Flying Yankee" Wednesday night. She
said she had walked nearly half the distance
between Augusta and the above State and
had come here to visit her son, Mr. Ed.
win Pierce whom she said resided three miles
ont of the city towards Manchester. She
gave her name as Elizabeth Pierce and assert
ed that she had done the spinning, weaving
and knitting in Abraham Lincoln's family be-
fore he even thought of being President. This
was five years bt fore the war. She appeared
old and decrepid, with wien countenance and
if her story be true she is as years OF
age. Coming up on the train she was
discovered by the conductors who took
her into the restaurant at Brunswick and
gave her the best meal she had partsken OF
for months. rs she expressed it. After leav-
ing Brunswick a collection of Sc SO was
raised on the train for the old lady. Much credit
is due Conductor Haley for his charitable act.
She was given a nights lodging at the Cony
House and WAS given one Of the
best beds in the house. She exhibited
sample of her knitting, which was pro
nounced by the ladies to be exceptionally
hne. Yesterday morning the wsnderer. tax
ing her basket on her arm trudged off to
wards Manchester.

a light burning on a stand by the bed. AT
the hour above stated she awoke TO find the
bed and her own night clothing in flames
Hastily arising, she managed to extinguish
the fire on her own person and, pro-
eeeding down stairs almost speechless
with fright, she gave the alarm. Mr..
Bigelow rushed to the room, found it in

energetic action was needed. Mr.. Bigelow
was equal to the occasion. He hurried back
to the lower story procured a pail and rapidly
carried pailfull after paifull of water to the
room, deluging the fire with water, and finally
after carrying some 25 psilfalls succeeded
IN subduing the flames. 1t was q
narrow escape from a serious confagration,
The bed was almost entirely consumed and
the room was badly charred. The loss was
about $500. The hired girl was severely

Domestic Economy.

Gallatin Tennessean.
Now that the farmers of our state
and county are carefully at work in an
effort to establish better and more
profitable system Of agriculture and
farm economies, we should be very
glad to see the mothers, wives and
daughters of our state and particular
ly of Sumner county move up in line
with their department. In all the
towns and thickly settled communities
organizations should be formed for the
study of all the better ways in domes.
tic economy, and in household matters.
There would be no lack OF subjects to
claim consideration. Economy In fuel,
lights, the kitchen, laundry, smoke.
house, pantry, dairy, poultry-yard.
The care of furniture, beds and beding,
and preparation and preservation of
fruits, meats, vegetables, herbs and
seeds-a number of other subjects not
less important would be suggested.
Every member of such an organization
would find that there was better way
to be learned in regard to almost every
subject. Our young women might
learn many important lessons which
they might find very useful in the
"sweet by-and-by." Each one might
secure a well bound blank book in
which they might copy valuable re
ceipts, and make a note of such facts
as they might deem important.
In a social point of view such an
association would be productive of
much good. Our mothers and daught.
ers would be brought together under
circumstances very favorable to the
cultivation of all the better feelings of
their natures. Warm sympathies and
strong friendships would be formed.
Each would be made stronger in the
confidence of the other, and all would
be made more happy.
We are very slightly acquainted
with the people of Gallatin, yet we
think we know at least three ladies
there land there are, no doubt many
more) who, if they would come out
from their seclusion and take an inter.
est in this matter, might add much to
their usefulness and to the usefulness
and happiness of Others. Let your
light shine. j. II. P.
