RED TApE.-Red Tape has often been
burlesqued, but we doubt if q more extreme
case was ever recorded than the following,
credited to the English War Department
'Thcre is tradition, said to be historical,
concerning clerk in the war office who
once wanted o peg whereon to hang his hat.
To save the expenses Of a carpenter he ap-
piled for hammer and nail, with which
to drive it in himself Six months passed
before he received an answer to his request,
and he had long and set up a peg Of bis
own, when special messenger from the
Tower arrived in Fall Mall with hamme,
sent to him at last through the medium Of
numberless acquisitions and authorizations.
At the same time he was informed that il
was not Of the war officials to supply nails,
but that these would come to him from
Woolwhich, and after few months further
waiting, they really did arrive-a pound Of
nails, brought by great ambulance wagon,
with its half dozen horses and its dozen at
tendants." ....

In Mifflinyille, Columbia County, on Mon.
Hess, Esq, aged about 81 years.
Mr.. Hess was prominently known by the
people Of this county, having been elected
to important positions in his Township and
County on repeated occasions. In all busi.
ness transactions hc was upright and just,
and through careful attention to agricultural
and other pursuits he amassed q considera-
ble amount Of property. He died suddenly
and very unexpected, at his residence, not
having complained Of feeling i'll but veu,
short time. He had just returned from q
neigbboring store, where he had been trad.
ing, and fell dead in his yard before reach.
ing the door Of his dwelling. It is said he
did not stir nor speak after he fell. He
leaves wife, number of children, and o
large circle of relatives and friends to mourn
bis sudden demise. "Verily, in the midst
of life We are in DEATH"
In Benton township, March 18th, 1868,
John McHenry, ST., in the S3d year of his
age.
The subject of the above notice was born
at Still Water, Fishingcreek township, Co.
lumbia county, and is believed to have been
the first white male child born in the valley
Of Fishingcreek, above Orangevillc. He il
the last Of six brothers, all of whom were
well known throughout the county. By his
death one more Of the links that binds the
past to the present is broken. These old
people, God bless them, arc tho living his
tories Of events long since passed away.
We are interested in them, because they re.
cord events that we cannot well learn else.
where, and because VIC know their testimony
will be soon closed up and scaled from u:
forever.
Having been acquainted with the rife and
woods from his boyhood, he became, like
Nimrod Of old, "mighty hunter before
the Lord" and thousands of deer as well
as bears, wolves, and other wild animals
have fallen by his unerring aim. He was
so well acquainted with the woods that lati-
tude and longitude seemed to be natural
instinct; hence, wherever he hunted, whether
on his own native hills or in the vast and
intricate wilds of the mountains, he was never
at loss to know how to "strike his course"
for home. His extensive forest experience
made him versed in "hunting stories," and
nothing gave his children, grand children,
and friends greater pleasure than to listen to
his wild adventures or to join his ringing
laugh at the successful conclusion of some
bold encounter.
But Uncle John is gone! The rife Of
"The Old Hunter" is silent on the hooks,
and his pouch and horn unused upon the
peg. Yet long will they be associated in
the minds Of his family and many friends
with he who used them so successfully in life.
He was firm Democrat, q good citizen,
IN obliging neighbor, kind father, q cour.
teous gentleman and an honest man. Let
us hope that he has gone to enjoy the uu.
speakable pleasures Of that life that shall
never end. -
