WHITE PLAINS PATRIARCH,
Dew he Came TO New York on his Only visit,
and IL NV he Il en- h ed Home.

One of the habitu6s OF the Pocahontas
Hotel In white Plains Is Jonathan snlfnn. He
is eighty-six YEAR, old. lie was born and raised
IN westchester county, and never went out OF II
but once. His business is breaking colts and
tanning unruly horses. lie has mortal terror
of railroads and cars, and although he has had
nearly every bone In his body broken by horses
and wild colts. he cannot be invegled into a
railroad car. Nine years ago, when Conductor
Carpenter ran the Paulng train on the Harlem
Railroad. he induced tho old man one morning
60 Just look inside of car for the first time.
when fairly inside the conductor gave the engi-
ncer the signal, and the train moved oG fore
Mr.. sninin could get IN. lie was brought to
New YORK In terror. lie had never been here
before, but he had heard oi the eharpers who
rob strangers Of their money and clothing, aud
he never lost sight OF Conductor Carpenter all
day. An hour or so before the time Of starting
for home MIR. Snfln said to sir. Carpenter, II
you'll see me out Of the village I'll ~ home"
"How will you go before the train stattsi'
interrogated the conductor
"Ohl I'll walk. I'm not going back on them
'ero kcers." said the old man.
"You can't walk" said Mr.. Carpenter, 80 you
must wait"
"Now. see here. Ziba," continued the old
man, "my foot Is sot not to ~ back on them
keers. SO now see me out Of town afore you
60
Mr. Carpenter saw lre I'm the old mans ewes.
and he niTed \ carriage for :Ah and stared him
for White Plains. Just above iutdh IN the
horses ran away. smashed the carriage. Il nlttened
the old mans NOSE, and he walked the rest of
the way. arriving home at \. NJ. the neNt daV.
MIR Sui1hn tells every new acquaintance of his
frst and last trip to New ON, and always COM
Cludcs toy saying:
=" tell YOU them wus good old times, afore
these ere kcCrs cuu,I here. when the stages

wasn't So many pcoilc hurt
Another regularity ~ the old man Is his fear
Of firearms. lie never fred q ilrC, rarkcr on the
Fourth II July, murh les a gun ar a pistol.
He never even hai one IN his hands. and he

The killing of wash Hopkins.

Owing to the lateness of the hour at
which the facts in relation to the killing of
the negro Wash Hopkins, at the Overton
farm on Monday, became, known, our re-
port of the flair in yesterdays paper was
very meager.
1t seems that Hopkins was driving q
wagon out in the hay field, and Mr.. A. j.
McKimmin, who has charge of the farm,
and who was experimenting the work in
the hay field, ordered him to drive his wag-
on to a certain place, which order was d s.
regarded. McKimmin then spoke to Hop
kins in a sharp tone, which was responded
to by the negro in a rather Insulting
manner, the latter picking up a
hay fork, at the same tiHe.
McKimmin at once procured a shot
gun, hoping to intimidate Hopkins, and or
dered him to put down the fork, but in this
he was no. obeyed. he was then advised
to put the gun up. by some one standing
near, and had turned to 60 into the house

NOTES FROM OLD WILSON.

To the Union and American:
LEBANON, TENN, Aug. 4, 1871 feel
so much revived up to-day, that concluded
to write you Inns. Our town has been
very much depressed for the last two
months; it looked as though the spirit o.,
desolstion lowered over It. The cholera
created terrible panic here. Our peo
ple were more distressed and frightened
than In 1s49, when the cholera was so bad.
But happily for Us change has come over
the Spirit of the dream. Lebanon is itself
again. The scCufge has departed, and our
people were never healthier than row.
Those who wish to visit our town, either on
pleasure or business, should not hesitate to
come, for the danger has passed. The
Quarterly Court was in session to-day,
having adjourned over from the July term,
and our town was alive with the citizens OF
the county. There were at least thou
sand men in town, and all seemed to be in
good cheer. Our farmers have been down
in the mouth, but the last refreshing show
ers have had as exhilarating an influence
upon them as upon the growing crops.
The corn and grass crops in old Wilson are
fine. The wheat crop was Indifferent, not
Welding more than four or five bushels per
acre, but upon the whole our farmers have
nothing 10 complain Of, and are satisfied
with the product of their labors. The
fsmers had meeting Today, and lawyer
did the speaking.
There will be an old-fasbioned Democrat
ic paper started here, between this and the
first Of the coming year. 1t will be edited
BY bold and fearless hand that will deal
sharply with Congressional steals and rail-
road sYindles. OVER FIFTY.
