nearly twenty-five years old, enlisted end

near the capitol building burned BY the
British. -.......-..
Mr.. Eaton, in his younger days. was
a man Of grea, Strength, possessed of
1.-THE. wiry body, under medium size, and
in the numerous personal encounters
quite common al the early day, became
quite famous for having never ''meI his
match"
In the war Of 1912 Eaton served with
the Virginia militia, under command of
General Mason, Virginiau, born in the
same county with Eaton, about twelve
years his junior, and he mos, popular
man in the army. 1t is more than proba'
BILE tina, military discipline wss very lax
in those times. and one day, at general
revie W Mason rode up and down the lines
proclaiming that he had a man in his
command who could whip anything in
the whole army. This challenge, sever
al times repeated, was at last responded
10 by a perfect gian, Of fellow from
Pennsylvania regiment who came stalking
down the lines. and asked General Mason
10 bring out his man.
The General ordered Eaton out Of the
ranks. lie was eyed by the Pennsylva-
man with about as much scorn as Goliath

ST.. LOUIS, Oct. 2O.--The first pas
senger train that ever crossed the
Mississippi River below st. Louis,
was transferred last evening from
Belmont, Missouri, to Columbus.
The train was a special and a very ell
egant one, containing Thomas Allen,
President of the Iron Mountain Rail-
road, and some forty prominent citi-
zans Of st. Louis, invited to accom-
pany him to the State Fair at Atlanta,
Georgia, and the Cotton Fair at Au-
gusta. At the latter place the track
will be laid to the fair grounds, and
this train will be exhibited at the
Fair. The passage of the Mississippi
River By this train will inaugurate a
passenger traffic between ST. Louis
and all points South without vexa-
tious delays and the inconvenience of
changing cars at Belmont and Colum-
bus. The excursionists were hand
somely received at Columbus, and on
their return a more formal reception
viii be given them.

LETTER FROM CHESAPEAKE CITY.

Mr.. EDITOR Il will try and comply
with your request and give the news of the
town and vicinity, although | assure you
there is very little material in this town for
letter of any interest. The citizens jog
along at the same old rate, and many find
the year near its close, lily prepared to put
on mourning for its departure but alas
the tears that could be shed over many of
its vices and i'll gotten gains, might float a
small craft. But as it is never too late to
do good, why not, with the close of the
year, lay aside repining, and take the New
Year by the hand, bound for an improve
ment on the past ; and then the hearthstone
of many a family might be made brighter,
and instead of Chesapeake City being so
well represented in the Courts for viola
ton of the Sunday Law, we might often
sit with composure. The health of our
town is good
The l. o. G. T. held an open Lodge
on the evening of the 18th. The exercises
consisted of reading, recitations speeches
and singing. AS it would consume too
much time to speak of each separately, |
will notice the most interesting and leading
ones. Remarks by the w. c. T.. Jos. II.
Brooks, were to the point. Next, our
young brother Cornelius Hudson, who, if
he would only lay aside a little bashfulness,
might erelong, become an orator. His
remarks were the outpourings of his o,on
heart, and well would it be for all young
men to take this young man as criterion.
Our little sisters Fillingamc and Buskirk
read well. Brother c. p. Mallery gave a
short but pithy address, anxious to know
what we had done and intended to do
Our Chaplain, Bro. Houck, became Jealous
in the cause, and made a speech, and it was
evident he meant all, for it is said with the
mouth the abundance of the heart is made
known but when the hands assist in max
ing plain the intents of the heart, methinks
it is more powerful. Mr.. j. NJ. Reed gave
short speech. The singing was delight
full. tell you Chesapeake can boast OF
talent, and all it wants is some one to coax
it out. What was most gratifying, was the
attendance of some of the pupils of the
Bayard School, whose behavior seemed to
bespeak the attention of not 4 few. Miss
L. M. Reed read a little story to them, and,
though small, they listened as attentively
as well deserving children of more advanced
years. This sister seems to think that the
little ones must be cared for make them
temperance children, and it is self-evdent
they will be temperance men and women
We are indebted to sister Sallie Buskirk fol
this improvement in our Order, and vote
of thanks is due this sister, who is ever
ready and willing to push along the car OF
Temperance. The Lodge purpose holding
another such meeting.
The young men of this town purpose
getting up IL literary association, the par
ticulars of which l will give in another
letter.
The Masonic fair is in progress, ant
promises to be grand success.
Rumor says that a farm in this neighbor
hood is to be disposed of in a grand scheme
at $25 Il chance. 100 acres are to be lait
off i'll 10 acre lots, 100 acres in building
lots, and 100 acres with all the farm build
ings, which is to be the capital prize.

PILOT TOWN ITEMS.

Cononingo Bridge.-Conowingo Bridge
Company have contracted with Henry
Silver and Josiah Scarborough to build a
span of the bridge one hundred and fifty
feet long, to be covered. The span will
connect the ravine bridge with the main
bridge. The work to commence in April,
1871. The bridge to be passable during
the time of building, except three days.
Raaroad.-Mr. Snyder has succeeded in
demolishing the Wild Cat Rock. He had
five holes drilled ten feet deep, which were
charged with nine kegs of powder, (ae5lbs).
The result was the blowing off of twelve
hundred cnbic yards of rock Mr.. Malone
has the abutments ready for the bridge
across the Conowingo creek.
Roads.-Mr. Bell has had a force of men
widening the road on the Conowingo hill
He is also improving the grade.
The RiDer.-The river is in rafting order
and the pilots are running the RATS to Port
that they were unable to get down on the
Spring flood. | believe everything in the
shape of a raft below Phite's Eddy is now
down.
Christmas. me to say in copclu-
sion that the readers of The Whiq in this
vicinity send you their Christmas greetings,
and hope they may always have as able and
fearless a journal in defence of morality
and right.

LOMBARDVILLE ITEMS.

4 Village ,otthouta Grogshop.-I presume
you are aware that there is village called
Lombardville, situated in the northeast
corner of the 9th District. 1t consists of
a store, wheelwright and blacksmith shops,
each doing a thriving business-and a
few dwelling houses ; and, to our great
relief, no tavern within two and a half
miles of us. There was rumor, a short
time ago, of having one started within a
mile of us, at the place formerly known as
the White House but fortunately two of
our old neighbOrs, whose land was adjoin-
ing, purchased the property between them,
and by SO doing have raised themselves in
the estimation of the order-loving and
moral portion of the community, and espe-
cially the ladies. AS wives and mothers
we thank them for so effectually putting
an end to our fears on that subject.
Improvements Generally. have
been some improvements going on among
us. A new barn has been built, several
dwelling houses repaired, new porches put
up, two new wells dug and pumps put in,
and many other things long needed have
been accomplished.
Neao School House-There is a slight
prospect at present that we are to have a
school-house erected in this vicinity. 1t
has been long needed, and we have lived
on hope deferred so long, that it "maketh
the soul sick" The Commissioners have
had a meeting, and laid out the new school
district but it seems hard that so many of
our little children should be deprived OF
| their winters schooling
