Seldom is it that a genuine centenarial
is found, and but few are the times
when one is found, that his or her state
ments are believed. Therefore, whel
we saw that in Pottsville, to-day, a col
ored woman celebrates her 10th birth
day, we do not anticipate that there vii
not be those among the readers of Hh'
Journal who will scout the idea, and dc
clare that it is fabrication; neverthe
less, it is true. On Minersville street
nearly opposite the new school-house
lives to- day, feeble and blind with grea
age, the Oldest living person in Scnuyi
kill county. We refer to Mrs. Jane An.
BUTLER, or, as she is known more fami'
iarly, "Aunt Jane" Probably she i
unknown to many of Pottsville's presen
inhabitants, and has escaped the recoi
lection of others who were intimate wit
her years ago, by reason of her retire,
life. More than ten years ago she With
drew from public sight, during much o
that time being confined to her bed
She was compelled to lie i'll bed contin
ually for the last two years up to With;
few weeks past. She now sits up, ant
is as light hearted as ever, telling to he
few visitors the stories of her childhoo,
over and over. She is never tired i.
telling the trials she has passed through
the triumphs she has earned, the victo
ries won and their results.
But the particular day in which Aun
Jane takes pleasure is to-day, her birth
day. She requested her daughter yes
terday to write while she dictated, an,
the following is the result:
AUGUST 8, 1875. Friends and citizens,
have lived to see the years of lis up to the At
day of August.
II hope the friends and citizens won't forge
me on my birthday"
We, too, hope that she may not b
forgotten, That the citizens will tax
an active part not only in assisting he
to celebrate her natal day, but in malzini
her remaining days on earth as pleasan
as possible. -PottsVille Miners JON

How and When Silver will be SUBSTITUTE,
ed for Currency.


A Washington dispatch says The
actual amount of per cent. bonds sold
on account of the Specie Resumption act
is $10,5O0,OOO. The silver bullion fund
foots up $15,000,000, with which the
bars and coined silver on hand last Janu-
airy amounts to nearly $20,000,000. In
beginning the redemption of fractional
currency it is understood to be the in
tention of Secretary Bristow to call in all
the denominations under so cents, which
includes 3, 5, Is and 25-cent notes issued
since 1862, and which it is estimated will
require 800, 000,0 of 5, 10, and 25-cent,
subsidiary coin to provide for the tenn
porary boarding and the actual demands
of business. The 50-cent notes will then
be called in. The actual amount of frac-
tional currency to be replaced is III round
numbers but $50, 900, 900, more than one
fourth of the amount now reported In
circulation having been destroyed, the.
evidence of this being that of the first
three series, long since called in, and
aggregating over 100000, not
800, 100000 was received during
the last fiscal year. Already the
Mint has shipped to the Sub
Treasures and designated repositories
large sums of the new coins, and through
them the issue will be made and the
currency received. The Treasurer says
that million of dollars of the hard mon
ey can be issued In New York in short
time, at cost not exceeding 500.

A Joke ON "Andy.v

The Louisville Courier Journal re
lates the following:
Andrew Johnson and Meredith T
Gentry, in 1866, were the opposing car
didates for Governor of Tennessee. Th
leading organ of the Democratic part Q
the State, the Nashville Union, at tina
time, was edited by E. G. Eastman, VIII
possessed the happy faculty Of stirrin.
up the bile of political opponents. W
make this statement in order that wha
follows may be thoroughly understood
The contest between these parties was
fierce one; but johnson triumphed
Gentry bowed gracefully to the will c
the people and retired to his farm i
Bedford county. His enthusiast
friends, Col. Matt Martin ard the Rev
William G. Brownlow, soon paid him
visit. The latter is not wholly unknow.
to fame. They tarried several days
and when they were about to depart
Gentry, taking down a Bible and
hymn-book, said: 81 never permit
distinguished divine TO visit my hous
and leave without saying prayers for til
family and the neighborhood. Brow
low, you must pray" The invitatio
was accepted, and, after chapter in th
Bible was read and hymn sung, the
all got down upon their knees. Anon
the petitions that Brownlow offered u
was this one: "May the Lord send
beam of grace upon the heart Of Andre
Johnson and his man Eastman" Ger
try at once sprang to his feet and e1
claimed in loud voice, "Stop, Browr

moved the sides of his trowsers outward
about foot on each side, turned his
feet in, moved big chunk" of pitch to
the port side of his mouth, and replied
in very scornful manner, &c You hadn't

BREADSTUFFS.
The past week has Witnessed decided weak
ness in the grain markets, and rapid and quite
severe decline in values. The markets have
really been weather markets, and the weak
ness and the subsequent decline were due manly
to the more settled and finer weather. The re-
ports received from different sections of the
country indicated more favorable harvests than
had been expected, and the country speculative
element were on the selling side while
but few buying orders were received.
The Eastern markets were OF a less favorable
tenor, and shippers were not disposed to trade
with any freedom while the stocks in store
All large and rather heavier than usual at this
season of the year. The receipts were raeder-
ately large Values have steadily declined
from the opening until the close. AS will be
seen by the annexed table the most severe de-
cline has been on cash OATS which closed about
TIC per blu lower. Wheat and corn were con-
siderably lower.
The following table shows the prices current
at the opening and close of the past week:

CROP PROSPECTS.
The Reports of Damage by the Floods
Greatly Exaggerated.
from the Chicago Times, 14th.1

The reports OF Damage Dy Cne r1OOuS
Greatly Exaggerated.
From the Chicago Times, 14th.1
We print this morning dispatches from
all parts of the district covered by the
recent heavy rains and disastrous floods
in the States of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
and Kentucky. Especial attention is
given to the Wabash and Ohio valleys,
where the damage done was supposed to
be the greatest. 1t will be observed that
in but few localities is the injury done
to the harvested and growing crops as
great as was at first reported. The sub
sidence Of the rivers and the week OF
fine weather that has ensued, have re-
vived the growing grain and dried the
shocks already harvested in such man
ner as to leave it in very fair condition.
In Southwestern Ohio there will prob
ably be two-thirds Of an average yield; IN
Southern Indiana there will be nearly
three-fourths of the usual crop OF grain;
along the Wabash there will be little
more than half crop, while in Southern
Illinois the damage done is little more
than nominal In Kentucky everything
indicates full crop of all the principal
products. -.
It is shown that the Times was right
in predicting that the first reports OF
almost complete ruin to the crops were
very much exaggerated. The farmers.
although they viii not realize their ex-
pectations earlier in the season, are Tar
from the verge of bankruptcy, for they
will not only have plenty OF grain for
home consumption, but vii be able to
export nearly the usual amount to the
East and Europe. This is gratifying
Unexpectedly so in view of the unprece-
dentedly rainy season we have expe-
rienced.

Agricultural Exports.

The following table represents the
value of the principal articles of our ag-
ricultural exports for each decade from
1920 to 1870. The figures represent the
surplus wealth of the country. The rap
id increase in the agricultural exports
warrants the presumption that the sur
plus for the decade ending 1880 will
equal that of the 80 years preceding.
This table has been prepared by the.
Bureau of Statistics at Washington, and
can be relied upon for accuracy:

Friday. Aug. IS, was busy day for hangmen
in the South. In East Tennessee alone there
were three executions, VIZ: John G. Webb, at
Knoxville, for murder, robbery, and rape
w. H Berry, at Rogersville, for the murder of
his wife; and Ananias Honeycutt, at Tazewel
for the murder of his foster-father. All three
of the hangings were conducted in the old
fashioned way of mounting the criminal on =
wagon and then driving the vehicle from under
him. At least 80, 900 people witnessed the three
executions ALI of the culprits protested their
innocence but the evidence against them ives
conclusive. Thomas Withers, negro boy. was
hung at Lynchburg on the same day for the
murder of a white girl. The criminal died
hard. He succeeded three times in raising his
feet to the edge of the trap, and drew himself
up but as often did the Sheriff push them off.
