Gen Lees speech in New York. Fol-
lowing is an exact copy of the account

FUNERAL HONORS AT OXFORD.
On Wednesday the 18th Infant, fun
eral honors were paid by the troops
ftationed at Oxford, to the memory of
their luxurious leader, General George
Warrington. AT day break 16 guns
were fired by company of Worcefter
Artillery, commanded by Capt. Healy;
at funrife another gun was fired, which
was repeated every half hour during
the day. at II o'clock, the troops, hav-
ing been formed, moved from their
parade by platoons, and formed in
Main street; a company of Cavalry,
under the command of Captain Kingf-
bury, formed on their left, the whole
commanded by Major Walker of the
14th Regiment and two companies of
Artillery, under the orders of Major
Andrews, on their right. Thus formed,
at IL O'clock the Hearfe, covered with
black velvet PAIL bearing an Urn
shrouded in black Grape, and accom-
panied by Pail Bearers, in mourning,
and with white Scarfs, was received
by the troops with prefented arms, the
drums beating a march while it paffed
flowly in front of the left; the officers
and colors faluting as it paffed; from
the left it was borne back to the
center, where it halted and received
the falute of all the officers and colors
as one; it was then removed to its
place in the proceffion, which then
moved, by the left, in the order fol-
owing, the mufic playing a dead march.

short distance from Flintstone, Ale
gany county, Nd, at sawmill boast
ed that he could stop the fywheel of
2O-horse-power engine by main
strength, and insisted upon being al
lowed to do so. He seized the wheel

steam. Smith was hurled to the ground
and frightfully hurt. 1t is reported
that the muscles in his arms were torn
out and arteries severed. The bleed

Daniel Moss died near Winchester
last week after short illness Of paraly-
sis of the brain. He was so years Of
age. During the civil war he was a
Jesse scout, and was attached to Sher-
idan's headquarters during the Valley
campaign. He was one of the most
active scouts under Sheridan's COM
mand, thoroughly conversant with that
section of the country, and for long
time was believed to have been a South
ern soldier on account Of the gray uni
form he always wore. He gave val
liable information which had much to
do with Sheridan's victories. Gain
ing the confidence OF Southern SYM
pathizers, he used the information OBJ
tanned for their own individual ruin,
and left death and devastation in his
track. To the day Of his death he
was bitterly hated throughout the en-
tire Lower Valley, the people always
having regarded him as a traitor
Since the war he often remarked that
he expected large remuneration from
the government for his services, but
no recognition was ever taken of him..
He died in poverty.

During one of the storms which oc-
Cured in this county recently lightning
played a curious and well-nigh fatal
trick in a house near Wildwood. Stand,
ing near the fireplace was negro lad
with a pack of cards in his hand. Just
outside OF the house was a tree from
which ran a wire used to dry clothes
on. The lightning struck the tree,
ran along the wire to the house, down
the chimney, and striking the lad, tore
all his clothes off and knocked him
senseless. For long time he was
thought to be dead. DR.. R. G. Ran
dolph was called in, and after con-
siderable time restored animation, and
the negro is now doing well. The
pack of cards was untouched.-Clarke
Courier.

most pronounced agnostics in the

New Postal Money Orders.

The Postofice Department has
adopted new form of domestic money
order, which will be introduced gener-
ally, or as supplies of the old form be-
come exhausted, at the various post
offices throughout the country after
September 4.
The new form is somewhat smaller
than the order now in use. Its dimen-
sions are about those of the ordina ry
bank draft. 1t has two adjuncts-
the advice, or notification to be sent by
the issuing to the paying postmaster,
which is a reproduction Of the order
through the use Of carbonized paper
(the manifold process), and a receipt
for the amount, to be furnished by the
Issuing postmaster to the remitter.
On the back of the order separate
space has been provided for the stamps
of banks through which it may be
passed for collection.
In color the order is blue, having
light blue ground, with fine, closely
interlaced, tinted lines of geometrical
lathe-work, of darker shade. In the
center is an escutcheon bearing the
words, Postal Money Order" in shaded
capital letters Of the same two tints
of blue. The tint Of the order and the
lathe-work will serve to prevent imi-
tations; but, as an additional safe
guard against counterfeiting, hori-
zontal water-mark composed Of the
initials U. S. NJ. o., in broad, capital
letters, has been wrought into the pa
per on which the new forms are print
ed.
In the adoption Of the new form of
order the interests and preferences Of
patrons of the system, no less than
economy of administration, have been
considered. 1t is expected that about
January l next the fee charged for
orders will be materially reduced.

the lath-boy felt. But before he could
say anything Sandy had leaped from the
wagon.
They were on a yellow plain. Not a tree
was in sight or rather out of sight for
miles around. He faced the cats and said.
Here, puss, here, puss. puss, puss, puss."
And, as he had expected, the cats came
running to him and allowed him to scratch
them instead of scratching him, and they
purred just like earth cats.
They were all a bright purple color and
their hair was longer than Angoras ana
they had nine tails apiece. Otherwise they
were exactly like your cat and no larger,
certainly. Sandy had often heard OF cat
'o-nine-tails, but he had never seen any
before He had a ball in his pocket and
he threw 1t to the cats. and they played
with II just as any cats would.
The lath-boy had stopped the horses as
soon as Sandy jumped out He was not
an agreeable companion in many ways,
but he was not mean enough to leave
Sandy to his awful fate. His astonishment
at seeing the boy play with the cats was
boundless. Finally he walked up to one
and held out a trembling hand. The cat
rubbed against his leg and arched her
back and looked over his shoulder al him,
