WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. II. 1SI2
PrObGbititieS.-The low barometer at
Cape Hatteras will probably move north
eastward away from the coast, with north
east winds and threatening weather ex-
tending to the New England coast Tues
day. The low barometer in the Missouri
Valley will extend east over Illinois, with
increasing northwest winds on the upper
lakes, and southwest winds and threaten
ing weather from the Ohio Valley to Texas.
Dangerous winds are not anticipated for
Monday night, except on the upper lakes

Fast Time by the q. $. Mail.

We received letter yesterday, mailed at
Pleasant Postoffice, Claiborne county, Ten
nessee, on the 18th of November last. 1t
was written on the 21st of that month
perhaps too late for the mail that week. 1t
contained sixty-six three cent postage
stamps for subscription to the "Peoples."
The envelope was well worn, threatening
to fall to pieces on the slightest handling,
but the stamps were in comparatively good
order. 1t had never been to the Dead Let
ter office, but seems to have been floating
round for the last four months, seeking its
destination, which it doubtless reached by
the merest accident. We took in the stamps
and will send the envelope in search Of DR..
Livingstone.

THE demand for pistols, writes New

THE demand for pistols, writes New
York correspondent, is decidedly on the in
crease. There is so much said about shoot
ing in the papers, that every man of spirit
feels incomplete without his revolver.
There are a score of shooting galleries in
or near Broadway, and these are generally
full of incipient marksmen. The invaria-
BILE sign displayed at these establishments
is gentleman with pistol, carved out of
a board, and neatly painted. fyou go into
one of these places of an evening you will
see a crowd of young men practicing with
their revolvers, and you can occasionally
find here as good shot as is to be met
among the trappers of the West. If you
advise any of this class to refrain from car
rying such weapons, the reply is generally
the same: ave do it in self-defense.''

St Patrick'sDay.

The Committees of the different Catholic
and Irish Societies met in convention on
Sunday evening, and resolved to celebrate
the anniversary of their illustrious patron
saint on Monday, the 18th of March, by a
procession through the principal streets of
the city, and attendance at grand High
Mass at the Cathedral. a committee Of ar
rangements for the procession was appoint
ed, and Mr.. NJ. McKeon was elected the
Grand Marshal. 1t is probable that our
Irish fellow-citizens in Edgefeld will take
steps TO participate in the celebration, and
large numbers will doubtless come from
other parts of this and adjoining counties.
Various entertainments will probably be
given on the night of the 18th.

A very sad case of hydrophobia occurred
in this city yesterday, the victim being
little girl Of only seven years of age. HeI
name is Mathilde Singer, the adopted
child of Mr.. Albert Pfei1er, living on EW-
inc avenue, between High and Vine
streets. Three weeks ago she was bitten
by a dog, but as he showed no signs OF
nydrophoSia, no fear of a serious conse-
n1ence was entertained by the family. Hes-
fsrdav. however, the child was seized will
bydrcphobia, and it is feared the attack
nav as is often the case, prove tatsI.
Three physicians wer' in attendance, but
as vet there are no desirable symptoms in
the patients condition.

The total amount paid into the State
treasury yesterday was 34,SS1.34, of
which S13, 1884 was in State warrants and
SILL in Tennessee money. The County
Court Clerk and Revenue Collector of Da-
wilson county each paid the sum of 5000
in warrants, and the Revenue Collector of
Montgomery county paid $1,000 in war
rants. Of the whole amount there was
nary dollar of currency. This is the kind
of money the State is receiving, and in the
name of fun how are we to pay our debt.

.There was a frog lived in a spring,

''Ihere was a frOg lived IN Spring,
He caught such cold that he could not sing"
Poor, unfortunate Batrachian! In what a
sad plight he must have been. And yet his
misfortune was one that often befalls sing
ers. Many a once tuneful voice among
those who belong to the ''genus HOMO" is
utterly spoiled by ''cold in the head" or on
the lungs, or both combined. For the above
mentioned ''crOaker" we are not aware
that any remedy was ever devised; but We
rejoice to know that all human singers may
keep their heads clear and their thrOats in
tune by timely use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, and DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, both Of which are sold by drug
gists. feb13 deOdIW&W1s

Museum of CuriOsIties.

Gen. Joel Battle, Superintendent of the
Penitentiary, has supplied the pool at that
institution with four wild geese. They are
beautiful birds, quite gentle and graceful.
They were obtained from Reel Foot Lake
on which they were raised. The General
has made arrangements to get some deer
from the mountains, which with coons
opossums and huge kangaroo, on its way
here from Australia, will constitute quite
a museum.

The Last Prisoner of the War.

ment, his claims upon the public should

Among the rare arrivals at the Chatta-
nooga depot yesterday was Texas mule
teer, dressed in Indian garb, with a moon
and circle on bis back. A large crowd sur
rounded him, and were amused by his
extraordinary whip cracking. Notwith-
standing his fair complexion, white ringlets
and fuzzy moustache, many thought him a
veritable Indian from the West.

Boys living in the newly graEeled dis
tricts of the city seem to have a genuine
boyish love for hurting the dOrnicks through

hit. This practice is dangerous to pedes-
trians and persons driving along the street.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 12.-The ice in the
river in front Of this city broke loose about
noon to-day, carrying between twenty and
thirty coal barges with it, and forming a
gorge in the bed of the river below the city,
piing the barges one upon another. There
were about fifty barges lying between Free
man street and Mil creek. It is quite
probable that larger portion Of these viii
be taken away by the ice. The steamer
Wannata was sunk at Fulton, and the
trestle-work Of the Newport Railroad bridge
was also torn away.

OBITUARY.

The following obituary of the son of
Mr. GEORGE ELLIOTT, of Goshen town
ship, we publish by request.
Rev. JOHN NELSON ELLIOTT, of the
Iowa Conference of the NJ. L. Church,
was born in Belmont county, Ohio, De-
cember Sth. 1S42, and died, at the resi-
dence of DR.. Wesley j. Greer, in Rich
woods jefferson county, iowa, Sept.
9th, 1872; aged 29years, months and
27 days. His youth was spent at his
fathers home, where the opening of the
Southern rebellion found hima a strip
ling of nineteen years. Fired by the
spirit of patriotism, which moved so
nany brave men to do or die for their
country's defence, he resolved early up
on entering the Union army. Meeting
with opposition from his friends on ae-
count of his youth, he left his fathers
house, and made his way across the
Ohio river into Virginia, where be en-
listed in the First Regiment of the Vir-
ginia Union Cavalry, in August, 1861.
= The record of his marches
and battles, embracing operations in
Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia,
would include large part of the histo-
ry of the Army of the Potomac. He
was in both the battles of Bull Run. ard
in all the grand movements of McClel-
Ian and Grant around Richmond. -
tits said that he could definitely name
seventy-fiye engagements in which he
took part, and the whole number of bat
ties and skirmishes in which he fought
exceeded one hundred. y But
John N. Elliott's memory is sacred not
only as patriot, but as Christian. In
his sixteenth year he acknowledged the
obligations that were upon him, and
professed faith in the Savior Of men,
But in the trials and temptations of the
camp these early VOWS were forgotten,
and he gave way to open sin. 1t was a
part of his record that he afterwards
looked upon with great humiliation and
regret. After bis discharge from the
army he spent short time IN the mer-l
camille husiuessia his native State. In
the Fall of 1865 ahe cametoe Iowa, and
spent thenext Winter iRIJefferson coun-
tvl with his brother Rev9B. f. Elliot -,
That Winter. at aimeetiug held by Rev.
John Orr, In Richweods Church, he re-
newed his early covenant, professed
jusiifying faith, aud united with the
M. iE. Church. The change in him was
decisive and complete. All his mighty
energies of soul were now laid q sac
rifice upon the altar OF the Cross. Soon
he heard an inward voice calling him
to higher work. To prepare for this,
and TO complete his educational train
ing, he spent some months in the Iowa
Wesleyan University. While there, on
the recommendation of the Richwoods
class, he was licensed to preach. His
first efforts were not prophetic Of much
ultimate success. More than once this
man, who had never quailed when the
balls were whizzing round him, was
entirely overcome by handful of peoE
pie in country schoolheuse, or Ia q
neighborhood Church. But, under q
sense Of duty, he persisted, and soon
getting advantage of his diffidence, bis
real talent began TO manifest itself. At
the session Of the Iowa Conference, held
at Burlington, Sept. 2, 1858, he was ad-
mitted or trial, and appointed as ju-
nicr preacher on Brighton circuit, with
