Social Gathering,

The evening of January alst was the ncoa-
sion of a pleasant social gathering at the hos
pitable residence of Mrs. VIM. Lee. Laugh
ter and chat particularly the mirth.provoking
sayings of Messrs. Schultz and Kelly with
merry games, made the hours pass quickly,
and after refreshments in the form of ice
cream, cake, confectionery, fruits, etc., in
bountiful profusion had been served, all we're
surprised at the lateness, or rather eaFliness,
of the hour, and departed with the conviction
that seldom had they spent more enjoyable
hours. Among those present were Misses

An ENTERTAINMENT was gwen by The above
conpany at Odd Fellows Hall, in this city,
on the evening of the 9th ultimo, and il has
rarely been our lot to attend any thing of the
musical order, other vocal or instrumental,
that gave such entire satisfaction. The
"Till Family" constitute wonderful com
bination in the musical world. The great
novelty of the instruments which they en-
ploy adds much to the attraction Some
rough looking stone, of slaty appearance,
varying from 10 to 20 inches in length. upon
which they perform with wooden mallets,
can be made by their skill to initiate a rich
toned niano or a first class organ. A boot
music in imitation ola violin, This is truly
wonderful musical combination,

An Old Relic-sale Of a House and Lot-Cold
Weather, &C.

A. G. Routson of this place has in his pos
session medal struck in homer 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 -" 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 1889, the figure
8 is not perfect, but all the others are very
perfect. The figure 8 may be 4, as history
tells us that the port was taken about that
year. George Washington's 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 L.
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 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
can 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 certain distin-
guished member of the family by the name of
McAllister, a Scotch family. There are also
several old and interesting remains of the
earliest settlements in this section, some of
which will give you a history of hereafter
Some of these date back before the Revolu-
tioaary war.
