of the Ohio river, and the ancient land
mark, three chops and blaze" were
still visible by daylight on the old trees.
This ancient road and landmark were
adopted by the old surveyors and openers
of roads in the West to propitiate Heaven
in favor of the first settlers of the great
Western Wilderness, and hence the first
chop was fer the Father, the second for
the Son and the third fer the Holy Ghost /;
and the blaze was merely designated to at
tract the eye of the observer.
When Lambert struck this old road he
discovered on tue north side of it n dilapi-
dated log cabin. Approaching the cabin
he noticed light within, and, feeling
satisfied that the mur6erers were close at
hand, he gave loud cough. This brough.
to the rear door of the house the old woman
Mho occupied it, and who obtained a living
by selling cakes and beer to passing way
farers. Lambert, i'll a feigned voice, asked
to spend the night within, and was at once
admitted. He had but crossed the threshold
when the report of a musl<et was heard in
the next room, and the ball splintered the
woodwork OF the door above his head
Without a moments hesitation Lambert
with nothing but his tomahawk i'm hand,
sprang into the next room and struck down
the man in whose hand was the still smol-
ing musket. The villains companion, the
smaller man of the tao, at once fed the
house; but before he had passed beyond
the light of the fire within, the avenger,
with the wretcb's own rife, brought him
to the earth in a struggle with death that
lasted but second. AS soon as he had
fired the shot Lambert turned upon the
PROSTATE murderer, who was abou. to rise.
and struck him a second time, telling him
10 the floor again. He then, with n rope
furnished him by the old woman, bound
the villains hands and legs securely. In
the morning the avenger borrowed a horse
from the woman, strapped upon its back
the living and dead muIderers, and before
niehtfall arrived at Stottler's inn. On the
following day the living man was publicly
lynched in front of the inn, and the two
bodies were there consigned to unhonored
grave. Lambert's companions, craven
hearted as they had proven themselves,
were loud in praise of their daring leader,
who, until the day OF his DEATH was hero
in the humble circle OF life in which he was
placed.

A CENTENNIAL DoIL.-Mr. Jerome
Ticn, of Clermont county, gives us dc
scription and history of a centennial doll
which is still in TIE Tice family, preserved
as All heirloom, and which had sue h adven-
lures as make it an interesting relic. The
doll was New Years gift, Jan. /, 17s4,
10 little Sarah Horn, she being then but
three years old, and living in the city of
Philadelphia. Her father was sergeant
in the Pennsylvania Marines. The doll
was the gift of an uncle, who was wood
carver. 1t was more than foot in length,
and was a handsome piece of work, being
carved from wood, and representing wo-
man in the costume of the period, high h
heeled slippers, high headgear and ali
When Philadelphia was evacuated .NT.
Horns family went to Bordcntown, y. J.
and were there when Mr. Borden shouse was
burned At the battle of Monmouth the
family with others were hiding in swamp
near that battle ground. The doll shared
the fate of the family, but was preserved
in the swamp by its little owner with ten
der care. 1t has been held as ali heirloom
New Jersey by Mrs. South, descendant Of
Sarah Horn, who married Elias Tice, and
was given to member of the family.
During the Morgan Iaid it was in Batavia
and was again the object of tender solici-
tude on the part of its then young owner,
who concealed it in her clothing to keep it
flom falling into the hands of the enemy.
The doll is now in the possession of Tenn
perance Tice, whose home is in Indianapo-

ORIGIN or MAHOGANY FURNITUHE.-
Abou. the eighteeth century a West In
dia captain brought some mahogany logs
as ballast for his ship, and gave item to
his brother, DIR. Gibbons, an eminent
physician, who was then building house.
The wood was thrown asids as too hard for
the workmcn's tools. Some time after
ward his wife wanted a candle box. The
Dr. thought OF The West Indian wood. and
ont of that the box was made. Its color
and polish tempted the DR.. to have a bu-
reau of the same material and this was
thought SO beautiful that 1t was shown to
all his friends. The Duchess of Bucking-
ham, who came 10 look at il, begged " pod
enough to mako another bureau for herself
Then the demand arose for more, aud
Honduras mahogany became q common
article of trade.

A HOrErUL Convert. During late
revival in Kansas, notorious old sinner,
jim K, was hopefully converted, and
get up in a class meeting to give his e1-
perience. He commenced, soto voice, and
in a measured tone:
81 dreamed-a dream. 1Greamed-that
I died-aud went to hell"
A brother here rose in the body of the
house and remarked "Will the brother
speak little louder? We can't hear in
this quarter
Jim repeated, alto voice: 81 dreamed
that | died." etc, when another brother
rose in another quarter and renewed the
request.
Jim resumed altissimo: 81 dreamed, L
died." etc.
Hereupon ''culiud puss0n" in the gal
lery rose and cried out: "Will de brudder
sneak Iee.le louder. We can't hear in
de gallery"
Jim resumed vociferous!y 81 dreamed
that | died-and went TO hell. There,
YOU can hear that, You ID niger"
It may added that the faith of the au-
dience in Jim's conversion was slightly
shaken by this little episode.

NUMBER 9.
STR1NGE PARTTNG

1t is seldom indeed that a separation of
man and wife occurs under such stranes
circumstances. and in the manner given
herewith. Ibis was an actual occurrence
few days since, however, tho parties be.
ing well known, not only in the country
where they resided, but in this citv as we'll.
and we might give names, but withhold
them fer prudential reasons, This much
we VIII say, they lived in the edge of PLY.
mouth county, and we believe i'm Lincoln
township. The particulars, as related ,o
us, are substantially as follows:
The parties referred to were uni,ad in
marriage perhaps couple of years since.
and in order to consummate this end ,le
young man was compelled to renoupca
Protestanisin aud avOw allegiance Tn tho
Roman Catholic faith, the young woman
whom he desired to marry being a s,aurcb
Catholic. This step lie took In due time
after marriage a child was BORN TO the an.
parently happy couple to more firmly unite
Ibeir hearts in love for each other. But
this event did not have a tendency to work
that end. Soon after The birth of tbeir
little one the wife expressed a desire to
have 1t baptized in the church and in the
faith she had espoused. To this the bue-
band sternly objected saying that he would
as soon see the child dead. Therefore. as
the wife could not prevail upon her bus-
oand TO accede to her request in the matter
of the baptism of the little babe, the SUBJ
Ject for the time being was dropped. 4
little later the babe sickeEed and died. and.
IN justice to the afflicted ones. we will prc-
sumo that they both felt as deep sorrow
over their loss as father or mother could
feel at the death of an only child. The
wife very naturally demanded that a priest
ofiiciate at the last sad rites, while the hus
band strongly and very unreasonably, as it
appears to us, objected TO any such thing,
and asserted that a prominent and good
neighbor, who ofttines breaches, but who
Is Protestant, should conduct the funeral
services. The parents OF the young wife,
we understand, also endoavored to get their
son-in-law to comply with The wishes of
his wife in this respect, but he stubbornly
refused to yield, and SO the little one was
laid away 10 lis last rest, we believe, with
out any formal Christian burial service.
Here, at the grave of the child, was en-
acted the strangest part of the whole pro-
ccedings. In view of what had already
transpired, the mother asserted i. to be the
duty of her now chldless daughter to re-
turn home to the parental roof, and leave
the man whom she had avowed to love and
obey, and there, over the fresh grave of
their babe, the young husband and wife
clasped hands and bade each other farewell
forever.-SicUT City Journal.

How lie COLLECTED THE MARRIAGE
F'EEs.-A good story is told of newly
appointed Justice of The Peace in one of
the western States who was called on 5000
after his accession to Office to marry a
couple. lie was bachelor and had never
been TO a wedding, and had no form book
which showed him Just how to do the thing
properly. However, as there was no one
else within fifty miles, lie thought, who
could marry them, he determined 10 try
and, having an eye TO the main chance he
looked out for his fee in novel manner.
as he did not expect to receive a very large
one, and, Judging from the mans appear
ance, felt doubtful of getting any. He
began by swearing the groom "Put your
right hand on the Bible. You do solemnIy
swear that the evidence you give in the
case of Robert Jones against Mary Smith
shall be the truth, SO help you God. Kiss
the book and pay me one shilling" The
groom, somewhat surprised, did this, and
the Squire proceeded : "Will you take
Mary Smith to be your wife - Il will"
"Will you provide for her, give her good
and suitable clothes, and keep plenty of
provision in tie house, and will you take
care of her if she should be sick p ssI
WILL The Squire then proceeded to swear
the bride in the same way, looking out for
his other shilling, and inteTrogating her as
to whether she would ''be good and obe-
dient wife, and take care of his house, and
nurse him if he should be sick, and take
good care Of the babies" The bride blush
cd a little at the last clause, but promised
and the cratic Justice said: "The Court
finds you Ipai ricd, and orders that the
costs be paid by Robert Jones; then you
can go.'' The man Erumbled little at
being obliged to dis5urse money the third
time, but paid dollar finally, and the
couple departed.

that
"Well, but, cap'n, once more ; don't you
remember the big niger that was almost
cutting you down? Don't you remember
the man who stood between you and death,
and what he got for it 4? Dom you remem-
Der that ?"-and, brushing back his hair,
the prisoner showed great scar down one
side of his head.
The whole court looked on breathless as
the captain stared at the scar and the man
till his eyes seemed starting from his head.
At length, as if in a dream, the captain
muttered to himself: 'Is it possible ?''
Then, slowly and deliberately, he got ont
of the W illness box and clambered into the
dock, where he seized the prisoners hand,
and, turning to the judge, said My lord,
this was the best man in my crew, and he
saved my life. Kind Providence has sent
me here to save him. He is so changed by
illness and imprisonment that l could NOT
recognize him. But there is no mistake
now, and if You hang the old bo's Of the
Nulture you must hang his captain with
h:n.''
Then followed scene rarely witnessed
in court of justice. Amid cheers and
sobs that no one cared to suppress the
Judge briefly directed the jury to reconsider
their verdict, which they at once did, find
ing a unanimous. Not guilty" The
prisoner was discharged, and left the dock
arm in ann with the captain. They were
;el int oh 70 ba i,,,
in triumphal procession, and after a
sunptuous lunch they posted off together
to London. AS they cleared the ancient
town Captain Sharpe might have been

as follows
'sWell old pal, VIC pulled through that

We could never have touched that evil

fering boatswain of the Vulture ''and if
you had cot5oned to me a minute too soon,
the old bcall would have been fly to the
tick. Lord, | was fit to burst when the
old boy began to cry"
From which brief remark we gather that
''Captaiu Sharpe might have known mole
