue ahd persist in max
ing such noise and confusion, exhibitions
worthy of being patronized will not stop
here, but pass by, and those who always
behave and who would like to encourage
such as are calculated to interest and in
struct, are deprived, or compelled to 90
