Thus spoke General Warren, the old commander of the Fifth Corps, of a Colonel of a Pennsylvania Regi ment, vounzm vear9, who was giving evidence of his military abili ty aid courage while commanding the skirmish line at Auburn Hill, the real ocenine to - the battlle of Bristow Station. This young man had even then a remarkable record as a soldier, but it crew stronger and brighter as the warclouds thickened and the clash of arms filled the land with their terrible realties.

He seems to have inherited mili tary liking from his ancestors, some of, whom were soldiers in the early Indian wars. His great-grandfather served in the Revolutionary war, and was a member of Captain Church's company of famous Mad Anthony Wayne's regiment After the strucdes of the Revolutionary resulted in the liberty for the Colo nies, he settled in Franklin County and married a Miss Keefer, a com rades sister. One of his sons settled in Lebanon uuniy ana raisea a family, one son of which took up his residence in Millerstown Perry County, on the banks of the Juniata, and following the family bent went to merchandising. . 1 general beayeu's early life, j James A. Beaver, his son. was bom at Millerstown. October 21. 1S37, and is consequently in his fortv-hlth rear. His father died when he was only three years of nee. and he was brought up by his grand- father, who lived in Mifflin County, He laid the foundation of his edu- cation in the common schools ot his native place and of Mifflin, and under the tuition of his grandfather, who was a minister. He was sent to Jefferson College at Cannonsburg Washington . County, - to . complete his education, when about sixteen years of age. He graduated with honors from that institution on the Glh of Auzust 185C, when nineteen vears old. and almost immediately removed to Bellefonte, where he now resides, to fit himself for the : legal profession. He began the study of aw with Hon. a. J. .McAllister, one of the most distinguished law- yers of Central Pennsylvania, who Siedwhileameniberof the conven- tion which formed the present Con- stitution of this State. Almost from the moment young Beaver came to Centre County he began tAkinir an active part in the politics ! and society of that section. He was admitted to the bar when bare- v t wntv-Oiie vears of aze. and so rapidly had he developed into a J J f - - I awver that Air. .McAllister at once took him into partnership, a busi- ness connection with continued on- tU the death of the latter. While studvin'ff law. voune Beaver showed great taste for military life and study and ioined the Bellefonte Fencibles. a crank military company, com- at once turned and ordered the com manded by Andrew G. Cnrtin, the mand to change front, so as to better fn.miiiiB war Governor. He soon showed great proficiency in drill, a ready knowledge ot tactics, and was chosen Second Lieutenant of the Mmranv. When the war broke I out he still held that position. Tbe j - . . i first gUn of the KebelllOn bad hard ly been fired when a meeting was called and it waa agreed that the officers should resign their commis sions and that the company should be recruited for active service in the field without regard to the relative positions of officers and men.

Ibe regiment became a part of General r atterson's command and marched into Shen andoah Valley before the battle Of Bull Run. It was near enouga to the skirmish at Falling Waters, one of the first engagements of tbe war to hear the shriek of a shell bnt not to smell powder After the three month's campaign Lieutenant Beaver ' united wiUt Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Welsh of Columbia, Pennsylvania, and re cruited the Forty-fifth Pennsylva- Infantry, a full three years reel ment Welsh became its Uolonel and Beaver its Lieutenant-Colone! This command was ordered into South Carolina, and - did service at Beaufort and Hilton Head for near ly a year. During this time Fen sylvania was pouring its troops into the field as no other State in the Un ion was. During August of 1862 nearly a full regiment was raised in Centre County, and when it was about ready for the field Lieutenant Colonel Heaver was requested to De come its commanding officer. He resigned on the 4th of September, 1862. and reached Harruburg on the 6th and took command of bis new regiment (the One Hundred and Forty-eighth) on the same day without even going home, armed and eauipDed it in two days, and on the 6th marched along the line of the Northern Central Railroad to do cuard duty. This was during the Antictam campaign ana me kax federates were making desperate ef forts to get a foothold on northern soiL and to destroy the northern Central Railroad leading into Balti more, one of the important links in the line of communication between the North and its base of military operations at. ashmgton. From that time UJionei weaver ue- gan showing interest in military af fairs he was known as a strict disci' nlinnnan. and he impressed UPOn u" in .camP . u 11 e uiartu luc "uc of its military importance. From picket duty along the railroad he was ordered with his regiment to the Armv of the Potomac just be fore the battle - ot - redencKSDurg. Not beine able to procure transpor tation he made a forced march from Washington, but did not reach the scene of action until the day after the battle. Upon his arrival he was ordered to report to General Han cock, who then commanded the first division of the Second Army Corns. When be reported to that great soldier, who has since become so famous, th re was an occurrence them that has continued inrougn MUIUie ClClt-9 tn vtaiimm uu w Dolitics from thatday to this.

Hancock looked at the young eol- aier fixedly for a moment and then said : "Colonel, I regret to say we have no such brigades. I only wish we had.'' He then ordered Colonel Beaver to report to the first brigade of his di vision, and the two parted. During the intervening weeks between dis astrous Fredericksburg and the doubtful field of Chancellorsville the 148th Regiment simply took its . - .f,; r P in use cauip-uw ot wic ruiy o. the rotomac shot through the body, Sunday morning, May 3, wis an eventful "day for Colonel Beaver and his new regiment, lhe long roll was beaten early, and the I4Sth Reg- iment was hrst in line and out in the road, ready for duty. Jeb Stew art had succeeded to Stonewall Jack- son's place after the latter's death and was following jacRson s plan to turn the right nans oi me union army. Colonel Beaver's regiment stood in the road, waiting lor the rest of the brigade to form. Gener- al Hooker rode up hurriedly, and interrosating him, said "Is this the first bngade, first di vision fcecona thorps r "It is," replied Colonel Beaver. "Then follow me and I'll 6how you where to go into line." Hooker and Colonel Beaver rode on together towards the enemies lines with the ii&tn rennsylvAnia uegimeni, leaving me rest . oi me bngade to follow. W hen they rcach- ed the wood which the enemy, had already occupied, Fighting Joe Hooker pointed to the place where he should put his regiment in line. "Hadn't I better throw out a line of skirmishers ? inquired Beaver, "There is no time to form a skir- mish line, everything depends on holding this road," replied the com mandmg uenerai as he rode away. a - Beaver marched his regiment into tne unuercruwiu, uu uau doi, pro- ceeded far in the direction Hoooker had named before he was met with a withenng fire which struck his regiment on the right flank. He had dismounted in order to more readily command his troops, and he receive and return tbe enemy's fire, Just as he gave the order he fell for- wara on nis iace ano inrougn me body. Two comrades picked him up, to whom he remarked : - "I am of no more use ; leave me, and after the battle is over it will be time to look for the dead." He was, however, carried to the rear and cared for by the division surgeon, who probed his wound and found that, although very severe, it was not necessarily mortal. He was sent North as soon as able to be removed, and arrived in Harris burg as Lee was marching to Gettys burg. General Couch had been assigned to the . command of that military districtjand all the North was aroused at the threatened invasion of the Keystone State.

There had - been trouble ' in camp just before Colonel Beaver's arrival, and although weak and still suffer ing from what every one supposed at first to be a faial wound, he took a place upon General - Couch's staff, at his request and assumed com mand of Camp Curtin. ' He readily brought order out of chaos, aad or ganized and sent ' to the field the emergency regiment that -participa ted in the Gettysburg campaign. lhis duty performed, ne again re joined bis regiment in the latter part of July, A SECOND AND THIRD WOUND. At Auburn mu. where tbe. com pliment at the head of this article was drawn from General Warren, he distinguished ' himself, and again at the' battle of Bristow Station. From this ' time to the battle of Cold Harbor he followed the for tunes of the armv of the Po tomac, participating! in 'and doinc excellent services in all the battles on which hung the Union laurels along the route ot urant's march to Kich mond. At Cold Harbor he was pro moted to the command of his bri gade. Thrice before he had been of fered an equally high place, but he refused to leave his regiment to ac cent promotion. . Until the com mand of the brigade to which he belonged became vacant, he prefer red to remain with his own regiment Three of the commanding officers of the brigade to which it belonged were killed within the week preced ing uionei leaver s elevation to this cammand the only one , he had ever aspired to lead. At Cold Harbor he, was again wounded in tbe right hip. It laid him up but a short time.' however. when be resumed his com nl and as a Brigadier-General. - At Petersburg, while rallying bis force! he was lit erally blown up with a shell which struck almost under his feet and bursted. A piece of it struck him in the left side, making , a terrible wound. This was the severest mis hap he ever received, except the fi nal one, which disabled him for life. As Boon as be could travel he was sent Noth. where he remained for some time. He returned to his . w a ej . -a. a brigade before fit for duty, and Gen eral Hancock would not consent to his taking command of it while still suffering from . his injuries. '. " He went North again, and after thirty days , leave reported to General Hancock the day of the cattle oi !eam s Station, on the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad, lhe 24th of August, 1864. , ,. . .. ' iw i. GENERAL BEAVER'S LAST BATTLE. This was an important engage ment, and General - Hancock was in personal command of the troops, heportiBg t4ieadquaterv and find ing that his division had gone into actin, he took an ambulance and followed it A year ago or more I heard this distinguished and mangled soldier relate the following story of his last battle : finding my division gone, followed on in an ambulance some fifteen miles until I arrived at the point where our torces were engaged in destroying the railroad so as to break the line of communication been Richmond and the South. There I borrowed a horse and rode to General Hancock's headquarters, who was in person commanding for this special service tbe first and Second Division of the Second Corps, of which he was justly proud. tie ordered me to take command ot my brigade, which was tbe Fourth Brigade of . the Second ' Division. Two corps of the Confederate army under General Longstreet and Hill, bad come down upon uenerai Han cock's forco while it was tearing up the railroad. Our lines were drawn in, in the form of a horseshoe, and entrenched in rifle pits, ready for a fight which was just about begin ning as I rode over and relieved Col. Brodie of the command of the brigade. The-skirmishing between the advance of the two forces was going on vigorously, and I had dis mounted and was going along near the rifle pita, watching the skirmish ine and the preparations for at tack. . "Suddenly I dropred and found one of iny legs at right angles with me. It was my right leg, 'and I at once knew it was gone. Hardly ad I fallen ; when the attack was made, and in an instant as I looked, the cavalry- having finished its work poured back straight down to where I lay. Seizing my hat I waved it above my head to attract their attention and prevent myself from being trampled under tbe horses' feet They caught the sig nal, pulled up, and some of them dismounted and carried me back to where a stretcher could be procured, and I was removed to the rear. The whole line was at this time engaged, and while I was being carried back met General Hartranft coming up with his division to reinforce Gener- Hancock."" whose " line' had been broken in the centre after a desper ate contest, in which these two di vision of the old Second Corps had withstood the stubborn attack of two of the best corps of the Confed erate army. "Dr. McDonald, our division sur geon, when I reached a secure place, examined my leg and said cheerily : "Oh! well save that for you." "If you'll make a good stump of it I shall be thankful,' I repUed J "Oh! well do that ; never fear," he answered.," " v 1 "He did bis best, but the shot was too high up,' and the leg bad to be amputated at the hip, and it was done the next day." ' 4; ; "It was a bitter fight, indeed, this battle of 'Ream's Station:' I have often wondered how our force got off as well as they did. I doubt if there had not been some raw troops inthecertre of the line, where the break was, whether our lines could have been broken at all by the supe rior attacking force. , ..r L,. After this battle and with three severe wounds besides the one which tore away his leg General Beaver was forced to retire from active military , service and . after, four years of army life, characterix., ed by a quiet braverv and an infol. liait performance of duty that had gained the admiration and respect of all men, he was mustered out of tbe army in I860. , i GEXERAL BEAVER IS PRIVATE LIFE, , .

In 1865 he was a candidate for the I Legislature m centre county, which usually gives 800 to 900 , Democratic major ity.

"Welt Harry, I don't know about that . I'd like to take a good plunge, but, you see, there's no telling how soon we may move." . y - It was the ; afternoon of Tuesday, June 14, 1884. We had been march ing and fighting almost continually for five weeks and more, from the Wilderness to Spottsylvania, over the North Anna, - in at Cold Harbor, across the ramunkv . and over tbe Chicahominy to the banks of James Kiver, about a mile and a half from which we were now lying, along a dusty road. We were sunburned, covered with dust, and generally used up, so that a swim in the river would be -a refreshment indeed. Having learned from one of the officers that the intention evidently was to remain where we then were until the entire corps, would come up, and that we should probably cross the river , at or somewhere near that point, we resolved to risk it . : . : So, over a corn-field we started at a good pace. We had not gone far when we discovered a mule tied up in a clump of bushes, with a rope around his nock. . And this long eared animal, somewhat "gothic" in his style of architecture, we de cided, aftsr a solemn council of war, to declare contraband, and forth with we impressed him into service, intending to return him after our bath, on our way back to camp. Untying Bucephalus from the bush. we mounted, Andy in front and 1 on behind, each armed with a switch, and we rode along gayly enough, with our feet dangling among the cornstalks. , For awhile all went well. We fell to talking about the airection we had come since leaving the Pamun ky : and Andy, who was usually such an authority on matters geog raphical and astronomical that on the march he . was known in the company as "the compass," con fessed to mo as we rode on that he himself had been somewhat turned about, in that march over , the Chicahominy swamp. "And as for me," said I, "I think this is the awfullest country to get turned about in that I ever did Why, Andy, while we were lying over there in the road it seemed to me that the Bun was going down in the east Fact ! But when I took my canteen and went over a little ridge to look for water for coffee, I found, on looking up, that on that side of the ridge the sun was all right Yet when I got back to the road and looked around, judge of my surprise when I found the whole thing had somehow swung around again, aad the sun was going down in the east" "Whoa darl Whoa dar! Whar you gwtnewid dat dar mule o' mine? Whoa, Pete !'' The mule stopped Btock-still as we caught sight' of the black head and face of a darkey boy peering forth from the door of a tobacco bouse that we were passing. Pos sibly, he was the owner of the whole plantation now, and the mule Pete might be his only live-stock. "Where are we going, Pom pey? Why, we 'er going 'on to Rich mond!'" " 'On ter Richmond' ! An' wid dat dar mule o' mine ! "Clar to good ness, sodeers. cant eit alonff wit dat mule. Better eit off 'n dat dar! mule!" 1 "Whip him up, Andy!" shout ed I. "Come up. Bucephalus !" shouted Andy. And we both laid on right lustily. But never an inch would mat mis erable mule budge from the posi tion be had taken on hearing the darkey's voice, until all of a sudden, and as if a mine had been sprung under our feet, there was such a striking out of heels and such an uncomfortable elevation in the rear, the angle of which was only increas ed by increased cudgeling, that at last with an enormous spring, An dy and I were sent flying off into the corn.

' Let us take step further, and make' a study out of keeping a husband, if be is worth winning, he is worth keeping. This is a wicked world, and man is dread fully mortal. Let us take biru juh as he is, not as he ought to be. In tbe first place, he js very weak. The wife must spend the first two years in discovering all tbe weaknesses. count them on her fingers and learn them by heart The fingers of both hands will not be too many. Then let her study up these weaknesses. a mesh for every one, and the secret is hers. Is he fond of a good dinner? Let ber tighten the mesh around tim with fragrant coffee, light bread and good things generally, and reach his heart through his stomach. Is he fond of flattery about his looks ? Let her study the dictionary for sweet words, if her supply gives out, Does he love to hear her talk about his brilliant intellect? Let her pore oyer the encyclopaedia to give variety to the depth of her admiration. Flat tery is a good thing to study up at all hazards, in its delicate shades but it must be skillfully done. The harpy who may try to coax him away will not do it absurdly. Is he fond of beauty? Here's the rub let her be bright and tidy; that is half the victory, .next let her bang her hair (metaphorically) and keep up with the times. A husband who sees bis wife look like other people is not going to consider her " broken down." 1 bough it is a common sneer that a woman has admitted that her sex considers more, in marrying, the tastes of her friends than her own yet it must be considered ludicrous that a man looks at his wife with the same eyes that other people do. Is be fond of literary matters ? Listen to him with wide-open eyes when he talks of them. . A man doesn't care so much for a literary wife if enly she be literary enough to appre ciate bun.

It is hard to do all this, besides, taking care of the babes, and looking after vexation, household cares, and smil ing when he comes home ; but it seems necessary. ' "To be born a woman is to be bora a martyr," says a husband who for ten years has watched in amaze ment his wife treading the wine re8s of her existence. It is a piti al sight to some men. But if the wife does not make a study of these things the harpy will steal away the honor from his silver hair when he is full of years and the father of sons and daughters. At the same time, gudewife, keep from trying any of these things on any other mortal man but your own. These rules are only evolved to "keep a husband." The poor.weak creature would rather be good than bad, and it is the woman's duty to help him by every means in her power. Argonaut. A Dastardly Revenge. Estill vii.le, Va., Feb. 27 A sad drowning accident occurred yester day on Baer Creek, in this country, resulting from the brutal refusal of persons standing near at hand to endeavor to Bave those in peril. Mrs. Vickers, with her three children, while attempting to cross the stream on horseback, were thrown into the water by the animal missing his footing and stumbling. The wo man and her little ones, the eldest not 10 the youngest a child at the breast, were precipita ted into the swift current A man named John Tugate, with two other men, stood on the bank and watch ed the desperate struggles of the poor woman and children to save them selves. One of the men, less heart less than the others, manifested a disposition to attempt to save them. Tugate, however, would not permit him or any other to lend a helping band, but forced them to stand by and witness their struggles to get out of the water. The cries of the woman finally reached the ears of a man at work in a field near by, who, in re sponse, went to her assistance in time to save tbe woman and In r two eldest children. The infant had been swept down the stream and was drowned before tbe man could plunge in and save it Tbe. expla nation of Tugase's heartless refusal to assist the woman is that her hus band, a few years ago, murdered bis brother and consequently suffer ed for his crime upon the gallows. , Hayesweld O Feb.

Their only protector was A If xandr I. who le mie Czar in 1S01, On the accee ion of Nicholas, in 1S2.3, they were prol ibited from carrying on the smaller trades, but were allowed to be bill brokers, contractors, tc on paying a verv heavy impost for the privilege, this and many other oppressive enactments seem never to have been effectually carried out, since a rigorous enforcement of them would have largely disorganized the social machinery of the country. Although treated as aliens in other respects, tbe Jews were subjected by Nicholas to the conscription, and that, too, without the ordinary ex emptions. , In fact if a Jew escaped the con scription a Jew child was taken, and after being brought up in the orthodox faith in some distant pro vince was enrolled as a substitute. Many of these Jews were among the host that rolled back from the heights of Inkerman. In 1S64 it was decreed that the long beard. caftan, girdle and cap of sable which had been made obligatory, should only be worn by who took out a license costing fifty rubles. A few vears after it was enacted that the Jewish women should not cut their hair upon their marriage and wear a head covering as had hereto fore been their custom. In 1851 the yoke was a little lightened by the repeal of regulations which extorted a large sum as a sort of safe conduct on leaving the Empire. But still. until after tbe death of .Nicholas amid the closing scenes of the Cri mean war, no Jew could possess land in Russia, nor w?a his evidence taken in a court of justice. The rabbins did not enjoy tbe im munity from flaggellation accorded to "other religious teachers. One child of each Jew family had to be brought up as a Christian, and resi dence in the holy cities of Kietf and Moscow wa3 interdicted to Isralites. But their liberties have grown with tbe liberties of Russia, and the rule exercised over them is now comparatively clement The Jew ish population of the Empin in cludes some five-seventh of the whole number settled i n Europe. Their religion is tolerated; they are al lowed to erect synagogues ; they have municipal privileges, and carry on much of the commerce of Russia. At the same time no Jew can rise above subaltern rank in the army. They dt not enter society. No boyar dines with them or invites them to his house. "Ye. Sir, fd Shoot Him." Six or eight congenial spirits sat around a stove in a Grand River srrocerv the other nieht. and after seveml other subjects had been ex hausted, someone introduced that of panics in churches, theatres and alls. This gave Mr. Hopewell a chance to remark : "Gentleman I just long to be there." "Where V- "Why, in one of those panics. Yes, sir, I'd give a new twenty dol- ar bill to-be in toe theater one night when there, was an occasion for a panic." "Why ?" "Why, because one good, level headed man could stop the thing as easily as you could end up that bar rel of flour." "WelL I dunno about that " ob served one of the sitters. "There is something awful in the cry of fire ! and hear it where and when you may it startles and frightens. What would you do in a theater in case there was a cry of fire and rush ?" 'I'd stand upon my seat pull a revolver from my pocket, and shout out that I'd shoot the first man who attempted to crowd or rush. One cool man would check tbe panic in ten seconds." - While the subject was being con tinued the grocer withdrew to the rear end of the store, poured a little powder on a board, and gave three or lour men tbe wink. Directly there was a bright flash, yells of "fire !" and "powder I" and every manprang up and rushed. Hope well didn't spring up and talk of shooting. On the contrary, he fell over a lot of baskets piled up be tween him and the door, got up to plow his way over a rack of brooms. and when reached the sidewalk he was on all fours, white as a ghost and so frightened that he never ooked back until he reached the opposite side bf the street When to HeU. . Without assuming to know more than others when the farmer should get rid of his - crops, and whether it is better to hold on to them await ing a rise to what they are at one time selling at, our idea is to sell as soon as the crops are ready for mar ket for the best price that can be obtained for them. We think it even strange that there should be any doubt about this, or that any one who is asked for advice would hesitate a moment what answer to make, for there is no doubt in the world, that as a general rule, the man who turns hia money around the quickets makes money the fast est in the long run, and this is as true in farming as in any other pur suit Once in a while one makes more money by holding on, and in theory it seems best to hold on. There are always a large number who must sell as soon as the crops are ready. They have to sell for any price they can get in order to meet accounts long since due. This rushing in of crops has a tendency, or ought to have, in making low ? rices. But this is only theoretical, t is found by experience that, in commercial phrase, these anticipa tions are always "discounted." Ex perience shows that there is very rarely any greater stock in the grain trade that finds its way into market than is about in fair de mand. Tbe only chance to make much money by holding on is when . ne has means at hand to control large lots, and thus in a measure be able to control his own prices ; but this happens so rarely that it is a consideration the average farmer has nothing todo with. - ' Tbe Flood la the) Delaware?.
