TO the Editor, Of as 1fai. zt,e,tigencer.
I am aware, Messrs Editors, that am
now about to tread upon dangerous ground,
and ask your sympathies. This letter, accor-
ding to promise is to be devoted to the La
dies of Bel Air and vicinity ofthe olden time.
This is a delicate task to be Voluntarily as
sumed-particularly when it is remembered
that unmarried ladies never pass the age of
twice fifteen. If should happen to name
one still in u state of single blessedncss who
was IN her teens forty years ago, everybody
Will know she has remained SO from choice
and honor her for moral heroism very
rare in this capricious, speculative world of
ours. .s--o
1t is singular freak in nature, and hap
py phase in human vicissitnde that a lady
never passes thirty until after marriage, I'M
less she chooses to do SO, and am sure I, for
one, am glad of it, for nothing could be more
repugnant to. my sense of the grand and
beautiful than an old and decre,,id angel
Thus much by way of introduction to the
delicate task before me. rfH8ii1t 4
There were but few single ladies in BelAir
at the period of which write. will try
to name them. There was Miss Adelia Nc
Kinney, three Misses Hays, Miss. Margaret
Maulsby, Miss Harriet Bond, Miss Mary
Ann Jones, Miss Mary Richardson, and two
Misses Robinson. These are all that / re-
mcmbermore distinctly Miss McKenney was,
perhaps, rather the eldest of those l have en-
umerated, possessed fine personal appearance
and was said by those who knew her best.
to be more than ordinarily intellectual. She
was large, graceful and prepossessing, and al
though she was kind and social, never had
the moral courage to look her straight i'm the
face when she accosted me, as she often did,
because, although but q boy, / had sense en-
ough to be aware of my own mental inferior
ity. A lovely trait in her character was,
great fondness for. and attention to, her aged
parents. HA@
s.s Although saw the Misses Hays nearly
every day have strangely forgotten their
given names, though think they were Sally,
Mary and Amelia, and may not give them
in the order of age. Although reared in af-
fucnce, with all the advantages of education
and ornament, they were exceedingly social
unassuming and affable. Iheard of che mar
riage OF the eldest and most delicate of the
three to my friend Sam, Galloway some years
after LEFT Bel Air The next in age, and /
think her name was Mary, was tall and
stately, with a fash Of hilarity and Joyous
ness in her brilliant dark eye. The features

ture can go, on the exclusive ground that he

has beenput upon standard scale, and Turns
out to weigh but e7O. When q senator ofthe
United States elected for 400 hundred falls

pretty pass A st. Domingo letter states that
the American Company continues possession
of Alta Vcla and the reported sale of it to a
Frenchman by Baez amounts to nothing
probably beyond lien on the securities paid

The revolution in Seybo has occasioned great
excitement in the capital and Baez finds him

Washington dispatch says that a little after
eight O'clock, on the evening of the 10th
instant, young woman named Annie O'Neil
was discovered in one of the corridors of the
White House, running toward the private
apartment of the President, who, when asked
what she wanted there, replied: II am sent
by God Almighty to kill Andrew Johnson
Being taken into custody, an old-fashioned'
double barrellcd pistol, unloaded, was found
in her possession. 1t appears that she had

noon, and concealed herself in the meantime.
She was evidently laboring under an attack
Of insanity, said to have been caused BY the
apprehension that she would lose the entire
savings of herself and sister, gained in the
Treasury Department during several years
past, and invested in little homestead for
her family, and which would have to be Civ
en- up, because it was purchased under tax
title. The Oxford (Pa) Press gives a table
which exhibits the mean temperatur of the
past month, january for the several years
from 1851 to 1869, inclusive. This table shows
that although the past month was Unusually

PRoTRAcTED MEETING.--Since Saturday
last protracted meeting has been in progress
at the Methodist Protestant Church, in this
place. We have not learned with what sue
cess the meeting has thus far been attended;
but from the known energy and industry of
Rev. Mr.. Shermer, under whose charge it is
being conducted, we think that we may con-
fidently look for many good results from it.
Besides the Rev. Mr.. Shermer, there are
many active, jealous and exemplary men,
bers, acting in conjunction with him. Among
this number may be named the Rev. Amos
FL. Greenfield, who, we think. is among the
most useful members of the church, as he is
.ofthe community in which he lives. r. 81.
