Fire.-The residence OF Rev. John
w. Hedges, of the Baltimore NJ. E. Con-
ference, situated near Hedgesville, in
Berkeley county, was totally destroyed
by fire last Saturday morning, together
with the elegant furniture it contained.
1t is not known how the fire originated.
The loss will probably reach 5000.
Rev. M. Hedges is very unfortunate.
His fine barn and contents were de-
stroyed by fire less than year ago,
causing heavy loss.

This Time Their Visit was

More AgreeabIe.-Last Saturday
eight gentlemen from Philadelphia,
nearly all of whom had been members
of the Philadelphia Corn Exchange
Regiment, visited the battle field at the
Cement Mill, near Shepherdstown, for
the purpose of making sketches and TAX
ing Photographic views of the locality.
1t was the first time that they had
visited the place since the time their
regiment had such disastrous expert
ence with General Hill's soldiers, but
they had not forgotten the occurrence,
and related many incidents that hap
pened then. They were shown over
the field by the superintendent Of the
Cement Mill, Mr.. j. w. Magaha. They
will use the data they collected in his.
tory of their regiment which is now be-
ing gotten up by Major Donaldson, of
Sharpsburg.

Years.-A romantic incident has been
brought to our knowledge by some of
the officers ut the G. V. Passenger Sta
zion in this place, which is worthy of
note. A few weeks since there was on
one of the north bound passenger trains
of the 5. V. Il. X. female % years Of
age, whose anxiety to reach Elkton at
tracted the attention of one Of the train
men, to whom the cause was commune
Gated on the way to that. station. The
party, who told her own story, was a
Miss Haines who, "a years ago, and
when but 4 years of age was stolen ftom
her parents, and had seen nothing Of
them since, and until short time before
even her or their existence was un-
known.
She had been, during these years,
living at Richmond in the house of a
man named Craw ford, who had recently
died, and on his death-bcd divulged the
name of the girl along with the fact lie
had. stolen her, as above stated, and that
her mother was still living at Elkton.
After his death, Miss Haines opened 4
communication with her mother which
established the truth of Crawford's state
ment, and she at once made arrange
ments TO return to the home from which
she had been torn in childhood. AS she
approached Elkton her nervous anxiety
increased, and OH descending from the
car was graSped in her mothers arms
and scene, as may readily be con-
ceived, of most affecting character
was witnessed by those who were ac-

A Turpentine Farm.

A turpentine farm must be seen to be
appreciated. When the farm is pitched
the boxes are cut one to three in a pine,
according to size. The trees are counted
into crops of'so many thousand, and this
is called a virgin crop. The queer little
guage called a buck is then brought to
bear and a streak is cut above the box,
which is simply o deep oval notch, point
ing downward so as to lead the gum
which excludes into the box below.
These boxes are made to hold about a
quart. This first run is as clear as oil,
and is the finest of all. After being
dipped out with a paddle, it is distilled,
and the hard rosin left is sometimes as
white and clear as glass. It is very
beautiful, and brings a good price in the
great naval stores markets. Second
years gum is not as good In quality, bat
fully so in quantity. Third year boxes,
when the monthly hackings have made
the scar high up, are still poorer, and
f;om thea on the crops hardly pay for
working.-Atldnta Consultation.

forever. But before, the people of the

Prayer for Coffee.

During the war the people of Arka-
delphia, Ark, kept up their religious
revivals. They argued that the Yankees
might keep out sugar and coffee, but
that they couldn't keep out the Lord.
Among the most fervent of the revival
lists was old Sister Boyle. Without her
no revival could hope to be a success,
and whenever there was the least draw
back, she was called upon to pray. One
night, at q meeting, the mourners Were
slow in "comin' through" Sister Boyle
was called upon. She took a position
near the altar, knelt down, raised her
hands, and said: ooh, Lord, we are in
great distress. We have tried rye,
Drowned potatoes, parched corn, okery,
and many other things, trying to get a
coffee taste out of 'em, but, Lord, thou
knowest as we'll as we do that parched
corn an SIGH lacks a right smart of being
coffee, so now, Lord, knowing all this,
please open the blockade an let the Lin
coin coffee pour in, an we'll praise thee
early an late. Amen" Arkansa,o

Known by the Nick In his Boots:

A well-known Treasury official, who
docs considerable railroad travelling,
says he has made an amusing discovery,
which if properly carried out insures I'M
usual care and attention from employees
on parlor and sleeping cars. The tourist
who has been initiated is provided with
the most comfortable seat in the dining
car, receives special care and attention
from the walters, and is always sure to
have q lower berth in the sleeper.
Should any of his fellow-passengers be.
come jealous at the marked courtesy
shown their comrade, and inspired with
curiosity to know why the distinction is
made, they have only to look at the
heels on the shoes of the favored one,
and they will observe hat there is q
small ''nick" or notch there. Inspectors
or ''spotters'' of the palace car service
are constantly travelling over the rail
roads to see that the passengers receive
proper attention. They do not intend
to have their connection with tho COM
pany known to the railroad officials,
but frequently the latter ''drop' to their
little game and stamp them so that they
will be known all along the road. The
porter in gathering up the boots and
shoes in his car cuts q "nick" in tho
hind part of the heel of the shoe be-
longing to the inspector, so that the
other porters will recognize him US soon
as they look at his shoes. The Treasury
official, in q mysterious way, became
aware that a nick in the heel of his shoe
would greatly facilitate his comfort and
pleasure in travelling. He tried the ex-
pertinent, and it worked to his entire
satisfaction. He found he was served
with the best provisions the buffet af-
forded, his shoes received the brightest
shine, and although he had been obliged
, to purchase an upper berth, the conduc-
tor on the sleeper kindly placed q
'lower' at his disposal. 1t is probable
that a new system for tagging the 'tspot-
tiers" will be adopted in the railway SER
vice now that their trademark becomes
known.-B Baltimore Sun.
