The circumstances as related by the captain
OF small vessel which arr ived at this port
Va, are as follows:
Last Saturday at late hour Dr. TAYLOR
passed the house of an acquaintance in that
county, near Burgess store, who accosted him
and extended an invitation to the doctor to
spend the night at his house. He declined,
however. saying that he intended stopping 81
the residence of a friend DR.. J. w. Tankard q
few miles further on, and proceeded on his
way. The next morning Sunday, as the gen
him was proceeding to church. he was HORNED
short distance from his house, with his horse
and carriage standing near by.
Tue supposition is that Dr.. Taylor was thrown

pected that the remains will reach Baltimore
this afternoon or tomorrow morning.
DR.. Taylor was native of Northampton
county. Va, where he practiced his profession
until the breaking out of the war, when he en-
tered the Confederate army and served until the
close. After the war closed he came to Belsi-
more and engaged with MessrE. Candy, Gilpin
Co. as travelling salesman, with whom he has
| remained ever since.
He was gentleman of great intelligence, OF
pleasing address and very polished manners.
He was much valued by the firm by which he
was employed as a salesman OF rare ability,
and he enjoyed large circle of aquaintances,
both in this city and throughout Virginia.
DIR. Taylor was in the 5iss year of his age, and
leaves wife and two children, both young lie
resides at No $50 North Carey street.

IA MARROW GAUGE"-The Lynchburg Id
pance copied our notice of Rev. w. E. Bakers
sermon on the text-"Thou shalt not steal'-
and put at the head of it, IA narrow gauge
and made few comments in disapproval OF
the Views he expressed. and seemed to think
that the minister was travelling ON "a narrow
gauge road. We would respectfully suggest
to our able contemporary that in spiritual mat
ters, we think that,-as "n0rrow Is the way that
leadeth to life everlasting" and broad Is the
way that leadth to destruction, lit Is better to
travel on the narrow gauge than the broad
gauge line-the narrow gauge having for Its
destination the celestial city," the broad
gauge, the "city Of destruction" ~ % sSFs
what does our "broad- gauge" brother think
OF the minister's views on novels and theatres,

II mankind; but what is life worth, when
health has flown forever. To suffer with dis
ease, to lie upon a STICK bed. to bear endless
pains, to endure the tortures of fever, are in
the nselves worse than death; for it mas been
appointed unto man once to die. If people
could be induced to attack all diseases on their
first appearance and to ply them re. ularly I'LL

would be robbed of many of its victims. and

Last Thursday at noon, If the traditions OF
the past are true, the woodchuck. the ground
hog. or the bear, just as you please, came out
OF the hole in which he had been spending the
Winter. and took his bearings. The legend
ssys that If he sees his shadow on the snow ne
will 60 back. and curl up for six weeks more OF
cold weather; but If he sees no shadow he will
not 60 back, for he will know that there Will
be little more cold weather this year. Just
why these beasts choose this day-Candlemas
day-for this purpose is not known. but to say
that they do not go through this performance
would be flying in the face of very old tradl-
ton, which has been preserved in the following
form:-
"Yf ye wuddy-chukke seez hys shaddo inn We
sunne
Six wokes of wynterre shall have begunne.
"Yf ye wuddy.chukke hys shaddo doe mott see
Six wokes Of sprynge-like weather thayr shall
be-" - ID "a er.3
The tradition has also come down to us in
solid prose, thus y
"If ye ground hog cometh out of his habita.
ton In ye ground. and seeth us shaooW Dy
light of We sun. it will return to its habltatlon
and We weather will be cold and stormy for ye
next six weeks; but If We little animal seetn
not Its reflection or shadow, IT Will return 10
its winter quarters no more and fine weather
Will be We consequence"
This is the day when thsfarmer calls to mind
the couplet:-
"Candlemas day, .-
Half your corn and half your hay
he will also remember the adage, las far as
the sun shines in the barn-door SO far will the
snow blow in" If he is of Scotch origin, the
day Will call up the old rhyme:
p "If Candlemas day be dry and fair.
The half o. winters to come and mair;
If Candlemas day be wet and foul.
The half o. winters game at Yule." !. E
