The Late Madame Sherwood.

As has been stated in the GAZETTE, Nine.
Virginia Sherwood tne most daring bare.
back rider of her time, died OF consumption
in Pittsburg, Pa, Sunday. Mrs. Sherwood
was the wife of Charles Sherwood, the cham
pion bareback equestrian, and tha mother
OF Mrs. Robert Stickney, also famous for her
horsemanship. She adopted the circns pro
fession when q child, and socn became
famous on two continents. Her sister,
Bridget, also daring rider, vas killed one
night at a performance in New Orleans.
She missed her footing and was trampied TO
death. The accident threw the audience
into panic, and number of persons were
injured in the rush which followed. After
her sisters death Virginia left the circus.
In short tins she was back again. The
accident to Bridget did not make her afraid,
but she grew moro daring. She married
Charles Sherwood, the greatest rider Of the
age, and then had her nemo aDDounced Oh
the bills as Nine. Virginia Sherwood, which
name she retained the remainder of her life.
While in New York. Mr.. and Mrs She..
wood, having no children OF their own,
went to foundling asylum aud secured q
boy and girl. They taught the children
how to ride, and both became noted for
their skill and daring. Ida Sherwood, as
the girl was afterward known, became as.
sociated with Robert Slickuey, the great
bareback rider, and thsy fell il love with
each other. They were marFied about
eighteen years ago, and Mrs. Stickney is
still living, but not actively engaged in The
business. Upon the death Of her husband,
Mme Sherwood, vino had amassed cor
siderable fortune, quit the show business and
went to live with her family In the Nc
Laughln homestead, as it is DOW called in
Pittsburg.
During the years 1862 and 1868 there aas
stationary circus on the lot where 5arepta
Hall now stands, on King street, snd lIr.
and Mrs. Sherwood and The adopted daughter
then . child were part of the company
which the proprietor, ]. II. Nixon, brought
here. Mr.. Sherwood will doubtless be re.
membered by some of the cirousgoers of
that time as the inimitabie personater of
"Pete Jeakins," who stumbled into the iizg
and, after cutting up all TIE pranks of o
drunken man, eventually mounts g horse
and in the twinkling OF an eys discRrds his
unkempt apparel and is metamorphosed
into a sleek performer in tights and spangles.
Upon Mr.. Sherwood's first appearance here
the pavilion was policed By guards with
muskets in order that the bostarons soldiery
which composed The major portion of audi
ences in those dsys could be kept quiet
When the actor, attired in bis unsightly
clothes with his hat in the shape of con.
certiua, stumbled into the ring, the soldiers,
who were doubtless raw recruits from some
benighted region, rushed in and pulled Mr..
Sherwood out of the ring. 1t was some
minutes before the audience and actors
could make the soldiers understand that lit
was all in the piece" which the latter final
~ comprehended and the play proceeded

SAW HIS UNCLE's GHOST IN THE Sky
A dippatch from Brakeman, Neb, says:
Abraham McAdams, one OF the wealthiest
farmers in this county, is making arrange.
ments to enter the ministry. This determi-
nation on the part of Dir. MoAdams was a
great surprise to his friends. There is 6
queer story in connection with it. Last
Thursday morning he started to Brakeman
in company with neighbor named Ira
Boyce. When near place called Harrer'a
Draw, about four miles east of Atwood, they
saw cloud shaped like balloon and occu.
pied, apparently, by q woman, arise from
the draw and float off toward the northwest.
1t went but short distance when it turned
and came toward them. When about 200
Yards distant and 100 feet in the air the bal.
loon suddenly dissolved and left the woman
with long, floating hair, which implicitly
covered her shoulders and reached to ber
waist, standing alone. She had one hand
outs.retched toward McAdams as if heckeL
ing him. The ghostlike scene suddenly
changed again, and In place of the woman
stood horse with large pair Of saddlebags
across its back, and by its side man with
hair worn rather long and a black stovepipe
hat on his bead. He vas dressed in clerical
garb, and McAdams at once recognized him
as the exact counterpart of bis uncle, a Vir-
ginia circuit rider. This apparition also
turned for moment toward tho men. Then,
regarding McAdams gravely, it bsckoned
once, and, mounting the horse, galloped
slowly off dowu the lawn. When MIR. Nc
Adams called for his mail at Brakeman he
was handed letter with deep black bor-
der, postmarked at Three Rivers, Va. a
portion OF it read: "Your uncle John was
called home yesterday. He was taken ill in
prayer meeting the night previous, and only
lived short time. He was conscious to the
last. He asked that his library be given to
you, aud his dying request waa that you
should become minister of the Gospel, and
take up the work where be left off,
