CHAPINvIEEE.
INTERESTING RELICS.

Edward Hawver, who moved onto the J. P McNiel farm last spring, bas found in an attic, nicely packed in 8 chest. several relics. Among them was the funeral sermon preached by Rev Dr Reid at the first Mrs McNlel's funeral, Jan 6, 1864. She joined Dr Reid's church Sept 13, 1840, and died aged AT It is one of pr Reid's powerful sermons the text is taken from Psalms 116, V 15 The reading of this sermon carries the writer's mind back nearly 30 years to the time when he heard 1t delivered by that masterly scholar in his usual forci | ble manner. It seems as though il were but yesterday that the writer heard the words dropping from his Scottish lips.
 A daily diary, kept by Virgil McNiel while in the army in 1862, tells of hi; whereabouts, even mentioning the weather on every day of the week. Two satin silk vests worn by MT Me Mel on his first and second wedding | days.
 Several letters 60 and 70 odd years old, sealed with wafers, the postage being 25 cents, beneath which is re yealed love from sweethearts in days | when they were not particular about orthography or grammar.
 Account books dating back some SC years, with almost every mans name thereon from far and near, most oi whom are now dead, thus indicating that he was in business from first to last
 One having the curiosity to read old letters, and especially those of many oi the people of his acquaintance could here find reading for long time.
 There are two pocket books, doubt less used by McNiel when he sold clocks in Virginia, in hls younger days at $30 and $40 each, which can now be bought at the same prices leaving of the cipher, keeping as good time.
 MT Hawver also has an Indian stone pestle about Is inches long, plowed ur on Canaan farm, which shows that il is ancient.
 Mir Hawver will doubtless make ar ancient exhibit at the Worlds Fair, i the Nicaragua canal is open in season so that he can, float his exhibits, anG thus scoop in surplus, while en route to pay expenses.
