 L. w. aud4A. w.. Boynton were engaged in manufacturing hat bodies. Coventry was then largely engaged in mannfactur- ing cheap wool hat for the slave trade, plug hats, so called, at that time. The old Washington mill was then standing, aud Deacon John Winchester was agent. Sat- inettes were woven at that time, goods that were cotton warp and good all wool filling. They were quite popular and servicable tail the era of fiocks and shoddy came in. The goose was then killed. M
 The old mill was burned, then enlarged and built up, running on fine goods, under different managements-Geor w. Ca prom n-Mr. Chapin, now of Rockville. The mill finally passed into the hands of Wm. W. Huntington, a native of Coventry, but at that time largely engaged in the com mission trade in New York. Mr. I4athrop who married 8 daughter of the late John Fuller of your town, was associated with him, and agent of the mill. The goods were first class. and the mill gave employ ment to large number. The mill has since burned, and the ruins only remain to remind the citizens of former times.
 should have mentioned the old warp mill, which came next after Boynton's. and below the grist mill. This mill furnished many beams of warp for mills in this see tion, as most woolen mills were of this class of goods; at this date. This was burned also. and is- of the past. More anon. nc

A Good Man Ami,ted.

John Duffy, well-known citizen of
Locust Gap, Pa, was a cheerful, happy
man when this week began. To-day
John Duffy is man of sorrows and not
unacquainted with grief John Duffy
was well-to-do man, with q snug little
capital on hand whom he arose from the
slumbers of the just Oh Wednesday morn
ing; but when darkness had fallen from
the wings of night his capital was gone,
he knew not where, and q rooted sorrow
possessed his soul.
There is lesson in tho case of Duffy
lesson SO plain shat he who runs may
read--indeed, a man on crutches or n BIZ
cycle might absorb it--and for this reason
we will his most pathetic tale deliver.
Years ago when Duffy WAS younger and
his heart stoutsr he had Amassed wealth
to the extent Of good many thousand
dollars, and it was dear to him. He had
toiled and planned and perspired to get
his snug pile together, and he had right
to love every dollar Of 1t. But there
came, alas fatal day to John Duffy
when he, like Saxes hero, old John Nc
Bride, became tho unresistinR prey OF
fortunes undertakers." Duffy, had his
wealth stored In Jacob Huntzeger's bank,
of Pottsville, and Jacob Huntzeger's bank
went down, falling, like Cardinal Wolsey,
never to rise again" There was not a
cent on dollar left for the depositori.
John Duffy was ruined man.
IL was in that hour Of sfiiiction thai
John Du fly made his great mistake. BY
an error, common to persons Of limited
reasoning powers, he made tho exception
the rule. One bank having proven to be
bad all must be bad. And then John
Duffy registered q vow, q solemn vow,
that he would never again put cent in
anybody's bank. He kept that vow, and
that is why he is in grief to-day.
Substituting stocking for a bank
vault after the great disaster, Duffy took
up the burden OF life again aud began to
gather lucre. He Was successful. The
original stocking waa full, aud another
had been partly filled. 10 increase his
general safety, by getting Providence on
his side, he became religious aud went
regularly to church. IL was during hiS

Those who suppose that thoro Is danger
to the Republican party in Virginia from
any apparent discord among its leaders
fairs. That there is something like n
revolt against personal government in
the party is undoubtedly true, aud no
sign is more hopeful. 1t furnishes evil
dcnce that the party has grown too big
for that sort Of leadership, and is com
posed now OF material too valuable, too
self.reliant, too important, independent,
and intelligent for such management. The
formative stage has passed, aud Con.
Malone is too sagacious man not to
understand that tho methods once eI-
cusable, perhaps under tho circumstances
situation. Tho Republican party of Vir-
ginis will have formidable accession
from the bourbon ranks.
1t is coming to be understood that tn e
President is essentially New Yorker, and
has that lack Of profound respect for tho
riers Of tho south which all northern
Democrats possess The south is good
enough TO give votes to elect New York
ers to the presidency, but that is all.
The first of President Clovelsnds APP
pointments ignored, in tho coolest man
ner, the wishes of the Virginia delega-
tion, and filed an important federal Of
fee in Virginia--essentislly a local Office
at the request Of New York preacher I!
Of course bourbonism is ION Its ear"
Tho Same contempt of the south and
neglect of its claims will, 1t is believed,
continually appear as the plums of the
administration will be refused to the
states that have always borne the brunt
Of Democratic fighting and lavishly
given in those which are reliably Repub-
lican. OF course this will naturally work
wrathful discomfort among the leaders,
aud it Is already beginning to crop out
in the press all over the state.
Now is the Republican opportunity.
The policy of our party is plain. Con.
centrate strength on Virginia this fall
and win it, aud the wedge will thus and
then enter which will rive the solid
south from end to end. A stupid terror
OF Republicsnism is all that has ever KEEP
the south solid. When it Is seon that tn,
National Democracy has even less regard
for the south than tho Republican party
the knell Of the Nationsl Democracy has
already rung.

A circular has been issued by the repre-.
sentatives of the National Association of
the Red Cross, addressed to American in
ventors, designers, and builders, and to
all interested in sanitary and humane
work for sick and wounded soldiers. 1t
states that the persons signing it, lately
representing the National Association Of
the Red Gross and the government OF the
United States at the international confer
ence held at Geneva in September last,
have received from the international COM
mitteo of Geneva q request that the
following programme for a prize contest
be published in the United States. The
circular adds a further request, that as
many as can do so will contribute inven-
tions, designs, plans, suggestions, and
contrivances, and enter them in this in
ternational competition and prize contest
in accordance with the rules and regula-
tions sot forth by the international COM
mittee.
The contest is for model baraque aud
field hospital. The Empress Of Germany
placed at the disposal Of the interna-
national conference 5000 francs and q
gold medal, TO be given in prize for the
model Of q soldiers baraque and field
hospital large enough to contain twelve
beds. giving each bed space of at least
twelve cubic meters, and such as to form
part Of a larger hospital, or to be by it,
self an independent whole; also such as
to be transported easily; be quickly set up
and taken down, aud be so cheap as to be
destroyed without great loss; SO light as
to be easily carried and strong enough to
resist wind and snow; be impervious to
rain and easy to guard from fire, and be
easily heated and we'll ventilated; water
closet to be either a part of the structure
or separate, but such that it can be
quickly put up and easily put in commu-
nication with the baraque; to be made
with interchangeable parts, and those as
few as possible the floor such as not to
rattle in walking over ii.
Tho work is to be sent to Antwerp,
Belgium, by Sept. l, 1885. A jury OF
men Of the hle hest character will decide

The constitution of tho United States
provides that no senator or representa-
tive shall, during the time for which he
was elected, be appointed to any civil
office under tho authority OF the United
States which shall have been created or
the emoluments whereof shall have been
increased during such time.
The forty-eighth congress, whereof Mr..
Cox was member, increased the emolu-
mcnts Of the Turkish mission from
$500 to $4,000. If Mr.. Cox's term had
not expired since that increase he. would
be disqualified. 1t is a narrow chute,
but wide enough to let the gentleman
through.
II was unders TODD when the salary was
increased that Mr.. Cox was candidate
for that office. 1t is altogether likely
that c friendly regard for him secured
the increase. That Mr.. Cox personally
took any part in the matter is not charged.
As q political question the case stands
thus: A salary Of $1,000 was deemed
sufficient by the Democrats of the House SC
long as Republican was minister to Con
stantinople, but when Democrat wanted
the place salary of SIC, 900 was deemed
the right figure.

The ruron..n war cloud.

The news from London is Of very ex-
citing character. While negotiations are
still pending between tho British and
Russian governments in tho hope of
avcrting war on the Afghan boundary
question, tho relations Of the tw, coun.
tries are so severely Strained" that war
is by no means improbable.
The public mind in London isintensely
excited, and q corresponding feeling Is
reported from St Petersburg. Each Of
the two governments is evidently dis.
trustful Of tho others sincerity, and the
movement Of Russian troops appears 10
Justify the belief that the czar's govern
ment will not meet the ultimatum of
England, but will risk the hazards of
war.

into active service. All the customary
preparations for a campaign are being
pushed forward. While thore Is yet 4
a strong hope that open rupture may DO
avoided, the chances are, perhaps, in the
opposite direction.
