THE FOX CHASE.

TO-N NIl<AcE.
a grand Fox Chase took place at
Shepherdstown, w. Va, on the 10Th
inst, beautiful little town located on
the banks of the Potomac, about ten
miles above Harper's Ferry. AS the
sun rose beautiful and bright on that
morning., crowds of people commenced
focking in from all parts of the country
to witness the grand chase. Maryland
was well represented, having some OF
choicest dogs present on that occasion.
Berkeley county having some very fine
dogs to participate in the chase. 1t had
now narrowed down to a very fine
point that Maryland was making des
perate effort to beat Virginia on her
own soil III fair chase. AT II o'clock
the fox was taken about mile from
town and turned loose, the dogs having
been kept back half hour later. Soon
a party of gentlemen numbering about
forty, headed by Mr.. William Black
ford of Washington County, Md, who
had fine trio Of dogs anxious for glory,
went dashing up town at headIong
speed. As soon as the spot was reach
ed where the fox had been turned loose,
the dogs together, both Virginia and
Maryland, were turned loose, and soon
an interesting and exciting chase fol
lowed, the Virginia dogs taking the
lead. Soon the Maryland dogs belong.
ing to Mr.. Blacktord went leaping by,
taking the lead and kept it for half an
hour, when Virginia dog made its APP
pearance from under hill, taking a
near cut, run under the fox, throwing
it up in the air. AS the fox struck
the ground, one Of Mr. Blackfori's
dogs killed it, the day having been
lost for Virginia. 1t was determined
to have drag chase to test the speed
of the dogs from both States A gen
tleman mounted on a blooded steed
went darting off at full speed, the dogs
were soon turned loose on the track OF
the dead fox, and one of the most beau
tiful races ensued that my eyes ever be-
held. There was no time during the
race, in the space Of two miles but what
a blanket would have covered all three
Of Mr.. Blackford's dogs. Much credit
is given TO the proprietor OF the Entler
Hotel, as he and G. NJ. d. Conley got
off this most interesting and successful
affair. After the chase they all repaired

LER, aged 70 years, 5 months and 20
days.
After an illness of about seven weeks,

Ter, when but 80 Yeas old, was taken in
the Lutheran ChuIch as a member,
where he discharged every known duty
TO God, until up TO within few years
of his death when he became Il member
of the United Brethren Church. Yes,
he is gone; he has fulfilled his mission
here on earth, and his soul returned to
the God who gave il. That pleasant
cOurtenance We ne'er shall see again.
The sorrow stricken wife and children,
who feel that devoted husband and
father has been removed, have much TO
comfort them. A short time before he
died he called them 10 his bedside
and bid them farewell He asked them
TO meet him in heaven. And TO bis
widowed daughter he said. "Your hand,
Emma, that you will meet me in Heav-
en-" She gave him her hand and prom
ised TO meet him in Heaven. Long

members Of that family can realize that
the cheerful tones and sweet voice are
no more to be heard by them on earth
Oh! NAV it be their endeavor TO cherish
his last words to them on earth. BE ye

s@ A project is on foot among
Congressman relative to legislation look
ing to popular loan, somewhat like
the loan of France, Immediately after
the war with Prussia, and which was
taken by the people of that country
themselves. The belief is that if bonds
of the denomination of FIVE dollars and
upwards; and drawing interest at the
rate of OF per cent per annum, were
issued, so that persons of small means
could purchase them, the entire debt
OF the United States could be put into
this form of bonds, and be taken up in
this country.
