DEATH OF AN AGED CITIzEN.-Capl,

DEATH OF AN AGED CITIZEN. Gap.
Henry Bennett died in this town, on Sunday
morning last. aged IS years. Captain Ben.
nett was one Of the oldest citizens Of our
town. He was well known throughout the
county, from the fact Of his prominent con
nection with military affairs in his younger
days. He was a member of the Elkton
Cavalry troop, Capt. Whann, in 1872. OF
the sixty men who composed that troop there
are now, we believe, but three living. In
February, 1913, when the British burnt
Frenchtown, and came up to Fort Deliai.ce,
Capt. Bennett was one Of the - men who
vert under Major Armstrong from Cedar
Point across the fields to cut off the retreat
of the two boats load of British, who had
been sent to rcconnoitcr the town,-before
they could join the main body at French
town; but they were too late, and only Il few
shots were exchanged as the whole body of
the eremy retreated down the river. For n
number of years after the close of the war
there was a good deal of military spirit man
Tested here in which the Captain always
took very active part. Owing to his ad
vanced age, he did not participate in the late
war, but was duly represented by several
grandsons, who fought nobly under the Old
Flag i'll some of the bloodest battles of the
war.

Home Journal for 1866.

The Newspaper has become to such an ex.
tent the Book of the People, that journalism
has been elevated into department of our
literature. The number of weekly and daily
papers. religious, political, literary, scient.
tic, and miscellaneous issued in the United
States, the capital invested in them, and the
amount of literary ability exhibited in their
columns, indicate most strikingly the extent
to which we are reading people. Perhaps
the most useful class of all these issues is
the tasteful and elevated weekly paper,
which is now received into the family, is
read carefully by its members, father. moth.
er, lads and lass7s, and exerts upon the
home circle. week after week, the gentle in.
huences Of taste and cultivation, of racy
thought and pure expression. Pleasant
memories of fact and fancy, instruction and
entertainment gather around such sheet :
and its conductors are public benefactors in
their efforts to mend the morals and refine
the heart.
A fine Illustrative type of this class is
1.-The Home Journal published by N. p
Willis & Morris Phillips, New York. We
have long been among the readers of the
'Home Journal" and can bear testimony
to its excellence. Mr. Willis has a national
reputation as a veteran writer. In all that
is graceful, genial, and polished, he has but
few superiors as an author and journalist
Hence the "Home Journal is marked by a
pervading tastefulness. 1t is especially hap
pyin dealing pleasantly with light and agree.
able subjects. Its sketches of art, fashion,
amusement, books, music, matrimony, and
society are always sparkling; and its facetip,
gossip, and paragraphs of all sorts, are ever
entertaining. The arrangement of Messrs.
Willis Il Phillips for the coming year include
a number of valuable and effective improve
ments, and the Journal is in all respects lust

1t will be remembered that some weeks
ago Ma or Dixon, paymaster, was shot anG
killed near Alexandria, Va, by DR.. Mad
dox, of Fauquier county. After the death
of Major Dixon, who was one of the staunch
est Union men in the country, the ex-rebels
determined to drive his unprotected widow
from the county of Fanguier, and they pro.
ceeded in guerrilla style to burn her house
over her head, at the dead hour Of night A
kind Providence, however, averted the doom
intended, and the fire kindled against her
door, failed to ignite the house. This at.
tempt was sufficient however, to drive Mrs
Dixon from her home and she is again an
exile in Washington from her home and
from her native State, as she has been dur
ing the past five years,
