THE MAY CENTURY" Haw-
thorne's Philosophy" is the article
which will first catch the attention of
many readsrs of the May Century,
partly because his personality is one
of lasting interest, and also for the
reason that his son, who writes the
paper, has an intimate philosophical
way of approaching the elders gent
us. In the frontispiece portrait, after
a daguerrotype, we have the novelist
as he appeared, with clean-shaven
face, in 1848, while he was surveyor
in the salem Custom-house. The Rev.
T. T. Munger, who year ago contri.
buted an essay on Immortality and
Modern Thought" writes in this
number with equal suggestiveness of
Evolution and the Faith" Special
stress is placed on the profusely illus
trated article, which in their order are
in attractive chapter on American
Country Dwellings," by Mrs. Scuylel
van Rensselaer,. With the illustrated
papers should also be mentioned the
chapters on the war, which include
General MeClellan's last paragraph
written by him for publication. The
seventh chapter of Mr.. Goss's " Rec
objection of a private" deals with the
period of the temperance of g Nc
Clellan at the Head of the Grand Ar
N.Y." General D. III. Hill describes.
with stirring anecdotal interest" The
Battle of South Mountain" which
was the severe conflict preliminary tC
Antietam. In conclusion General Hill
advances very interesting reason fol
the ready and lasting return to good
fellowship between the sections.

the number with an account of the

STRUCK 1T RIcH.-Last November
Messrs. II. w. Potts, of Shepherds
town, A. W. Morris and John l.. Fa-
Der, of Auguste county, Va, and f.
X. Lands, of Philadelphia, obtained
lease from Mr.. w. NJ. Watts of the
manganese and other ores on his place,
which is about 81 miles northeast of
Waynesboro Junction and 81 miles
east of Shenandoah Valley Railroad,
in Virginia. Since that time they
have been prospecting for ore, but
without marked success until last
week, when in third shaft they had
sunk, at depth of 45 feet, they found
a rich deposit of manganese ore, the
lead being about four feet thick where
it was struck. They are now running
two drifts from the shaft, and have
taken about 100 tons of ore out. They
will begin shipments as soon as the
ore can be washed. In the meantime
they have secured other valuable
leases, and expect to make large ship
ments during the summer and fall.
Mr.. Geo. w. Boswell, of this place. is
in charge of the machinery at the
mines. We are very glad to hear that
the prospects for further rich develop
ments are favorable, and hope that
the enterprise may come up to all
expectations.

seconds he reappeared and pulled for

Mr.. Luther Sitter, Of this place,
proceeded to Manding's Ferry on the
Shenandoah River, last Friday, with
his traction engine and saw-mill, to
cross over to Mr.. Lee Fl. Dillow's on
the opposite side of the river.
The boatman was unwilling to risk
hiss ferry-boat with the engine, and
there was nothing left for Mr.. Slifer
to do but to proceed down the river
to Harper's Ferry, cross on the bridge
there, and attempt to reach Mr.. Dill
lows by passing over the rough
mountain road on the other side.-
This was thought by many to be inn
practicable, but, not to be daunted,
Mr.. Silfer made the effort, and we
are pleased to learn made it success
fully, doing no further damage than
to rouse up the natives of the western
slope of the blue ridge, some of whom
thought a locomotive had strayed
from the track and was making its
way on some f1endish mission along
the mountain side.

DEATH OF Mr.. HALDEMAN.-J. S.
Haldeman, Esq, since the war a
prominent lawyer of Martinsburg,
lately practicing at Washington, died
at that place, Thursday morning,
April Doth, of a congestive chill. Last
spring he had severe spell of sick
ness, while living on Burke Street,
this city, from which he did not fully
recover, and which may led to his
sudden death. He was gentleman
in principle and manner, and very
much of scholar. A strong Repub.
lican, he was repeatedly advocated to
allow the use of his name in politics,
but would not consent, having told
the writer more than once that polit-
ical matters were not congenial to his
nature. He was a wise counsellor,
though, in politics as well as in law
and business and his conservative
mind and prudent course had more
weight in shaping the policy of the
party than that of many others who
took more active part. AS friend
he was truth and sincerity in all they
imply; THE HERALD will ever cher
ish the memory of his friendship and
counsel, from the time we came here
a stranger to the present, as an evil
dence of disinterested kindness not
met with every day in this busy world
ofselfish pursuits.
OfMr. Trademarks early history we
know very little. He was a native of
Ohio, taught school in his early years,
and then studied law. He married in
this county, and owned the property
held by E. Boyd Faulkner, Esq. After
the death of his wife he sold it, and
seemed to live only for his children,
educating them and bestowing every
fatherly affection upon them. He
was in his fifty-fourth year. May his
spirit rest in peace.
