THERE were fifty six signers of the Decla-
ration of American Independence on the
4th of July, 1776. At the Centennial Gel
ebration, which, amid great pomp and GER
emory, is to be made on the Fourth in
1876, at Philadelphia, it was supposed that
no children of any of the signers would be
present to grace the occasion. The daugh-
ter of Judge Samuel Chase, Of Maryland,
one of the signers, The wife Of Commodore
Barney, lately deceased, was supposed to
be the last of the direct and lineal descend
ants of the heroes of that immortal charter
of our liberties. 1t has been ascertain
ed, however, that there are now living
three daughters of Eldridge Gerry, for
mer Vice President of the United States,
and signer of the Declaration from Mas
sachusetts. Rather singular to say, two OF
them never married, aud belong to that
class Of ladies known as "old maids" 1t
is to be hoped that the lives of these VEN
cradle ladies-ths only direct link that con-
meets US with the authors Of that State
paper which made us Nstion-may be
generously preserved by Divine Proyi-
denee to a period beyond the great Nation
al anniversary TO which we have alluded,
and of which they viii be the most inter-
esting features. These ladies must be very
old, for their father was Vice President as
long back as 1813-nearly sixty years ago.

Gone Up.

Columbia friends of Justice Pat Walsh
sent him huge rattlesDake as lively tes-
timonial of their high personal regard. The
Squire appreciated the compliment, but did
not exactly admire the medium-in fact
was apprehensive that unless carefully
watched he might rattle out ofthe box and
do some mischief. BE knew that his South
Nashville friend Councilman M.
C. Cotton had paid some atten-
tionto snake culture, and there
fore directed that the rattling reptile should
be committed to the careful keeping of that
gentleman. The latter had lately gone out
of the snake business, and therefore de-
clined the profered kindness of Justice
Walsh. What to do with the snake then
became .vexed question Of the hour, and
finally it was agreed TO send him to an up
town drugstore, and have him quietly i'm
molsted in behalf the public safety. With
this view, cepious applications of chloroforn
were administered under the direction of
an experienced chemist-and the snake
died. His body is to be preserved as evil
dence Of his huge proportions and in appre-
ciation of the disinterested kindness OF JUS
tice Walsh's friends at Columbia.

Caught I'm the Act,

Bailey Joiner, an industrious individual
of the colored fraternity, tends truck patch
at the Ellistcn place, near the Fair Grounds,
and has lately had reason to suspect that
unauthorized persons were committing for
hidden Gepredations upon the fruits of his
industry. In order to render assurance
doubly sure, Bailey last night armed him
self with lockless flint-lock musket OF an
Gent New Orleans memory, and took a
secluded position for the purpose of await
ing events. About 10 o'clock the expected
depredator arrived and commenced work
upon the cabbages and potatoes of Bailey
Joiner, who said halt, and the depredator
halted. Bailey also said march,
and the depredator, catching a moonlight
glimpse of that harmless old musket,
marched. Not knowing what else to do
with his prisoner, Bailey informed him that
an attempt to escape would eventuate in
his certain destruction, and with this assur-
ance and that of the formidable looking old
field piece, he was enabled to convey his
unresisting prisoner to the police station at
the markethouse, where an order was given
for Elias to be imprisoned to await the
events of to-day. A bag containing the
vegetables stolen by Elias Hays was also
furnished, and retained TO serve as evidence
of the fact Bailey Joiner intends to prove
