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.

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? Public Lodger.

The person who has been train
ed from childhood to consider tho
comfort and convenience of oth
ers at the expense of his own will
instinctively take the least com
fortable seat in a car and get on
or off the car in a way which will
cause others the least inconven
ience. The person who has not
been trained in this way will
make himself obnoxious and will
cause much inward swearing
among his neighbors. Let the

John I. 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." "I know
that, "he replied; "tho road be
