nature.
The fair which has been In pntgress
since the 14th inst., under auspices of

mas night. Nearly all of the schools
w ill erect a Christmas tree for the oc
casion. There seems to be a hitch some
where In the construction of the new
electric plant. The pole holes are com
pleted and the poles are lying along
side of them, but it seems as if the
work Is dragging somewhere.
It was reported that an error was
discovered in the plans for the engine
room foundatious, and not until the
contractor commenced the work was
the error discovered. This has prob
ably been the cause of the unexpected
delay. It is expected that the work
will be commenced again next week
when it will be pushed with renewed
vigor.
l'ECKVILLE.
John Martin, the subject of this
sketch, was born In Hejin, near Cob
ra's, South Wales, April 10, WS, and Is
therefore years of age. He was the
son of Isaac and Cathrlne Martin, and
his father was a tiller of soil. John
Martin was married July 10, 1823, to
Mary Vaughn. Seven children were
born to them, three sons and four
daughters. She died In 1X44, aged :!S
years. He was again married In 1S4.
to Catherine Williams, the daughter of
Kvan and Ann Williams. Fourteen
years after his second maniace, In
is(!0, Mr. Martin w'th his wife Immi-
JollX MAI1TIN.
grated to this country and located In
Hellevue. where he went to work in a
slope for the D., I.. & W. Co. He work
ed there about two years when he re
moved to Peckville und located In a
small story and one half house owned
by the Kile company, on the Hldge
road. He then started to work for the
late F.dward Jones at the old No. 1
shuft nt oly pliant, and has since work
ed at mining coal nnd outside work un
til about 12 years ago, when his second
wife died.
He hns since lived alone with the ex
ception of his dog "Shep." which is his
only companion. He has only one son
living, David Martin, of Kingston, who
Is the father of ten children.
"Old I'ncle John." by which name
he Is familiarly known. Is hale nnd
strong today, considering his advanced
age and the hard work he has followed
tin-ought life. He united with the
Welsh Methodist at Llnntuith Major,
6!) years ago, and has lived up to Its
doctrine ever since. He has in his pos.
session a Hible printed In the Welsh
language which he reads without
glases every day und has had It over
T.I years.
Mr. Martin does his own washing
an i cooking with the ussitance of his
duughter-iii-luw, Mrs. John Mnrtln,
who resides near him, and seem to live
very contentedly all by himself. Mr.
Martin has been a citizen of the I'nited
Staes for over thirty years, and has
never missed to vote at the spring or
fall elections since he was eligible to
Vole, anil has never Voted unytblns but
u straight Republican ticket.
Mr. Martin was early In life thrown
on his own resources, which doubtless
developed ns nothing would, the prac
tical and self-sustntnlog characteristics
of his nature. He is a man of research
and reading and one who realises the
great responsibilities of life, and one
who does not hesitate to shed what
sunshine and cheerfulness hj can along
its pathways.

From the Philadelphia Times.
The army of northern Virginia was
retreating from Gettysburg. It halted
near Hagerstown and threw uo In
trenchments as if anticipating another
engagement. But no enguguttient was
expected or desired. The south was
defeated and General Lee knew it. The
soldiers 8tinggled into town in search
of amusement und to supplement their
rations. They found whisky in abun
dancea luxury not easily obtained, in
the confederacy. Tney hud it, and par
took of it freely. In consequence they
were noisy and by no means a pleas
ant acquisition to the good people of
Hagerstown. Rumors of their disor
derly demeanor reached Gyjcal Lee,
who Immediately sent a peremptory or
der that all confederates men and of
ficersshould return to camp at once.
I was provost marshal of Hagerstown
at the time, and the order came to me.
I detailed a squad of men under a ser
geant and sent them out with Instruc
tions to enforce It. They returned in
a short time nnd reported that all had
promptly obeyed except Colonel F ,
of the cavalry. He was In a store, and
drinking, anil refused to go. I knew
hun. He was a tine man and gallant
oflicer, and fearless as the proverbial
lion. He wag rIso six feet and seven
Inches In hcJtiht. and of mopintlonate
dimensions in other respects. "Show
me Colonel F " 1 said, "and I will see
that he obeys." The men led the way.
Sure enough, we found Colonel F
leaning on the counter of a stove; he
had evidently been drlnklqg, though
not Intoxicated.
"Colonel," said I, walking up to him,
"I have an order from General Lee to
send all Confederates men and offi
cersto camp at once. You will pleas?
obey."
Looking at me coollv. In spite of his
heated condition, he said, "I will not
go."
"But, Colonel," I said, "you must go."
"I will not go," he replied. "I don't
belong to your command. I belong to
Roony l.ee's division."
"But, Colonel," I said, "the order is
from General Hober E. Lee and Roony
le himself is under his command.
The order makes no exception, and
leaves me no option but to see It
obeyed."
"I tell you, I don't Intend to go," he
renlleu.
I was irritated at his persistence, and
said with some warmth, "You must
go."
Taking out my watch and noting the
t me. I sa d. "I w ill give you ten mm
utcs in which to decide what you will
do. At the end of that time, If you still
refuse to obey, I shall order these men
to lire on you.
I turned to the men and commanded
them to fix their guns, which they In
stantly did. In the most nonchalent
manner Imaginable Colonel F put his
hand behind hltn and drew from his
hln pocket a tevolv.er. a Colts six-
shooter. Cocking It and pointing at
me he said:
"If you order those men to fire on
me I will shoot you.
I did not reply, but studied my tlme-
nlece lntentlv. What should 1 no:
What ought I to do? I did not wish
to sacrifice this gallant life. A puss
ing thought that my own life hung on
a thread flitted throuirh my mind. It
wus only a Hitting thought. Veterans
are so Inured to danger that It makes
but little Impression when they have
It to face. To this fact, I think, is due
their etliciencv more than to the su
oerior training experience gives. They
are never hindered in appreciating a
situation or obeying an order ny pel
sonal fear. Just before the time was
up Colonel's F's adjutant came to me
hurriedly and touched my urm.
"Colonel," he said, "I want to speak
with vou a mlpute.
I wen aside wih him.
"Colonel. " said the adjutant to me
"you can't manajre Colonel In the
condition ne is in now. i Know mm
He will not budge from the position he
has tuken. He will stand there witn
that pistol and fight General Lee s
whole army before he will surrender.
Leave him to me. I think I can coax
him back to camp.
"Very well, do so," said I. greatly
relieved to have the responsibility re
myved. I left him to the adjutant
What argument he used I do not know
but In a few minutes he hud persuaded
him to return to his command, and
Colonel F never knew of the mental
conlllct I had undergone.
(rant's Lesson to A Sentinel.
General Horace Porter, In his "Cam-
paiglng with Grant" In the December
Century, relates an anecdote telling
how General Grant aided a drover in
turning his cattle. General Porter adds:
He knew, of course, that the man did
not recognize him. If he had supposed
the man was lacking In proper mill
tary respect, he would perhaps have
admlnisterd to him the same lesson
which he once tautrht a soldier In the
Twenty-first Illinois, when he com
inanded that regiment. An oflicer who
served under him at he time told me
that Colonel Grant, us he came out ot
his tent one morning, he found a strap
ping big fellow posted as sentinel, who
nodded his head good-naturedly.
smiled blandly, and said "Howdy, col
onel? His commander cried, "Hand
me your piece," and Upon taking It,
faced the soldier and came to a ."pre

musket, he remarked, "That Is the way
to sav How do you uo to your col
onel."

"I had a dreadful carbuncle abscess,

abscess broke, the pains were terrible, and
I thought I should not live through It. I
heard and read so much about Hood's

my husband, who was suffering with
boils, took it also. It soon purified our

My dear Mrs. Plnkhamr
This is a happy day. I am well and gaining
weight daily, but shall continue the treatment
and Vegetable Compound during the summer,
as you suggest. Uncle knows nothing about
whut you have done for me, because it would
make things very unpleasant in the family. I
would like to give you a testimonial to publish,
but father would not allow it. I
hall be married in September, and as we go
to Boston, will call upon you. How can I
prove ray gratitude? 0

Just such cases as the above leak out
in women's circles, and that is why the
confidence of the women of America is
bestowed upon Mrs. l'inkhum.
Why are not physicians more candid
with women when suffering from such
ailments?
Women want the truth, and if they
cannot get it from their doctor, will
seek it elscwheie.
