OhiO's Oldest HAN.
Batavia CO., Letter I


A colored man has been discovered at
Happy Hollow" this county, who shows
incontrovertible evidence of being the
Oldest man in the country. His name is
John Long and he was born in Williams
burgh, Virginia, in 1855, and is therefore
1913 years old. Strange to relate the patri-
arch is in the possession OF all his faculties
and seems no older than men half centu-
ry his junior. He relates with pride what
his mother afterwards told him about see
ing Braddock's expedition set out from
that point when he was little shaver of
two months old. When q young man he
served three years in the revolutionary war
as body servant to his master, Captain
Peyton, brilliant officer under Washing
ton. This antique parsonage is we'll cared
for by the colored people of " Happy Hol-
low" as is held by them in almost idola-
trous veneration.
Father Long is full of "reminiscences of
Old Virginia events and memories, and
loves to dwell on the capture and surren-
der of Lord CORVALLIS, which he witnessed.
His active mind reverts back to the old
French and Indian war, and one of his
pleasant talks was about the Burr trial,
which he attended at Richmond. He is a
full fledged Democrat and hopes to vote at
the next presidential election for General
Hancock, whom he regards since the time
of his old commander Washingto as the
greatest man of the world.

A Bad Priest sent to Jail.


GNew York Special: A slender and pre-.
possessing girl eighteen years old stood be-
fore the clerks desk in Justice Nacher's
court in Williamsburg Friday, and stall
wart young man stood beside her.
"This sirl,' said the young man, sis my
wi*e's sister. She has suffered outrageous
treatment at tle hands of the Rev. Florence
Mccarthy, priest of the church to whicn
belong, and she wishes to prefer charge
against him.
The Girl said in her complaint that soon
after she entered Father McCarthy's service
he committed an assault upon her. IN othing
improper occurred between them after that
till last Friday, when she went to Father Nc
Carthy's house and the priest made an in.
sulting proposition to her. She resented it,
but Father Mccarthy, she alleges, after a
long struggle, assaulted her and afterward
locked her il room. Thegirl swore that
she threatened to expose the priest, AMI
that he replied, "You had better not; YOU
will bring more trouble upon yourself than
you canlbring;upon me-" The.girl also alleges
that Father Mccarthy attempted to assault
her last Monday. She told her story to
Bishop Laughlin, and the latter remarking
that there had been too many complaints
of the kind against Father Mccarthy and
said that he would suspend him. The
priest was sent to Jail and subsequently, ad-
Initted to bail.

GENERAL NEWS NOTES.

An unpleasant scandal has become pub.
lie at Racine, Wis, the outgrowth of the
alleged relations existing between G. W.
Forrest, the agent of the American Express
company, and very pretty widow, finally
resulting in the forced resignation of the
farlaer. The subject has created quite q
sensation, as Mr.. Forrest has been agent
for the company over eighteen years, and
all parties moved in good society.
Last Saturday the legatees under Amasa
Stones will were paid. The legatees found
that one or two of Mr.. Stones relatives, and
ones to whom he was especially partial, had
been forgotten in his will. A meeting was
called, the matter talked over, and it was
finally agreed that every one should set
aside some portion of his or her bequest and
thus make up an equal amount for those
not provided for.
The value of exports of provieions, tallow
and dairy products for May was $2s5, AIS;

The Evening Drill at West Poin,

Lessons of the Iowa lynchine.

Gov. Sherman of Iowa was asked what
action he state authorities would take in
the Barber lynching matter. He replied,
that the only possible action that could be
taken would be to follow that Of Gov. Crit
tenden of Missouri, who had recently sent a
circular to the variousjudges advising them
to enfo: ce the laws more rigidly and thus
avoid giving the people cause for taking
the law in their own hands, but the governor
thought some of the district judges might
regard such an utterance from the execu.
tive office as an impertlnence. and as a
seeming encroachment on their authority
and dignity. The judges have the statute
TO govern them, and they should enforce it.
Regarding the Barber brothers, the gov
ernor said that there was no doubt that
their lives could have been saved, and
