and Miss Margaret Rucker, which
were excellent; also the declarations
by Master Gid Williams, Muncy Nc

Remarks able Rec ord.

From the Washington (Pa.) Examiner.
In East Finley there resides II well-to-
do old farmer by the name OF Grey, who
is genuine curiosity IN tins age of tray
ell The old gentleman is seventy-throe
years OF age, and dwclls upon farm
within five miles Of the homestead set
tied by his father just sfter the Revolu-
ton. His warm attachment to home
aud his principle of sticking closely TO
his business has resulted in this strange
record. He has not visited Wheeling
for fifty years, though only twelve miles
away; has not been IL Washington,
though only eighteen miles away;
has not been further than six
miles from home lor the last
thirty years, excepting to attend
the bedside OF n dying brother living
eighteen miles away; lie has never been
on q jury; never ridden on the CARS, and
has never been visited by physician.
Although his father WAS professional
hunter, and no has lived in the back
woods all his life, he has never taken any
pleasure in this Chasc--never shot n deer
and has only filled one squirrel in his
life. His family is remarkably long
lived, his three sisters being respectively,
s3venty.eight, seventy six, seventy.one
years old, and his brother, who died three
years ago, being seventy-eIght. MIR.
Grey is An active, intelligent old gentle
man, respected by all who know him as
a thorough going, honest, upright man.

Mrs. Sherman, the Generals wife, has
written letter in which size expresses

THE advocates of this dance have had
