We take the following from letter to
the Warren County Messenger, of Jan.
18th: "On Monday, January 2nd, at 8
o'clock and 20 minutes, the inhabitants Of
Browntown were terribly excited, ana
many Of them frightened badly, by a
terrific earthquake, which was certainly
the most severe ever felt by anyone now
living IN the neighborhood. 1t was pre-
coded By loud, though peculiarly in
describable roaring sound, Immediately
followed by a shaking of the earth. The
shock was most perceptlbly felt (as far as
can be ascertained) in and near Brown
town in an easternly observation-disclosures
were so severely shaken that dishes were
knocked from shelyes, picture frames
swung to and fro, windows ratified, and,
in fact, everything movable was momenta-
rily displaced. At Mr. Masemer's a bed
upon casters was moved several inches
at Mr.. J. X. Narlow's large mirror brok
en- and at Mrs. Amanda Marlow's thu
stove-pipe knocked down. 1t must have
been local, and BrowntOwn in the i'm

We take the following from the Stsun-
ton indicator "On Monday, four little
colored boys, none over eight or nine
years old, sent on by the Mayor for burg
larry and larceny were put to the bar in
the Hastings court. They had broken
into and robbed store on Augusta street
of candies, provisions, "Rough on Rats"
and everything they could lay their hands
on in the hurry of the night. A sort Of
compromise verdict was arranged in the
court, whereby the little defendants
pleaded gully to larceny and were awarded
fifteen days in Jail, on the promise Of their
parents that they would go down to the
jail and give the culprits sound thrash
ing. The programme was fully carried
out. This is one Of those cases that show
the Importance of a House Of Correction"

A Printer Killed.

We learn that the old gentleman known
all over the State as "Old Man Ashby, the
printer" who visited this city about two
weeks ago in search of work, was run
over by the cars somewhere near New
River, few days ago, and killed. lie
had tramped all over the country, work
ing in newspaper offices a short time, and
then, becoming disconnected, would take
the road again. He learned the printers
trade GO years ago. Peace to his ashes
Roanoke Weekly Sun, IAN.
"Old Man Ashby," whose unfortunate
death is given above, was one of the most
widely known printers in the United
States From the Atlantic to the Pacific,
from Canada to the Gulf, he had worked
in almost every town, and with it all was
that greatest Of curiosties among tramp
printers, a perfectly sober man. He has
frequently been in Woodstock, and work
ed in the TirgiuiaR Office few years ago.

The disposition. to regard a friends
home as a hotel, and the repasts served
therein as free lunches. betrays the under
bred guest beyond the possibility of reha
Utilization, One token of this inclination
Is in the establishment of his contented
person in the most luxurious chair he
espies or loiling on the sofa. He carries
forward the neat design by lingering brio
a-brac, opening and shutting books, scru-
tinizing wall paper, frescoes and furniture,
sometimes turning up the corner of a rug,
pinching draperies with hnberdashery
touch. and, when not prevented by in
tractable casters, tipping his chair on the
hind lCEs.
Why what the indignant military critic
of tho Jackson statue at Washington
called "'rnrin'" chair should express the
extreme of ease better than one left in tho
normal quadrupedal position is a recon
dite question. 1t must. or it would not be
brought to the front so often that u chair
tipped backward might serve as the crest
of the independent Yankee the world over.
A further aud quite indubitable evidence
of observation-disclosures is tho subdued
whistle or hum with which the guest re
gales himself when not talking. lie can
compliment his entertainers no more
highly than by becoming a human kettle
en- the hob, and singing himself up to the
bubbliny point of conversation.-Marion

You don't know what fast travelling
means In this country"
An Englishman, who had recently made
q trip throughout the New England states
and the west. was discussing our railroad
system with a friend at a cafe.
Now listen and III give you some
news. In England third class passengers
ride from forty to forty-ive miles an
hour and nobody pays extra fare on ac-
count of the speed. From New York to
Albany it is 142 miles by a splendid track.
There are ten express trains daily between
these cities. and their average speed is
tw~enty-nine miles an hour. Between
London and Sheffield, 1852 miles. the
Great Northern runs nine trains daily,
with an average speed of forty-fve miles
an hour. Between New York and Bos-
ton the average speed Is thirty
miles an hour, and the fastest, a
train composed exclusively of sleeping
cars. makes ~thirty-nine miles an hour.
Between London and Manchester, 203
miles, there are twenty trains daily. with
an average speed of forty-one miles an
hour. and some trains making fifty. Be
tween London and Glasgow. 440 miles.
there are thirteen daily expresses, and
thelr average speed Is almost forty miles
IN hour, one train being much faster
than this"
Yes, but that is only on favored
lines"
Not at all. All over England and
Scotland express trains. composed of first.
second and third class carriages, make
from th~irty-five to fifty miles an hour.
while in America a thirty-five mile train
Is called a stroke of lightning. The fast
est regular train in America, so l am told,
Is on the Baltimore and Ohio, which
makes the forty miles between Washing
ton and Baltimore in fifty minutes. There
are three or four fast trains between New
York and Philadelphia covering forty-six
miles am hour. Between Liverpool and
Manchester there are ffty-two trains
daily, none of them slower than forty-fve
miles an hour and four of them making
dfty-one and n third miles an hour

A reporter debarred from his usual call
at Delmonico's, lunched at one of the
coffee saloons of Park row. AT his table
sat al old sea bronzcd sailor, who sud
denly made the unappetizing inquiry of:
"Did you ever eat any lamp oil dough
nuts?''
Positively, neveri'' replied the re-
porter, with n slight gasp of horror.
The old man smilingly said: "Well,
they're better than these greasy things on
our plates. In my young days 1 was a
whaler, and the captains of whaling ships
used to give prizes to the men; something
for sighting the first whale, or striking n
big 200 barrel fellow, the fastest boats
crew, and SO on. After a ship had slowed
her first 1000 barrels of oil, the crew
would get a barrel of flour as q present
from the captain. When we tried ont
our next sperm whales blubber, the cook
would take a lot of our flour, roll out a
big batch of doughnuts and cook them in
the hot, boiling oil-and first rate they
used to taste when eaten with molasses.
You see the oil when fresh is Just MS
sweet as lard, and besides you must con-
slider that it is not fish oil Mt all, for the
whale, you know is an animal, New

A singular evidence of the aspiration
toward enlightenment under difficulties
in any land is in an odd class of folk /
have discovered here in Havana. Books
in Cuba are few and costly. There are not
as much news and miscellany in any
single issue of a Havana newspaper as are
given in three columns of any American
daily. But the intellectual hunger must
be satisfied. and there have grown out of
these conditions q large number of lectors
or readers. These go from one shop to
another, and often from house to house
among the lowly, and read and comment
upon the insignificant worlds news which
the lifeless papers occasionally print.
They are well paid, for, as they must roar
like mad bulls in their readings, so that
the 500 or 1000 hands in a great cigar
factory can all catch the precious words,
they soon lose their voices altogether

Early Marriages in China.

In China early marriages are the rule.
The match is arranged by the parents,
and is in the nature of a commercial trans
action. The groom is expected to make
presents of money and clothes to the
bride, who, however, brings no dowry or
anything in return. Tho calendars are
consulted solemnly for lucky days, and
the blessings of the tutelary gods sought
by various propitiatory measures. If the
signs fail to turn out auspiciously the
wedding is postponed again and again.
The ceremony of marriage consists in
drinking u cup of samshoo together in the
nuptial chamber, Thomas Stevens Let

When the first electric telegraph was
established, according to the British
postmaster general, the speed of trans
mission was from four to five words a
minute on the five needle instruments.
In 1949 the average rate for a number of
newspaper messages was seventeen words
a minute. The present pace Of the cleo
trio telegraph between London and Dub
lin, where the Wheatstone automatic in
strument is employed, reaches 462 words
a minute; and thus what was regarded
as miraculous sixty years ago has multi
piled a hundredfold in one-half century.

without aid. After giving up all hopes Of re

the newspaper about your Cuticura Remedies,
and purchased them from my druggist, and
obtained almost immediate relief. began to
notice hat the scaly eruptions gradually
