A Pennsylvania Hermit.

IN the wilderness, eight miles north
west of Dingman's Ferry, Pike County,
Pa, underneath a huge rock, in small
cave six by eight feet, has lived for up
ward of thirty years human being by
born in Wales and emigrated to this
country about the year 1840 When he
landed in New York he had small sum
of money, with which he came afoot to
Pike County and purchased single acre
of wild, uncultivated, scrub-oak land,
situated in Lehman Township, amid a
from any habitatiOn.
At the western end of this small strip
of land is a small cave, only about six
alterations or improvements, this hermit
has for more than thirty years made his
home.
The hermit is nearly seventy years of
age. His face has not been shaven for
forty years. The sides of his face and
chin and neck are covered with coarse
gray hair, while his beard is several feet in
length and white as snow. He wears the
same suit of clothes he wore twenty years
ago, which are so badly rent as to render
it necessary to fasten them together by
means of twisted hickory withes. He
never works, and unless obliged to go
to the nearest store for ammunition new
er leaves sight of his cave.
His mode of living is peculiar. His
diet consists principally of berries ana
fruit during their season, while In tne
winter he subsists on various xmas OF
wild game. His education was not neg
lected during his boyhood, for he is well
read and remarkably intelligent. He is
a firm believer in religion, and deVotes
most of his time reading the Bible and
other sacred works. He is deaf, and has
been SO for several years, rendering it
necessary to communicate with him by
means of writing. He has the faculty OF
charming birds, many of which he Sc
cured in this way and reared. He has
never used lamp or candle in his cave:
His bed is composed of straw scattered
upon a solid rock: Sheldon enjoys his
peculiar mode of living, and says he ex-
pects to make this cave his final resting
Dlace.

The Presidents, Thanksgiving Procla-
nation.
WAsHfSGToN, Oct. 90.
has issued the follow,

WAsHfSGToN, Oct. ~.
THE President has issued the follow
ing proclamation:
By the President of the United States:
We are reminded by the changing season that
it is time to pause in our daily yocations and
offer thanks to Almighty God for the mercies
and abundance of the year which is drawing
to close. The blessings of free government
continue to be vouchsafed. The earth has
responded to the labor of the husbandman.
The land has been free from pestilence, in
ternal order is maintained and peace with
other powers has prevailed. 1t is fitting that
at stated periods we should cease from our
accustomed pursuits and from the turmoil of
our daily lives and unite in thankfulness for
the blessings of the past and the cultivation
of kindly feelings toward each other.
Now, therefore, recognizing these consid-
erations. I, u. S. Grant, President of the
United States. do recommend to all citizens
TO assemble in their respective places of
worship, Thursday, the 26th day of November
next, and express their thanks for the mercy
and favor of Almighty God, and, laying aside
all political contentious and all secular oc-
equations, to observe such day as day of
THANKSGIVING and praise.
In witness whereof have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington on the goth
day of October, 1874, and of the independence
of the United States the ninety-eighth year.
(Signed) IS. GRANT.

Garments Made WATERPROOF.

A writer in an English paper says:
By the way, speaking of water-proofs,
I think can give travellers a valuable
hint or two. For many years have
worn india-rubber water-proofs, but will
buy no more, for / have learned that
good Scottish tweed can be made entire
ly impervious to rain, and, moreover. l
have learned how to make it so; and, Tor
the benefit of your readers, l Will give
the recipe:
ain bucket of soft water put half a
pound of sugar of lead and half pound
of powdered alum; stir this at inter-
walls until it becomes clear; pour it off
into another bucket and put the garment
therein, and let it be in for twenty-four
hours and then hang it up to dry with
out wringing it.
1.-TWO of my party-a lady and gentle-
man-have worn garments thus made in
the widest storms of wind and RAIN
without getting wet. The rain hangs
upon the cloth in globules. In snort,
they were really waterproof. The gen.
tleman, fortnight ago, walked nine
miles in a storm of rain and wind such
as you rarely see in the south, and when
he Slipped off his overcoat his underwear
was as dry as when he put them on
This is, think, a secret worth knowing;
for cloth, if it can be made to keep out
wet, is in every way better than what we
know as most water proofs"

The Earthquake in Antigua.

THE following is copy of a letter re-
ceived by a lady of this city from her
husband at Antigua, Guatemala, telling
some particulars of the earthquake OF
the Sd of September last in that city:
"* \ Until now | have been un-
able to compose myself for the task of
letter-writing. OF the catastrophe OF the

reaches you, and you will doubtless have
experienced much anxiety for my safety.

FALLEN LEAVES.

THE dying summer had spilled it's blood,
Oh, the beautiful weather! 3t
On all the oak-leaves in the wood
AS we went out together.
The partridge sprang from the yellowing corn,
Oh, the beautiful weather!
And sang the song of a bridal morn
.AsWe went out together.
The wind came gathering up his bands,
Oh, the changeful weather.
And a shadow settled on all the lands s.
AS we went out together.
The red leaves tumbled among the rocks,
The cruel, cruel weather!
Like birds shot bleeding out OF focks,
AS we went out together.
Imade your bed beneath the pines,
Where we had walked together
/ hid you under the sheltering vines
From the cruel, cruel weather.
But cold rain sobbing on all the leaves,
And the dry grass on the heather
The silent heart that aches and grieves,
Know it is wintry weather.

otherwise, their verdict should be for
the plaintiff. The paying-tellers of sew
eral banks having testified that there was
nothing in the appearance of the check,
as raised, to excite suspicion, the jury
rendered verdict for the bank.
