TI1Z OKEVZLISG FAMILY.
John Creveling of Van Camp, acred
about S4 years, an esteemed and
highly respected citizen, died Friday
evening, Pec. 23, 1892 at his old
home, which is now occupied and in
possession of his son-in-law, David
1 ost, Esq. Several years ago he had
an attack of paralysis, from which he
never fully recovered his former
health. A few days previous to his
decease he was taken with pneumonia
which terminated in speedy death.
His wife preceded him several years
ago. He was the father of four child
ren, Alfred, of Plymouth, Catharine,
wife of David Yost, F'rank who was
wounded in the war of the rebellion,
ami subsequently died, and Drucilla,
wife of Fletcher Bowman, of New
Columbus. The surviving children
are representatives of large and in
teresting families, some of whom are
honored grand parents. The pioneer,
Samuel, who many years ago located
on a farm near Van Camp, part of
which is now owned by Benjamin
Young, who lives 011 the homestead
site, was the father of a large family,
Andrew, Peter, John, Isaiah, Samuel
Russel, Rachel and Sarah, all of whom
are now dead except Sarah, widow of
Jacob. Wenner, late of Bendertown.
The surviving children and grand
children of the above deceased fa
milies constitute a large circle of
friend-", some of whom occupy promi
nent stations in life, and all of whom
are good and exemplary citizens. It
h a. remarkable concidence that in so
large a family connection we cannot
recall a single dissipated one. Thus
verifying the divine injunction, train
up a' child in the way he should go
and when he is old he will not depart
from it. A family history would be
an interesting volume and a rich treas
ure for every household of the family
name, and of all the family connec
tions. Bucklou's Arnica Salvo.

Some naval officers were onco invitod
to a ball, whereupon it wus discovered
that few of thorn knew anything about
dancing. Tho first lieutenant, who was
well versed iu tho art, therefore took
thern iu hand and gave them a series of
lessons. The simple dances were soon
acquired, but when they came to the
figures confusion reigned supreme. At
last tho lieutenant declarod he would
writo out his directions iu langaugo so
plain that the veriest lubber in the lleet
could comprehend them. That very
afternoon ho guve each of his pupils a
a copy of the following directions after
studyiug which not one of them made
the slightest blunder :

take your station on tho line with your

and bring up with your partuer. She
tlieu uiunccuvres ahead, harness all
a-back, shoots ahead again, and pay off
alongside. Ion then make sail in com
pany with her, till nearly astern with
the other line, make a steruboard, and
cast her off to shift for herself, regain
your berth by the best means ia your
power, and let go your anchor.
LA TUINITE.
Wear round, as before, against the sun
twice, box haul the lady; range up
alongside her and make sail in her com
pany. When half way across to the
other shore drop astern with the tide,
shoot and cast off the tow; now back
and fill as before and box heel her and
yoursolf into your berth and bring up.
LA PASTORALE.
Shoot ahead alongside your partner,
make a stornboard, make all sail over
the other cast, lot go your hawser, and
pay off into your berth and make a turn.
The three crafts opposite range up
abreast toward you twice and back
astern again; now manouvre any rig you
like, only under easy sail, as it is always
light wind (isophyrs as they call it) in
this passage; as soon as you see their
holms down haul round in company
with them ou tho port tuck and make
all sail with your partner into your own
berth and bring up.
LA FINALE.
Wear round to starboard, sight tho
cathoads of the craft on your starboard
