DEATH OF EX-SHERIFF THOMAS MIL
LER HALL.--On Saturday, the lst instant,
Ex-SheriT Thomas Miller Hall died at his
home in Milcsburg at the advanced age of
70 years, and on the following Monday
afternoon his remains were followed to
their last resting place by large nsmbcr
of relatives and friends. Sheriff Hall was
prominent and well known citizen He
WAS elected Sheriff of Centre county In the
year lsI5, aud served his full term of three
years in that office The vote at his elcc.
tion WAS as follows: For r. NJ. Hall, l45I
for John ID. Petrikcn, 1868, aud for Peter
B. Gray, 3al. This vote attested his pop
ularity and it may be said that he filled
the honorable position 10 which the favor
of his fellow-citizcns had elevated him
with great credit and fidelity. lIe was
afterwards nominated by the Democracy Of
Centre county for State Senator, but failed
to receive the nomination in the district.
During the entire period Of his active life
he was an ardent and uncompromising
Democrat, and an efficient and energetic
party worker.
The home of the deceased was for many
years in Milcsburg, whore he was always
regarded ns kind friend and good neigh
Dor. For great length Of time ho kept

She Decided to stay Unmarried.


1t seems that young man and wo.
man OF Bucksport. Me-, were not SO
much married rs they thought they
were short time ago. They mel,
and were each charmed with the
others qualities. A mutual friend
ship sprang up, which in few days
ripencd into love. 1t was agreed
that they should be married, and after
brief lapse of time, they visited a
wcll-known Justice of the Peace IN
that town, and were married, or sup
posed that they were. Two weeks
passed on, and the discovery was
made by the supposed Justice of the
Peace that his term of Office had ex-
pired prior 10 the marriage ceremony,
and that tho couple was not legally
married. The surprise of the man
aud his affianced, when the states Of
the case was told them, can hardly be
imagined. They had lived together
as man and wife for two weeks, and
tho announcement Of the fact that
they were not married created quite a
little sensation. But tho sequel is
even stranger that what went before.
The would-be husband said to his
intended wife that they would go and
see some one who was really just
leo OF the Peace, and get legally nar-
ried. She said she believed SHE did
not care to; that she had enought Of

A Remarkable old Woman with an
overstock Of Eocentricity.

Romances in real life are not so
scarce as might be thought, writes
London correspondent. BY an ex-
traordinary little turn of tate, | yesl-
crday found myself In the most sim
gular house of mourning 1t was ever
my lot 10 visit. The survivors were
principal cats, but there were also
dogs and guinea pigs, and fowls and
mice. In the humble coffin amid
this curious geological aud ornitholo-
gical collection thcro lay tho remains
of woman, of some sixty years of
age, who in early life was fair and
handsome, and the lucky possessor OF
a fortune OF some f25, 900. The tale
told me was this: Crossed in love, as
it is called, when about twenty-three
years of age, she became reserved
and taciturn, refused to sec her relu-
lions, and TO hold any communica-
tion with her former friends and ac-
quaintan:es. Her wealth she seemed
10 resolve should never pcrcolate by
any chance into the circles in which
she had been wont to move.
Having set up her menagerie, which
she renewed from time TO time rs
deaths occurred, she hit upon this GU
rious device for circulating the coiu
under her control. She would issue
invitations 10 some twenty or thirty
deserving people at time, TO whom
she would exhibit her birds and ami
mails and then rs they passed out she
would give to this one q sovereign, to
that one two, and to another f5 note.
Struggling tradesmen were her par
ticular fancy, and any one of these
receiving note from the queer old
lady" might throw off his anxiety,
for whatcverhis difficulties they were
sure to be relieved If only he once
got within the walls of this curious
establishment. | am sorry to say
that this eccentric yet good natured
creature managed herself'o outrun
the constable several years before her
death, but her friends, hearing of her
position, so managed to supply her
with the neccssaries Of life assnot to
wound her susceptibilities, and to
save her from the death from which
she had rescued SO many others,

Surnames.

Did you ever notice how few sur
names there are in the Bible3 That
is because they had not come into
fashion then. Until the eleventh CEN
tury after Christ, surnames were not
used in England. Some of them
originated in this wise: They had
plain John, and Andrew, and James
Bye and bye. TO distinguish Andrew,
the son of John, they said Andrew
Johns son, and then made the last
two words one, 80 in process of time
we have Andrew johnson. John
Anderson, and Andrew Jameson.
Others were named from their occu-
pations. There were Matthew The
baker. and Timothy the barber, and
Tom the smith, and James the butler,
and John the carpenter. In due time
these occupations became their sur
names. aud while the given names
changed with each generation, the
children have brought down the SUR
names derived from the pursuit Of
some remote ancestor.

which we can't exactly explain just

OF which seem TO be about two-thirds

cord the fact that Mr.. Len Faxon, ed.
itor of the Paducah News, and the
only really patriarchal- looking man
ip the State, has Withdrawn from the
contest for Representative from Nc
Cracken county. His reason for so
doing is "a lack of time and means,' =
which these days are very good rea-
sons; for under the method Of OBJ.
taining nomination now it is moi
only necessary TO work about twenty
hours out of every twenty-four each
day. but also TO assist such work
with means, which means money. II

lingly have gone 10 his assistance. for

investcdif spent In securing 10 the
