AN aAGEDeMAN,--Mr. John Gross
rnicklc, residing near Wolfsville, Fred
erick county, Md, is 81 years of age.
His mind is clear. and his eyesight ex-
ccllent; and had he not been partially
disabled by a kick from horse, rcceiv-
edssome years since, he would be as
physically active as most men at sixty.
He distinctly remembered seeing Cen
cral, Washington. He and his father
were driving a team near Baltimore
when theaG eneral and his escort passed
them in their carriages; this happened
about 1890, He very iatelligently de-
scribes the personal appearance of the
stEather Of his Country well as
describing his escort and equipage. The
old gcntleman's counteDance glows with
peculiar enthusiasm when he says,
I0I stood so close TO the" roadside that
the General Is horses nearly .tramped on
me. The General was tall, fresh,
grave looking man, and smiled upon
Us as he passed by" Mr.. Grossnickle
gave US d vivid and umusing account of
trip he took from Columbia county,
Pennsylvania, to the province of Cana
da; this occurred more than sixty years
ago. He drove a wagon in an emigrant
train; there were 10 wagons and 50 per,
sons in all; the horrible roads and wild
scenery witnessed On the route are
graphically described BY this aged vet
eran. The supreme disgust he had FOR
Canada, on arriving there, and the hasty
manner 10 which he returned to the
Estates" is expressed with such vim
as to show the old mans feelings on
the subject. There are but few men
living to-day who have seen the I'm
laortal Washington, and very few. in
deed, who can relate such an experience
as our old friend Booasboso' Odd
