There is now living in the little Will
age Of Bakersville, in Coshocton county.
Ohio, lady whose age dates back Of
the Declaration Of Independence by at
least one year, and probably more: Her
name is Catharine Albert Mrs. Al
bert's maiden name was Cutshell, and
she was born in Reading. Pa, in IT'S,
although the month is not exactly
known, as the old German family Bible.
in which the records we're kept, was lost
when the family removed to Ohio. She
had seven brothers and three sisters,
and, although not the youngest, she is
the only one surviving in this family of
eleven children. When 25 years old
Catharine was married to John Albert.
four years her Junior, by whom she had
eleven children. Her husband died in
1861 at the age Of 80. Mrs. Albert's
oldest child is about 50 years old. Her
hair is as white as the driven snow, and
her face considerably wrinkled. She is
totally blind, can hear very little. and
has almost lost her speech, rs she cam
not be understood by any one except
her daughter Elizabeth and her grand
daughter Fanny, who arc her constant
attendants. Up to about one year ago
she always enjoyed good health, and
just before she took ~ her bed sha
dried, without assistance, five bushels
of apples. Since that time she kept her
bed, and her only food il pap prepared
from milk. She is probably the Oldest
woman in Ohio, if not in the country,
being lot years of age.

Last NIxvat On Earth,


The last night Of the prisoners life was not
marked by many features Of special interest.
During the first half of the night, or until /
o'clock Friday morning, Guiteau was greatly
disturbed by the insane cries OF . colored
crank who had been convicted Of larceny, and
by mistake had been sentenced to the Jail in
stead OF the asylum. Her demoniacal yclls
rang through the jail, serving to keep Guiteau
awake nearly the entire night. He
was very restless and slept but
little. Rev. DR.. Hicks. his spiritual
adviser, was with him from IL o'clock to mid
night. At that time he reported that the pris-
oner had had no sleep, and that he was peoy-
ish and fretful. At about 1 o'clock in the
morning the crazy woman subsidized through
sheer exhaustion. Gultsau WAS then able to
sleep little. DR.. Hicks paid visit TO the cell,
but found that the prisoner had fallen asleep,
and he was not disturbed. Guitcau kept the
cell darkened 30 az to keep the flies from botE-
ering him. Shortly after he awuke and WAS
visited by Deputy Warden Ross and DIR.
McWilliams They found that his short nap
had made him Differentiated and more tract
able. He bade Dr. McWilliams good-by, aud
thanked him for al his kindness, aud after they
left he again dropped asleep, and did not awake
until about 6 O'Clock, when he began to get
hungry and called for his breakfast. He or
dered the various dishes OF which be Is 30 fond
-an omelette, slices OF toast, beefsteak, fried
potatoes and coffee He also gave directions
that his dinner should be ready for him
promptly at IL O'Clock, evidently determined
not TO be started on his long journey an an
empty stomach.

correspondent of the Cincinnati ERQutrer
sends to that paper from Georgetown, Brown
county, Ohio, Jan. 2ist, the following details
OF bold robbery of farm house near the lat
ter place;
Last night, shortly after o'clock, the FAM.
ly, consisting OF Mr. Hitler and wife, grown
son, grown daughter and "a grandson about
ID years of age, were grouped about the old
fashioned fireplace popping corn. They heard
the door open, but, thinking that some relative
had entered, did not look up for moment;
but when they did raise their eyes they were
confronted by four men, each of whom held IN
his hand a cooked revolver. The leader of the
gang ordered the family not u resist on pain
of death. Mr.. Hier did not heed the admonl
ton, but attempted to get on his feet He was
forced back into the chair, and again essayed
to rise, when one of the robbers struck him ON
the left temple with the flat side of Ratchet
The blow rendered the old man insenslble for
a time, and he was placed upon the bed and
secured hand and foot A bed was empted
and the tick torn INTO strips, and with these
the other members of the family were securely
bound to chairs IN different portions of the
room.
This task completed, the leader of the gang
informed the terrified family that they wanted
money they knew was in the house, and with
out asking any questions went directly into u
small bedroom to the left of the room they
were then in, and began their search This
contained no furniture save a bed and one or
two chairs. Under the bed was walnut chest
or box securely fastened with paddock The
paddock was knocked oil, and the contents of
the box rified. In IL was u TN box of large
dimensions also locked with a paddock and In
this box was the treasure they sought. The
box was opened, and the contents, amounting
TO over $500. taken. This money was in
greenbacks, gold, and one United States $50
bond, with all the coupons attached, s., 600 in
greenbacks, and $l,0l6 in gold. There was
So gold piece, which was overlooked in the
confusion, which is all of the boarded wealth
the old man was left to enjoy. There was one
$500 greenback, nine 500 bills, and the re.
mainder of the notes were In IS and $40. The

WHY THE "PARsoN" LEFT.-A good many
years ago when a certain place in Texas was a
very small town quite a number OF prominent
citizens went out on hunting expedition.
One night when they were all gathered around
the camp fire one of the party suggested that
each man should give the time and reason for
his leaving his native state and coming to
experience. Judge Blank had Killed Il man in
scli-defence, and Ark ansaw, General Soandso
had forged another mans signature to check,
while another came to Texas on account of his
having two wives The only man who did
not make any disclosure was a sanctimonlous.

Deep silence fell on the group. No such
excuse for coming to Texas ever had been
heard of before There was evidently an un.
explained mystery at the bottom of it. The
"ParsOn' was called on to furnish more light.

A Stakeholder Shot

Last Sunday night about 12 o'clock man
calling himself III. A. Little, who had been a
guest for several days at the st, George Hotel
In Dallas, Texas, went into the office when no.
body was present excepting Ford Parker, the
night clerk, and colored waiter. Stepping
up to the counter Little handed Parker a par.
Gel, and asked him to put it in the safe Par
ker turned toward the safe, when Little sprang
at him with II drawn revolver and ordered
him to throw up his hands and keep still He
then attempted to rob the safe, but Parker
rushed on HIM, w:enched the pistol from his
hand, fired, and sent a ball clear though Lit
ties body, intlictlng II mortal wound.
The man lived until O'Clock next day, but
that his name Little was assumed, he refused
to reveal his real name or where he was from,
though a day or two before he had said his
father lived at Llndsbergh, Mcpherson coun-
ty, Kansas. He was % years old, appeared to
be well educated, wrote a large, beautiful
hand, and his conversation showed him to have
been well raised. The envelope package he
gave Parker, the night clerk, contained only a
newspaper, which he used as ruse to get the
man TO open the safe. Before he died de sent
for Parker and Mr.. Mcleod, proprietor of the
hotel, asked their pardon, said he intended to
rob the safe, and that Parker did right in shoot
ing HIM. Thirty.one dollars and twenty-five
cents were found on his person, also IA picture
OF himself and beautiful young lady taken
together. There was not word oi printing
or writing on the card TO show whom the por.
traits represented or where they were taken
