r9- REMARKABLE LoNGEvIrf.--One
of the most remarkable families, says the
Spirit, in point of longevity, that we
know of, is the Wysong family of this
county. -Four brothers, all raised in
Shepherdstown, are now living, and are
aged respectively as follows: Joseph,
living in Ohio, 81 years; Isaac, residing
in Frederick, City, Md, So years; Lew
is, aged 76, and John, aged 10, still
living near Shepherdstown. We appre-
herd there are but few families that
can be produced where there are four
brothers living who have attained the
age of these old sires, and although
two of them are now residents of adj
joining States, we are disposed to at
tribute their remarkable longevity, in q
large measure, to the great healthfnlness
of our grand old Valley.

TATTI.ERS.

Every community is cursed by the
presence of class of people who make
it their business to attend to every
body's affairs but their own. Such peo-
pie are the poorest specimens of human
ity which exists upon this blighted
earth 1t is we'll known that almost
every person is sometimes disposed to
speak evil Of others, and tattling is q
sin from which very few can claim 10
be entirely exempt But the object OF
the present article is to speak Of that
distinct class OF tattlers who make tale
bearing the constant business OF their
lives. They pry into the private affairs
of every family in the neighborhood;
they know the exact state OF one neigh
boris feelings toward another; they un-
derstand evcrybody's faults, and no lit
tie blunder or misdemeanor ever escapes
their watchtuluess They are we'll pos
ted upon everything connected with
courtship and matrimony, and know
who are going to marry, whom, and can
guess the exact time by every movement
of parties suspected of matrimonial in
tentions, and if there is the slightest
chance to create disturbance, excite
jealousy, or 'break up a match, they
take advantage of it and do all in their
power to keep people in constant state
of vexation. They glide quietly from
gentleman to lady, from mother to
daughter, from father to son, and in the
ears of all they pour their bitter whis-
pers of SANDER and abuse, and at the
same time pretend to be the most SIN
cere friends of those they talk to. Their
nauseous pills OF Islander are sugar coat
ed with smiles and words OF friendship.

Is j. WILKES BOOTH STILL ALlvEf-
The story is revived that J. Wilkes
Booth the slayer of President Lincoln
still lives. 1t is now said that he was
seen and conversed on Pelew island.
How he made his escape from the Uni.
ted States he did not reveal except he
did not leave until thirty days after the
assassination. During his wanderings
he had been in Mexico, South America,
Africa, Turkey, Arabia, Rome and met
John II. Surratt. The latter, we be.
lieve, has always maintained that Booth
is still living The fact that Secretary
Stanton would permit no one to see the
BODY of the dead men killed in Mary
land and said to be Booth, gives plausi-
bility to the story that the real assassin
of President Lincoln made his escape
successfully. The late Garrett Davis,
of kentucky, avowed his conviction on
the floor of the L. s. Senate that Booth
was not killed but was in aplace OF safe

MURDER AT CUMBERLAND.-LastM MOI
day afternoon, Lloyd L. Clary, one OF
the editors of the Cumberland DAILY
Times, was shot and killed by John ID;
Resley, son of Horace Resley, Clerk OF
the Circuit Court of that county. Ii
seems that Resley felt aggrieved at an
article which appeared in the lines
and which he construed as reflection
upon his father, growing out OF the
manner in which the witnesses IN the
Lear case were paid off. Young Resly
went to the Times office, and meeting
Mr.. Clary on the steps, asked HIM
whether he had writted the article allu-
luded to. AS he propounded the ques-
ton, he drew revolver, when Clary
exclaimed, "John, give me a chance.
Resley said, NO" and Immediately
fired two sbots-the one passing through
Clary's neck and the other entering his
chest, just below the heart, intilr'Ing 4
fatal wound.
Clary was removed to the City Hotel,
where the necessary medical attendance
was given him, but he died in the
course of four or FIVE hours. Resley
was committed to Jail. Both are IN
married.

SECRET MEETING OF TIE CANAL
BoARD.-At a secret meeting Of the Ga
nal Board held in Baltimore on the
night of the 18th inst, it was resolved by
that body to request Mr.. Shay, Wash
ington county division superintendent,
to resign his place, in order to please
certain politicians who attributed much
of the disatfection among the Democrats
along the Canal to the fact Of his con
tinuance in office. Mr.. Fawcett, the
Treasurer, was accordingly sent to Mr..
Shay, armed with the letters sent down
against him, and the latter promptly
rendered his resignation, although many
believe that the arrangement IS TO
stand only until after the election. The
specific charge against Mr.. Shay is that
he gave some of the best places at his
disposal to Radicals a Mr.. j. ii. Cat
trell, who was in charge of Il scow, be
ing cited as an example. Without say
ing anything as to the smallness of the
action of the Board in STOPPING to pay
attention to such petty political matters
as this, we desire to show that, II his
removal was real, Mr.. Shay was made
to suffer Tor Mr.. Germans act as the
President himself employed Gattrell.
The circumstances, for which we have
good authority, are as follows : Cor
man asked Shay who he could get TO
take charge Of the scow. Shay sugges-
ted Mr. Mccoy, when German said,
wouldn't Gattrell be a good man about
the breaks I? to which Mr.. Shay replied
that he was very good man. German
then sent for Gattrell and told him to
get set of hands, which he agree to do
aud did. He told Mr.. German he was
a Republican, but the President said
That's all right Yet i'll less than two
weeks, German sent up Gattrells dis
missal, and now Shay has to go also,
for what German did himself Cum
