Cor. of the Indianapolis Sentinel. There died one day last week, in this vicinity, an aged and eccentric man eventt-three'yeJ,'faw wasa 1840 he was a promising young lawyer of Ross county, Ohio, and stumped his State in the interest of his cousin, "Old Tippecanoe." Several years thereafter he quit the practice of law and took up the study or medicine. Later on he b& came engaged to a young lady, and at last the happy day was fixed for the celebration of this marriage. But be fore the arrival of the eventful day the young lady eloped with a stage driver, leaving Mr. Harrison to mourn her sud den and, unexpected departure. This 'Incident SO disgusted Mr. Harrison with 1 the fickleness of hutnan nature and civ ilization in general that he turned his back upon the world, preferring a home ' itt the trackless wilderness and ban-en j'5tairle';td'VHe in the busy haunts of re fined lire, some iourteen years ago r.e -hniithrm aioir rabiirand took"m his - abode-? in ''the rNeoshopbottoms, some l.weartf step, ;. feeling -alt, the- while the three miles from town.

The cabin was open and un comfortable, while he was content with a simple pallet of straw. He drove a team, )oor, bony and dilapidated as himself, half-starved, and clothed in rope and string harness. He had an in telligent expression of countenance, but went about scarcely clad in rags and patches of the coarser fabrics; yet in the midst of filth and rags he was re cognized as a man of above average sense and educational culture, which always brought him respectful defer ence from all. It is said that aside from his property here, which consists of 320 acres of good land and some personal property, he owned valuable property in Ohio. Some years since his brother 'came to see him and endeavored to get him to abandon his isolated existence, but all in vafh, for he remained alone until the : last.. 'When it was found that he was sick, the kind neighbors flocked in and did all in their power to alleviate his suffering, but all of no avail. After his death a box containing silver and bank notes, deeds, mortgages, etc , was found and is now in the hands of responsible parties. Quite a number of standard works on medicine and law were also found. Among his effects was a letter, purporting to be from his niece, direct ed to him at lola, and dated 1865. In it ..several family names are mentioned, -M which may serve as a clue to the where : abonts of his relatives that are living.

It was de sirable to get her cargo Out as soon as possible, and a party of blue-jackets were detailed to go on board and "break her out."

Investigation showed that Jack's mi-. erring instinct had led him straight to the grog. He had literally sunk a well through the cargo until he struck a cask of whiskey, knocked in its head, and "Imbibed 'its contents by the dipperful. That it knocked him off his pins is not surprising, but how did he know it was on the ship? or knowing that; how did he know where to begin this mining op eration? Something told him.

The line of the extension of the Erie Baxiro Bradford branehothraagh'tke of gei'imd1 wagiftorthern oil field has been laid out over junzaasumiaicmiu x riuay uiuimug a skillful engineer, fresh from New York, named Elias Brown, was sent forward to further sketch the course taken. He started out bright and early, and proceeded with his allotted task with great .energy, until, when on the very apex almost of Kinzua summit, he lost his way in the blinding snow storm and among the heavy growth of hemlock, and for a time wandered hopelessly through the woods, with feet wet and hands benumbed with cold. He finally decided that if he ever expected to again see the human form divine he had bet ter shut down on his tiresome travel ings and plan a way , of , keeping warm till help came. He 'therefore beat a tract in the deep snow, steadily march ed up and down the little run way hour after hour, through the aicernoon ana linte - - the night,- with Hfteea&iftg yet and the body growing numb witii the intense cold. I i Brown not returning at noon to the camp of engineers who were behind him, little fear was apprehended for his welfare, but when night came, and it did not bring back the missing man, search was at once instituted, and a large number turned out to find his whereabouts. The hunt was kept up all night and Saturday morning, and was not rewarded, until noon, when one of the searching party ran across the al most exhausted man plodding his weary way over the little roadway he had beaten down by continued walking. He was immediately taken in and most tenderly cared for, and though his feet were badly frozen and his hands frost bitten he will be all right again in a few days. He says lie heard the whistle of the engine on the morning train as it pulled out of Bradford, but he was then too weak to attempt to walk home, even had he been able to find the wav. Gliding into Resumption as Though it Had N'ot Bet-!) Dfdarfd ly Law. From the New York Sun, 1st When the treasury of the United States and its small sub-treasuries open tomorrow morningthey will, in accord ance with the provisions of tne resump tion act, pay out the gold and green back dollar without any discrimination for or against either. " The imiortant change in the finances of the country nominally takes place to-day ; virtually it took place ten days or two weeks ago. and from all accounts the nominal change will be no more noted, as a dis turbing influence in trade, than the ac tual change was two weeks ago. Bank accountants will miss their special gold accounts which have occupied so much of their time in the last seventeen years; gold brokers, too, will bewail the opportunities for speculation, and the speculators will have to turn their capi tal and ingenuity to new fields. Down in the vaults of the sub-treasury and of the banks are millions of the glittering coins that have not seen day light for many years. Although repre sented by gold certificates thev have changed owners many times." These will be brought to light tomorrow and some of them started on ceaseless jour neys.

Statement Ly Secietaiy Slieninn that He is Xot j a Candidate lor Governor of Ohr. I Correspondence Louisville Courier-Journal. J Washington, December 30 Secreta ry Sherman denies that he is going to resign from the cabinet when resump tion has gone into effect. He savs he is not a candidate for Governor of Ohio, and that he thinks that Charley Foster will be the Kepublican candidate for Governor, as well as a candidate for Senator to succeed Thurman, if the lat ter is brought out. The pressure for the Senator to make the race for Gover nor has not decreased since he declined to rim, but is stronger than ever. Sen ator Thurman does not relish the idea of making the race, as he believes' that all his opponents in the liepublican party, together with his friendly and unfriendly rivals in his own party, would not spare many means to defeat his trial trip, as it is called, in running for Governor. He belieyes that if he is nominated John Sherman will be put up against him, and thus secure the po tent aid of the Secretary's New York friends to defeat .him. Thurman's friends say that his name was' suggest1' ed by, his .; enemies, and that papers friendly to him, not understanding the gameenthusiastically seconded the mo tion, but now, as it is getting better un derstood, they believe it can be settled without trouble. Garfield and Foster are both much, worried about the pros pects, the first for his Senatorial ambi tion and the latter over the gubernato rial nomination. 1 ..IaLllii Stocking.. . j VUIWttf f iacjftess.

" Diamonds is good enough for com mon boot blacks," observed Jack, as he cleaned his nails! with a tooth piek, "but you orter seen the gold watch I got ! I tell you the fourteen diamonds and twenty-one pearls in the cases made me scream right out when I hauled it from the stocking! I was so weak in the knees I c6uld hardly git down."
