Singular Coincidence.

Quite sensation was created 10 the Gal
weston Recorders Court by notorious coll
orei chicken-thief accusing his Honor, by
implication at least, Of being with him in
stealing chickens. The charge is not re-
gardeA as reliable by the friends Of the off,
cial.
On jim Webster being brought up, tha
Recorder asked him
'Ifyou did not intend TO stealtaosech chick
ems, what was your motive in taxing them?"
"Jedge, has been up here before you 80
often that has come to lub and respec' you,
and now, ledge, intended to make you u

Policeman, what did this man say when he
was arrcsted?'

caught him he told me that he had a part
ner, bat did no; know who it WAS II; the

His Honor fined the policeman for con-
tempt, and had Jim Webster locked up FOR
ninety days Gqireat5n News.

In private letter to the editor Of the
Tines, Rev. Thos. VI. Antrim, of Philadel-
phia, narrates the following interesting incl
dent Of MS war experience in our Valley,
which We take the liberty of laying before
our readers:
a. was passing through Charlestown one
Saturday evening with a squad Of soldiers.
4 heavy storm ompelled me 20 halt and
take possession Of barn for shelter. Ater
seeing my men comfortable, | went up TO
the house; lady and her daughter were
on the porch. | asked the lady ifshe would
accumulate me for the night. After some
hesitation she concluded 10 grant MY request.
The daughter pretty, bright girl Of Is
or 20-took my rifle 20 stand il in the cor
ner ofthe room. She took the gun so un-
corcerncdly, that / asked her il she was
no, afraid of it, She answered. 20, no" /
then asked her if she could FIRE it of,
She said Yes" Then slid |;
II dare you TO fire it"
She turned and looked at ne; her eyes
flashed, as she answered
." Dared Dared ard by a Yankeel |
will rever be dared by Yankee"
As she said it she raised the gun 10 ber
shoulder and fred with As steady hand as
/ could myself
They entertained me very kindly. The
lady's two sons were with Gen. Lee They
had 50 much confidence in me that th'y
showed me large and handsome Coofedcr-
ate flag they had made for their brothers
regiment next time they cSmethraugh there.
They had hidden it under the sofa
cushion. Of course, ] kept their secret, and
cautioned them to be careful. The next
dag when near Winchester began % fe,l
hungry and put my hand in my havcrsack
to get hard lack and instead, brought
out delicious sandwich. They had omphed
nc havcrsack and filed it with excellent
light BISCUIT, Sc | offered some to the
men, but they refused them, afraid they
might be poisoned; so had them to my
self and was greatly refreshed.
If could only recall their name, would
long ago have written to thank them for
their kindness to Yankee"

The republican brethren who fought the
University so bitterly have subsidized since
the appearance of Hon. VIM. l.. Wilson's

IS the Asylum, and that don't promise 4
much better result than the var on the
