'P. 11ELMBOLD rtto ALLENTOWN, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 15 1871 rum MARSHES "So you really are determined not go with us on the excursion this afternoon V' " I really am determined, as I have already remarked ;" and Q UI!) young lady certainly looked very determined indeed, as she stood firmly planted on her two little feet by the window, and drummed emphatically on the pane. John Rutledge stood Just behind her, and looked at her in a half-sad, half-amused con dition of mind ; looked at her, too, so earn estly that she presently flushed up to the tips of her ears, and turned upon him like a tor mented kitten. "I wish you would not stand staring at me so, Mr. Rutledge: It's very unpleasant." The young man flushed in his turn, for her tone was unmistakably in carucst,and lie said, " I will not look at you, Miss Gordon,since it annoys you—although I had no intention of , staring, as you term it ; besides, I know very well why you will not go with us." "Do you 1 Well, I'm sure I don't care. I don't go because I-don't choose to go ; I sup pose I can do as I like." " I perceive the real reason for your not go ing coming up the steps," rejoined Rutledge; "so I will net trouble you longer. Good morning, Miss Gordon." And stepping to the door, he took his brit and passed out, just as a servant admitted atoll, stylish gentleman, at whom he certainly stared with any thing but a friendly glance. Lillie Gordon had-started forward at hislast remark, but, seeing from the window its oc casion, she held her tongue, and awaited tho entrance of the visitor in a very disturbed frame of mind. The gentleman entered the parlor .unan nounced, as though he were familiar with the premises, and accosted Lilly warmly before taking a scat by her side. She was so evidently perturbed by some thing that he remarked upon it ; but obtaining no satisfaction, he presently said, "I have to leave town this afternoon on unexpected bus iness, and shall remain away a couple of days ; so we will have to postpone our ride." " Oh, well," replied the young lady, " it is of no consequence ; I can go on the excursion which I intended to give up for the ride. I dare, say I shall enjoy myself quite as well." This reply was certainly not calculated to gratify the young miin,and its effect was quite perceptible. lle shifted his position uneasily. "I am really very sory, Lillie, but I must go to Boston by the three o'clock train. Is that —Rutledge fellow going on the excursion ?'' "Really, George, I don't:keep any account of the movements of 'that Rutledge fellow,' as you elegantly term him ; and I can not see what 114 going or not going can have to do with you—or mc." " Well excuse me. I ant always so annoyed when I tneet.him here that I can hardly re strain myself. Let us drop him. Now about that ride : this is Wednesday, and I shall be back by Friday. Suppose we take it then ?" Lillie laughed—a pretty, coquettish laugh enough—and rising, said, " Wait till Friday comes I I never could make up my mind half so far ahead ; and, besides, your Important business might detain you in Boston, you lino w. I would not like you to break two engagements with me the same week." " You arc too hard with me, Lillie ; but I see you arc not In a pleasant mood this morn ing, so I must submit." No woman likes to be told she is not in a pleasant mood, and Lillie showed her. entire j disapproval of the remark by rising, making a very sweeping and certainly graceful bow, and saving, " Good morning, Mr. HartieV. A pleasant journey to you, and a pleasant mood to me when you return:" And then she disappeared through the door, end ran singing up stairs. Mr. Hartley sat for a moment looking de cidedly azgrieved ; and then, with a mutter of something which he never learned in the cat echism, possessed himself of his hat and cane, and departed. Lillie Gordon had not been spoiled, but she had been permitted by her parents to remain just sufficiently under the control of her animal spirits and her little willful ways to keep her out of the influence of any other control what- CIMEI She was nlw eighteen ; and having followed her own guidance in the matter of her love-af fairs as she alwayshad in most others, she had engaged herselfto Mr. George Hartley, and in formed her father of the fact, to that worthy gentleman's great dissatisfaction. Not that there was any thing against the person in question, wl I was well known in society, end who was currently reputed to be possessed of independent means, arising from a large In heritance wtll invested. But Mr. Gordon was a businessman, a merchant in high stand ing, and he did not relish the idea of giving his only daughter to an idler—one who, con fessedly, was engaged in no pursuit whatso ever, other than the lavish expenditure of his large income. Mrs. Gordon was a nonentity, except in the fashionable world ; and after dropping a few tears ovir her Cam,liter's will ingness to leave the family roof, she subsided into a gentle commiseration of herself as a much aggrieved personage, and relieved her mind by loudly boasting the many virtues of appearance and ptree of her daughter's choice. John Rutledge occupied the rather disagree able position of a lover who had never dared to acknowledge himself, yet could not tear himself away from the object of his regards, though ho was forced to consider her as the property of another. As he bad never spoken, Lillie tolerated him—especially as the rising young artist, whose name was on everybody's tongue in society, was not by any means a disagreeable companion at art-receptions and In the studios. The engagement was, after all, a matter of very late date and as Mr. Hartley was obliged to be away from town a portion of every week on important business connected with his investments in New Eng land, and as John Rutledge was an old ac quaintance, and "everybody's friend," there had been as yet none of the scandal customary in such cases on account of his frequent visits to the house, or his appearance with Miss Lib 13=3 lc In public At precisely three o'clock in the afternoon of the day whose events we are chronicling the Boston exgress train left the depot and proceeded duly on its journey , but if any friend of Mr. George Hartley had been seek ing him among its passengers, he would have sought in vain, for we have It on the best of evidence that ho failed to put in, an appear ance at that time and place. At the same hour the bright and dashing little yacht Fairy set sail from one of the up town piers on the orth River, and, with a fair Wind, glided beautifully out toward the bay. On the quarter-deck of the yacht were grouped in picturesque and mutually agree able attitudes about twenty young ladies and gentlemen, while in the bows a charming band made the air melodious ; and amidships a heterogenous gathering .of wine, hampers of provisions, and boxes of cigars promised oven more than " feast of reason and a flow of soul ;" and seated on an afghan, and leaning over the side of the yacht in friendliest com munion, were Mr. John Rutledge and that . wickebest of young coquettes—Miss Lillie Gordon. It is not the design of the present writer to condone Miss Lillie's fault In thus comforting herself during the absence of her lover from her side ; but we may, privately state that that young lady had been seriously displeased at the coolness of Mr. Hartley's nuinner in the matter of breaking engagements on sev eral occaskns, and had chosen this method designedly with the hope of bringing him to book, and indicating to him a path for Ills fu ture pursuit more congenial to her own feel ings. Add to this the fact, known to this writer, that Mr. John Rutledge had by his good conduct, taken n position in Miss Llthe's esteem of no trifling importance, although she herself was hardly aware of it, and there arc but few of our young lady readers who will not be able to find excuse for her—particular ly when they have read the remainder of this story. The day was full of the beauty of early au tumn. The clear blue sky framed in the fleecy cloud-pictures; the soft and tender sunlight gleamed silvery and bright upon the pure white sails ; the great city, with its hun dred steeples, faded away in the distance ; Staten Island and its pleasant homesteads de lighted the eye ; and so down the " Kills" the Fairy floated swiftly and gracefully toward the spot which was to be the scene of their afternoon merrymaking. A couple of hours' sail brought the yacht in front of a dense grove of old forest trees ; and there, hauling into the bank, the ancluir was thrown over; the sails came clattering down on the deck, and the party disembarked, full of glee, and making the ancient grove re sound with laughter and with song. Seated under the brave trees, while the fresh west ern wind trembled musically among the branches, and the many-hued leaves, came fluttering down into their laps, they discussed wine and viands,drank toasts and sang songs, and were as merry and happy as could be reasonably expected. John Rutledge gave himself up with dear delight to the generous pleasure of the passing moments ; and if at times the black vision of their fleetingness Caine to disturb him, he put it aside, and dwelt only on the blissful present, consider ing not that this must doubtless be the last occasion wheh he could thus tranquilly enjoy to its fullness the charm that the graceful girl so subtly threw about him. A loud whistle, apparently proceeding front a locomotive, at length startled the air, and caused one of the young ladies to ask what it was. The answer was simple enough—that it was the engine on a railroad only a mile back of the grove. " And does that road go to the city'" asked the inquisitive young lady aforesaid. "It goes to Jersey City," was the reply. And COIIVerSIO.IOII and song and laughter went on, none dreaming or how much im portance to two of tho party were those simple questions and answers. After a while the party separated into couples as 13 the custom for such occasions made and provided ; and John and Lillie, like the rest, strolled away by themselves. Now whether it was .Lillie's remarkable good spirits, or the juice of the grape that completely destroyed Mr. Rutledge's self-pos session, it is difficult to say ; but certain it is that that young man took advantage of the occasion, and the comparative seclusion afforded them in their stroll, to make, in the most unmistairab!e and unwarrantable man. ncr, a deciaration of love to his fair compan ion ; and as if his passion, which had been so long bottled up, rejoiced at its escape from bondage, he poured foyth the wildest rhap : sodies on his love for her, completely ignor ing the existence nail prior claims of the absent one—a course of conduct which could not fail to impress unfavorably the well-regulated mind of the one to whom his words were ad dressed. • At first, unable to stem the torrent of his passionate language, Lillie stood silent and amazed, or apparently so ; but at length, when he paused to take breath, and for •a moment gave her an opportunity, she did not hesitate in her reception of this unexpected onslaught. Stamping her pretty foot upon the dead haves beneath her, she said, passionately : " Mr. Rutledge, I tun ashamed of you. To take advantage of my kindness to you, when you know that lam engaged to another ! I would not have believed it or you. Now, Sir, you can go back to the party, and say I am going home by the train. I'll. not speak to you again—never." And so saying, she turned from his side, and hurried off in the direction whence she hail heard the sound of the whistle. Rutledge ran - niter her a few steps, called to her, beg ging her to forgive hint, and then, as she continued rapidly on her course, returned to the yacht, intending to tell their friends that Miss Gordon had concluded to return by the train, and that he should accompany her. And with that design we will leave him for the present. Lillie hurried on precipitately, little heeding the nature of the course she was following, or the mapy obstacles of root, rock, and dead limb that obstructed her way, so fully wits her mind absorbed with the occurrence of the preceding moments. While her face burned, and a variety of sensations, occasioned by the mad advances of poor John Rutledge, troubled her mind, she thought little of her surroundings, and won only recalled to herself—to lose herself more completely at the saute time—by slid. den ly tripping over a tangled root, and being plunged headforemost into a gully worn by I some little brook, now dried up and sunk Into the earth. The hole, or pit, wits not deep, but Lillie hail lost consciousness ; and when John Rut ledge passed within a few yards of the spot ten minutes later,•on his way to the cars, he little imagined that the one lie sought lay bruised and senseless within reach of the sound of his footsteps. Hurrying over to the railroad station, he diseovered that a train had just Felt, while another'would not go out until late in the evening. Ile pushed his inquiries, involving n description of 31iss Lillie, in every direc tion ; but it was not for same time that he finally learned that no young lady had taken passage off the train on that occasion. When he hail satisfied himself of this fact, beyond a question, he became really troubled as to Lillie's whereabouts. It was. just pos sible that she might have. stopped at souse farm-house, and accordingly he spent consid erable more time searching. ant inquiring among these, but with no result—she had not been seen. Then he because really alarmed, for the land about was marshy, and extended to a great distance In all directions, and he feared she might have lost herself. How his search resulted will be.told in the sequel. 1 The yacht sailed without them, every one eotn;aenting on the extraordinary freak of Miss Lillie Gordon, and wondering what Mr. 1 GeorgeMartley would think o f the matter when he should hear of it, which they were sure he Mould, though one and all of them as serted they would be the last ever to communl cate such ,a disgraceful and improper proceed. "for the sake of her pair mother, you knosN." And 59 the yacht sped on its homeward way ; the sun sank slowly down ; the bide sky turned gr4ty, and then black, and became studded with stars, as is its -wont; the moon rose up in richest fullness ; and this last, shining fairly in the face of -the silent figure lying out there alone in the Jersey marshes, at length, with its own peculiar influence, brought her again to life. Slowlv she ruised herself to her feet, wilinbef and aching, and, passing her hand through her hair, naked herself the old question—where she was. After n little hericattered senses came to her, and she remembered. BM she liod now no idea of Cie direction of the railroad ; her limbs were bruised. and torn, Ilea her impulse wits vory strong to sit down neain and erv. But she was a plucky girl, and coneirdo I to slake an i-ffort to gain the depot, which she , upifilseil to be not far away ; and, are 'r tingly, set forward on her lonely journey, pick;n4 her steps carefully by the moonlight. Thus she had 'sallied some distance—how far she hail no idea—when RIT saw', a long way off, n dint and flickering light, and toward this she hastened wi th what speed her tired limbs would permit. It seemed a very long way indeed ; but at length she drew nearer to the light—near enough to see that it proceeded from a small house, and situated very near the water, on which she could see the moonbeams glistening 119 it seemed to her, cold and mockingly. Presently she heard sounds as of hammer ing, apparently issuing from the house; and at length she reached it, and could look into the window whence proceeded the light—a small oil lamp on a table in a room otherwise devoid of furniture, and unoccupied by any living thing. Still she heard the same regular hammer ing ; and now a strange 'tread come over her. Unformed and mysterious imaginings dis turbed her mind, and she was on the point of fleeing from the place, when a door in the room opened, and a man entered from another Mart of the house. Ilia back was toward her, but she felt n thrill, for the figure seemed familiar ; he carried something heavy with the assistance of another who followed him. It was a small chest, which they placed upon the floor; and then they opened a trapdoor, and then—Lillie screamed, shrieked at the highfst pitch of her voice, for the one who had first entered the room bad turned his face toward her, and she saw that it was George Hartley. The scream was hardly uttered when a coarse, heavy hand was over her mouth, and she felt herself rudely grasped by strong arms, while a harsh voice muttered, "If you speak or move again I'll cut your heart out." Then the speaker sounded a whistle which he held in his hand, and which was evidently a signal for the two men inside the house pushed the box hastily down the trap, which they closed. But now a loud shout"was heard near by ; several lights appeared, and in a moment tu.re Lillie's captor was dashed to the ground by a strong arm, and she found herself held tight in—well yes—the embrace of—John Rutledge. Men rushed rapidly—half a dozen at least -into the house ; there was crashing of glass; oaths, screams, and n general melee ; and of all of it Lillie could make nothing, except that she had been saved from some dire disaster— and by John Rutledge, the man who had so grossly insulted her by his impertinent allu sions to her lower, who—could it be possible? —she-now saw dragged from the house, strug gling and cursing, handcuffed, clothes torn, and in a generally dilapidated condition. Five minutes after she was seated in a wa gon, with John's arm supporting her, as they jolted over the rough road, and then she could stand it no. longer. " Oh„Tohn ! what does it all mean ?" She had never called him John before ; but suppressing en exclamation of, delight. and the wild impulse to turn a somersault over the horse's head, he said, quietly "It ineans,Lillie, that Mr. George Hartley is the leador of a gang of counterfeiters; that you happened somehow—God knows how—to straggle upon his den ; that the man on watch outside saw and seized you ; that you scream ed ; that I who was looking for you, and the officers, who were looking for him, came up in the nick of time to save you from—what I nate not think of." And here poor John broke down ; and IL is on record that this outrageous little flirt of a Lillie Gordon said, thereupon, " Don't cry, John," and that site even put up het:handker chief to see that he obeyed her orders then and there. Great joy was there to the house of Gordon that night, when, at about midnight, Mr. Rut ledge maile his appearance with the lost one. Great surprise was there in society next day when Mr. George Rartley was duly arraigned in the proper court for counterfelting—not greenbacks, good people, but-the sterling old gold and silver of this republic, in use in those happy days when we were children. Great fluttering was there not many weeks after, u hen Mr. anti Mrs. John Rutledge (the latter nee Lillie Gordon) made their first sp. Pearance in society ; what time Mr. George Hartley was diligently pursuing the mysteries of stone-breaking at his new villa on tho Hud- And those three persons wal never forget, so long ns they live, the eventful night they spent an " the marshes." GROW MELEE What's thoneweet grief i• Each minute teems a new one.—Steak. There are many bitter vexations that harass business men,' which arc of no more profit to 'them than possibly to try . the amount of pa tience and forbearance they arc blessed with. Many writers have given vent to all sorts of feelings against bores ; indeed, the subject has become so exhimsted that "'bores" have almost become classified. Yet there le one class of bores that pester so universally that it is a wonder they escaped the notice of these writers. If there la any one, male or other wise, who has any audacity, or who contemns the restraints of business or privacy, it is the Hoe -)11 Agent. My attention has been fixed on this hull. vidual, on account of the number of these par ties who are continually bothering somebody, and are, I claim, no source of benefit to them whatever. The works that are generally sold by sub scription are of an inferior sort, and as is the case in most instances most of the profit is to the seller. Among the most prominent books that arc placed in the bands of agents, is the Bible. 1 have seen editions sold for the enor mous price of fifty dollars, whose real value was but three and four dollars. The printing, paper and binding, is of the lowest order. A flashy covering, abounding in gilt illumine tioris seem to draw the eye, and the book of hooks is very often bought on account of Its exterior appearance, as a mere parlor orna— ment. Should a great man suddenly die, like Charles Dickens, some one picks up scrapi of incidents and facts of the person, clips from the pages of his works and in this way, one month after death, his whole life is pretended to be laid before the public. • There aro good works sold by agents, I do not doubt it for a moment, nor the character and well meaning , of some agents, but the fact is, those with whom 1 have come in contact, have been so bold and impertinent that I have a sort of horror for all of them. Nor am I alone in this opinion. But a day ago aprom inent lawyer Was standing under an umbrella in the rain for fully a half hour, and when asked the reason of it, replied, "there is a confound book agent in my office." I was sitting in the office of Doctor K. one day, when is Indy, very prerumeßslng in her appearance and exceedingly chaste in her be havior, entered the. room. We, of course dropped our pipes, and the door was opened to allow the smoke to make a rapid exit. The doctor saluted her with a very polite " How do you do ?" (possibly more polite than usual) ; the lady simply bowed low. The doctar slw a patient and as a matter of course I withdrew to a private room. In a very modest manner she informed the doctor of the object of her interview, saying " I am the agent for a monthly newspaper (naming it)." The doctor said he thought not at present. She then exhibited a weekly paper and soli cited his name. All the time she was smiling very bewitchingly. The doctor afterwards said, when she began to look so handsome he almost consented. Finding him not wishing any newspapers, she said she was the agent also for an excellent pen, and only twenty-flue cents a box. The doctor could not withstand this, and paid for the box and was hum. bugged. Fora lady to.undcrtake such work, it does seem rather unbecoming, and as though they were entitled to favor just because they are wo men. It is true that It takes a bold man Wally no to a fair creature, yet having tried it once, he will find that their beautiful features will be horribly contracted, and that after all ho had refused something a good deal lower than an angel. Quite an amusing incident occurred in a, Lawyer's office—not many miles from this place. Lawyer has an irascible temper, and when provoked to wrath easily portrays It by the redness of his face. `l'Le is a very busy man and oftentimes so fastened to his duties that he must be spoken - to twice be fore one can gain an audience with him. Not long ago a very elderly gentleman quietly en tered the office, and as dignified as the Presi dent of a bank or of a railroad corporation, spoke to —, saying, " are you Mr.— V "Yes, sir," promptly answered the lawyer, "take a chair." "Mr. B— at Easton," proceeded iheelderly gentleman, "gave me your name." Yes,oli, yes, I know him well," said the lawyer. • "So, I thought I would call,to see you." "Well, sir, that was right !" said the lawyer, interrupting him. " And see," continued the elderly gentleman, "if you would not subscribe to this work," pro ducing a book. "No, sir," thundered the lawyer, and immediately resumed his work. After the elderly gentleman had departed, some other words were spoken, which I ivill nut record. If I ever saw disappointment and defeat de- , pitted upon the countenance of any one, it was on the face of Dr. E. the dentist. Poor Doctor is always complaining of the slack ness of business and the dullness of the times. I have not had a job for three whole days, ho remarked to me. Be patient and wait, I re plied. "Oh, be patient and be hanged," ho did not have time to finish before the face of a lady was seen through the glass of the office door. how happy he was, in that moment when she said "Thank you," (as he offered her a chair,) and displayed a row of teeth, whose posture resembled the tomb stones in a neglected cemetery. He fancied, here was a customer for a full upper and lower set, but, alas, she was only an agent and desired to ex tract money frotn him for a book when his gas bill is overdue and the live per cent.already added. Although generally very good natured he was so chagrined that lie could not refrain from saying " no, madam, I have more books than a dog can eat." It must be acknowleged that it is a hard matter to instruct a book agent in the manner he should approach, people when they arc busy. To buyers it would be preferable, if they waited until they were called upon. Then, probably they ,would find buyers plenty, that is such as really wanted to buy. THE COAL TRADE OF 1870 The whole product of Anthracite Coal sent to market In 1870 was 14,840,782 tons, against 13,221,386 in 1860, giving an increase of 1,625,380 tons in 1870. The product of Semi. Anthracite in 1870 was 521,065 tons, against 430,301 in 1809, giving an increase of 91,304 tons, making the increase of both kinds in 1870, 1,716,000, tons. . _ The supply of Bituminous, including For eign importations, moved towards the sea— board in 1870, was 4,589,148 tons against 4,656,509 tons. This shows a decrease of 67,- 421 tons, making the total Stipply of coal sent towards the seaboard market, out of the im mediate vicinity of the collieries, 19,957,585 tons, making the increase of all kinds in 1870, 1,049,269. We have no data to give the probable con sumption of Bituminous coal in the different regions; but in all the Anthracite Regions it will amount to not less than one ton in four sent to market. This would give a local con sumption of Anthracite and Semi-Anthracite in the counties of Schuylkill, Carbon, Luzerne, Northumberland, Columbia, and Dauphin, of , 3,842,870 tons. Add this to the supply of , Anthracite and Semi-Anthracite sent to mar ket, and it would run the whole production 1 of coal in these counties in 1870 to 19,211,313 tons, which would give an increase in the , quantity mined in 1870 of 3,493,010 tons, sent to market and consumed in the coal regions ; but from more correct data we arc satisfied that the home consumption was underrated last year. On the same data that we give the consumption this year of one ton consumed at home for every 4 tons sent to market, it would give 8,412,444 tons, ir stead of 2,500,- 000 consumed last year; this would give an Increase mined In 1870 of 2,580,556 tons of Anthracite. The consumption of coal in the engines at the Collieries is immense. Out of 930,100 tons home consumption in Schuylkill county, not less than a half million tons were con sumed In the engines used for mining and preparing the coal for market. We therefore sum up the trade as follows ; Total Anthracite end Semi-Anthracite sent to market. In 1510... .. ....... ... In 1509 Total lama..

TILE FIRST SETTLER OF THE Yo-Sammt.-- Mr. Hatching, of the Yo-Semite Valley, is at Washington making another effort to obtain legislation to enable him to keep possession of the homestead of which the State of Cal ifornia claims the right to deprive him. Mr. Hutchings was the first white settler in the Yo-Semite. He made a bridle path down the precipice into the valley, built a house, trans ported furniture and provisions fifty miles on the backs of mules, opened a rude but com fortable hotel, and by his .writings in the magazines and newspapers made the grandeur and beauty of the valley knOwn to the world. The land was unsurveyed, and Mr. Hutchings could tint, therefore, secure a title to a home stead of 100 acres under the law, and before a survey was made the United States presented the Yo-Semite to the State of California, dis regarding the rights of Mr. Hutchings, and an other settler, who subsequently settled in the valley. The State has appointed Com missioners to manage the valley, and they have informed Mr. Hutchings that he has no rights there, and no claim by which he can bold his farm, gardens, hotel, dwelling, and other improvements, on which he has bestow. ed seven years' labor. He came to Congreu for relief last session, and the Public Lands Committee reported a bill giving him *patent to his homestead, but it was defeated, because some one suggested that he might establish a beer garden in the Valley. Mr. Hutchings is a man of culture, refinement, and literary accomplishment, who would be less likely to peddle beer than many who ridiculed his claim ; and who appreciates the wonders of Yo-Semito far more than three-fourths of the tourists whom he entertains. IT is RELATED of an estimable and pious lady; whose exertions In every work of chari ty and benevolence had endeared her to the community, that on her way to Sunday school one morning she saw several boys seated in a doorway playing cards, one of whom was a Sunday school scholar. She stopped and In sisted that they should accompany her to church. After some persuasion the three oldest consented, but the youngest, a lad of some six years of age, persistendly refused. "Why won't you come my boy ?" Bald the lady. "It Is very wrong for you to refuse." "But I dont want to go." " What is the.reason ?" The impatience of the little fallow waxed desperate, and in an Indignant voice be ex• claimed : " Would you go to Sunday school with a handful of trumps like that?" SCENE at a meeting at Preston, England: Take thy hat off," said one fellow In the crowd to another in front of him. "What for ?" " Why, aw cannot see." " Well," replied the other, "It aw takes my hat off thou'll he worse 'off than ever. My My pure (hair) is thirteen inches long, an' it stone straight up. I put my hat on It to keep it down." ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN YEARS OLD. —The Decorah, lowa, Republican tells of the death there on the 7th inst. of Mrs. Poll Mc• Inytre, who was born in Brunswick, New Jersey, September 8, 1750. She always en joyed good health until she was ninetyllve years old, when she bad an attack of brain fever. In her hundredth year she removed to lowa. the was twice married, the last time when she was seventy-five years old to the husband who survives her. Her appetite for food, always above medium, was unim paired to the last. She so far retained her sight as to be able to read fine print without the aid of glasses, and her healing was as good as the average of persons at seventy-llve. During the past summer she made daily ram bles through the fields and groves of the farm on which she lived, and was able at the time of the accident to walk a mile. She was In vited out Christmas at a neighbor's whereshe was unusually jovial, entertaining the COM pany with story and song. The next day she was quite insane, in which slate she remained until the Thursday following, when upon being left alone ten or fifteen minutes, her clothes ignited front the stove, burning her so badly as to cause her death after eight days of suffering. It is believed, that she inhaled the flame. A Prawn MACHINE AT BAN FRANCISCO. The newly invented "flying machine" was put into operation the other day, with considera ble success. When everything was tightened and got In good running order, and the pro- peller arranged to cause elevation, it was just 124 o'clock. The fire for raising steam was then kindled, and in one minds and a quarter steam was opened. At 12.47 P. M. the ma- chine was cut loose, and the propellers started. She then rose most gracefully in the air, amid the cheers of the crowd who had gathered to witness the ascension. The machine was guided by cords attached to both ends of the balloon, and in the hands of persons on the ground. She ascended about fifty feet and sailed along about a block, when she was pulled down to have her bolter replenished. Again she arose, this time to a height of 200 feet. All the machinery connected with It worked to the perfect satisfaction of the inventor, who intends to place it on public exhibition at some place, of which notice will be given. The name given her is " America." 7bns 13.631.747 to 1,710.690 tons MItEl. JESSIE FEEMONT.—A Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press in sketching a reception given by Mrs. Grant thus notices Mrs. Jessie Fremont : " One of the most distinguished women who paid her respects to Mrs. Grant, and honored the large assembly, was Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont, the better part of the great " Pathfinder," of Pacific Railroad fame.
