Dear Sir 1t may interest yourscltand
some of your readers to know how our

The enlargement Of the Hog was the
main issue III the contest, and strange 10

all, it has been decided both ways-the
Burgess elect, being 'straigh: omhog
man, and the Council 10 aman 'strai ght
in on the question. The beast, how
ever. it is believed, will remain i'll con-
fnement, but with hopes TO his friends
of his early release either upon legal
grounds or public consideration, or.pos-
sibly both. The following IS the sue

Es5- PoToMAC RIFLEs.-Tho annual
reunion OF the surviving members Of
the old Potomac Rifles, took place at
Morgan's Spring, on Saturday last.
This company, it will be remembered,
was organized about the year 1882, UNI
der the command of the late Col. John
| +. Hamtramck. and was the pride OF
the State of Virginia. There are yet
but few left to keep up the pheasant
memories of the past" and most OF
whom have been summoned 10 the last
roll call.
At half past eleven o'clock the mem
bers formed i'll line and marched to
Morgans Spring, under command OF
Lieut.. Edward Lucas, to the tune tthe
soul-inspiring music furnished by james
Greenwood, tifer, and Jacob Sheet and
John Sheetz drummerS.
At the Spring pleasant interchange
of ''old memories" took place, rs well as
the merits Of many well filled baskets
were discussed. An exceedingly pleas
ant time was had, and we trust that the
veterans will live to enjoy many more
happy reunions. OF the OLD Rifles, the
following members were present
VIM Rightstine, VIM. G. Butler DR..
Robert Lucas, Charles A. Keyser, Adam
Rightstine, Geo. Nichols, Joseph " els
hans, Edward Lucas, James y, Osbourn.
James Osbourn, John J. Nansant. VIM,
Stephens, Isaac Ch,pline, Jacob Shcetz.
James Greenwood. John Ronemous,
Cornelius lOntz.
OF Col. IIarper's Artillery Company,
which was organized prior to the Rifles,
the following invited guests were
present: Abraham Harris, Elijah Rick
ard, Lewis Wysong, Thompson John
son. Ofthis splendid company, but few
are left to tell the tale, and in short
time all will have passed from the stage
of action, all will have been summoned
to the call Of the last "revilee.' OF this
Company, since the last re-union,tweIve
months. Mr.. Wesley Bramhall, has been
summoned to his long home.
Before departing from the Spring, >
resolution was adopted to meet here,
after at the Spring, instead of meeting
in town and marching to the Spring.
A resolution Of thanks was also
rendered to Col VIM. A. Morgan for
the use of the Spring and grounds.
Thus, another reunion Of our veteran
soldiers has taken place, and who will
be present at another meeting is 4
solemn subject for reflection.

psy- SENSATION RUMOR-For some
weeks past rumor has been afoat i'll
this community that a Federal Quarter
master, belonging to the Federal army,
during the war, had buried some $780,
900, in gold and greenbacks, under the
large white oak tree about q mile from
town, on the left of the road leading to
Dufiields, and that few nights ago he
came for his treasure and took il away.
1t is said that the QuartermaSter was
compelled to bury the money in order
to keep the rebels from capturing the
treasure, who were hotly pursuing him
at the time. 1t is evident that some
body was digging for something, as
we saw the trench, which was dug, Our
self, on Saturday last. y part of 4
wooden box was also lying in the
trench, which. it is supposed, contained
the money. Mr.. Wesley Myers, who
resides near the spot, states that the
digging was done after night, and that
the TRACKS of vehicle could be seen the
next morning after the digging was
done. The trench is formed in a semi
circle around the roots Of the tree, and
Judging from the amount of earth
thrown up, and the depth Of the trench,
considerable labor was performed. For
what purpose it was done, we can only
leave our readers to conjecture.

Ny dear DR.. Audrews-Iour letter
has been forwarded to me at this place,
where ! am spending few weeks with
my family shall hope to be at home
about October LIST, and will there send
Won abstracts of the Ohio statutes. The
feature in these statutes that gives them
their efficiency is, that every person who
cells liquor or intoxicating drinks of any
kind to a drunkard, thus contributing
to his ruin, does it at his peril, being
liable in damages to his wife and chill
dren. for all the pccuniary damages sus-
tanned by them, III consequence OF the
intempcrancc of the husband, and The
owner Of the premises, the landlord, il
he knowingly suffers such traffic to be
carried on, is liable also. You can Judge
of the terrors Of the statute to vendors,
from the fact that all the large hotels in
Columbus, and | believe over the State
generally, have closed up their saloons,
and sell no Intoxicating liquors in VIC
lation of the law. The law only applies
to sales Of liquors to be drunk on the
premises where sold. Our experience
is that juries are very stern in dealing
with this class of offenders. Thepublic
sentiment in Ohio is very favorable TO
the law, and | do not think it can ever
be repealed or modified, except for the
purpose Of making it more efficient
Most truly yours,

JOHN W. ANDREWS,

Ey- TIE DEATH OF a VENERABLE
WoMAS.-Died at Ferry Hill, the resi-
dencc Of Mrs Douglas, after 4 life be
vond fourscore and ten, Miss Jane Nc
Clellan. This aged woman was born in
Ireland and her early life WAS spent IN
the service of the Douglas family IN
Scotland and Ireland. She had nursed
the late Rev. Robert Douglas while a
child, had been faithful servant i'll his
fathers family for 50 years, and was the
nurse of his youngest son in this coun-
try. She came to the United States
about 26 years ago. since which time she
has lived in Mrs. Douglas family as qul-
city as her energy and her industry
would permit The death of Mr.. Doug
las was a blow from which she never full
" recovered. And yet while she en-
ploycd the remnant of her physical
strength 80 far - TO continue the care
OF her garden bed this season, and but
two weeks before her death, it was
found that she had anticipated its com
inr and had collected the minutest arti-
cles necessary for her burial She had
lived the lite of strict Presbyterian
and Us such she died. Without disease
or suffering few days ago, che was
confined to her bed by weakness her
intellect was mimpaired to the end; and
at last on "Wednesday morning when
she found she could neither eat nor
drink, she said it was well, as she would
soon be at rest. \ few minutes after
she went to sleep, and in that sleep, her
soul went quietly to where beyond
these voices there is peace"
She was buried in the family lot, in
the Reformed Cemetery, with the sacred
offices of Rev. Mr. RoSSiter; and she
now rests near the friend whom she had
followed across the Ocean-oyer whose
cradle she had sung and over whose
coffin she had wept.
If a long life ofpurity and charity, of
industry and devotion to duty, rounded
by christian faith which never falter-
ed, has had no ample recompense here,
we may feel assured she has gone where
she will have christians welcome and
a rich reward.

A CARD.

To THE EDITOR OF THE REGISTER -
In your issue of to day, you have an ar
tiele condensed from the Willlansport
Pilot. in reference to the action OF the
MARYLAND Legislature with regard to
the Confederate dead OF Sharpsburg.
The Legislature appropriated the sum
of s. 900 for the collection of our dead
on that field and elsewhere in the viclnl-
ty. and in the same act, chartered the
washington Cemetery to be located
within one mile of Hagerstown. Gov.
Bowie appointed Board of Trustees
under that act, whose duty it was made
to execute it. Your error is in suppos
ing that, mot the first effort has been
made toward carrying ont this Christian
purpose" There was some delay, ur.-
avoidable perhaps, in procuring proper
location for the Cemetery, but the Irus-
tees finally purchased a portion OF Rose
Hill Cemetery, near this place beau
tifnl SPOT and the most suitable one
within their reach and their means.
Herein washington Cemetery has
been gracefully laid out, and to it, The
bodies of the Confederate dead who fell
at Sharpsburg are beingrapidly removed
and buried. The work Will go ON as
speedily as possible, until our means are
exhausted. and it will be our purpose to
accomplish as much as possible with the
small amount of money under our con-
troll.
The Legislature Of Pennsylvania, IN
response to memorial which | LAID
before it, Appropriated the sum OF go,
600 to remove the Confederate dead
from Gettysburg to washington Gem
etery." and we hope that work may
soon begin, and that many of our gal
liant brothers who are now scattered over
snndry battle-ticlds, may soon be gath
cred together aud at rest in the beauti-
tnl grounds we have chosen for them.
