Several persons have recently died in Jackson township at a very advanced age John Hecock died a few days ago, one of the oldest men in the State, and certainly the oldest in this county. From the record of deeds in Pennsylvania it appears that eighty-two years ago he signed deeds he having then been over twenty one years of age. This computation would have made him at least 108 years of age at the time of his death. Mr. Sanderson, of the same township, died recently at the age of ninety-six years. Mr. Wardlow, who died some time ago at Staunton, was computed to be over 100 years of age. He was remembered by the oldest inhabitants of the county as a very old man from their first recollection. There area number of old persons living in the county who bid fair to attain remarkable ages.

Many persons are nnssled to understand whivt the terms fourpenny," "sixpenny," and "tenpenny" means, as nppUed to nails, "Fourpenny" means 4 lbs. to the thousand nails, or "sixpenny" 8 lbs. to thousand, and so on. "Tenpenny" meant at first "ten-pound" nails (trie thousand being understood), but the old English clipped it to "ten-pun," and from that it degenerated until "penny-' waa substituted for "pounds." when* a thousand nails weigh less than 1 lb. they sre called tacks, onuls, etc., and are reckoned by onnws

The Clergyman and the Bear. Rev. W. J. Smith a muscular Christian who goes bear-ehooting everv foil in California. In a letter to The Prt$bylerian Banner from Nisalia, he discribes one of his adventures on the last evening in camp. He had walked toward the river and reached the head of a ravine, when he saw an enormous bear, eight feet long and weighing 800 pounds, lying in the clover. The ministerial Mmrod crawled on hands and knees and got within a hundred yards of the bear and then the rifle was aimed and a bal lodged in Brain's fore shoulder. There was a steep rocky gulch between them A second bullet was planted in the bear's shoulder and then a third, until he stopped, and roaring fearfully, tore up the ground in his rage, sat down on his great haunches, took up his hind foot with his fore paws, and with his tusk tore it and gashed it like ?. knife. He had reached the edge of the gulch, and was clambering the last ledge of rock to descend. As he straightened up his neck the sportsman aimed full at it and gave him the fourth round. In a moment, he lossencd his clutch, and came tumbling lik&a young avalanche to the bottom of the gulch, bellowing in the agonies of death. "I thought," writes the minister, "I had broken his neck, and after awhile walked down near him, but when within eight or ten feet, to iny ntfer consternation, I saw him rise to his feet, and I think Providence guided the bullet that crashed through his brain, and he dropped dead at my feet. Of course it was }i trophy, but I do not think I care about being present when there's another scrape like that a bruin, where your bullets flatten out like rufers, for it certainly was a bear escape from a fate similar to that of the hoodlums in Elijah's day who cried, "Go up thun bald head.'"

The Shelbyville Union tells an old story of the memorable contest between Lincoln and Douglas, as follows "They were at Sullivan, and Douglas, in his speech, twitted Lincoln with having once kept a one-horse 'doggery' and sold liquor. Lincoln smilea over his homely face, and bided his time to pay back the 'Little Giant"' in his own coin, which he did by saying 'Douglas tells the truth, he never lies. He knows and every body knows that I never would associate wilh a man who would lie, and I have been associated with Mr. Douglas a great deal. It is true that I once kept little grocery, but I want to say that while! stood on one

and souped out the liquor, Mr. Douglas stood on the other side and souped it in.' Lincoln always came out that way —ahead."

Homr Conversation.—Children hun ger perpetually for| new ideas, and pleasant way of reception is by tne voice and ear. An audience will listen closelv from the beginning to the end of an address which not one in twenty of those present would read with the same attention. This is emphatically true of children. Tliev will learn with pleasure from the lips of parents what they deem it drudgery to study in books and even if, thev have the misfortune to be deprived of the educational advantages which they desire, they cannot fail to gpow up intelligent if they enjoy in childhood and voilth the privilege of intelligent people. Let parents, then talk much and talk well at home.

Harvesting machinery should be cleaned and stored away. The bright parts may be kept from rusting by coat mg with parafine or tallow. One of the best preparations to protect iron or steel from rusting is made by melting a pound of fresh lard with apiece of rosin the sixe of a hen's eg®—the exact proportion uot important. Melt the two together and stir as it cools keep secure from dust, and use on all parts of machinery liable to rust. The Dearings should be well wiped and oiled with castor-oil. All dust should be removed, and it will pay to cover with a sheet or blanket

Geologists in general are united in this point that the earth at some staee of its existence was a molten mass. To i* theory has been arrived at from a close study of the earth's formation, which cahnot accounted for in any other way. Professor Warren or no other man can say positively that such was the case he can only say that, from observations made concerning theearth'sformation, itis not only reasonable, bnt, highly probable, that the earth war, -„v»lten

Solomon the Preaches.—Solomon was a great experimenter on human life. He tried all ways of it. He tried what wealth, what wisdom, what mirth and music, building of houses, planting of vineyards, making of orchards and gardens, could do to make a man happy and keep him so. And he conducted each experiment of this kind upon the largest scale, and carried it to its furthest issue. His position gave him full command of all the means and instruments of human enjoyment, and he exercised that command'without limitation or re-' straint. Whatsoever his eyes desired he kept it not from them: he withheld not his heart from any kind of joy. We arc not to imagine that he did all this at the prompting of any higher motive, or for anv religious end. He did it as multi tudesin lesser spheres and to a more limited extent are doing it—to gratify the devices and desires of his own near But he was all the while, though uncon seiously, fulfilling a high and benevolent purpose of the Supreme, and when afterwards he was brought to the love and service of God, he was directed to put on record, for the guidance and warning of all after generations, a history of earlier experience. It is in this light, regardiug them as written for this purpose, that the opening chapters of the Book of Ecclesiastes are to be read by us.

Gen. Sherman was recently in Arizona. At Prescott the citizens gave him a bal' every one who subscribed $10 being entuied to admission.

"Ten dollars," replied the attendant. "Does that give a feller the right logo in and shake hands with Gen Sherman "Certainly," was the reply. 'Ten dollars goes," said the miner, and, handing the attendant a $10 bill, he entered the ballroom. He wended his way arefully through the crowd, avoiding the ladies' trains as deftly as could have done one of your famous German leaders, approached the Geneifcl and said: Gen. Snerman, I merely want to shake your hand. I fought under you in your "March to the Sea," and turned and. left the room immediately.

DREUSICKE'S

LATEST IMPROVED

REFRIGERATOR

TERRE HAUTE, IND.

PATENTED DECEMBER 9, 1870.

The result of fifteen years' experience. Very important for family use, saloon keepers, boarding houses, butchers, grocers, hotels, Railroad cars, ships and vessels, packing houses, brewers, undertaker?, dairies, etc. A refrigerator is just as necessary for every family as a bed.

Drenslcke's Patent Refrigerator The most improved of ail. I regulate the cold air according to the temperature desired. The air is perfectly dry and pure. As it is well known that zinc is poisonous to the contents of a Refrigerator, I have done awaj' with the same—I have no use for zinc. None but the best quality of yellow poplar lumber is used, and the work is done in the best and most workmanlike manner. Charcoal packing makes the lumber a dry-rotten. Felt is a nonconductor of air and preserves the lumber, therefore I prefer the felt. The water is carried off bva rubber hose which is easily cleaned. The Refrigerator is an ice-saver.

Important to Saloon-Keepers. My Beer coolers are either dry or wet, as may be desired. You can keep different articles together without their spoiling, when in a drv condition. All the work warranted. All sizes made to order by the in venter.
