In late issue of the STAUNToN SPEC-
TAToR, it speaks of Abel P Upshur, as
a member of Harrison's cabinet in l84l
He was not member of Harrison's cabs
met. but was of Tyler's. He succeeded
Geo E Badger, of North Carolina as
Secretary OF the Navy, Sept. 18th, 1S41
and succeeded Fl. L. Legare of South
Carolina as Secretary of State July Oath,
1S43. Early in 1874. he and T. w Gil.
mer, of Virginia, then Secretary of the
Navy, were killed by the explosion of
the gun, called the Peace Maker, on
hoard the war steamer, Princeton, the
flag ship of Com. Robt. F. Stockton
1t is proper perhaps to state here, that
when Tyler became President, he made
no cabinet changes. Upon the heels OF
his vetoing the U. s Bank Bill, every
member of his cabinet except Webster,
Secretary of State, resigned, and then
Mr.. Upshur became Secretary of the
Navy. On the 18th of June. 1S43, the
completion OF the Bunker Hill monu-
ment was celebrated President Tyler
and John G Spencer, Secretary of War,
and Hugh S Legare, Secretary of State,
attended that celebration. Some three
or four days later, Legare died in Bos
ton of cholera morbus. and soon after,
Upshur was transferred from the Navy
Department to that Of State. He con
tinued in that position until his tragic
death as above stated. Nelson Co. Ey

Mr.. EDITOR A short stroll in this spot as
signed to the dead, a few days since, suggested
this article
On September 18th, 1850. at meeting of sub
scribers and others to this cemetery, Rev. B..
VI. Smith, then Pastor of the Presbyterian
church here, took the chair. Those present
were A. H. H. Stuart, G. M. Cochran, ST., VIM.
Kyle, VIM. Kinney, Judson Mccoy, JEFF Kin
eey, Benz. Crawford, N. K. Trout, Rev. R. 81.
Phillips, w. n. Hartman, w. W. Donaghe, II.
John Crawford, and A. D. Trotter. OF these.
1 Ill sleep there but the Chairman and Messrs.
stuart, Cochran, Phillips, and Trotter. This
was 80 years ago last September, about the life
of generation. The Company accepted the
charter granted February Path, lS49, by the Leg
islature. The 10th and 18th sections are hard
IN body-snatchers.
On June End, 1851, Patrick Mcnamara was
elected Superintendent at an annual salary of
$3.50, paid quarterly. He is there to-day, and
has been, through sunshine and storm, always
place. He is a native of county Roscom-
mon, Ireland, and like so many of our good
Irish people, his heart has ever been in the
right place.
His wife was born in Chester county, Pa.
On May 14th, 1851, the first sepulture was
made in the enclosure, in the person OF Mrs.
Brown, who was the owner of the W. W. Dom
agile farm. His remains, that had been de-
posted october Goth. 1926, his farm, near the
Churchville road, rest now by her.
In November or December, 1854, one Shiflett
md Sullivan deserted from the Confederate
army, and were arrested in Shifett's Hollow as
highway robbers, incarcerated in an old log
house. now having its place covered by new
building next to Wilkes (old Fackler). A
court-martial sentenced them to be shot. Gen.
Early approved. Rev. Mr.. Baird, of the then
Methodist school, and Rev. Mr.. prayed
with them at the old log-jail. and accompanied
them to the place of execution in this ceme-
terry just over the hill, in deep ravine not far
from the soldiers plat. Seated on their collins,
after these men OF God prayed with and for
Them eyes unbandaged, they were snot by a
file of ten soldiers under Capt. Avis, of the
Provost guard. A young McGufin, Stuart by
name, is the only one remembered. and his
death, some one reminds me. was accidental,
caused by gun.
December 10Th, 1874, Maj. H. NJ Bell was put
on the Board, in the vacancy, caused by Col.
Baldwin's death.
so filled the original purchase as to render a
purchase of 20 acres more necessary. A gen.
Grafton passes off the stage in SO years, as we
believe. 1t is said much larger number now
l sleep there than makes the present population
of Staunton. We believe we are correct also
| in the statement that the death-rate of the ne
gro population is ten to fifteen greater than as
slaves. OLD MORTALITY.

What Gen. Lee Said.

The armory of the Thirteenth Regi-
ment, Brooklyn, n. Y, was crowded
with visitors Wednesday evening 10
witness the review and dress parade OF
the regiment by Gen FitZhugh Lee, OF
Virginia, accompanied by several IF his
staff. The uniforms of the Virginia of
ficers were gray. Gen. Lee wore gen
erals chSpeau and the yellow sash of
his rank. The yellow gauntlets worn
by him had been worn by his uncle,
Gen. Robert E. Lee, on many occasions,
among others at AppomattOx The
name ''Robt. E Lee" had been written
on the inside cuffs by the General him
self, and after his death were sent to
Gen. Fit9hugh Lee. As the regiment
passed in review the band playeG ''OaF
ry Me Back to Old Virginia Shore" and
when Gen. Lee uncovered to the flag
the applause was deafening. Then fol-
lowed dress parade. after which Gen
Lee made brief address He alluded
to having met them at Yorktown, not
when Gen. Washington was there, but
at the centennial of that occasion, when
the dust was thicker there than any
where else, and he, for one, was perfect
ly willing to surrender to any one. --
Gen. Lee said he was glad to meet the
regiment again. It was an era of good
feeling and one that he hoped would be
perpetuated. He was at West Point
when the war broke out, hut he had
been educated in a different faith, and
when Virginia demanded his poor
sword and service he threw bis lot in
with his State. When the sun went
down behind the hills at Appomattox
he recognized the fact that the war was
over and realized the fact that he was a
citizen of the United States and equally
interested ip its glory and past history.
Virginia vies with New York in her
devotion now, and all efforts are blend.
ed to- preserve and enhance the glory
and welfare of this great country. Gen.
Lee was frequently interrupted during
his speech by applause, and at its
close the applause was prolonged
Three cheers were given for Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee, and the regiment was then
dismissed.-BdN. Sur.

THE GROUND HOG The Hagerstown
Globe says 1.-The fallacy of the super
stition that the ground hog looks for his
shadow annually on Ember Day, and
that upon his looking depends the state
of the weather, was proven on Friday
last by a curious resident of Chewsville,
who secured aspecimen hog early in the
season and kept him boxed up for the
occasion. Instead of taking up his body
and hunting his shadow on that day,
his hogship continued to sleep as if he
had properly paid for his bed. Persua-
sion and poking with stick failed to
arouse him."
That any man of intelligence should
have faith in this senseless superstition
is, to say the least, very surprising.
Last year on the 2nd of Feb the sun
shone brightly, aud by the sign, the
ground hog retired to his burrow to re.
main six weeks.
On the next day our old friend, John
Lipps, of Lewisburg, w. Va, went out
into the fields and shot a ground hog
which was basking in the sun, thus
showing that there was no truth in the
sign. The truth is, that the ground
hog, Vennor, and Tice are humbugs.

ROBERT COYNER,
Oak Hill Dairyman.

We are indebted to Hon. ]. Randolph Tucker
for pamphlet copy of his speech on the tariff
in the House of Representatives on Friday,
January 28th, 1888. We received it too late to
read before going to press, but We have no
doubt that it is good speech, as he never
makes any other kind, especially upon the
tariff question.
