Mrs. John c. Brown in Washington.

The Washington Republican, of
the 23d inst, says:
The wife and daughter of ex Gov
ernor j. G. Brown, of Tennessee,
are spending the week at Wizards
Their present winter residence is at
Marshall, Texas, but Mrs. Brown is
visiting her daughter, Miss Minnie,
a pupil in the Georgetown Convent,
who is enjoying her vacation with
her mother. General Brown was
one of General Joe Johnston's most
trusted officers in the Confederate
service, and was summoned away
to camp by an imperative telegram
from his commanding general few
moments after his marriage. When
his bride visited him a few weeks
later, General Johnston came up to
offer congratulations, and she re
minded him of the sorrow his per-
emptory order had caused. "Mad-
am, l made your marriage roman
tic," was his ingenious reply. Mrs.
Brown, an accomplished and attrac-
tive lady, accompanied by herdaugh-
ter, visited the senate and house
galleries Monday. General John
ston and other preventative south
ern congressman came up to pay
their aspects. Ex-Governor Brown
is in Philadelphia, but will join his
wife and daughter before the close
of the week.

How a Rat Stopped a Mill.

A few days ago, Mr.. William
McGrew, of the Ilth district, went,
according to custom, and raised the
water gate at his mill pond which
is about three hundred yards from
the mill. He then returned to
commence grinding. The water
flowed freely down the channel and
fell upon the big overshot wheel,
filling the buckets, but the wheel
itself stubbornly refused to revolve.
Mr.. McGrew was surprised at this
refractory caper of the old and
hitherto faithful wheel and hurried
down to ascertain the reason. The
cause of the trouble was made APP
parent, when a big gopher rat,
stiff and cold in desth, was found
wedged in between two cogs OF the
wheel. The rodent had evidently
made a raid upon the mill and
made free with the grain, after
which. it is supposed, it slipped in
20 the wleel about the lime it made
it's last revolution.

Death of Mrs. Minerva Reynolds.

This really good woman, whose
virtues added lustre to the mstron
age of the county, expired Sunday
afternoon last, in the list year OF
her age. A recent stroke of paraly-
Sis, against which a frame enfee
bled by age could offer no defense,
FASTENED her end, and she passed
away despite the lamentations of
those who reverenced her gray
hairs and to whose happiness a
continuance of her useful life was
so essential. Her children, to whom
she was devotedly attached, and
whose characters bear the imprint
of maternal love and training, be-
moan her loss and their grief is
shared by a large circle of relatives
and friends. The funeral service
was conducted by Rev. d. L. Will
son, pastor of the Presbyterian
church, and her remains were in
tered in the New Cemetery in this
place Monday afternoon. Mrs.
Reynolds was the relict of the late
Giles A. REYNOLDS.

Maj. B. f. Matthews, State sena-

fined to his bed by a very severe at
