If it will interest your readers
you may add the following to my
account of the old turnpike and
it's taverns:
David Fegley kept tavern in
Loudon as early as 1887 or 1888,
and as late as 1S42. How long
before or after | do not know -
He was a Democrat from Berk's
county, friendly and full of hui
NOR, and used to call, when in
Chambersburg, at the old Tele-
graph Office, where / was learn
ing my trade. AT that time can
didates for Sheriff were not nom.
mated by Conventions, but ran
scrub race, half a dozen or more
being on the track. In 1S41, Will
liam Gilmore, Adam Fisher and
Upton Washabaugh, of Chambers
burg, William Coffroth, of Green
castle, and others not remember
ed, were candidates. Although
parties did not nominate, they
generally endeavored to concen
trate on the candidate of their
faith whom they believed to be
the strongest. Gilmore, Washa-
baugh and Coffroth were Demo-
Gratis; Fisher was u Whig, and
other Whig candidates.
The Democrats concentrated on
Gilmore. the Wings on Fisher
Fegley promised to do all he could
for Washabaugh, from whom he
got his beer, for w. was u brew
er, but when the votes were couut-
ed w. did not have one at Loudon.
This was Thought to be good
joke on Fegley and it was rubbed
in ON him. He stood the rubbing
very well and probably "stood
treat" on it pretty often, usually
remarking, 81 thought he would
get some votes and if there had
just been one ! could have claim
ed it.

Artificial on manufactured oy-
sters are now being sold in Paris,
where the real bivalve is very ex-
pensive. The only genuine thing
about the manufactured oysters
is the shell, which is purchased
second hand by the makers at
small cost. The spurious oyster
is fastened on with tasteless
paste, and is sold on the half shell.
Those who have indulged in these
counterfeit bivalves say that when
lemon juice or vinegar has been
added they cannot be told from
the real article. The secret of
their manufacture has not yet
been disclosed, but the ingredi-
ents of which they are made are
said to be harmless.

The man who has really
cheerful disposition is he who
can whistle when he has only five
cents in his pocket and no hope
of getting more until next salary
day.

Fegley's elk" reminds me of
that of Miller, who predicted that
the end of the world would come
in 1874. james K. Paulding was
noted politician and literary
man in New York and had been
Secretary of the Navy under Van
Buren. I'e wrote for Godey's
Lady's Book at that time perhaps
the most prominent magazine in
the country, an article entitled
"The End of the World" The
fateful day opened very hot and
the heat increased every minute.
Fowls walkedaround gasping and
with extended wings. Dogs loll-
ed out their tongues and lay down
and painted. Horses and cattle
were covered with perspiration
and showed signs of great dis
tress. Human beings began to
move rapidly down broad and
dusty road, with anxiety depicted
every countenance. The throng
increased and the heat increased.
Thousands swept along, power
less to resist. AT length a large
fat man came .trundling along,
with his hat off and face ahame,
his right arm working like a pis-
ton rod as he wiped off the per-
spiration with Il big red bandana
handkerchief, and his every feat
ure indicated extreme alarm.
The author recognized him as Mil
ler and asked him how it had come
to pass that he was travelling
down the broad road in such com
pany as crowded itand apparent
ly in as much distress of mind
and body as the rest. With a
groan of agony Miller answered,
ooh! was so busy saving other
peoples souls that | forgot to
save my own"" Fegley might
have plead off in the matter of
Sheriffalty by saying he had been
so busy trying to get other men
to vote for Washabaugh that he
had forgotten to vote himself.

Incidents Connected with Three Of the

We published recently paper en-

shortly after its publication added the
following incidents connected with the
old-time hostelries:

There was a mass meeting at
McConnellsburg in 1854, which
Gov. Bigler, then candidate for
reelection, attended. He stop
ped at McDonald's. Twas stand
ing with him in the parlor, about
the middle of the forenoon, when
an old man came in and was intro
duced. In stature he was rather
below medium height, and his
frame was light but well knit
He said he lived at Fort Littleton,
which | think is about 10 miles
distant from McConnellsburg,

walked down to see the Governor.

turned with the request from Mr.. Col.
iier that his wife should come. This

house was startled by the report of a
pistol She found that her husband had
shot himself, and before a physician
could be summoned he was dead. For
some time past Mr.. Collier has been
extremely respondent and his friends
and relatives at times thought his
mind unbalanced.
1t was while In this condition this
morning that he took his life. He was
out attending business as usual yes
terday, and when he went home in the
evening he left directions about his
mails and business during his visit to
the Beach.
Mr.. Collier was about 70 years old
and was born in the house in which he
died. He was distinguished as a law

lily.
