I fg Journal. Incidents Connected with Three of the Old Turnpike Taverns. BY JOHN M. COOPKH. We published recently n paper en titled "Old Turnpike Taverns," taken from Public. Opinion. Mr. Cooper, shortly after its publication udded the following incidents connected with the old-time hostelrics: If it will interest your readers you may add the following to my account of the old turnpike and its taverns: David Fegley kept tavern iu Loudon as' early as 1WJ7 or Jh;h, and as late as lx4l How long before or after I do not know. He was a Democrat from Berk's county, friendly and full of hu mor, and used to call, when in Chanibersburg, at the old Tele graph oftioe, where I was learn ing my trade. At that time can didates for Sheriff were not nom inated by Conventions, but ran a scrub race, half a dozen or more being on the track. In 18 H, Wil liam Gilniore, Adam Fisher and Upton Washabaugh.ol'Chambers burg, William Coffroth, of CJreeu castle, and others not remember ed, were candidates. Although parties did not nominate, they generally endeavored to conceu trate on the candidate of their faith whom they believed to be the strongest. Gilmore, Washa baugh and Coffroth were Demo crats; Fisher was a Whig, and there wereother Whig candidates. Tho Democrats concentrated on Gilmore. the Whigs on Fisher. Fegley promised to do all he could for Wasliabaugh, from whom he got his beer, for W. was a brew er, but when the Votes were couut ed W. did not have one at Loudon. This was thought to be a good joke on Fegley and it was rubbed in on him. He stood the rubbing very well and probably "stood treat" on it pretty often, usually remarking, "I thought he would get some votes and if there had just been one I could have claim ed it." Fegley 's "fix" reminds me of that of Miller, who predicted that the end of the world would come iu 1844. James K. Paulding was a noted politician and literary man in New York and had been Secretary of the Navy under Van Buren. Ire wrote for Godey's Lady's Book at that time perhaps the most prominent magazine iu the country, an article entitled "The End of the World." Tho fateful day opened very hot and the heat increased every minute. Fowls walked around gasping and with extended wings. Dogs loll ed out their tongues and lay down and panted. Horses and cattle were covered with perspiration and showed signs of great dis tress. Human beings began to move rapidly down a broad and dusty road, with anxiety depicted on every countenance. The throng increased and the heat increased. Thousands swept along, -powerless to resist. At length a largo fat man came trundling along, with his hat off and face aflame, his right arm working like a pis ton rod as ho wiped off the per spiration with a big red bandana handkerchief, and his every feat ure indicated extreme alarm. The author recognized him as Mil ler and asked him how it had come to pass that he was traveling down the broad road in such com pany as crowded it and apparent ly in as much distress of mind and body as the rest. With a groiln of agony Miller answered, "Oh! I was so busy saving other people's souls that I forgot to save my own!" Fegley might have plead off in the matter of Sheriffalty by Haying he had been so busy trying to get other men to vote for Wasliabaugh that he had forgotten to vote himself. There was a mass meeting at McConnellsburg in 1H")4, which Gov. Bigler, then a candidate for re-election, attended. Ho stop ped at McDonald's. I was stand ing with him in the parlor, about the middle of the forenoon, when an old man came in and was intro duced. In stature he was rather below medium height, and his frame was light but well knit. He said he lived at Fort Littleton, which I think is about 10 miles distant from McConnellsburg, had served under Decatur at Trip oli, was 104 years old and had walked down to see the Governor. "You did not walk all the way this morning, did you?" said the Gov ernor in a surprised and earnest tone. "No, I came part of the way yesterday evening and the rest this morning, and I am not at all tired," said the veteran. He related incidents connected with his service under Decatur, and at a pause in the conversation the Governor remarked to me, "We seem to be standing in the actual presence of a time long past." There were people there who had known the veteran for a long time and no part of his story could be doubted. I observed him closely and sawnothingabout him that indicated such extreme age except his eyes. These were ilattened to a remarkable extent, but he said he could see very well. My first trip to Bedford was made iu 184". in the stage, which, stopped at Ottiuger's. In the of fice I noticed an active young man, with round and pleasant face, who was making himself useful in a very agreeable manner. I did not hear his name and never saw him again, and there was nothing to fix him on my mind except his pleasant face and the attention he bestowed upon every person or thingin need of attention. Years rolled by and I became Pardon and Appointment Clerk in the At torney General's office during Buchanan 'sad ministration. One day there came into my hands, from a northwestern State, an ap plication for the pardon of a iost- master who had been convicted of stealing from the mails and sen tenced to the penitentiary. The family name given was oue that I was familiar with, and on exam ining tho papers I fouud that the prisoner belonged to a Franklin county family well known to me. I remembered the father and the mother; (the former dead but the latter still living at that time,) and was well acquainted with two of their sons, but this one I hud never heard of. Among the pa pers was a letter from the moth er, sotting forth the suffering she was undergoing on account of her erring sou. Among other strik ing things she said "my tlesh is consuming off my bones." I wrote to the son with whom the mother was then living, and assur ed him that I would endeavor to have his brother pardoned. then made up the case iu the us ual way, wrote a letter of my own to President Buchanan, stating what I knew of the family and asking to quench the tire which was consuming the Uesh off tho bones of the good old mother, who was then over 80 years of age. Judge Black took the case to the President, and I was directed to draw ui) the form for the pardon. Of course I sent the glad tidings at once to tho son with whom tho mother was living, nor did I lose any time iu drawing up the par don. About a dozen years afterward, in conversation with Mr. George Megraw, (since deceased,) of the Juniata Crossings, I referred to my first trip up tho turnpike to Bedford, and to the active and pleasant-faced young man at tho stage hotel in that place, whoso name I had learned. Mr. Megraw said ho knew him well, that ho had at one time been engaged at the Crossings, that his name was , that he was from Frank lin county, that ho had taken to drinking. This was tho man whose prison doors Iliad ojienod away upin the northwest. I hope he never went astray ugain. Considering all that I havo writ ten about the old Turnpike run niug westward from Chanibers burg, you will naturally conclude that I remember it with a feeling akin to affection, and you will not wonder that I remember and con tinue to admire a speech mado by a colored brother in the course of a debate long ago iu one of the Ohio river towns. The question was: "Which is tho preferable mode of traveling, by coach or by turnpike or by boat on tho riverV" Tho champions of the river dis coursed eloquently ou tho floating palaces gliding smoothly along, while tho passengers enjoyed all the comforts of a well-apioiuted homo. The champions of the turnpike did their best with tho rattliugcoach, the prancing hors es, tho driver's horn and tho steaming dish of chicken on the tavern table, but the tide of debate seemed to bo running against them, for tho river brethern de molished their strongest ioint by affirming that the boat carried chickeus in coops and the passen ger not only found them on the table out hud a chance to walk off with one if lie reached his landing at night. Fortunately for the champions of the turnpike they had the concluding speech and their last orator proved himself worthy of the mighty task before him. With "his eyes in a fine frenzy rolling" and his two rows of ivory shiuiug like a polished steel muskrat trap, ho jumped to his feet and delivered this short but irresistible sieech: "Kf you trabbel by de turnpike! and do coac h brakes down, dar you is; but ef you trabbel by de ribber and de boat splodes up, wlmr is you?" Judges, spectators, and even chain pious of the river, each agreed that in case of accident he would rather his friends should be able to say "dar he is" than to have them running wildly up and down the river asking "wlmr is he?" So the turnpike won by a unanimous vote. Your comMsitor evidently thought I made a slip of the pen when I wrote, iu the paragraph relating to the "Juniata Cross ings," that tlu! original Deunison houseattheold Crossing wasprob ably the oue alluded to as "Den nis's" by the two Philadelphia travelers iu 1 Hi!), and sohe length ened "Dennis's" into Deunison's aud made a mistake iu stead of correcting one. I wrote it as it ought to have been. The travel ers said they arrived at "Den nis's," near the river, ou the old road. The Crossing farm was a large one 700 or 8(H) acres and extended from a short distance above the turnpike crossing to a considerable distance below the old road crossing, aud the old house, at the old crossing, was oue or two hundred yards west of the river. Havingalways understood that Denuisou built and kept the tavern at the turnpike crossing and owned the whole tract of land, I conjectured that he had kept tavern at the old crossing aud that this was the place meant by the Philadelphia travelers when they had arrived at "Dennis's." The old house was a wooden structure of goqd size for its time. It was unoccupied foryoarsaud its doors left open, and Mr. Megraw 's sheep used to go in it to rest in the shade or escape the rain. During a violent storm lightning struck down the chimney and kill ed U") or ii() of the sheep, after which Mr. Megraw, to prevent future mishaps of the kind, de stroyedthehouse by fire. George Washington may havo dined or rested and otherwise refreshed himself in it wheu returning from Bedford to Philadelphia at the time of tho "Whiskey Insurrec tion" iu 17i4. Artificial or manufactured oy sters are now being sold in Paris, where the real bivalve is very ex pensive. The only genuine thing about the manufactured oysters is the shell, which is purchased second hand by tho makers at small cost. The spurious oyster is fastened on with a tasteless paste, and is sold on tho half shell. Those who have indulged in these counterfeit bivalves uy that when lemon juico or vinegar has been added they cannot be told from the real article. Tho secret of their manufacture has uot yet been disclosed, but the ingredi ents of which they aro made are said to be harmless. Harry Weller, aged 18 years, whose home is in Berlin, Somer set county, approached an officer at Berlin on Tuesday and said he wanted to be taken to the Somer set jail. He admitted that he was implicated in the killing of Aug ust Glessner, of Allegheny town ship, same county, two weeks last Sunday. He accompanied the officer to tho woods where the murder was committed and un earthed a beer bottle aud a poek etbook. Later ho made a coufes siou to District Attorney liufus Myers, implicating Milton Sheets, aged lit. Ho confessed that he struck Glessner over the head with tho beer bottle to get 100 Glessuer had shown in Ber lin. Weller he said, had nothing to do with the murder. Both boys were locked up to await trial. Tho man who has a really cheerful disposition is he who can whistle when lie lias ouly five cents in his pocket and no hope of gotting more until next salary day. AN OI.l) FASIIIOM.I) YIDW OF U All. ROADS. Traveling is now so easy, and used to )e so difficult, that it is hard for us to realize that the in troduction of so useful an im provement as the "iron horse" was not immediately and univer sally welcomed; but it was not. In mi old family letter are re corded the impressions of an early traveler by rail, after her great journey behind a locomo tive. "The speed is very terrifying," she wrote, "and the clattering and jolting Inconceivably unpleas ant. The atmosphere is less on ly than I expected; but, on the other hand, there is much soot and uion everything, even short ly upou the faces and hands of the travelers. Then the appall ing screeches proceeding from the locomotive engine, which it gives out on coming to a stop and at other times, are mostdistress ing and discordant. "It is a method of travel with but one advantage, a caving of time; and with more disadvant ages than can be enumerated, be ginning as they do with danger and concluding with dirt. "Between cities of large popu lation, whence the necessities of busiuoss force men to hasten to aud fro, and for carrying of goods and merchandise, tho rail road is uo doubt destined to fill a useful iositiou. But that it can ever be employed for ordinary travel, after public curiosity is satisfied, by individuals of leisure and good personal habits by gentlemen and gentlewomen, in short or even by cleanly and comfortable people not gently bred, unless in cases of neces sity, I caunot believe." It is easy to sympathize with this dainty lady's dislike of grime and noise, but what would she have said could she have liv ed to ride in a parlor car, diue at a Hying buffet or sleep away a journey of three or four hundred miles secluded in a comfortable berth?

Blair in his earlier days owned a western railroad, along tho route of which ho established a series of luuchn oms, at which the employes were to be charged fifty cents and all passengers seventy-five cents. Mr. Blair once dined at one of these places, and, concluding his meal, laid down a half dcllar. "Hold on!" cried the cashier. "You don't belong to this road."
