LIKED FREE AIR.--Some time ago
one David Barr, after slandcring in an
indecent manner, one of Martinsburg's
purest daughters, was tried and senten-
ced TO one year in the county Jail. But
David had a hankering for more con-
genial scenes, and dropped and pinned
away in his cell. Last Saturday night
he resolved to quit the black dungeon,
and to let the scenes that knew him once
know him no more forever. BY strategem
he managed to find his way to the gar
ret. Removing the stones from under
the window sill, he slid down a bed
cover rope, and sped away into the
darkness A good radiance of bad rub

SMALL PoTAToEs. Clothes do not
make man. no more than feathers
make bird. They may beautify and
make comfortable. but their useful
ness ends there, and is quite annulled
BY the vanity and arrogance they in
cite. Some people worship clothes, aud
40 matter though theig possessor may
have heart as black as Murlock's. or "a
tongue as restless as that of Mrs. Cau-
die, still, perfection is attributed TO
them On the other hand, the home
spun jeans and drilling, the polite man
ner, the noble bearing, the honest, out
spoken advice or condemnation, os poor
man, are considered degrading and
common" We like to see a person
dress neatly, aye, richly but only when
true politeness and gentleness are
found in the heart. A rasca's money
and foppish clothing, may catch the ad
mlration of the giggling school girl, or
the silly maiden. Matnrer and wiser
ladies and gentlemen can only condemn
them No one need be ashamed of hon
est, decent clothes. made by the loving
hand Of mother. wife or daughter.

PoToMAC ISLE. - This beautiful
island, nesting in the purling waters
of the grand old Potomac, has been Sc.
cured by company of Williamsport
gentlemen, and will still be a tavorjte
picnic resort during the coming sum-

the island propose to make many i'm
provements, and add large number of
amusements. The steamboat will con-
meet with all the trains over the g. V.

assistance to their Maryland brothers.

THE M. E. SUNDAY SCHOOL MIS-
sIoNARY ANNIvERsARY.- The large
upper apartment and galleries of the M .
Il. Church, were crowded last Sunday
night with persons who had assembled
to witness the missionary anniversary
of the Sunday School, The pulpit was
beautifully festooned with evergreen,
and peeping out from the back ground
and around the corner pillars, lovely
lilies and geraniums, gave forth their
mild perfume. The exercises were
quite lengthy, and of a pleasant and en-
PERTAINING nature. The recitations by
Misses Kate Bateman, and Minpie
Winning, were in excellent accord with
the evenings exercises, and the little
ones, in every part assumed, did credit
to their teachers and parents. The so
10 by Miss Estelle Kline, was especially
excellent, and beautifully rendered.
Rev. A. S. Hanks address was quite
pithy, and one of the incest we have
ever heard him deliver. Tie presenta-
tion of the banner to the infant class
by z. A. Rohrbaugh, Esq, was very
nicely accomplished To separately
enumerate would be impossible.

PASSED AWAY. - Monday evening
last Mr.. G. Tabb Snodgrass died at his
mothers residence on King street. For
several weeks he had been troubled with
the tiuctuating changes Of that dreadful
aflliction-heart disease. He bore all
his sufferings with brave fortitude and
always endeavored to appear cheerful.
But to the critical eye, the forces of
disintegration were plainly visible, and
death evidently but few days hence.
Tender, loving, friendly hands and
sympathetic hearts made him comfort
able and as restful as possible. OF no
avail to save his life were human sys-
TENS and appliances, and so he passed
away, hearing the low sobs and chris
tian assurances OF friends and loved
ones. The deceased was we'll known ia
this city, and highly thought of by his
fellow men. In the prime of useful
life, he was cut down. May the reward
of the redeemed and saved be his.

Gen. Lees Early Boyhood Days.

I have recently seen at Mr.. EZekel's
studio the clay model of Gen. Lee as 3 boy
Of IA, which, it is hoped, will be erected
in marble in front of the house Of Lees
childhood in WestmOreland county, Va,
on the site OF the tombs Of many or his
followers who fell in the war. The figure
is exceedingly characteristic and full OF
life, and the face rejuvenated by Mr..
Ezekiel from his own bronze portrait
model Of the general in later life gives elo-
uuently the promise Of what was to come.
''"'he boy is father to the man" here in
very truth. The right hand, holding a
little simple cap rests on the small stump
Of an oak tree, while the left, brought up
to about the waist, clasps n Bible with
one finger between the leaves. The youth
full figure is slightly turned from right to
left, and the head Is erect and thrown
back q little, as if TO catch the light
breeze which blows apart the folds OF the
boys simple blouse and reyealsin part the
promise Of strength and the compactness
in the figure. The small feet, for which
the Lee family are famous, are finely mod
eled, as also the slim, boyish leg in its
neat stocking and breaches buttoning
below the knee.
81 had by q mere chance an interesting
opportunity Of judging the faithfulness OF
the likeness as q mere likeness, II heredit-
ary ~resemblances are to count for any
thing. While / vas examining the figure
in detail there came into the studio a lady
with three pretty daughters, who was
introduced to me as Mrs Cooper, daugh-
ter Of Gen. Lees first cousin. One OF the
young ladies, aged about Is, bore so strik-
ing a resemblance TO the boyish portrait
Of her illuStrious relative as TO make 1t
certain eyen to a strangers eye that they
were Of the same stock; and, indeed, Mrs.
Cooper (who is usually ,alled the "niece"
Of Gen. Lee, though really the cousin
once removed, and was on terms OF the
greatest affection and confidence with
him) declared that any member OF the
family must be satisfied with the striking
likeness apart from the artistic merit az
the work.-ROme Cor. Philadelphia Bal
