Dear Sir: II. NJ. Hooker q Co, Coopers-
town, N. ~, have sold Devoe paint for p
years. d. T. McGown OF that firm built a
house in 's5 and painted Devoe, Of course.
The paint lasted ten years.
A year or two later a neighbor built a
house and painted II lead and OIL The
neighbours house was reprinted twice in
the same time.
This looks as II the neighbours house
was painted three times in eight or nine
years, and McGown's once in ten wears.
We are not quite sure-we tell the tale as
il comes to us.
II is enough to say that Devoe lead and
zinc lasts twice as long as lead and oil.
Yours truly,

In answer to this inquiry, it
might be said that the people were

In other words, back Of this sud

declared that the Lord had dealt
harshly and unjustly with him in de-
priving him of his slaves, and out
of revenge he registered a terrible
oath that he would never again put
his foot to the Lords ground, and so
far he has kept his VOW.
Never since the registration of his
vow has he appeared without his
door, nor will he have converse with
anyone save one or two, who are
Immediately connected with him, and
then his words are of the briefest
possible character.
His landed interests are extensive.
and under the management Of a COM
petent overseer yield him a handsome
income.
The OveTseer makes his reports to
the queer old man in his darkened
indoor retreat, who gives his orders
and directions as tersely as possible.
He has never spoken to a woman
since his self-imposed exile, nor viii
he allow one to be employed upon
his place.
SOW he spends his time within his
darkened room no one knows, but
it is said that one employment is the
counting of money, of which he is
said to have a vast amount in gold
and silver
BE il as it may, a BardstoWn bank
er twice a year visits Mr., Hayden, and
through him the recIuse settles his
financial matters with the outside
world.
Mr.. Hayden is described as a fine
looking man, with a full beard and
flowing hair. His confinement has
bleached him until he is as white as
an infant and his hands are as soft
as raw cotton.
He had sale of mules at his farm
recently, and a number of animals
were sold at fancy prices
A large number of people we're
present at the sale, bat never a
glance was caught of Mr.. Hayden.
His instructions TO the auctioneer
were sent out by the overseer, writ
ten in a grabbed hand, and were very
direct.
