Death of Mrs. Patton.

After an illness of few days, Mrs. Sallie
A. Patton died of pneumonia at her home
here Tuesday morning, the 18th inst, aged
"a years. She was, perhaps, as well known
as any lady in Greenbrier and her death,
though not unexpected, will be much
lamented. She was the widow of the late
DR.. VIM. II. Patton, of this town, one of
the most distinguished physicians the coun-
ty ever had, a half sister of the late. Mrs
Mason Mathews, and a full sister of Gan.
Alexander Reynolds of the Confederate
army and who died some years ago in
Egypt while in the service Of the Khedive.
Her son an only child, Lieut.. W. A. M.
Patton, to whom she was devotedly attach
ed, died few years after the late war.
Perhaps the most striking trait of Mrs.
Patterns character was her vivacity and un-
ceasing flow of spirits. At social gatherings
she was ever the life of the company. Neith.
or age nor infirmity could crush the natural
vivacity of her fun loving disposition She
was kind and generous to fault and ever
SOLICITORS for the comfort and welfare OF
any, white Or black, who might haze the
slightest claim upon her. This was amply
shown in her constant goodness to her old
family servants who knew her as their best
friend and who, in her final illness, watch
ed over and nursed her with the tenderesl
sOlioitude. She was q staunch Southerner
and an nnoompromising rebel. During the
war her house was sort of general rendez
vous for Confederate officers and soldiers
who always got the best her table could af
ford.
Mrs. Patton had long been member o.
the Presbyterian church and her piety and
unfaltering trust in God were beautifully
exemplifed in her whole life. After ap
propriate funeral services to-day, her body
was laid to rest in the stone vault, in real
of the Presbyterian church, and built by
her direction some years ago as a final rest
ing place for herself and those who, in life
had been near and dear to her.-Greenbriel
Independent, Jan 18th.

Remarkable Weather,

Last Thursday the weather here was very
remarkable for this season of the year. 1t was
as mild as May day. The skies were bright
the weather calm. with the mercury above go
degrees. Fires were not needed for comfort,
and doors were thrown open SIS in Spring and
Summer. This is the kind of weather we have
here when the tn ermometer Is below zero in
the Northwest. Late that evening the temper
ate began to fall and the next morning (Fri-
day. there was inches of snow, in some parts
of the State much deeper, though 1t was not
very cold, the mercury registering a few de.
grees above freezing.
Friday evening the temperature began to
fall rapidly and on Saturday morning the
mercury sank to degrees above zero, the
coolest weather we have had here, we believe,
for some years. 1t is very seldom that 1t gets
to be as cold as that here. The air was calm
and the cold was not felt SO: sen sibly IS Ii

day the weather moderated, and by O'Clock
p. m. the thermometer registered 3S degrees.
In the evening the temperature again began
to fall and on Sunday morning the thermome-
ter registered Is degrees
On Monday morning the mercury marked 81
degrees, and there was gentle fall of rain
winch Iroze on Inc paVements and made them
quite slippery, when the righteous as well at
the wicked found themselves standing on
slippery places"
There was light. drizzling rain ali day, and
night, and on Tuesday morning the thermom.
eter registered 40 degrees. and the weather was
murky, the sky obScured by clouds and the
| atmosphere filled with moisture, making II
| disagreeable to be out, though not cold. There
was more or less rain throughout the day
| which was succeeded by snow at night.

PROFESSIONAL BURGLARS.
THEY ATTEMPT TO ENTER THE OFFICE OF
THE LoNGDALE IRON COMPANY.
Special to the Charleston Gazette


SEwELL, January 15.-On last Tuesday
night, January 18th, bold and daring at
tempt was made to rob thu Office of the
Longdale Iron Company at this place. The
burglars (there wore three of them) came
prepared for business, well equipped with
all the necessary tools for SAFE breaking,
and it may be that they are the same pro,
fessional gentlemen that paid their respects
to Charleston last Saturday night. think,
from the way they commenced operations
they we're under the impression that the
Office is MOI occupied at night, as they hard
ly waited until bedtime to begin work.
Mr. W. L Wilson, the compsny's book.
keeper, occupies one of the rooms as a bad.
room, and he had been IN bed but a few
minutes before he heard noise at two of
the windows in another room. Aiming
himself, he went in the room and discover.
ed men at two of the windows trying to get
in and as afterwards appeared the third
man was on guard on the outside. He fred
at the nearest man and is confident he hit
him, as he was not more than four feet off.
He fell or Jumped off the porch and the
man on watch fired at the window, but he
must have been poor shot as he missed
| the window and his ball struck the ceiling
| of the porch. They Immediately fed, leav
ing behind all their tools, doubtless having
all they could do in taking away theiI
wounded comrads. Up to this time there
is no clue as to which direction they went.
Mr.. W. L. Wilson, who frustrated the
purpose of these burglars,is from this ooun
ty and has been in the employ Of that com
pany for seven years.

CREDIT LoRRAINE"-A RICH TREAT
Those who witnessed the performance of Gre
dit Lorraine by Miss Lillian Lewis and her
dramatic company at the Opera-House on last
Monday night enjoyed rich treat. TWAS one
of the best plays and admirably rendered that
has ever been given here. 1t is interesting from
the beginning and grows in interest as the
play proceeds, and portions lift are very ex-
citing pathetic and tragic. The representation
of "bulling" the market when Lorraine stock
was rushed from $50 to more than 7OO with It's
attendant excitement could not be surpassed.
The parts by Miss Lillian Lewis. as Leonora Di
Castiglioni; Miss Louise Pomeroy, as Madame
Bonbon; Arthur Elliot, as PHILIPPE Remeau;
and Frederick Monte, as the paralytic spy.
were most admirably rendered.

to appear before an audience at country
church in Augusta county. The people
came in from all four corners of the earth,
and there was stove in the room with q
pipe just about twice as long az this one
you have. Well, all things went smoothly
until one old brother refiiled the stove, and
in so doing put in one sticK of wood which
was about half foot too long. 1t seemed
that the old fellow thought he could shorten
the stick by kicking it. He undertook to
put his theory into execution and by so do

Brother Laffsrty says in this week g
Christian Advocate: 81 dedicated years ago
the church at Ronceverte and seined for
shekels to cancel the cost. The Rev. A. P.
Boude, the pastor, lifted the collection, and
related how on like occasion brother in
Rockbridge did not give dime, though
Boude warned the people that they could
easily lose what they withheld. The
stingy saint went home, and found the
finest fat hog in his killing pen stone dead.
I exhorted on the case as narrated by
Brother Boude. Sure enough, a lady from
Lewisburg heard the story, but never gave
a tuppence. On her return home in the af-
ternoon her best big hog was lifeless."
MoRAL.-If you don't want your hogs to
die, give freely and literally to the church
but then what's the use, for hogs are not
fit to use till they do die.
