administration she spoke i'll the SINGER
est terms of respect,aEd seemed entirely
calm and patient in the reflection that
at the proper time the right would pre-
vail. Like her great husband, she ''re-
cognizes no necessity for the state OF
things" that existed when the late war
commenced, and now she recognizes no
necessity for any other state of things
than that of profound peace, amity and
concord between the North and the
South.
The very pleasant visit terminated
with kindly expressions of good will,
and emerging from the residence of
Mrs. Fitzhugh, the last golden rays of
declining day were falling over the ven
cradle Christ Church, nearly opposite
the church where Washington worship
ped, and where, from the early days of
the republic to the present time, ''Peace
on earth and good will to men" has
been taught.
Mrs. Lee leaves Alexandria to-day for
a sojourn of several weeks at the Hot
Springs, Bath county, Virginia.

ANOTHER BoRG1,-Last Sentember

ANOTHER BoRGIA.-Last September
Mr.. A. w. Drake, farmer, living near
Decauter, H., died under circumstances
Indicating foul play. His mother-in-
law, Mrs. York, was keeping house for
him at the time. a few days since Mrs.
York was taken i'll at the residence of
her son in Kansas, where she had gone
after the death of Mr. Drake \ ply
stefan was called in, who Immediately
discovered poison, and he told her she
could survive but few hours; fearing
death, she made most startling con
fession. She confessed to having poi
soned her daughter in 1865, Mrs. a.
Drake, her own daughter, two children
of Mr.. Drake, her grandchildren, the
wife of E. Il. Drake, and last September
Mr.. \. w. Drake. She went 10 her
son and in a short time made a mixture
of poison. to administer to him, on the
first opportunity Feeling unwell day
or two after, she went after some mcdi-
cine to the cupboard, and by mistake,
took the fatal dose prepared for her son,
which resulted in her own death. Thus
passed from life by herhands a husband.
two daughters, a son-inlaw, two grand
children, and herself, while she attempt
cd to poison her own son, who had OF
fered her q home for the remainder Of
her life.

From the Romney Intelligencer.
pHNNs, RAILROAD EXTENSION

Mr.. HARPER The most favorable
consideration III behalf Of any Internal
Improvement consists in The assurance
of continuous and adequate supply 81
freight al a remuieraii0e price. Now
the demand for our semi-bituminous
Coal will continue TO exceed the supply,
and requires new and increased facill-
ties of outlet. The Alexandria, Loudoun
and Hampshire Railroad scheme was
originated upon that suggestion. That
road is completed almost to Reyes Gap
in the Blue Ridge, and near the point
where it will intercept the Shenandoah
Valley extension of the Pennsylvania
Central Railroad which crosses the 20
tomac at Shepherdstown. From shep-
herdstown to the heart Of the semi-bit-
luminous Coal Field, by way Of Martins
burg, Bloomery Gap and Romney, Is
something short OF one hundred miles
distance-completing 4 Coal Road from
the field,to the port of Alexandria some
thing less than one hundred and seven
tv miles. That line will have present,
immediate sustention afforded it in Coal
freight alone, to its full capacity.
The Reading Pa.) Railroad is one of
the most profitable in this country, and
dependent for its business, principally,
at least,upon the anthracite Coal Trade
To those who take interest in such dis
cussions the argument for speedy con
struction of our proposed Road is sub
mitted. with the cordial desire that 1t
may elicit truth, obtain illustration, or,
if erroneous, be successfully combatted.

The Montgomery (Alabama) .Adyer-
tiser Of Saturday says: "Captain Vii
lere, Frenchman, who was an officer
in the Confederate army, in Wheat's
battalion, reached here from Atlanta
yesterday morning. At the end of the
war he was a prisoner, and after his re
lease a Federal soldier attempted to cut
the buttons of his coat This he resist
cd. The soldier spit in his face, and in
the difficulty that followed Villere killed
him. For this he was tried and sen
fenced to close confinement at Harris
burg, Pa, for five years. This term
was extended over three years by those
in authority. When he was finally re-
leased, about three weeks ago, he set
out on foot to reach his old home near
New Orleans, and got to Atlanta a few
DAYS ago. There some friends raised
funds to purchase him a ticket to Mont
comcrv. and we understand he went on
to Mobile last night. He is the last
Confederate, and hopes to reach his old
home in day or two. He IS nearly
seventy years Of age.

STRANGE MALADY.-There is family
named Coleman, on Cabin Creok,at the
mouth Of Ten Mile, who are afflicted IN
q most remarkable manner. Samuel
Coleman, head Of the family who is
from the east, is now over eighty
years of age. He has three sons at
home, and two Of these have been IN
bed fifteen and twenty years respective
" The affection or disease from which
they suffer is notvisiblc, but its affect
is to completely PROSTATE their physical
powers.
Richard, the oldest son is now forty
five years of age, and the last twenty OF
these he has spent on his back i'll bed.
The second son, Noah, is the other sub
iect of the terrible ailment. Both were
splendidly built young men, and their
remarkable physique Of former years
renders the mystery stillmore complete.
A young son who is now about TWEEN
ty-two, is living, and he, in conjunction
with his aged mother, is striving to
support his unfortunate family, his faith
or being helpless with age. An efiec-
ton of the spine is thought by physl-
clans to be the cause of the prostration,
but the case, nevertheless, has not been
satisfactorily accounted for. The second
son IL entirely helpless, and the only
manner in which his couch can be
smoothed,is to place another bed along
side and roll him from one to the other.
The elder son is somewhat less helpless
though he is also in terrible condition.

PHOTOGRAPHERS A kIsS.-ln the
neighborhood of Chiselhurst, the other
day, an enamored pair were walking
pleasantly along, quite unconscious OF
their surroundings, and more particular
" of the fact that an itinerant photo
erapher had taken up his position, sur
rounded by an interesting crowd. As
the swain and the maiden took their
way.what more natural than the former
should imprint chaste salute on the
pouting lips of his fair companion ?
What more annoying than that the
camera should have seized them IN the
act, and rendered it immortal The
hapless couple became aware OF the tact
from the loud outburst of laughter which
ran through the asscmblage as the plate
was held up, and the girl at first storm
ed and threatened; but subsiding into a
more reasonable mood, offered TO pur-
chase the negative. But the photo
prapher was memorable. He was will
ING to sell any number of copies, but
insisted upon retaining the original.

A MAMMOTH ORGAN-BosToN TO BE
EcL1psEp.-Mr. Thomas Wlnans Is
building an immense organ in connec-
ton with his private music hall, CON
spicuous for the tall chimney, which
towers above the building and trees oil
his splendid city residence in the west
ern section of the city. The organ,lt is
understood, will be, when completed,
the largest ever constructed anywhere,
and is being built without regard to
cost. AS there is more or less OF eXper-
iment in the structure, Mr.. Winans has
been reticent about his plans, and pur-
noses, but it is known that Pomplitz is
the builder, and one of the mammoth
wooden ''pipes" for the instrument be-
inc noticed on the street yesterday, at
tracted general attention. The pipe
was thirty two feet in length and about
two feet square. 1t was painted yellow
and looked like huge smoke stack 1t
is understood that the organ will have
over twenty-five bass pipes of this size
and description, besides a forrest OF
smaller pipes, requiring altogether, it it
would seem, the wind OF hurricane al
most to make EN- blow. 1t is also sta
ted that it will be 4 year yet before the
ORGAN is finished, and that it will be run
with steam, and is intended to eclipse
the organs of the world, including even
the pride of Boston. 1t will be IN tact Ct
a sort of concentrated Jubilee in itself,
when it is once set agolng.-Sum.

1O" COUNTY NEws.-We clip the
following items from the Charlestown
papers of this week.
FOREIGN SHIpMENTs.-Our energetic
countyman, Lewis G. Kemp, Esq, we
are pleased to note, has been shipping
large quantities of barrel slaves and
headings to Washington, Georgetown
and Baltimore. The force of hands
employed at the saw mill of Mr.. Kemp
are now turning out about sixty thous-
and slaves and headings per week, and
the probability is that after harvest his
business in this line will be increased
Spirit
patrons OF HUsEANDRY.-Three
Oranges of the Order of Patrons of
Husbandry were organized in this sec
ton on Saturday last, by Z. j. Ohr,
Esq, Deputy Of the Order for organic
inc this State-two at Berryville and
one at Summit Point. We expect to
notice these organizations more at length
in our next issue.-SpirH.
LARGE BLACK SNAKE.-Mr. Lewis c.
Lucas Informs us that Mr.. John FIRTH,
a few days since, killed black snake,
near Leetown, in this county, which
measured eight feet in length. His
snakeship was coiled in a limb of tree
at the time of the occurrence, and was
shot by Mr.. Firth while in that position.
Spirit.
S. S. ASN1vERsARY AT HARrERs FER
KY.-A correspondent kindly informs
us, Git not being in our power to attend)
that the celebration of the anniversary
of the NJ. p. Church Sunday School,
Camp Hill, Harper's Ferry, on Wednes-
day evening, was a most delightful oc-
casion. Too much credit cannot be
given to Mr.. Yantis, the Superintendent
of this school. Indeed the most notice
able feature of the entertainment was
the decorum of the school, and the or
der and regularity with which the in
teresting programme of the evening
was carried out. The music and sing
inc, under the leadership of Professor
Richardson and Mrs. John Erwin, was
admirable, and was much enjoyed by
the very crowded audience. A speech
prepared for the occasion and delivered
by Master McFaden, beautiful little
fellow and mere child, would have
elected rounds of applause in any place
but place of worship. The GROWING
piece of the evening was ''The Christian
Armor." Any description of this piece
would be necessarily lengthy and still
imperfect. We commend it to the con
sideratioE of Sunday School Superln,,
tendents. 1t requires regular suit OF
armor-considerable expense, and great
training, but nevertheless, will repay all
expense and trouble. Master Willy Er-
win maintained the character of Herd,
in a way that reflects infinite credit on
himself, and not less on those who have
brought him up so admirably. lie is a
very gentlemanly and promising little
fellow. Mr. Davies speech, on the sub,
iect of ''The Sermon on the Mount, and
the Lords Prayer" was exceedingly IN
teresting, and was listened to with great
attention, and deserves a more extended
notice than can be given in the present
notice OF the evening entertainment
