put in circulation and numerous!y signed on
Saturday evening, and he has gone to Wash

DEATH OF AN AGED LADY.-Mrs. Nancy
Clymer died, after a brief illness, at the
residence of her daughter Mrs. Elizabeth
Jones, near UniouviIle in this county, ON
Friday night last, in tho S4:h year of her
ago. She had been a faithful and devoted
communicate of the Presbyterian Church
from the age of thirteen-for more than
seventy ycars-and to the last kept her lamp
trimmed and brightly burning, awaiting the
coming of the Bridegroom. Her mental and
physical faculties were active up to her last
Illness, which was Of but a few hours dura-
ton. She was the mother of q large family,
Gone of her sons being the Rev. j. NJ. Clymer,
of Winchester Prcsbytcry, and pastor of the
Church at Keysor w. Va.,) and leaves a
large connection to mourn her demise. In her
death a mother in Israel has indeed fallen,
but her long years of faithful service to her
Lord and Master have been 1raught with
blessed deeds that will cause those who knew
her best to cherish her memory as one indeed
called of God.

CHARLEsTowN AoADEMY.-We are in
debted to Capt. VIM. H. Kable for a catalogue
of the Charlestown Male Academy-session
1886, a handsomely printed pamphlet,
which shows the steady and we'll deserved
success of this excellent school. With such
teachers as Capt. Kable, a graduate of the
University of Virginia, and Mr.. Francis R.
heavell, a graduate of Washington and Lee
University, and with its favorable location
there is no reason why this school should not
draw to itself patronage from this entire Sec
tion of our State, and from neighboring cities.
"a good school for either sex is a great blessing
to any community, and such the Academy is
to our own. In addition to the usual matter
of a Catalogue, we observe specimens of the
examinations given in the several classes at
the close of tho present session in Latin,
Greek, Mathematics and Roman History
These examinations cover a wide field, testing
the pupils thoroughness and accuracy in each
study, and requiring familiarity with the gen.
eral subject, and the exercise of thought, not
of memory, for their mastery.

While it would be premature as yet
to attempt comparisons between the
objects exhibited in the Machinery
Hall by the different nations, a slight
| sketch may be given of the machines
exhibited by each, so far as they. are
in position. The most prominent ex-
hibitor as to space, and the most, for
ward of those having any large area,
is Great Britain and Ireland. Speak
ing in the most general way, the con.
tributions from the Mother Country
embrace various applications of steam,
as follows: Steam, traction-engines,
steam ,p,inps, steam. hammers, sugar,
mills with engine and centrifugal;
draining machine; steam crane, steam
boilers, steam: Coal mining machine,
4 steam-driven hydraulic-press. In 9TH
er classes: The 'sWalter" web print
ing machine, >mitldling purifiers from
London, felt roofing from Belfast, to-
bacco spinning-machine from Stock.
port, railway safety apparatus. The
most noticeable things in the section
are the Aveling and Porter road-en.
gines from Rochester; it should seem
that enough of these have been i'm.
|
at home. The sugar-mill and engine
of Mirrlees, TAFT & Andrews Of Glas-
Cow is a striking exhibit, covering q
good deal of space, and looming up in
fine proportions. There is roomi.
ness about it suggestive of the sugar
shed and plantation, differing nobly
from the arrangement of parts where
land is so many dollas per square foot.

The first of them which one reaches
in coming from the city is the main
exhibition building; but the anly
point from which comprehensive
view may be taken of them all is from
the summit of Georges hill, on the
western margin of the Exhibition
grounds, and here the specta-
tor will see the machinery and agricul
tural halls in the foreground, and the
main building and art gallery in the
distance. Looking at them from this
point, it will be seen that the northern
faces OF, the main and machinery build
ings are in 4 line that they are divided
by an avenue, but connected by 4
covered way and that the length
from the extreme of one building
to the extreme Of the other is
very great---more than two-thirds
of a mile. Running along the
northern length of these buildings is a
boulevard one hundred feet in width,
which is traversed by a double line of
narrow guage cars, for the accommo-
dation of visitors. Three hundred feet
back of the main building, their GEN.
ters being in a line, stands the art
gallery. Next northward, and on
the further side of Landsdowne valley,
which is crossed by 4 bridge, is the
horticultural building; back still of it.,
northermost of the principal struc.
lures, is the agricultural building, and
midway between this and the machin-
cry hall is the. site of the building
for the exhibition to be made by the
United States government.

Israel Putnam raised on Prospect Hill,
July 18, ITS, flag bearing on one
side the motto Of the commonwealth
of Massachusetts, "Qui transtulit sus
tinet,' and on the other ''An appeal to
Heaven" an appeal well taken and
amply sustained. In October, l775,
the floating batteries of Boston bore a
flag with the latter motto and a pine
tree upon white field with the Massa-
chusetts emblem. Some of the colo.
nies used in 1775 a flag with rattle
snake coiled as if about to strike, and

On January Is, 1875, the Grand
Union flag was raised on the heights
near Boston and it said that some of
the regulars made the great mistake
of supposing it was taken of submis.
sion to the king, whose speech had
just been sent to the Americans. The
British register of l776 says: 'sThey
(the rebels) burnt the kings speech
and changed their colors from a plain
red ground to a flag with thirteen
stripes as a symbol of the number and
union of the colonies" A letter from
Boston, published in the Pennsylvania
Gazette in 1778, says: *'The Union
flag was raised on the second, a com.
pliment to the United Colonies. y
These various flags, the Pinetree, the
Rattlesnake, and the Stripes, were
used according to the tastes of the pa
triots until July, l776, when the blue

stripes and the flag established by law
