DEATH OF REV. E. R. VEITcH-We publish
the following from friend, in relation to this
highly popular and distinguished minister
A sojourn Of eight years amongst the people
Of this Valley will make this notice prove in
teresting to his many friends:
Rev. Eldridge r. Veitch entered the Balti-
more Conference, as o travelling minister, in
1881. Besides occupying some of the more
prominent pastoral charges of his denomina-
ton, he was several times assigned to the of.
fee of Presiding Elder, and during eight years
of ministerial service in this relation, resided
in Staunton. At the regular annual meeting
Of his brethren and co-laborers, which assem-
bled in Alexandria, February, 1866, he was
elected delegate to the General Conference
held in New Orleans the following April, and
appointed Presiding Elder of the Winchester
District Having returned from New Orleans,
he located his family in Newtown, Frederick
county, Va, and entered vigorously upon the
duties Of his Office, with probably no fore
shadowing of his near approach to the River
Of Death. AS early as November his health
became seriously threatened, and on the 10th
Of the present month, at y o'clock, T. NJ, he
died in great peace.

GRAVE OF j. WILKES BoorH.
mpltane neo2sly, almost with the pub
iication of the mysterious diary Of J.
Wilkes Booth, comes forth book of
what purports to be the experience
of the notable LafayetteL. @. Baker,
chief detective of the War Depart
ment during the. war, and who was
finally dismissed from his general
ship at the instance of the President,
for having undertaken to dominate
the White House. In this book,
Baker, or those who got it up for
him, essays to solve the mystery that
attended the final disposition of the
remains of John Wilkes Booth.
Stories were ahoat that the body was
strangely mntilated, that the head
was removed, the heart taken out,
and that finally the poor corpse was
mysteriously buried with number
of other felons, and the ground
smoothed over, SO that the grave
might never again be recognized.
The fncts, according to Baker, (who
ought to know are that, when the
body lay upon the gun-boat, at Wash
lngton, great pains were taken to
ascertain its identity beyond q aues-
ton. This done, Surgeon General
Barnes removed about two inches of
the cervical containing the vertebrm
through which the bullet of Boston
Corbett passed, and had it prepared
as surgical specimen, which can be
seen by any curiosity hunter in the
Army Medical Museum ut Washing
ton, duly labelled and numbered.
BY this time, the body of Booth had
become very offensive, 1--WE quote,
"owing to the condition in which It
mad remained after death; the leg,
broken in jumping from the box to
the stage, was much discolored and
swollen, the blood from the wound
having saturated his under-clothing
With the assistance of Lieut.. l.. 3.
Baker, I took the body from the gun
boat direct to the old penitentiary,
the old arsenal grounds.
The building had not t:been used as
prison for ~some years previously.
The Ordnance Department lad filed
the ground-foor cells with fixed am
one of the largest of these
cells was selected as the burial-place
of Booth; the ammunition was re-
moved, n large fiat stone lifted from
its place, and rude grave dug; the
body was dropped in, the grave filled
up, the stone replaced, and there
rests to this hour all that remained of
John Wilkes Booth.r

A Town UNDER THE SNow.-A Cali
tornla paper gives rather hard-to-
believe story of the depth of the
snow on the Sierra Nevada Noun
tains in February and March, by de-
scribing visit of n merchant named
Adams from the valley to the mining
town of Meadow Lake, on the top of
the mountains:
He secured q pair of snow shoes.
and took the tracks of the parties
who had gone over the day before.
After some hours of hard travel, he
arrived where the town should be,
but not a house was visible. While
he was looking around, a man sud-
denly came up out of the snow, like
norman out of the seq. Adams
asked him if he could tell him where
Meadow Lake was, not knowing, as
yet, whether the object before him
was o man or n spirit.
"Why," said the fellow, "you are
right on the plaza"
Adams asked if he could show him
where the store of Adams & johnson
was.
ooh, yes! come along"
A few shoves on n pair of snow
shoes soon brought them to round
hole in the snow, and Adams was told
that that was the hole which led to
the store. There were stairs made in
the snow like n spiral stairway, twist
ing several times around the hole in
making the descent Finally he mr.
rived at the bottom, and was aston
ished to find his friends there, happy
and gay, and ready to vouch for the
country being one'of the richest ever
discovered. From the store they
travelled over town through tunnels.
Every one seemed to be contented
with his lot. The citizens seldom go
to the top of the snow, except when
there is q snow shoe race, at which
time the whole town turns out"

FLORIDA PARADIsE.-A New
England twoman thinks she has
found paradise in Florida. She writes
as follows:
81 believe I have at last found the
fabulous country where the month
of March is delightful. My visit
here has been like sunshine and
spring to frost-bitten plant. I
have had more life-more rest
more appetite-more conscious plea
sure in existence, than l. have had
for years in New England. Here
must be my future home, for at least
half the year, if I am to live and do
anything. Here I am living wo-
man; ut the North I am for six
months half dead one."

letter from Andrew M. Wilson, at
Galveston, Texas, to the New Orleans
Pfcdyune, gives an account of an in
terview with gentleman in Calcutta,
who had won n bet of $500 that Booth
was alive. and had produced the oath
OF two men, selected by the man with
whom the bet was made, who swcxe
that they had seen him.
This writer says that Booths where
abouts is known to five persons only,
who know that he is Booth. He is
living in obscurity, far from his ma
tive land, and is perfectly safe, as his
disguise is so complete that his own
brother would not recognize him.

Of the most beautiful things of the kind we ever

The day was beautiful, and every body appeared

short address to the children. Then there was
dinner, an abundance of everything good being
served out, and all having plenty, and some be-
ing left. After dinner Mr.. Atkinson made a
speech, after which Adam W. Long, superinten-

cellent speech.
There was martial band, and also an excel

The whole affair was admirably conducted and
did great credit to the people in that part of our
county. All tin fine spirits, feeling that it had
been good to be there 1t was one of the most
pleasant days of our life, aud long will it be re
