A colored woman who figured in an important but lowly position in connection with the breaking out ol the Rebellion lives at 742 Sycamore street Camden. She is 62 years old and has a remarkable memory and relates important incidents as though they occurred but yesterday. She is known as Jane Fossil, but she de clared that she preferred the name of Hannah Bell Douglass, which was given her when a slave, bj' her mass ter, a wealthy Virginia planter, at Harper's Ferry, Va. In speaking of the breaking out of the war, she said: "While we were all at church one Sunday night I was then 20 years old, word passed around that John Brown and twelve others had reached the town, and had takeu possession of the great gun works and held controleof them The colored people rejoiced, but we could not speak out loud, but met in groups alter church to discuss the matter. "We went to bed, feeling that there would be trouble, and when we awoke the next morning the place was filled with Democrats. They came by thousands from all parts of the State. Every kind ot a wagon and train was loaded with the Southern gentlemen and tlieii helpers. "John Brown and his little body of men held their ground until 2 o'clock on Monday afternoon when he was overpowered. The Demo crats knew that Brown was coming becaube one of his supposed sympa thizers betrayed him, and they were waiting for the word when he would arrive. The Republicans were nol aware of his presence or they were afraid of the army of Democrats Had they made a determined stand there would have been a fair chance for Mr Brown. After he was cap-* tured his son, unknown to the jailers at Charlestown, visited him daily. "My duty was to look after Mrs Brown, a kind, motherly woman, who was kept in a room at House's Hotel. There were nine guard* about her, and she was not allowed to speak to me, but she showed her appreciation by stroking my face My master selected mc to do the cooking for Mrs. Brown. "We all stood with bared heads ■when they took the body of John Brown from the scaffold,and a great many of us got pieces of the scaffold. I lost my piece about six months ago. "We often repented the words Mr. Brown uttered on the scaffold: •That he could not accomplish any thing more than to start the down fall of slavery, and that a man would die for every hnir in his head.' I was with my master's family ur.til the war tnded, and was among the ."irst ninety slaves emancipated and sent to Philadelphia. We scattered in every direction and sauglit homes among strangers." She now keeps a small shop where she makes a living selling picß and cakes. Mrs. Douglass is an inter esting conversationalist and relates many incidents of Southern life in connection with the early history of tIW war, A long and pleasant fall is predict ed. Our next issue will contain a sketch of the lives of the Republican can» (lidutes. Dr. N.

SI'LI.IVAN, Mo , Aug. 30.—Yes terday evening three children of a widow named Jenkins, while at play went to ft place near the barn to gather eggs. The place was rather out of the way and dangerous, owing to snakes, which are numerous in that region. One child thrust its hand into what it supposed was the hens nest and quickly withdrew it, exclaiming that the hen had pecked its hand. The other two children putin their hands, with the same result, and then set up a loud cry. The mother was at the well with the baby and the alarm so excited her that she left the baby and ran to the assistance of the three children, who it seems, had been bitten by a rattle snake. During the excitement the little babe fell into the well and was drowned*. The three other children died. Atty. Soon ten remarked after the Republican convention, "that Paw celt might possibly lie elected sher iff." This ia a pretty good send off coming from Democratic quarters. Our schools opeucd Monday with Prof. O. L. Davis in charge of the advanced department and Miss Agnes Wrede in charge of the pri mary department. Prof. Davis has acceptably filled the position of principal of our schools for the past two .years and his re-election to that position was a fitting tribute to meritorious work. Miss Wrede is undertaking the work of teaching for the first time this year but is well qualified for her work, is very popu lar with her pupils and has special aptitude for primary instruction. Have you visited the school house since the painters and paper-hangers have finished their work ? If not yon should go down some day. Wo think wo are safe in saying that there are no pleasanter school rooms in the county than these now are. The wood-work has been treated to a coat of fresh paint, and the bare walls have been tastily papered. Altogether the improvements are such as to encourage teachers and pupils, and this year will doubtless be a more prosperous one in school work ou account of more inspiring surroundings. The school board are to be congratulated on the ex cellent condition in which they have placed the school properly. Now let every boy and girl of school age, in the district, attend school every day for the next eight months au.l the work will bo com plete. UINCUNNIng; Holmes* Case. It is probable that the place of trial of Conspirator Holmes will be decided upon by District Attorney Graham in a few days. Special As sistant District Attorney Barlow and Detective Geyer were r lose ted to gether for some time yesterday, and at the conclusion of the conference Mr. Barlow stated that nothing im portant was disclosed. Me said that Geyer simply went over the case in detail. As far as the probability of trying Holmes for murder in this city was concerned Mr. Barlow intimated that the District Attorney would feel better pleased if the news that I'itczel s head head had been exhum ed had not gotten into the newspa pers. In an interview President Fouse, of the Fidelity company, said: "I have not the slightest doubt but that Holmes will be tried and hanged in Pennsylvania. The evi dence here against him has been most carefully collected, and is stronger than that in Indianapolis and Toronto, and infinitely stronger than that in Chicago. The evidence during the trial here will necessarily be confined directly to the Pitezel case itself, but the public will have a chance to catch a glimpse of the true character of the man Holmes. Even should he escape the gallows here, he would still have to run the gauntlet in Toronto and Indian apolis."— Phiia. J'rcss , Sept. 3. PHILADELPHIA, Sept, 3.— The body of Benjamin F. Pitzel whom H. 11. Holmes is accused of having murdered, and which was exhumed last Saturday for the purpose of re moving the skull from the trunk, was dug up again by order of Dis trict Attorney Graham. A portion of one of the legs of the corpse was amputated and parts of the clothing of the dead man were secured for the purpose of making more complete the identification of the remains as that of Pitezel. Little doubt re mains that the grand jury will soon be called upon to indict Holmes for the murder of Pitezel, and that Mrs. Pitezel and that Mrs. Pitezel is to be brought to Philadelphia to identi fy the teeth in the skull and a scar on the leg which was amputated to~ day. As early as seven o'clock this morning the grave digger at the American Mechanics' Cemetery started for the second time to un earth Pitezel's remains. The coffin was removed to a shed and in an hour Dr. Matcrn stepped with a suspicious looked satchel in his hand. It contained part of the right leg of the corpse, which the doctors had amputated, and portions of the dead man's coat and t—users. District Attorney Graham had tl.e leg amputated to add to the evidence that the body is unmistak ably that of Pitezel. For this pur pose the skull was removed last Saturday, as the peculiar marked teeth of Pitezel will offer almost certain identification. Attorney Shoemaker, counsel for Holmes, stat ed to-.day that he had no doubt that Distiict. Atty. Graham would pros ecute in Philadelphia. HUMS Hall, Sonestown VH Laporte, at Sonus** town on Wednesday afternoon. Scorn: Son os tow n IJ, Laporte 4. Geo. Simmons remarked that the La porte boys were a clever lot of fellows but they 'can't' play base ball. The institute scholars and especially the young ladles gave the home team good cheer. The young ladies pres ent from Laporte were not slow in returning a clap for the county seat boys. The play was a pleasant one from start to finish. No kicking such as is common in a game of base ball. The Sonestown team is a gentlcraenly lot of fellows and were highly elated over the result of the game. Teachers' Exiiiuiuitfiou*.
