We were shown, at Mr.. W. G. McCaus-
lands . few days ago, a wooden bed quilt
woven In Wales over two hundred years sgo,
BY the mother Of the late Governor Shelby Of
Kentucky The quilt Is of a very tasty pat
tern, white and blue, and is In 3 good state Of
preservation. 1t 10 now the property of Mr.
Evan Young, of this city, whose mother, 9
Shelby, was 9 great-grand child of Gov.
Shelby. One is astonished on seeing the old
heirloom at the good quality and taste dis
played in the manufacture of the quilt &C
many years ago, In a country which mos,
people are disp osed to regard as rud in the
arts of life.

of ammunition and 81 20 worth Of time

is so tired and lame he can't sleep at nights
and hasn't bagged q crow yet. The boys ART

pasture. Instead Of two crows the Cleveland
man may there find two millions, more O.
less, and kill enough to give every Balm
man In Connecticut his fill. We believe tina
Mr.. Lee will be liberal, and rather than hsv
Q Blaine man do without his crow, that b
will throw his pasture open to the gunns
free.
