DEATH or 4 VETERAN TRAMP.-
Many people in this ci,y,eyen outside Of
the printing fraternity, will recollect
Tommy" Wallace, one Of the most
noted "tramps" in the topographic pro
fession. Forming a rowing habit in his
younger days, at which time he is said
to have been 4 good workman, he con
tinued his meanderin9s through many
years, generally on foot, only stopping
at place long enough to recruit himself
for another journey. The peculiarly
was that his habits were approximations
choice than necessity, since he is said to
have had sons and daughters, willing to
take care of him He would leave town
happy with two-dollar billin his peck
ct, or even with nothing but atull stom-
ach, and continued his mode of life
summer and winter until old age and
exhaustation compelled him to seek ref
uge in the county lnhrnaries during Sc
we're weather. \ letter from Bucryus
announces his death in the Crawford
County Inflmary on Wednesday last,
and his burial on Thursday. Tie was
probable seventy five years o!d.--CoE
umbus J0Wndi.
ssg" Well do we remember the above
veteran Tramp" Since we have been
located in Shephcristown, in his peram
bulations, he visited us twice. and each
time we filed his "space box" and sent
him on his way rejoicing.
Major Harry Sheetz, another "Nete
an Tramp" who is known by nearly
every publisher in the United States,
paid us a visit on Wednesday last, in
his perambulations. He generally Wis
its us about once a year He was
drum major in Gen. Breck cnridge's
corps, confederate army, and is yet an
uncompronising 'rcb.' We filed his
quad box and sent him on his way, a
happy man.

The elegant home of John f. Walls,
Esq, on the Berryyille road, a few hun
dred yards east of Winchester, was des-
troyed by fire on Saturday afternoon
last. Only ladies and children were in
the house at the time. The loss esti-
mated at $4,000, falls heavily upon Mr.
Wall, there being no insurance upon any
Of the property.
The Episcopal Methodist. of Balti-
more city, announces that the Rev. VIM
S. Baird. of the Baltimore Conference,
NJ. f. Church South. has become associ-

An exchange describing fashionable

ed to lady "and took her apart" 1t is
not very difficult feat to take a lady
"apart" these times, but there is very
little left Of her afterwards.

s3g" Musical JuBILEE-A irempnj ous
musical jubilee will take place in Bos-
ton, the noisy "hubb," where all the
noise of the United States is made.
Max Adler, editor Of the Ohio Cauca-
sin, giving description OF the lnstru-
ments to be used on that occasion says
They intend to do the thing upon an
enormous scale, clear through, at the
Boston Jubilee. They are said to be
working away now at a pump log, sixty
feet long, which viii be used for fife
for the grand orchestra. 1t will be
blown by nitro-glyccrine. And Bos-
ton foundry is casting a gigantic jews
harp, which will cover about one acre
Of ground. Ii will be played bya steel
thumb weighing ton, and worked by
thousand horse power steam engine.
George Francis Train will supply the
wind All they want now Is to bring
Vesuyius over and make a whistle of it
by blowing steam up through the era
ter. and to stretch sheepskin over the
mouth Of the Mammoth Cave fora drum
using telegraph poles for drumsticks.
and then this jubilee will be entitled to
credit as something respectable Moth
ing shall restrain us from attending this
concern at any sacritice-lt we get a pass.

following cheap and efectual remedy
for cut worm: After the corn is drop

a OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES MARBIE.-We
have heretofore referred to the several
varieties of marble which abound in
this vicinity, and the opinion we eX-
pressed of their excellence has been
fully confirmed by some of the most ex-
perienced marble cutters of New York
City to whom gentleman of this place
recently submitted several specimens tor
examination, al of the sorts sent were
pronounced to be Of superior quality,
and it was difficult to persuade large
importer Of European marble that Que
Of the varieties submitted to his inspec-
ton was not from Belgium, it being
fully equal in every respect, to what he
has heretofore been getting from that
country at the cost Of several dollars
per cubic foot. And yet this very stone
is used here for the most ordinary pur-
poses. Our Railroad will soon cause
this and other material interests in our
County to be developed and to contrib
ute greatly to the prosperity of our
people.
