The Oldest Man in America.

The Detroit Post gives an account of a
man who lives in that city who is one
hundred and fourteen years old. In low
cabin at the upper end of a narrow alley,
there dwells poor negro, known among
his kindred as +" Old Father Robinson" "
Unlike many old people, his faculties have
been retained unimpaired. Up to this
last week his vision was undimmed and
his hearing unusually acute; but for the
last few days he has failed rapidly, until,
IN his own expressive language, the
clock Is almost run down"
Robinson was born in August, 1853,
on the farm of Colonel Du Chielle, in
East Maryland. Through the war of the
Revolution he followed the fortunes of
his master, serving him in the capacity
of body guard. 1t was interesting to sit
and listen to the old mau few months
ago, before the film of death had obscured
his mental vision, and hear him tell of
the exploits of the Revolutionary soldiers,
and describe the terrible scenes through
which he had passed. A sabre cut on
the top of his head and the loss of a fore
finger are the mementoes of his valor.
With especial pleasure would he relate
how the British army surrendered at
Yorktown, and would depict the scene
when the proud Lord CORVALLIS deliv-
cred up his sword to General Washing
ton.
At the battle Of New Orleans, fought
on January 8, 1915, when General Jack
son overthrow the British host under
Packenham, Robson also participated in
the same capacity as in the Revolutionary
war. He could describe the scenes of
his youth with clearness and vigor. In
his humble cabin many of our wealthy
aud respectable citizens have frequently
assembled to minister to his wants; in re-
turn for which he would repeat the story
Of his life.
AS the reward of his faithful services
Robson was manumtted some forty
years ago. He has been married several
times, but his children and his wives
were sold from him. His present wife,
with whom be has been living over twenty
years, is ffty-ninc years old, he being
nearly double her age. When over
eighty years Of age he was still robust
man, six feet in height and quite erect.
Such is the result of temperate and
moral life.

Prices of farms in Bucks county have
stood at very near the old fgures-cer-
tainly there has been no perceptible de-
cline, and the market has not been brisk
enough to cause any sensible advance
There is lively demand for farms to rent,
and there will be good deal Of chang
ing About among renters in the SPRING
Rents for farms in good parts of the coun-
ty will average about FIVE dollars per acre.
This is rather better for the farmer than
paying Sl00 to $40 for the land, and six
per cent. interest on the money needed
to pay for it-Backs County Mteliyehcer.

the Mississippi eastward, till its regularity
was broken by ridge of hills indented
with rugged and craggy peaks; the base
sloping gently to an even surface, and
clothed with the choicest trees which
flourish in tropical climates. 1t termiu-
ated at the foot of the Palm Ridge, and
rounded through the low valleys for some
hundred yards south. Here the banks
we're steep and rocky, and here the tragic
story of the " Lovers" takes its rise. 1t
is as follows - 1t was during the Revolu
ton, that a rich and opulent family set
tied their residence at Ellmount. They
were emigrants, or fugatives from Tou-
lon in France, and were obliged to flee
from political persecution. NJ. Remi-
court had an only daughter, beautiful
maiden in her seventeenth year, who,
some way or other only known to lovers
themselves, contracted friendship with
an English youth, who also had been an
emigrant some years before. Young
Justin loved the chase; the tolls of the
hunter were his delight, and in one of
his ramblcs in search of his favorite game
he encountered the pretty Jeanne. More
more than once they met. There was
fatality in their loves, and although
their meetings were secret, Nj. Remi
court soon discovered that his daughter
loved an enemy of his country, and set
his heart against it. He watched their
rendezvous and surprised them. He
shot the young hunter while reciting his
tale of love, and threw his dead body into
the lake. Jeanne went home with the
murderer, she said nothing alter the first
outbreak of sorrow was over, but when
the summer came she was nowhere to be
found; she sought the bed of the calm
waters in search of him she loved. The
story is traditional, and it is asserted that
they are seen nightly on the grassy bank
renewing their troth-piight, or sailing
over the moonlit surface in affectionate
embrace.

Telegraph Company Liable for Error

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. II. Judge
Read to day gave judgment against the
Western Union Telegraph Co., for DANA
ges because of loss by error in dispatch.
Messrs. Kohn & Menks, u firm doing bu-
siness in this city, some time ago sued
the Western Telegraph Company, alleg-
ing in their complaint that they sent a
telegraphic dispatch by defendants to
persons in Detroit, asking whether GER
tain firm there was good for a note of
81 900, to which the reply, "not good
for any amount" was dispatched, but the
defendant delivered the reply, making it
" note good for any amount" whereupon
the plaintiffs sold to persons who were
not responsible, and lost the value of
their goods The defense offered certain
testimony of the effect sometimes produc-
ed by changes of the atmosphere upon
dispatches, and the jury rendered ver-
dict for plaintiff for 1917 4S, subject to
the opinion of the Court on certain re-
served questions of law.

The Pittsburg Commercial of January
l3 says John w Steel, familary known
as johnny" Steel, and somewhat dis
tinguished as an "oil prince" heving for
considerable length OF time enjoyed the
princety income of $4,000 per day, on
Thursday filed in the United States Dis
trlet Court voluntary petition in bank
ruptcy. Many OF our readers will re-
member the romantic history of his ex-
ploits in the East, Published some time
ago, during which be is reported to have
squandred several hundred thousand dol
lars. After having "sowed his wild oats"
and losing his oil farm, he found himself
in rather straie ehtcneG circumstances, and
was recently compelled to earn living
by driving an oil steam. His indebted
uess, as set forth in his petition, amounts
to over 100000. Some of the items are
quite heavy, a few of which we note -
To Henry w. Kanaga, of the Girard
House, Philadelphia, he owes S19,824;
to William A. Galbraith, attorney at law,
Fire, $4,000; j. T. Caldwell & Co.,
Philsdelphi for jewelry, $5,S05; John
ID. Jones, harness, Sl,250; VIM. Horn
& Co, for cigars, 1852 f. IL Conklin,
Philadelphia, liquors, s2,O24 Phelan &
Collender, Philadelphia, for billiard ia
bles, 81 800 to an unknown creditor, for
oil paintings, s., 200; to the account for
hats, $500. a considerable amount OF
his Indebtedness is for money borrowed,
judgments, sc. When Johnny" took
notion to rent a hotel for few days, he
would do so and whenever he saw any
thing that pleased his fancy, he was boand
to have it, regardless of cost. Perhaps
no man in the United States ever squan-
dered as much money in the same space
of time
