MIR. Editor:-The following will be OF
interest TO some at least OF your many
readers:
In an old family bible owned by VIM
Summers, esq, Of Bluestone, Va, is
found this record: This certifes that
the lite Of matrimony was celebrated
between William Summers, Of Tazewell
county, and Martha L. Bane, Of Taze-
well county, Va on the 10th day OF
June, 1852, at VIM. r. Bane's, by Rev.
Geo. w. G.. Brown.
Witness: Rev Edward c. WexIer,
Rev. Jno ID. Vincil."
Rev. Mr.. Brown was then clerk Of
Iazewell county. IN "A few years he
moved to Texas and think died there
"a lew years since Rev. Mr.. Wexlcr
was then "the circuit rider" on a terri
tory now embracing 20 charges. He
was strong preacher and has long
since died. Rev. DIR. Vincil is a native
OF Tazewell and is now a distinguished
citizen OF Missouri,an lives in St.Lo
where he went many years ago. He
remembers the event very distinctly
ana spoke to the writer few months
since with reference to it. He was Mt
the time teaching on Bluestone and had
also commenced preaching, which he
yet does with great power and elo-
quence.
Among the few now surviving that
were then present, are both the groom
and bride, who have celebrated the
Doth return Of the day by inviting chill
dren, grand children and few special
friends to spend the day with them.

Nash, Mrs. Annette L. Trogden and
j. IL. Summers, Bluestone, Va. or the
80 grand children, and one OF the fourth
generation, 20 were present to enjoy the
occasion.
The groom of 30 years ago may be
described as nearly 6 feet high. com
pacuJ built, muscular, strong and ac-
tve' with a ruddy face, heavy locks
and handsome" He is now some-
what deaf, feeble and thin in flesh. with
gray hair and white beard-an old
man in his 18th year.
The bride of half century was me-
dunn in height and small OF size. with
a round face, fair skin and large blue
eyes. She is now gray and otherwise
shows age, but is much larger and
lieshier and is unusually strong and
active for one in her 69th year. 1t is
the ardent wish OF all that this worthy
couple enjoy many years yet of earthly
hle-even unto the date OF the diamond
wedding, but this is scarcely possible
since sc, few reach the Golden Wedding
Anniversary. G. VS..

that lights, If supplied as indicated in

The Fly on the Ceiling.

Now, as to how flies walk upside
down. They do not accomplish the
feat by adhering to ceilings by means
Of little air pads attached to their
feet, as many suppose. They walk
on the ceiling and on glass by means
of capillary attraction, the operation
of which is accentuated by means of
little drops of oil, which eXude from
hairs on their feet. Every time fly
walks over window pane it leaves
behind it series of tracks. invisible
to the naked eye, perhaps, but com
posed of little spots of this delicate oil.
One scientist counted the hairs on a
tlys feet and found on an average of
between 10000 and 10000. from each
of which flowed the minute specks Of
Oil. The oil is absolutely necessary to
the fly when walking on vertical
surface. If pane of glass should be
wet or very dusty 1t would be impOs-
sible for the fly to walk over it, in the
one case because of the flowing of the
oil between the hairs of the feet and
destroying the strength of the capil-
iary action: in the other because of
the clogging of the hairs with the dust.
The effort of the fly to get rid of
dust can be noticed by any one. The
insect will constantly stop and clean
out the hairs on its feet by wiping
them off on the wings, which are pro-
vided with wonderful little stiff hair
brushes for this purpose.-Boston Her

State boards of arbitration appear
to have failed signally in the purpose
of their creation. Twenty three States
have laws providing for arbitration,
and these laws are dead letters in all
but five or six Of the States. In the
States where public boards of arbitra-
tion survive, labor interests at odds
prefer fighting-a resort TO strikes and
lock-outs-rather than an appeal to
these supposed beneticent institutions
Of a progressive State. This is be-
cause State arbitrators have not suffi-

which labor troubles spring, to inspire
confidence i'll either capital or labor
