Talking of weather, hear man from
Bridgeport, New. A rancher just in
from there says that night before last
it froze the water in his well, the water
being twenty seven feet from the sur
face. "But this is not as bad as the
day before" he went on. 81 went out
iuto the chicken coop, which adJolns
my house aud has fire in it all the time,
and m ost of the heus were nearly fro
zen. One old timer was on the nest,
and do you believe it, she laid an egg
that was frozen solid" The man
looked about TO see If any one doubted
his word, but all seemed deeply i'm
pressed with its truthfulness. a miner
who had spent the winter in Florence,
Ind, was about to tell his experience III
that place, but the barkeeper reached
for his gun and said: "All weather

DEATH OF A CENTENARLAN.

The death 10 Shepherdstown GU Thurs
day oflast week, of WinneyShelto1,a VEN
cradle and much respected co!ored wo-
man of this community at the great age
of one hundred and ten years, was the
severance of one more OF those few re-
naming links which bind this genera
ton to the past century.
The subject of this sketch was born
in King and Queen county, Virginia,
before the Revolutionary war, about the
year ITO, according 10 all accounts,and
was the property OF Wilson Richards
from East Virginia, who bequeathed
her to his maiden daughter, the late
Miss Patsy Richards, recollections of
whose life and character are still fresh
in the memory of our older inhabitants.
She was brought to what is now Jetfer-
son county. about eighty years ago, and
lived as faithful servant in the families
of Mr. Raleigh Morgan and bis decend-
ants until after the late war; since which
time. she has resided with her son-in-
law, the venerable Jacob Sebert, better
known for the last forty years, 10 the
guests of the Entler Hotel, as doctor
Seibert." Her husband, Kicker Shell
ton, who died some years ago, at an adj
yanced age, was the body servant OF the
redoubiable General Green, of revolu-
iionary fame, and accompanied his mas
Ter through all the vicissitudes OF that
protraeted and arduous struggle Tor the
independence ofthe American Colonists'
1t was certainly a wonderful sight 20
look upon the decrepid figure OF this
truly remarkable old woman, whose fac
ulties seemed perfectly preserved until
the day of her death, and TO hear her talk
with the same familiarity, as if they
occurred yesterday, OF events that we
have always been accustomed to asso-
ciate with the birth of the nation. She
was particularly fond Of giving her per-
sonal recollectious of distinguished per-
sonapes, whom she remembered to have
seen, and spoke with enthusiasm of the
striking figure of General Washington,
booted aud spurred, and mounted upon
his beautiful white horse, with three
cooked hat and nodding plume. She
also remembered Lafayette and num-
Der of old revolutionary worthless, and
took particular delight in giving the
,niputest detail of their dress and ap-
pearance.
At the outbreak of the Revolution,
being quite good sized girl, she re-
membered her mistress gathering up
the servants ard all the valuables about
the place, removing them to the back
woods to escape the ravages OF the
British troops, who were committing
fearful deesedations upon the rebellious
colouists After long and honored life,
she passed away peacefully aud without
q struggle, on the 18th instant, and al
though devoted member of the Luth-
erau Communion, her remains were bu-
ried from the African nj. z. Church, and
the foneral preached by the pastor, Rev
Henry Ebert

Loudoun county, Virginia, near the TO

armed men and hanged. Wallace was ar
rested near Shepherdstown, on February
.. and committed to Hagerstown jail.
Yesterday Sheriff Caruthers and Deputy
Sheriff Nixon, of Leesburg, Va, arrived
in Hagerstown with arequisition Tor W al.
lace from the Virginia authorities, anu

With Wallace, Jailor Nixon being hahd-

10 we'd by large crowd. On arriving Ut
the ferry the officers and prisoner were
rowed to the Virginia shore, followed Dy
IL
or forty persons. As the officers stepped
on shore they we've met by about 80 or
more men with handkerchiefs tied over
their faces. The crowd then seized the
officers and disarmed them, procured the
KEY and unlocked Nixon from the prison
er. The officers did everything III their
power to protect their prisoner, DuI IL

A Much MARRIED MANA breach
of promise case is soon TO be tried in
Columbus, Indiana, the plaintiff being
a girl of Brown county, aged 10, and
the defendant "a. The defendant, Jo-
seph Boicourt, has remarkable history,
having been four times married. His
first wife, after the birth OF son, eloped
with her brother-in law, aud lived with
him till her death. His second wife
died five years ago, leaving son. After
being six months a widower be vas a.
gain married, but his wife died sudden
" last November About six weeks
after his last wites death he wrote 10
the plaintiff of this breach of promise
suit, who lived in Brown County, and
asked her for her heart and hand, and
not receiving reply after waiting un-
til about month ago, he married his
sons the child of his first wite) divorc-
ed wife, whose maiden name was John
son, niece of former wife. Two
weeks ago he received letter from the
girl in Brown county, saying she would
accept his offer. and also naming the
second Sunday in February as the day.
Joe then wrote her that he had taken
unto himself rib, after waiting patti
eu,ly for two months for an answer,
and now the fair maiden threatens to
sue for breach of promise. A question,
as follows, concerning his last marriage,
is perplexing the lawyers at present:
His last wife has child, the offspring
of his son. Surprising child is born
unto them nov, what relation will the
I two children be to each other, and how
will they inherit their father and grand
fathers estate.

The Iowa House of Representatives
has before it bill to prohibit the nui.
sance Of treating. II is said that
treating, rs a social custom, is confined
to this country. II is a senseless Gus
tom. II Is worse than senseloss. IL
has caused, is still causing, the ruin OF
thousands of worthy, promising young
men, II is one of the unaccouniable
things that 50 unreasonable a custom
should I've 50 firmly established. Take
a single illustration Four or five
young men happen to get together at
night. One ofthem proposes a drink.
The proposition is accepted; the drink
is taken aud enjoyed. Theu in turn
each Of the other young men regards
il as social duty to treat. Thus
three or four drinks, not merely use.
less, but most harmful and often re.
pugnant tn some Of the company, are
taken one after another, within an
hour or SO. In Kentucky it would he
useless 20 talk about an intcrdicting
law. Our legislators, who know the
value of such a custom as an aid in
securing votes, would laugh to scorn
a bill with such purpose. Irdivid-
ual determination might do a great
deal towards breaking up the custom.
If the men-aud we believe there are
a good many of them-who, while oc-
casionally taking a drink, yet see the
pernicious results of treating, would
refuse to treat or be treated decided
check would be given to this PERM.
cious custom. -[Covington Common.
