TIE OLD LADY's WHEELBARRoW RIDE
Before the last flood in the Susquehanua river
reached its height, but at the time when all
knew it e be inevitable, German lady, the
wife Of an estiuable, citizens of Port Deposit,
Maryland, conceived a strkingly novel plan tor
saving one Of the buildings on her husband s
premises. hardly think she could have been
through freshet before or she would have
had more definite idea of the food irresls,i-
bIe power. Armed with clothes line, and
touching faith in her ability to save the property
she went down into the yard, tied the liue
around the outbuilding, and made good strong
knot that wouldn't slip. Then she trailcd the
line up the yard as far as it would reach and
there tied it to wheelbarrow. Then she sat
down in the wheelbarrow doubtless congratu-
lang herself that she had things well fixed
She might as we'll try to swim up the Niagara
Falls as try to hold that building but she dldo t
know it then In few minutes the ice began
toying with the building not at first moving It,
aud seeming to think it was hardly big enough
game Then the food changed its mind, pick
cd up the building and started down the river
with it, dragging the wheelbarrow and the
struggling woman in it down the yard. She
would perhaps have been carried Oft If u sudden
movement of The ice had not jerked the wheel
barrow from under her, leaving her tor a mo-
ncnt monument of amazement. Then she
turned and fled up the yard. not minute too

\ GAZETTE & VIRGINIA ADVERTISER,
A Lost Will.

Two or three months ago j. Rowell, the fur
,;,nr. dealer on Michigan avenue, set about
"Iyrriauling desk filed with old papers-pa-
,.,r> which had been accumulating on his hands
sr several years, until be could scarcely say
where or how he got the most Of them. At
Ter throwing away bushel or more of the doc
umepts, he came upon paper sealed and tied
with red tape. He could not remember hav-
;pr seen it before. and was amazed when he
Lr0ke the seals and read: Last will and
rt,aucn. of Israel Whitworth Getting
;urther down he found that the paper was nine
Years old, and that the will gave to Margaret
Davis, my sister, or her children, the Gordon
farm. situated TWO and one-half miles from St.
Joseph, Mo-, together with all live stock and
farming utensils further, the sum OF $4,000
in bank in ST. Joseph, (unless | shall have
withdrawn it;) my gold watch, my household
furniture, and one-half of what my house may
hing at private sale. -
So read the will as far as her sister and her
kin wele concerned, and then Whltworth made
broucs,s to several other relatives. The will
was dated Detroit, August 10, 1868. 1t occur
red to Mr.. Rowell that the will might be otsome
account 10 some one, aud he wrote 70 MRS.
Davis, directing the letter to st. Joseph
Mo. In about two weeks he received a reply
from her, dated at w estou. Sdule Cldee, ulo ISl-
ter having been forwarded to that place. She
stated that her brother had been dead nearly
eight years aud that she had never known OF
will. The property had been divided among
four near relatives of the deceased, or should
have been, but three of them had cheated her
out Of most of what fell to her in dividing up.
She further stated that her brother had cou-
sio in Detroit years ago, and that be was 10 this
city op visit, about the date Of the will. The
cousin 5 name was signed as one of the wit
nesses, and Mr. johnson, now In Cincinnati,
was the other witness. RoWell sent on the will,
aud Friday last he received a grateful letter
from the woman, who said that the will had
been admitted to probate there, the witnesses
called on, and that she had been put in posses
sion Of nearly $4,000 through his finding the
will. She cautioned him to look out for an ex-
press package, aud will probably seud some
thing handsome. The puzzliug thing OF the
whole is that Rowcll can't tell when or where
he got the WILL nor imagine how the deceased
came to leave it where it would fall into the
hands of stranger Mr. Whitworth might
have lost it, or left it where he could not find
it, and hually concluded that it was destroyed,
and for reasons satisfactory to himself did not
make another will The case is curious one
but Rowell has the letters to prove that it is
true oue.-Dthfot Free Press
