to Past G. NJ Stuart, who alone, he believed,

and who alone can do the work. He paid glow
ing compliments to several Of the older mem

VALENTINES DAY.-To-day has been celebra-
ted, though Tut partially however, in this city,
as the festival of St. Valentine, and the duties
Of the post-ofice clerks have consequently been
very much increased.
is supposed by some that tho Festival OF
Valentine is merely rebaptizlng of the Roman
Lupercalia into Christian society and manners.
On the celebration of Lupercalia, the names OF
young women were deposited in vase, from
which they were drawn by the men as chance
directed. The pastors of the early Christian
Church, who by every means endeavored to
eradicate the Vestiges of Pagan superstltions.
substituted in the present instances the names
of saints instead of those of the women, and
as the festival of the Lupercalia had COM
menced about the middle Of February, they
chose St. Valentines Day for celebrating the
new feast, and accordingly the outline OF the
ancient was preserved
The gentry ia England, nearly five centuries
since, adopted the custom of choosing Valen-
tines as one Of their social sports. When the
opposite sex drew out the name of his or her
valentine, it was looked upon as an omen OF
their being man and wife afterward.
1t is recorded that on st. Valentines day
each bird Of the air chooses its mate. Our
ancestors, says contemporary, were pretty
close observers of nature, and there is but little
doubt that as they noticed the BIRDS which first
begin TO build and pair at this period, when the
weather is favorable, so natural an occurrence
might lead to youths and maidens initiating
the custom by selecting lovers, glad of any
amusement after the dark midwinter has pass
ed, and as far back as the day can be traced it
is linked with the mating of birds.

If he, or she, should wish to leave their house

Suicide.


Caleb Mckinney, of Wilmot, in this county,
committed suicide by hanging himself with a
rope, on Thursday last, the 10th inst. Mr.
Mckinney was about 80 years of age man
of fair education, good morals, and temperate
habits. He had been a soldier in the late war
of the rebellion, and had received severe
wound which disabled him from active la
Dor. His wound was constant source of
pain 70 him, and this, added to his limited
resources for obtaining livelihood, no doubt
conduced to his resolution to commit the act
of self-destruction He left note in writing
we understand, stating in substance, that life
was burden to hiR, and to relieve his friends
frsm his becoming burdensome to them, he
had resolved to leave the world.
A coroner's jury was summoned before JUS
tice Owen, consisting of the following per-
sons: T. Pacey, w. H. Haythorn, R. S. Shot
lift, A.sPierce, o. Gibbs j. H. Colt. The ind
ing OF the Jury, which has been forwarded to
this office, is made up according to the usual
legal formula, therefore unnecessary to pub
lish. The Jury express the opinion that the
deceased was led to the act in consequence of
suffering from his wound as above stated
