On Wednesday, July 9th, tho friends
and relatives of the wheelwright Of this
village, Joseph z. Scott, treated him to an
agreeable surprise. Baskets of provisions
were numerous, but what went to Joe's

few days, and it is currently rumOred that
the family contemplate living on cold vic

Heavy rains have visited the southern

of slight shower on Friday and misty
weather on Saturday, prevails up to the

Mr.. Harry Ruth is tho first to cut to

cut some of his crop raised on the farm Oi
Morris Cooper.
Mrs. William Starrctt planted out some
fair sized plants on July Both, and says
she will raise good tobacco yet. The pro

80! Long Nay It Wave.'
An Incident Connected With Our National
Song.

An Incident Connected With Our National
Song.
DEAR INTELLIGENCER 1t was q great
pleasure to me, as of course it was to hun
dreds of your other readers, to read MIR.
Henseps article on "The Star Span2led
Banner and its Author" which you re-
print. Tie reading of the article recalls
to nv mind an incident connected with
our national song that will never forget.
It was during the Centennial that was
iu Philadelphia and one evening attended
the opera at the Academy of Music. Dom
Pedro was there, too, but We were not in
company of each other. Misses Cary and
Kellogg were the principle singers, with
seyera! good male voices scattered through.
The singing, which was very fine, as a
matter Of course, was all done in German
and Italian, and in consequence the words
were all "Greek" to me-
But near the close of the entertainment
one of the singers, Cary or Kellogg q can't
remember which, as was mere boy"
then, and that's only been five years ago y,
came out, and in her beautiful voice with
clear cnuaciation of every syllable, and,
to me, faultless rendition of the whole,
sang the Star Spanglcd Banner. What a
thrill ran through that great house where
every seat was occupied How the people
held their breaths, motionless, enchanted
Every man, woman and child, born be-
meath that banner, would have volunteer
ed at that moment on 4 can to efend it.
And when she sang SO beautifully,
" And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph
shall wave
Ger the land OF the free ana the home of tho
brave
what an uproar, what an uprising, clappine
of hands. stamping of feet, exclamations Of
pleasure, aye! and not a few tears glisten
ing in the gaslight. That was the key to
bring the sound from the American heart
And could that other Key-could Francis
s. Key have heard it--how it would have
thrilled his poetic soul Methinks he had
been happy to die, like the swan, to the
cadence of his own music.
A stole was with me and even he gave
away and applaudel with i, will. l dOn't
remember, but l think waved my hat
we country folks are SO dcmonstrative
and open our mouths SO wide at theatres,
you know. l dare say the Academy OF
Music never heard more spontaneous,
genuine burst of feeling. DEUMOEE.

Spelling the Good Story.

When Malck ell Adib left the house o
his childhood that he might go west and
salt a mine and grow up with the country
after unloading upon some smart fellows
down in The provinces, his mother gave
him forty pieces OG silver and made him
promise never TO tell lie. &C., my son, y
she said, in voice husky with hairpins,
"go, We may never meet again, and if We
do will probably be married before you
come back, and it wouldn't be pleasant for
you to live at home and have to call some
square, headed old multi Pa"
The youth went, and the party he travel
ed with was assaulted by road agents, who
shot the driver, cut open the mail bags,
blew open the express box and went
through the passengers. When one of the
robbers asked the boy how much hc had
he replied with surprising candor
81 have ten dinars sewcd up in my gar
ments,"
The robber laughed hoarse cultural
laugh in the United States language and
passed on to an elderly man. thinking the
boy lied. Another robber asked the boy
the same question and receiving the same
answer, laughed as did his comrade.
Finally the chief called Malck to him and
asked what he had. The boy replied.
81 have already told two of your people
that l have ten dinars sewcd up in my
gray Clothes"
The chief ordered his clothes to be ripped
open and found the money.
And how" he asked, g came you to
tell this ?''
Because replied the boy, l." 1 would
not be false to my mother, whom SOL
emnly promised to never tell lie''
cav, cheese that" the rObber chief
replied, "that's too diaphanous, STRIPPING :;
it won't laundry. Stand him on his head,
fellows, and tap him for all he's wOrth.''
So the robbers stood Malek on his head,
and pounded the sOles Of his feet with the
bastinados until lie disgorged from vari-
GUS secret pockets, belts, double shoe
soles, and from the straw and cushions of
the coach, 125 dinars, gold watch, a lot
of Erie stock, seven railroad passes, some
promissOry notes, a new Derringer, photo

hardt, marked poker deck, a flask of Old
Cabinet whisky, some chewing tobacco, a
diamond pin and a blood stone ring, a
package of counterfeit los and a sluug
shot. They then cut off his neck and
tossed him over into the canyon.
That" said the rObbcr chief, rs he
pocketed the bulk of the swag, "will
teach him to keep his promise to his
mother the next time. Always play awful

TWENTY MILE RACE.

Hamilton, Ono, Aug, 20.-The
twenty nile race on the Fair Grounds
this afternoon. between Miss Helen
Balclay, OF England, anil Miss Ida
Wray, of Indiana, drew together n
respectable crowd, numbering nearly
one thousand people. Twenty horses
were to have been used, and tho ami
mails changed Mt every mile, but four
of the horses We're sick, and but six
teen were used. The race common.
ced at 4:08, Miss Barclay getting the
start and keeping ahead for the first
two miles. AT tho third mile Miss
Wray headed her opponent and kept
leaving her until at the sixth mile she
had made gain Of full half mile
This was caused by her quick chang
ing OF horses, Miss Wray losing scarce
ly any time in changing from one ami
NAL to the other. At the end of the S;l,
mile Miss Barclay cut the distance be-
tween them to quarter. The elc.
venth mile ended by both riders COM
lug IN together, but Miss Wray here
took tho amounting her horse muck
more quickly than Miss Barclay, thus
gaining on her, and she was left in the
rear. The distance was made up,
however, by fresh horse, and at the
fourteenth mile they came in at the
same time, while the one following
gave Miss Wray who this time rode a
fine bay mare, q length and half n,
head. The seventeenth & eighteenth
miles were taken by Miss Barclay,
while the nineteenth was won by Miss
Wray. The twentieth and last mile
was exciting, but was easily Won by
Miss Wray. Time for the twenty
miles fifty five minutes, averaging
two and quarter minutes to the mile,
counting changes. In order to give no
advantage Miss Wray rode the same
eight horses the second ten miles that
Miss Barclay did the first, and the lat
ter changed in like manner.
