An old Relic-Sale of a House and Lot-Cold
Weather, &C.

A. G. Routson of this place has in his pos
session a medal struck in honor of Admiral
Vernon's victory over the Spanish in the
West Indies 1t is made of copper, with the
Admiral standing on the quarter deck with
drawn sword and these words surrounding the
margin &c British Glory Revived, Admiral
Vernon took Port Bello with six ships only"
On the reverse side it has six ships standing
in for the harbor. 1t is dated 1888, the figure
g is not perfect, but all the others are very
perfect. The figure may be 4, as history
tells us that the port was taken about that
year. George Washingtons Oldest brother
took part in this expedition, and on his return
to his home in this country he named his
estate in honor of the Admiral, hence the
name applied to Mount Vernon. This medal
was found about two years ago under stump
of an oak tree on the property of John I.
Knox, Of this place, not far from where his
house now stands. r. F. B. Warehime, for
the purpose of cleaning out the way in putting
up the garden fence, took up the stump, which
was at least two and half feet across. The
medal must have been lost before the tree was
there, as it was right in the bottom of the
stump and at a depth of about two feet from
the surface. The letters or reading on it are
still very plain. 1t has the resemblance of
copper but it is too light in weight for that
metal. Any one wishing to see the medal
eau view it by calling upon Mr.. Routson.
The place where it was found is near the bed
of the Oldest road in this part of Carroll
county.
Not far distant is also the Oldest grave yard
in this section There is headstone at one
of the graves dated 1777 of a certain distin-
gushed member of the family by the name of
McAllister, Scotch family. There are also
several old and interesting remains of the
earliest settlements in this section, some of
which will give you history of hereafter.
Some of these date back before the Revolu-
tiopary war.

Fire was discovered ON Wednesday morn
ing in the drug storm of Louis Rinedollar,
No. 4 Pennsylvania Avenue, this city, by Ed
ward Bale who was on his way to the railroad,
about o'clock, with milk. He noticed a
bright light which satisfied him that the build
ing was on FIRE and gave the alarm. Mr..
Rinedollar had just stepped out Of his store,
crossed the atreet aud entered the Anchor
Hotel when the alarm reached him. On
hurrying to the store he unlocked the door
and found the floor well satussted with coal
oil, it having been emptied from can found
in the store The cot on which he slept gave
evidence of having been saturated in the same
manner. The only damage done was the
burning Of two bed comforts. With ten min
utes more time itwould probably have proved
a serious onnAagration as The buildings IN that
immediate locality are Of combustible
