SUDDEN DEATH OF A JEFFERsoNIAN
IN BALrIMoRE.-This community was
shocked on Friday last, TO learn Of the
sudden and unexpected death of WIN.
F. Turner, Esq, well known and
highly respected citizen of this county,
who died suddenly Of ancurlsm Of the
heart, in Baltimore on Friday morning.
Mr. Turner usually spent the winter
in Baltimore, and had been in the city
several weeks. He had been sick about
ten days, but on Friday morning SEEM
ed much better. A servant in attend
dance left the room moment, and when
he returned found that Mr.. Turner had
expired. Mr. T. was brother of the
lamented Geo. w. Turner, Of this coun-
ty, who fell in defence of the laws and
honor of his State during the memora-
bic John Brown raid. lie was at one
time member OF the Virginia Legisla-
ture, and had been for years a promi-
inent and influential citizen Of this coun-
ty. His remains were brought to
Charlestown, and inferred in the Epis-
copal graveyard on Sabbath morning
laSt.-Spirit.
SURGICAL OrERArIoN-A successful
surgical operation was performed on
Tuesday last, by DR.. &. L. Richardson,
whereby Career was removed from
the hand of Mr. Edward Spaw, of this

is now hoped speedy cure will be et-
fected.->pirH

Willis, little son of Mr.. Thomas Lack
land, of this county, had his skull slight
ly fractured by being thrown from q

X. HUME BUrCuER Eso.-This gen

learn from letters received from portions

Delegates, to which body he was elect
ed by so handsome vote of the people
of Jefferson at the August election

Mr.. GREELEY'S DAUGHTERS.

The New York correspondent Of the
Boston Herald writes:
lin looking over your issue of the past
week l see that you have been tempted
into copying the romantic story of Miss
Ida Greeley's alleged engagement to the
purser of the Inflated Missouri. | was un-
fortunate enough to be the original pub
Usher OF the report, my information be-
ing derived indirectly from the gentle
man himself, and ain happy now to have
the opportunity to correct it. 1t is gaining
widespread publicity and has been source
OF great annoyance to the young lady.
The facts are these: One of the late Mrs.
Greeley's peculiarities was to keep her
daughters as much out of the society of
young people as possible. So strictly has
This discipline been enforced that 1t has
been matter of common notoriety where
ever the Greeleys have lived. Mrs. Greeley
and her family returned from their trip to
Nassau two years ago, on the Missouri.
The purser was very attentive to the in
valid old lady, and she took quite . fancy
to him. After their arrival here Mrs.
Greeley invited him to call upon her at
Chappaqua. despite Miss Ida's remon-
strances that this departure from her rule
in favor OF a gentleman would set people to
| talking. Mr.. Purser called and stayed a
week The young ladies received him
courteously and Mrs. Greeley thought moth
ing too good for him. When he returned
to New York he found that the steamer
was not ready to sail, and he Immediately
telegraphed to Chappaqua that if it was
agreeable be would go up and spend two
or three days more with the family. Miss
Ida, who had become annoyed at the young
gentleman's evident regard forher, refused
10 answer the telegram, but he went to
Chappaqua notwithstanding. and stayed
| three days. After that Miss Ida never saw
him. probably because she had come TO
| loathe the very sight of him. He seems to
have been either very weak-minded OF
very unprincipled, for he threw out many
| hints of his intimacy with the family and
Miss Ida to his friends in this city, and
when rallied at his supposed engagement,
had not the manhood to deny it. His story.
under the circumstances was readily be-
lieved. He is dead now, but justice to
Miss Greeley requires this correction.
1t is fact not generally known that Miss
Ida Greeley is devout Roman Catholic
In her childhood she was so wild and full
of mischief that she was a source of great
anxiety to her invalid mother and work
bound father. They sent her to convent
and the Sisters converted her. Miss
Gabrielle follows her mothers belief"

Under the above caption the editor
of tho Camden Journal writes as
70 lows: Every lover of his native

at this time to aid in bringing to

VIII have plundered US for the last
thr years. Every fact known to
any ono which is likely to be of as
sist nee in this great work should be

shown to the thieves.
"The case stands thus About
three and half years ago the Ropub-
licau party came into power in this
State. They found debt, all told,
floating and funded, Of less than six
millions Of dollars. In three years
that debt has been tripled, nearly
quadrupled, by the thieves. Govern
or SCOTT has made during that period
six different statements of the debt,
and unblushingly and knowingly fal-
sified every one Of them. =
"The taxes of the State have been
qucdrupled during tho three years,
and poor people as we all, white and
color cd are, we oannot do what we
will, pay them and prosper. 1t is

"Every prominent official in tho

PERI etrated. The gravest charges
against them have been mot by silence.
Very feeble attempts have been
made to throw the burden of guilt
upon the hirelings ircady to do tho

most outrageous frauds have become
so common that people have almost
ceased to be Interested in thoir rcci-

"Now, however, since the entering

Singular Effect Of q Dream.

A remarkable instance of the effect
of fright in dream occurred in an
interior tosn Of Wisconsin reoently.
A young man, school teacher, just
married, spent an evening in reading
to his wife incidents of Indian life and
warfare in tho western country. Co.
ing to bed with his mind filled with
the subject, he dreamed ofliving some
of the scenes he had been reading of,
during which he had lost his scalp at
the hands of redskin, receiving
thereby terrible fright. On being
awakened by the stir in the house in
tho morning he found himself unable
to speak, and could only oommuui
cate with the others by writing--thu,
| relating his dream. At last accounts
he had not recovered his speech.

Start the Hogs.

The Kansas Farmer gives this SEN

farmer who would be successful in
fattoning hogs, is, commence feeding
early. The practice that has pre-
vailed SO long, to let tho hogs run un-
til the middle Of October, is orronc.
Gus, and we wonder that it has lasted
so long. But it is ono of those Gust ms
handed down to us by our fathers,

Everybody has cure for this trou.

affords immediate relief. An appli-

Resumption of Spccic Payments.

AS Senator Sumner pithily says,
"the best way to resume-'s TO re-
sumo" Tho pretext upon which the
Government bases is action, viz. :
that the gold in the Treasury must be
held to pay off the interest bearing
bonds, is clearly ridiculous, for the
mere fiat of Congress making Treasua
ry notes Of equal value with gold
would give such confidence in the
currency that holders of bonds would
as soon receive their interest in notes
as in hard money. Thus confidence
in tho paper currency Of tie country
would be restored in one moment. 1t
requires no tedious process, no long
monotonous debates in Congress, to
effect what the whole country except
handful Of monopolists 80 much de-
sire, and what would do annmount Of
good sufficient in the ends attained
to justify its effectuation even if it
were not intrinsically right and just.
Of this there can be no doubt.
A bill to provide for tho payment
of duties on imports in Treasury notes
was introduced in tho House of
Representatives on Monday: and
referred to the Committee on Bank.
ing and Currency. 1t is to be hoped
that this committee will report ia.
vorably, and that Congress will take
steps Immediately to resume specie
payments.
