Some Rais.-Mr. James Cook, who
lives near ShepherGstown, has been an
noyed greatly by rats killing his young
chickens and other fowls this spring. The
"varmints" seemed to have their head
quarters under a large pile Of straw, so
last week Mr.. Cook concluded to move it
and make war upon the rats. This was
Gone, and the place was found to be liter
conditions, some of them being Of an im-
mense size. Dogs were let loose, and in
a short time seventy-four dead rats were
laid out. There is no telling how many
would have been killed if it had been 4
real good day for rats.

Last Saturday afternoon an eastward
bound fast stock train ran into the rear
end of "piek-up" freight train at Kel-
ler's switch, on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, near Buckeystown, Md. The
engine, caboosc and number OF stock
train cars were almost completely demol-
ished, and between % and so hogs and
some cattle were killed. The wreck, which
was piled up into an immense mass, after
ward took fire, and most Of it was con-
sumel. The engineer, David Drenner,
and fireman, f. w. Boyer, escaped injury
by jumping from the train in time. The
"pick-up" train, it seems, was engaged
in switching, and proper precautions
against approaching trains were not, it is
said, provided.

Remarkable Longevity Of the
Wen who Tried and Convicted


HIen who Tried and Convicted
John lsrOwn.-A correspondent Of the
New York World writes from Duff
fields, w. Va: At the time Of the
death of John Browns jailer, Cap
tain John Avis, of Charlestown, w.
Va, sketches of his life appeared in sew
eral of orr public journals, stating also
that but one of the jurymen Of that cele-
bratcd trial was still living. The writer,
satisfied that such was not the case, began
an investigation, and finds that seven out
of the twelve are yet living and pursuing
.heir usual avOcations in their native
county. The foreman Of the jury, John
G. Wiltshire, Esq, was a farmer, who
personally managed his fine estate until
his death ut the age of sixty-eight. He
left two sons, upright citizens Of the COM
munity, one serving several terms as dep
uty sheriff. of the county. Isaac Dust, the
oldest member, is still living retired life
on his land at the age of eighty-scven.
His life was in jeopardy several times dur
ing the late war. 4 Federal soldier, de-
string distinction, placed his revolver to
the old mans breast and fired. His daugh-
ter knocked the muzzlc of the weapon to
one side and thus saved his life. George
w. Boyer is 4 wagon-maker, still living
and working at his trade ut the age of
siXty-two. lie is 4 great Meth odist and
in, l.. &.
farmer, still living at the age of sixty
seven. He is an elder in the Presbyterian
Church, and one of the staid men of the
community. Thomas Osborne, also 4 far
mcr, having put his name to the oblga-
tons of friend, lost his farm and is now
living with his son Mt an advanced age.
William Rightstine, merchant tailor, is
still in his native town in the county. He
is over seventy. Richard Timbcrlakc and
John c. Mcclure, farmers, are still living
and following their occupation in the
county. Thomas Watson, Jr., George w.
Tabb, farmers, and Joseph Myers and
William y. Martin, carriage-makers, are
dead. Yet all lived to ripe old ages, en-
joying the respect and esteem of their fell
low-citizens. From the foregoing it will
be seen that the average age Of this ccle-
bratcd jury was not far from seventy
years.
John Browns scaffold has been lately
taken down from porch, into which it
was built after the execution, and cut up
into relies for sale. General Robert Pat
tcrson's army carried away in 1861 large
locust tree on which they believed John
Brown was hung, but tile whereabouts of
the scafrold was kept a secret till the close
of the war.
