Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.
Last month in my drive through the
comfy of Diuwiddie, when reached Dar-
we'll Post Office I net several gentlemen on
their way to attend funeral. Upon in-
duirg | was informed that the name of the
deceased was Col. JOS w. Harper, Of Har-
Petersburg and was about to be Inferred at
his birth place. From those gentlemen and
others I gathered q few facts in regard to
that peculiar gentleman. He was Virgin
ian OF the old school. 81 years of age. straight
as an arrow, about feet inches high. and
not being stout bis appearance was that of a
seven-focler. His career in life was some
what checkered. having made aud lost sew.

but from each financial disaster his energy
broncht him up, and be died leaving large

dis|ikes apparent o those brought in con.
TACT with him, b lance he had many friends and
rumefou; enemies His beautiful residence
on the Nottcway river, with its attractive
surroundings hs called "Harper's Home" "
which is also the na1sY OF the post once.
He was active almost hp to the time of his
death snG removed 10 Petersburg about
year ego. The immediate cause of bis death
was from an injury, sustained by o, fall from
an old fashioned high-p post bedstead., many
Gears ago he had fine walnut-tree on his
plantation cut down and sawed into heavy
nlenks and from the most select of which
had his coffin mado over fifteen years ago.
It wsg seven feet long and of ample width,
and after its completion be got into it to try
,ha fit. and bsing satisfied, it was held IN
reserys fer future use. Several days before
his death the maker OF the coffin was in
structed to trim it up and forward it to Pc
tsrshnrc. 1t was done, ard reached there
