mulating in the Bank Of Eng
land for nearly seventy years,
and now amounts to nearly
twenty millions of dollars in
hard cash. As the recipients
Of this intelligence are all in
very moderate circumstances
the sensation produced among
them by this Arabian Nights
sort Of Information may be i'm
agined. 1t seems that one Rob
ert Sheppard in 1910 placed the
fund which was the nucleus of
this mammoth fortune in the
Bank of England to the credit
of a sister. Her. elopement
caused an estrangcment be-
tween them which lasted some
years, and all his subsequent
efforts to find her were unsuc-I
cessful. At his death, heirs to
himself or sister We're advertised
for, but none appeared, and the
money has remained untouched
till now. What lucky accident
threw the clue to these Brook
lynites in the way of the pub
lie administrator in England is
not known. As it is, every per-
son of the name of Sheppard for
a hundred miles around is pick
ing up his ears and licking his
lips in hopes of getting a slice
OF that fat inheritance. 1t is
very much to be feared that had
this taken place in this country
some one would have managed
to get his hands on a treasure
of this size which had begging
for such a length of time.

hangs its massive form above
the oaken timbers which sup
ported it on that memorable &C.
casion. It's prophetic inscrip-
ton is still legible. Like the
heroes of its day, it is no longer
able to do service, but it will
ever be kept in honor of what it
represents. A table and chair
formerly owned by William
Penn, and a fine painting by
West, entitled Penn's treaty
with the Indians, suspended on
the wall above them form anoth-
er interesting collection. Wash
ington's old war chair is among
many other interesting things
which space will not permit us
to, mention. The room on the
opposite side Of the entry is
honored as being the place,
where Congress after long and
spirited debate, unanimously
passed the immortal Declara-
ton. The portraits Of our coun-
try's heroes crowd the walls on
every side. Winding up broad
stair case we are ushered into
the room where Washington
delivered his famous farewell adj
dress. BY the side of the stair
way the following is inscribed on
the wall, in large characters
"This building was commenced
in the J year A. d. 1882, A. U.
G. so. Its architect and super
intendent was Andrew HamiI-

The War.

1t is exceedingly difficult for
one to form a satisfactory opinion
as to TIE real state Of tue contest
now going on in the East, in
which Russia and Turkey are the
principal actors. The intelligence
received from there is so varied,
and often contradictory, that Il
satisfactory conclusion is almost
impossible. One day it is this
way, the next day it is that way;
this movement bas been made, and
then it has not; a battle has been
fought and then it has not; the
Russians were defeated one day
and then we are told they were
not; and so it goes from day to
day. Most of the reports that
reach US come through sources
uniriendly to the Russians, and
may, therefore, be regarded as
colored to some extent By the
media through which they pass.
This much, however, may be re-
garded as true: there is war, and
it is being waged on quite a large
scale. All the countries of Europe
are deeply interested, some for
one reason, some for another, and
all the great Powers, as they are
called, are busily engaged in try
ing to prepare as best they can
for whatever may turn up.
The latest news from the seat
of war is to the effect that tn =
Russians had captured Abraham,
taking sixty guns with large a.
mount Of military stores, but had
been repeatedly r,pulsed with
great loss in attempting 10 cap
ture Kars.
Reports from Constautinople
say the Turkish authorities have
proclaimed a holy war against the
Russians. This is what every
well informed man would have
expected from the first. and it
may have very marked inAu-
ence on Mahommedans in other
countries and bring many volun-
teers to their assistance. 1t is al
so reported that another change
in chief rulers at Constantinople
may be looked for at no distant day
rather it may occur any day.

Afr. Editor-It WAS my pleas
ant privilege to be present at
the closing exercises Of tie
above named Institute Friday
night, 25th nit. ; and all who Wit
messed it pronounced it excel
lent. The evening was devoted
almost exclusively to the little
people, and they convinced the
large audience that the faculty
had spared no pains i'll improy-
ing their youthful minds. On
account of such q multitude OF
people as was in the house, it
was almost impossible FOR them
to be heard but Il little distance
from the. stage. We wish We
could mention all that was done.
but the programme being such
a lengthy one, that if we were
to give full detail it would al
most fill the columns of your
paper. But we viii mention u
few of them:
The exercises were opened
with an earnest and impressive
prayer by Rev. B. G. Chapman,
of Columbia, during which the
best attention and Silence pre-
vailed. Then came the speech
es from the little folks, ,sfrst,
"Giye us little People a chances"
by a small boy of about seven
summers. Next, "Katie-Did"
by three little girls, and was
we'll spoken and the audience
delighted with 1T. "Matrimo-
n.y." eharade in two acts.
This piece was especially attrac-
tive; the comedian Dennis
kept the audience in a hearty
laugh. "Seasons--spring, sum
mer, autumn and winter" by
four beautiful little girls, eacii
representing her character ad-
mirably; "Matrimony and Old
Maids" another comic eharade,
kept the house in II roar. The
exercises closed with a beauti-
ful valedictory address by Miss
Sallie Ashby, which was read
with grace, and caused many to
shed tears.
Miss Sallie Landess deserves
special notice for the interest
the took in the entertainment.
We have heard that she never
undertakes anything but she
makes a success Of it, and she
certainly made a success Of the
affair of Friday night.
Enough cannot be said in
praise of Oak Hill Institute.
The principal, Prof Burton,a and
the entire faculty are instrue-
tors of the highest grade. In
the exercises of the examination
just closed they conclusiyely
convinced their patrons that
their labors have not been in
vain. The closing remarks oi
Prof. Stokes were excellent.
He assured the patrons Of the
Institute, that the next session
would be conducted in a sat
isfactory manner, and that
the faculty should be of the
very best that could be pro-
cured.
The attendance was very
large. The crowd was estima-
ted at about 1900, the largest,
some say, that ever attended
the closing exercises of the IN
stitute. The music was excel
lent, as is always the case with
such a performer as our friend
Clay Higgins.
Your reporter returns his
thanks to the faculty for cour-
tesies extended to himself aud
wife, and to Rev, N. ID. Craw-
ford and Mr.. A. I'll. Russell for
assistance rendered after the
exercises closed. NJ. QUAD.

BIZ JESSIE FERGUSON BROWNE.

By JESSIE FERGUSON BROWNE.
She sleeps In death serenely now, f## /,
Regardless Of each passing day,
She died in beauty's youthful bloom,
And from this world hath passed away,
Like sunset hour at evenings close,
So sweetly sleep the unconscious dead;
How calm the christians last repose,
When from this world the soul hath fed.
EH VI Il
Reclining on her Saviour's breast s-
Adorned in faith and purity,
She's where the righteous are at rest,
From trials aad temptations free.
With angels in that happier land.
Her Saviour's summons TO obey;
She's gone to join that holy band,
And in their heavenly presence stay.
Fair are the flowers that deck the earth,
And FL the air with sweet perfume;
But fairer those Of heavenly birth, -rer
That will in fadeless beauty bloom. ~ 4
Oh, weep not, friends, in hopeless grief,
The absent one cease to deplore;
For why lament? the time is brief,
When you shall meet to part no more.
We all shall meet in that blest CLINE,
The loved ones of our earthly home;
Transferred to regions now sublime.
Beyond the precincts of the tomb.

HOMICIDE AT CINCINNATI.
DR.. R. N Reese Killed by Newton NobIett,

We regret to record the fatal result of
a quarrel at Cincinnati on Saturday last,
in which DR.. Il. NJ. Reese, well known
PHI ysican of that section, lost his life at
the hands of Newton Noblett. The facts
as we learn them, are about as follows !:
The parties had evidently had some
previous misunderstanding, and when
Dir. Reese came in the morning, he rode
up to Mr.. H. Shields store, where he
dismounted handing the reins to friend,
Noblett was sitting IN front of the store
of j. M. Cox ~ Son, few doors distant
Reese went up to where Noblett was sit.
ting, and an angry controversy cnsued,
in which violent expressions were used
and Reese seized chair in a threatening
manner. Noblett then went to Shield S
store and got his rifle. Reese followed
slowly in the same direction, aud stopped
on the way to draw his pistol from his
hip pocket. lie again started toward
the store Of Mr.. Shields, when Noblett
raised his rifle and fired, killing him
instantly. Noblett left, but afterward
came in and surrendered TO the officers.
An examination was to be had Monday

Old Mr.. Collamorc is very deaf. The
other Sunday, in the midst of the SER
vices, Mr.. Hoif. who sits Immediately
behind Mr. Collamore, saw spider craw-
ling over the latter's head. His first
impulse was to nudge him and tell him
all about it, but then he remembered that
Mr. c was deaf, SO he lifted up his hand
and brushed the spider off Hof didn't
aim quite high enough, and consequently
in his nervousness. he hit old Collamore
quite severe blow. The old gentleman
turned around in a rage to see who dared
to take such liberty with him, and Hoff
began to explain with gestures the cause
of the occurrence. But Collamorc in
loud voice demanded what it meant. 1t
was very painful to Hoff, The eyes OF
the congregation were upon him. and he
grew red in the face. "There was a spi-
der on your head" "a white place on
my head, hey? S'pose there is, what's
that to your said Collamore, you'll
know what it is to be bald headed your
self some day" alt was SPIDER"
shrieked Hof, while the congregation
smiled and the perspiration began to roll
off his face. certainly it's WIDER" said
Collamore, "and it's got more in it than
yours. But let it alone--do you mind !?
You may let my head alone in church."
"Mr. Collamore,' shrieked HoH, "therc
was bug on your head and l brushed
him oit--this way" and Hof made an
other gesture at Collamore' head. The
old man thought he was going to fight
him then and there, and hurting hymn
book at Hotf, he seized the kneeing stool
on the floor of the pew and was about to
bang Mr.. lIoH, when the sexton inter
fered. An explanation was written on
the fly leaf Of the hymn book, whereupon
Mr.. Collamore apologized in bosterous
voice. and resumed his seat Then the
service proceeded. They think of asking
Mr.. Collamorc to worship elsewhere.
