THE FLAG OF 1S12.-The veritable flag which
was waved over Fort McHenry in 1914, when
it was bombarded by the British forces, and
which suggested to Francis Scott Key the COM
posing of one of our national songs, 'The Star
Spangled Banner" has been sent to the navy
yard at Charleston for repairs. The flag was
originally thirty-six feet long and twenty four
wide, but from usage it has lost some four feet
of its length. 1t has fifteen stripes, and, when
new, fifteen stars, but one of the latter was
shot away at Fort McHenry. 1t was not until
1878 that the law restricting the number of
stripes upon our flags to thirteen was passed.
The old flag is in a most dilapidated condition.
Scarcely a square foot of it remains intact, yet
its numerous rents and dingy appearance are
in keeping with its honorable history. Written
upon one of the white stripes is the name of
Col. George Armstead, who was in command of
our forces at the bombardment of Fort McHen-
ry.-4Sprinqtfeid (Mass.) Republican.

HoLLAHAN.-The unfortunate Hollahan, who
is sentenced by his Excellency, Governor Whyte
to be executed on the LIST day of August for the
murder of Mrs. Lampley on the I'd last Janua-
ry, has been again interviewed and gives some
additional facts concerning his early life. He
states that che is the son of respectable parents
residing in virtuous, moral community f; l, in
boy-hood, was not as careful in the choice of my
company as should have been, but was not
worse than most boys Of my age, and was never
charged with crime.n If we credit this state
ment-and we know no reason why we should
Motive have a fearful illustration of the danger
of evil companions. There are thousands of
criminals who have just Hollahan's experience.
Perhaps none of them ever entertained suspicion
that they would be criminals. Yet by an inju-
dicious selection of company and lack of moral
power to say ''no'' and refuse to become part
ners in crime they have brought the full penalty
of violated laws upon their heads, disgraced
their families and bring heartrending anguish
upon fond parents.

rs 1t appears that Governor Dix's vetoing
the local option bill passed by the New York
legislature and the failure to put bill through
that should be strictly prohibitory has created
a determined Temperance party in that State.
The ultra Temperance men met in strong force
at Albany on oath Instant, and passed resolu-
tons calling for the abolition of license laws,
prohibiting absolutely the liquor traffic and ask
ing that these be secured by constitutional
amendment. They then declared it to be the
duty of those favoring prohibition to vote for
none but those who would enact prohibitory
laws

IMPUDENCE REBUKED, OR How CONDUCTOR VENT
PUNISHED DOLLY VARDEN.-The Elmira Gazette
says that one Of the best things it has had the
honor of recording in a long time, occurred on
the Northern Central Railroad train, the other
day, of which the noble-bearted and gentlemanly
w. F. Wentz was conductor. Scarcely a day
passes in which some hybrid, it would be an in
suit to the sex to call them men, is not seen on
the trains of the several roads, whose self concet
is only equalled by their bare-faced impudence,
and whose presence in any respectable society Is
simply intoerabe Considering themselves per.
fectly irresistible to the fair sex, they assume
air that renders them disgusting TO every one who
lays any claim to intelligence or responsibility. -
One of these pusiauimous individuals, unfortu-
nately for him, but fortunately for another, took
passage on conductor VENTS train, and the way
be was shown up entities Mr.. Wentz to universal
praise and gratitude. Among other passengers
was lady of the highest responsibility, on whom
the libidinous eyes of this vulture feasted. He
would not approach lady in a manly manner
and seek her acquaintance, or ascertain lift would
be agreeable, for this class are utterly devoid of
manlness, but instead he wrote note and walk
ing through the car dropped it into her lap. The
lady nsulted, without opening the note, brushed
it from her lap to the floor. A gentleman OBJ
serving the movement, picked up the paper and
handed it to conductor Wentz. When be had
read the note which containad insulting prcrosi-
-IUns, he f5ST the pleasant smile and cheerful de-
meanor which always characterizes his intercourse
with people at home or on duty and, to draw it
mildly, was about as mad as his capacity for an
ger would permit. He quickly made his way to
where this irresistible exquisite sat, and taking
him not very gently by the ear, led him through
the whole train in view of all the passengers -
nor was he particular in keeping to himself the
reason for this showing up. The victim was led
to the smoking-car and not permitted to again
intrude himself into car where there were any
ladies. The manifestations of approval from the
passengers which greeted Mr. Wentz at every
step was most uproarious. Whenever this gush-
ing youth attempts another conquest, it will not
be on conductor Wentz's train. Let others take
warning.

SUCCESSFUL 0PERATIoN.-Mr. Lewis Snerr, of
Shrewsbury township, one of the most success
full bee operators in the country, and who rears
and sells the Italian bee, performed one of the
most extraordinary acts in hiving bee on
Thursday last, on the farm of Mr.. Lewis Bort
ner, near Chas. Mitzel's MILL in Codorus town
ship, that we ever heard of. About one year
ago swarm of bees entered a chestnut tree 81
feet thick, about 30 feet from the ground. Mr..
Snerr being made acquainted with the fact un-
dertook to place the bees in patent Buckeye
Hive. He proceeded to the spot early on the
morning above stated, assembled the tree, open
ed it opposite the entrance, extracted therefrom
all the comb, and placed it properly in the pat.
ent hive. He then procured an old-fashioned
hive and into it transferred all the bees, closed
them up, descended the tree and procured the
use of a dark room in dwelling ear by, and
there successfully transferred the bees to the
patent hive, in which they are now at work. AT
ter such an act as this we would say he is mas
ter of his business York Gazette.

nas-The iail of Windham nonntv. Comm.

M9~The Jail of Windham county, Conn, has
farm of ten acres, which is cultivated by the
prisoners. When their labor is not needed on
the land it is hired by outsiders. Sometimes
one may see thirteen or fourteen prisoners
armed with axes at work in the depths of the
woods, with only one unarmed keeper in charge
of them, or shoveling in some distant ditch un-
der the same direction. All this has been done
for the last twenty-six years, and in that time
but three or four prisoners have escaped
Punishments are very rare, and the labor of
these men annually produces a very comfortable
sum for the county. The keeper treats them
with great kindness. Their surroundings are
neat and convenient. Every influence about
them is reformatory and helpful. We see no
evidence that this humane, and elevating treat
the kindly tale to the author of "Never Too
Late to Mend"

MOSb7I on Grant.

Col. John S. Mosby has been interviewed by a
reporter of the Richmond Dispatch. From this
interview it appears that Col. Mosby is very de-
cided Grant man-much more this than a Repub-
lican. He is of the opinion that it is the duty of
all Southern people who desire the welfare and
prosperity of the South to give cordial support
to President Grant administration. Col. Mosby
has asked for and obtained from the Presid,rt
---IOer Of appointments for Confederates
and Conservatives in Virginia. He has asked
for the appointment of no Republican. He has
recommended men who voted for Greeley and
who are now favorable to the Administrations
He claims that by advising the people of Virginia
to cease their senseless war upon the administra-
ton and by securing Federal patronage for his
friends he made more friends for President Grant
than all the Radicals in Virginia. He states that
nearly every man be meets applies to him for his
influence with the President to get him an office.
They do not all claim to have supported his ad-
ministration but they declare that they are sorry
they did not do it.
He is consulted extensively by the politicians
OI Tue Olale III reference 10 Inc Select0n OF ticket
for State offices this fall His State ticket is Gen.
Henry A. Wise, for Governor Major VIM. T.
Sutherton, for Lieutenant Governor, and Gen. S.
Ferguson Beach, for Attorney General. He de-
sires that the Republicans shall make no nomina-
tons and shall unite in the support of an indie
pendent ticket of this character. In reply to the
question ''Do you really think that Gen. Grant
has shown any disposition to concliate the people
of Virginia p he stated, 'Gen. Grant has been
very liberal in appointing my friends to Office,
because it is his earnest desire in this manner
to conciliate the people of the South, and he has
been more liberal to me because have declined
to take any for myself"
He thinks the Conservative party en- masse
ought to go over to Grant. He has had no con-
versation with the President with reference to an
election for third term, but he is perfectly free
to say that ''if he makes as good President as
believe he will and is candidate for reelection,
| have no doubt shall support him."
