On being brought into the presence of the body a strange scene (weaned; the old lady fell on the corpse, kissed and addressed it by ,every term of loving endearment, couched in the language of a bygone generation.- He was her only love; she knew that he hid not forsaken. her, The old woman and the young Man had been betrothed sixty years before. The lover had disappeared mysterious ly, and she had kept faithful during that long 'interval. Time had stood still with the dead man but had left its-mark with the living woman. The miners who were present were a rough set, but very gently and with tearful • eyes they removed the old lady to her house, and the same night her faithful spirit rejoined that of her- long-lost lover." .Church union, SETELLYO van Was.—ln the Winter of 1864, Ponx Mouritain, in the Shenan doah Valley, was full of game, and Pederals arid Confederates used to shoot squirrels and trap rabbits when off picket duty..-.
