Meeting of Col. Chas. T. OFFER
rail- and John FIaherty.

The Washington correspondent of
the Richmond State, under date Of
the 10th inst, says:
"A strange and almost romantic
meeting took place in the Metropoli-
tan Hotel last night. A gentleman
was sending up his card TO Judge
O'Ferrall when by-stander repeated
the name in a dazed sort of way, and
then said to the bell boy, Tell Char
ley O'Fcrall that John Flaherty also
wants to see him. Both were direct
cd to where Judge O'Ferrall was, and
proceeded to one of the upper halls.
There the first mentioned visitor, who
claimed precedence, was transacting
his business with Judge O'Ferrall,
when the stranger, who had been
gazing intcntly at the tall, gray-haired
figure of the Judge, suddenly rushed
forward and graspcd him by the hand.
Why, John!' why, CharlcyH
and the two men were locked in each
others arms, the stranger kissing his
newly-recovercd friend on the cheek.
A brief interchange of congratula-
tions and an appointment for an ex-
tended interview to-day followed. 1t
seems that Flaherty, then recent
University graduate, left this city for
Petersburg at the outbreak of the war,
and became a lieutenant of the regi-
ment of which Judge O'Ferrall was
colonel. They were close friends,
but had never met since until last
night. Flaherty has in the meantime
seen many vicissitudes of fortune.
he has been at sea for years and out
on the western frontier for long
time. He used to be a gay and hand
to be married to the lady who arter-
wards became the wife of John Rus
sell Young, now minister to China,
his marriage being postponed on ac-
count of the war, and finally the two
drifted apart"

RESULT OF AsAcnn1cIoUs FEAsr.-

RESULT OF A ASACRILIGIoUs FEAsT.-
Lcmuel Thomas, an old carpenter,
of Jenkinstown, Pa known for his
disregard of religion, presided on
Monday night at blasphemous feast.
The supper was given at hotel, and
Thomas opened it by n mock prayer,
which was received by his comrades
with the cracking of jokes and shouts
of laughter. After they had been
seated short time one of the men
said that the reunion, on account of
their being thirteen present, was
suggestive of the Last Supper. This
wasreccived with yells Of delight, and
Thomas presently proclaimed that he
was the Saviour, and charged one of
the roysterers with being Judas Is
cariot. 1t is claimed that he next
broke some bread in pieces and dis
tributed it, with glasses of beer,
among the guests in mockery of the
last sacrament. In the midst of this
sacriligious performance Thomas
suddenly paled, and, rising with
difficulty, said: 81 must vacate
the chair, boys. You must get
some other president. I'm going
home. He went to his bed, and died
of paralysis of the heart. The
twelve that Thomas left behind on the
dreadful night continued their orgies
until four O'Clock in the morning.

e just what any other woman would

"Just what any other woman would
have done, /" says some young reader,
with little air of surprise and dis
dain.
Exactly so, my dear. But then,
you see another woman might have
cried at the wrong time-before in
stead of after the event narrated in
my story and then Van Bibber would
never have been rescued, from his
deadlyperil, and the baby might never
have lived to be a grandfather and
have related the story as 1 have told
it to you.
And if you ever go there, they will
show you the jutting crag, which is
called Van Bibber's Rock to this day.

OF the old remembered years
Play again his mettS music,
Melting into sighs and tears :
True virginian of yirginians,
In the soil he loved the best,
After many years and sorrows

CROPPINGs.

Corn, oats and potatoes promise more than an ordinary crop, although it is doubtful If the last mentioned will be up to the yield of last year.
 The grass crop is a failure in this vi- cinity, although flattering reports are received from Vermont, New Hamp- shire and the West, as to the hay crop.
 Fruit will be very scarce, owing to the almost unprecedented freeze on the morning of May 30. There are no ap- pies, except upon orchards we'll protect ed from the wind and weather-such as Sidney W. Russell's, John Van Deusen's s and Robert Little's in Weatogue, and those belonging to farmers along the under mountain road" so called, in the town of Sheffield. In these places the trees are well loaded with fruit
 Cherries were a failure and the pear crop Is not very promising In the early part of June, grape vines looked as barren as in April, but many vines have leaved out and reset for the second time and promise a good crop.
 Quite a competition has sprung up 1T Canaan, between Canaan mountair and Mt Riga in the huckleberry trade Fine berries from both places were solt here lust week for 15 cents per quart.

Singing on the Way" A collection of hymns and tunes for Sunday schools, social worship and congregations by Mrs Belle M. Jewett, assisted by Dr J. P. Holbrook. Price 35 cents. Pub lished by Oliver Ditson X Co, Boston. Singing on the Way contains 175 songs or tunes. About 75 of these would be perfectly in place on the pages ofa high class choir book, and perhaps 50 have the measure of Gospel Songs" The young children, who are the only ones who like "ehildren's song," are we'll re- membered in 25 pieces, and thus the various wants of all ages are fully met. AS practical thing, it is not very con- venient to have Sunday school book and also a vestry,or social meeting sing ing book lying about the same settees. Singing on the Way answers all pur. poses, and thus one book may take the place of two.

The last year was an exceptionally disas- trous year to tobacco crops, and the losses were many and great, but they nave an been promptly paid.
 This only shows the importance ot insuring against these losses Many thought last year they would not insure, and would thus save the small premium, bat one day the hail came and beat upon the crop and they icst ten times the amount ofthe premium.
 At the last annual meeting it was voted to substitute for the premium notes a cash pre- mium of five per cent, the officers and mcm' bers or the company being satisfied that that will meet all contingencies, Anyone insuring therefore for the current year, wli only be required to pay n caslt premium of five per cent on the amount Of the insurance, which will cover all liability, there can be

 The Beers house has 34 guests with 16 more coming this week. Although not as full as last year, there is said to be much more life and enjoyment.

Beers and son, George, who were pres ent, report a very enjoyable time.
 While at Cornwall our attention was called to the new building now in pro- cess of erection, for the Housatonic Val ley institute. It is to be 3Ox40 feet; the first floor to be in one room and used for study; the second floor divided into recitation rooms, with gymnasium and work shop attached. O. D.

His funeral was largely at tended from the Congregational church at Cornwall, Professor Frost conduct ed the services. The interment was il the Cornwall Plains cemetery.
