NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. John Kochel, of Lancaster county, who was captured a* a "wild man" a few months ago, is at present in the county hospital undergoing treatment for one of the most remarkable cases of catalepsy known. He cannot close or open his eyes, cannot move an arm or turn hid head, is speechless, but can eat and can walk in an awkward way. If his head, arm, leg or eyelid is moved it remains so until changed to another position by some person. If he is placed in a chair he cannot move from it. The Parker Phoenix of last week said: The past week two more petty robberies have taken place in this town on tne flat. The shoe store of W. L Taylor and the Stationery store of T. j. Blair's were broken in to and a few articles purloined. The boy thieves entered the shoe store through a window in rear of the building and retired by unbolting the door. Only a few things were taken. At the stationery store the boys were a little more bold and smashed a large pane of glass in the front door, by which opening they entered. Only a few small articles were taken. Both money drawers were rifled but the youths failed to secure even a nickle. Suspicion rests upon a party of three boys, one a former resident of this town, and two cronies. Should they be seen by the officers they will be arrested on eight. A correspondent, signing himself "Observer" writes as follows to the Mercer Dispatch of the 11th inst.: "It is generally asserted and believed that the Catholic Church of St. Au gustine, Fla., is the oldest church edi fice in America. If any reliance is to be placed in inscriptions, this is a mistake. On the front of a brick church in New Castle, ia placed this inscription: 'B. C. 1848.' From this it would appear that New Castle is entitled to the honor usually accorded Vo St. Augustine." There are no licensed bars in Kit tanning and the thirsty denizens of that burg have invented a great scheme to secure liquid refreshments, A club has been formed and a portion of a house leased. The entrance is on the first floor and beyond that none but a very select few are permit ted to go. The Bearcher for a phlegm cutter enters the room down stairs and on a table finds a number of small cards. He takes one of these and writes on it "one beer" or "one whis ky" as he may desire, and putting it on the shelf of an elevator, accompa nied by the requisite amount of cash, rings a bell. Instantly the shelf dis appears up the elevator and in a mo ment comes down with the desired drink which the customer swallows and goes out. He sees no person during the operation and cannot swear who conducted the upper end of the transaction and all is lovely. The fellow who invented this plan has a great head and will look through the bars of the county jail if he lives long euough. Mr. John Brackin, and the firm of Brackin & Co., merchant tailors, Greenville, have made an assignment tor the benefit of their creditors. The Progress says their property will j much more than coyer their indebted ness. Mr. Brackin is largely inter ested in undeveloped oil territory in Kentucky upon which he failed to realize in time to meet obligations due Judgments were filerl at Mercer on Saturday against them lor $12,- 142 04 Some fellow who recently operated in Lawrence county seems to have a great idea of a practical joke. He represented himself as a horse buyer and contracted for horsed to be deliv ered at Lowellville on a certain day. He paid no money, however. Ho engaged cars at Lowellville to ship the horses east, and contracted with the landlord of the hotel there to fur nish dinner for the men who brought horses tor him, at his expense. On the day appointed the horses were taken to the place for delivery, but he was not there. Some thirty or forty took dinner at somebody's expense— probably the landlord's—and took their horses home again. Just how the sharper gets recompensed for his time and trouble it would be hard to see, but perhaps he got paid in fun. About a dozen persona were called before the Burgess of Indiana on Sat urday last, charged with shooting in the borough. They had been shoot ing sparrows with Flobert rifles and it cost them three dollars each. The fluting machines which are to be erected at the Dithridge Glass fac tory at Beaver Falls and which were invented by Mr. Harry W6ods of that establishment, are said to be a won der in their way. None of the kind is known to be made except in Ger many, and this is greatly inferior to the Xewßrighton invention inasmuch as the last mentioned machine will do the requirep work in one half the time. It is expected that a barrel of money will be made by Mr. Woods and the Dithridge Bros, who control the invention. William Fawcett, of the firm of Flynn Bros, and Fawcett, of Emlen ton died last Saturday night from the effects of injuries received at the mill some weeks ago. He was buried at Episcopal cemetery at Foxburg. Lemuel Andrews was a member of Co. K., of the famous 100 th Regi ment. He probably received the worst wound in battle ever given a man who subsequently recovered from the effects of the same. At the second battle of Bull Run. Mr. An drews was shot through both lungs, Ho was left on the battlefield for nine days without receiying anv attention, as his comrade believed that he had been killed He was afterwards ta ken to a hospital where he ultimately recovered, and is now enjojing com parative good health.

The breath of life first inhal i ed here seems to assure future great | nees. In this county were born some ot the greatest men the nation had I produced, and also some of the finest ! women, as witness the iollowiog re garding the wife of Justice Miller ol ! Supreme Court of the United States, i as detailed in a special from Wash ington. One of the most interesting figures in Washington social life is Mrs Eli za Winters Miller, wife of the seuior Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Her father was fa mous in the trans-mountain regions of Pennsylvania during the first half of j the century Both of Mrs. Miller's parents were of English birth. Her father, Rev. John Winters, was born near Bristol, received his collegiate education and was ordained pastor of the Baptist Ecclesiastical denomina tion before he came to the United States. Her mother was a Miss Wil son, of Scotch family, born at Xew castle-on-Tyne. When the worthy pastor came to America he struck out for the trans-Allegheny regions of Pennsylvania During these early family peregrin ations Mrs. Miller was born at a post hamlet in Butler county, Pennsylva nia, which bore the romantic and high-sounding designation of Zelieno ple, so named by the proprietor after his wife. Eigbr months of her infant existance was spent there, when the family and effects were transferred to Beaver, in the adjoining county. In the crude state of things on that fron tier settlement of Pennsylvania, the man of God found the ailments of the body more pressing than the needs of the soul. He entered into the prac tice of medicine, which he pursued for some time. Returning to the pulpit, he moved on westward to Warren, 0., where he expounded for ten years the doctrines transplanted from Eng land to America by Roger Williams. While in this section Miss Eliza Win ters attended school with Miss Lu cretia Rudolph, now the widow of James A. Garfield, twentieth Presi dent of the United States. The pas toral responsibility of Rev. John Winters again shifted westward, this time to Knoxville, 111., at about 1826, aud then to Garrettsville, and, finally advanced in years the good pastor returned to Sharon, Pa , where he gave op the ghost, being then the oldest Baptist preacher in the United States. While Rev. John Winters was holding forth the Gospel to the peo ple of Warren, Lewis Reeves made the acquaintance of the preacher's daughter. But there was uothing more in that than had transpirired in the young lives of everybody else. The young lawyer set his face to wards the sunset to make a career and a fortune. At Keokuk he made up bis mind to cast his lot with the people and possibilities of that then infant commnaunity. He soon found himself in lucrative practice. His next ambition was a wife and a homo. His thoughts turned to the pastor's daughter. But now instead of living at Warren, the object of his affctions was at Sharon. There was no railroads then in Pennsylvania. One day he appeared at the threshold of the preacher's home and inquired for Miss Winters. He was wel comed into that happy home with maiden warmth by the youDg girl from whom he had parted at War ren. They sat down before the open hearth, where so much love had been warmed into being and energy in the olden times, and told of their lives since they last met. He spoke of his professional success and of his need for a partner in busioess. Ho mentioned two applicants, one "Sam" Miller, a young K-mtuckiau, of am bition, ability and industry, and the other, "Charley" Phelps, a young Vermont lawyer. He said he favor ed the Kentuckian. She, with fine and unerring feminine intuition, urg ed his cause. From tha f . moment Lewis Reeves said the firm shall be Reeves and Miller. But there was another partnership be had come to propose. It was the partnership which is for life and etern ity. The young maid did not object even sudden as was the proposal, as she had known Lewis Reeves as an ambitious and honorable acquain tance. But to think of marriage with out the pleasures of a season of ex pectancy seemed like the loss of a large share of happiness incident to that emotional period which precedes the consummation. But tha lover urged the fatigues and dicomforts of two long weeks of journey from Keo kuk to Sharon. There was force in that argument to the mind of a sensi ble young woman like Eliza Winters. So it was an affirmative verdict which she gave to the lover's pleadings. The year 1845 witnessed this happy un ion; the bride was yet in her middle teens. The lawyer with a wife returned to Keokuk and settled down to professional advancement and home joys. The young Kentuck ian was taken into business associa tion and the new firm of Reeves & Miller became prominent throughout that whole region. In the confiden ces of home Reeves often extolled to bis wife the high character and abili ties of 'Sam' Miller. His unerring hon esty in managing the millions of dol lars in claims managed by the firm so impressed him that in the last mo ments of a sudden and fatal illness : in 1354, he made him executor of his estate and the guardian of the inter eats of his wife. The wife of Samuel F. Miller, a Miss Ballinger, of a noted Kentucky family of that name, with whom Mr. and Mrs. Reeves were on the closest relations of affection, was then in the "last stages pulmonary dis ease. As the storms of the winter, following the death of Mr Reeves, were setting in, Mrs. Miller too pass ed away. The widower went on with the business of the firm and the widow returned east to her parental home, leaving her estate in the hands of her late husband's partner, where he had placed it in his dying moments. Three years after this sad breaking np of families and separation of friends the former partner in the busi ness firm of Reeves & Miller, made suit to the widow, who wa3 then in the prime of her womanhood and beauty at 20, while he was just 48. She was on a visit to Garnetts yillo, 111., where her father had a brother, who was Clerk of the county court Here her marriage took place in 1857, which seemed almost like renewing tho old partnership. The couple returned to Keokuk, where the widow of Lewis Reeves, as the bride of Samuel F. Miller, was once more heartily welcomed. Mauv times the people of lowa tried to force civic houors upon her husband, first as National Representative and then as United States Senator. When consulted she invariably said: "No; why trifle your life away ou such un satisfactory honors." Toadeptation of citizens she said; "There is just I one place I will consent to my hus bond accepting, and that is a seat on the Supremo Bench." Ia 1862, or two years after, Abraham Lincoln placed him in that high place o f bin devoted wilV-'.j "mbition. Mrs Miller has no living children. Memorial Day.
