The Historic City.
Rosxox, Oct. 19, 1883.
The locality- now known as Boston was
originally called in the Indian, dialect
"Shawwut," and oueof the avenues of
the city now bears that name. :
The early settlers called the place
"Triniouutaiu" from the hills which
marked the locality, lu September of
1630, the court theu being held at Charles
town, changed the name from Trioiouu
taiu to Boston, after an old town of that
name in England, from which many colo
nists came.
The place baa associated with it many
interesting incidents connected with the
early history of our coun try , as every boy
knows. The first newspaper ever pub
lished in America appeared here j it was
the birth place of Benjamin Fran kliu ; its
streets were stained with blood in March,
1770 the time ef the famou .Boston
Massacre the event Is familiar to all.
lTieu they had a big tea drinking three
years later cold tea made in the harbor.
T wo y ears1' later W ashi ng toi r took. Ifui -
maud of the Amencau annv in Cam-
vent took place still stauds iu that beau
tiful town, and under it is a monumental
tablet ou which the facts are recorded.
It may be of interest to continue around
the city in search of what may he seen of
historic interest. Faneuil Hall must be
visit. Here we find a spacious hall, the
floor sprinkled with white sand (as many
of our eoun tiy sitting rooms are) aud des
titute of scats, excepting a few chairs ou
the rostrum which are relics. Numerous
old paintings udoru the walls, the most
prominent is 1 Italy's great pictures 4 ' Web
ster replying to Hnyue." It is about
14x20 feet inside the frame aud is a very
interesting and valuable painting. Be
sides this there are antiquated portraits
of Washington. Peter Fanueil, Samuel
Adams, the 2nd President Adams, Gen
era! Warren, Commodore Preble, Edward
Everett aud others, prominent in our coun
try's history, .,
The State-house is a place of consider
able interest tifthe straitger." Tts guitded
dome is the central figure iu every com
prenensive sKetcii oi tne city ; it js seeu
from all points yf. the city.; Far out into
the harbor this glistening dome catches
the eye, aud is the last object seen as the
city fades iu the distance. Statues of
Mann and Webster guard the approach
on either side. Iu the rotunda are stat
ues aud busts of men famous in their day;
among them the statue of Gov. Andrews,
the busts of Sumner, Lincoln, Adams aud
Wilson. Some ta'terd flags which were
borne by federal soldiers in the war
agaiust the Confederate States are also
displayed. They are doubly interesting
to people from the South, for they are
badly cut by bullets they do us honor
Coming down from the cupalo of the
State-house, from which an extensive
view of the city may be had, one natur
ally turua to the Common. Boston Com
mou ! Who has not heard of it ? The j u
veuile student of our early history 'finds
it near the front part of his book. In our
older histories there was a picture of the
Common boys aud girls coasting iu their
sled, aud some naughty ones throw ing
snow balls. This is the identical spot,
made famous by the hanging of witches.
Even the spot where grew the elm from
a branch ot' which was swung Ann Hib-
bius, and perhaps others supposed to be
witches, is euclosed with an iron railing.
The original tree blew down during a vi
oleut storm ouly seren rears ago. The
Common is kept as are oui lawns, with.
out any ornaments except the green tui
and the overhanging foliage of the old
trees. There is a very tall aud uiagnifi
cent monument iu the common, erected
of statuary is the one erected to "com
memorate the discovery that the iuhaling
of "ether Cannes iiiKenibiliry to pain."
The statue is of granite, and ou (he sides
of the base are
bearing appropriate scriptural quotations
But the most conspicuous work of art,
aud the one of which Bostonians are par
ticularly proud, because executed wholly
by native artists, is the equestrian statue
of Washington. The height of the pedes
tal and monument is about 40 feet. The
pedestal is of granite and the statue of
bronze.
As to Bunker Hill monument, the wri
ter begs to says that it is a very imposing
grauite shaft approaching 300 feet iu
height, aud has a very tiresome winding
stair leading to the four little square win
dows near the top. The view from this
historic pile is worth the climb.

A 0,000 Year Old Snake.
"We want to see the big snake."
Such was the request made of D. M.
Leiuhardt, of Philadelphia, iu explana
tion of a ring at the door bell of his
residence. Entering the hall the spec
tators beheld a petrified suake twelve
eet long aud twenty inches iu circum
ference, weighing over 375 pounds.
It was found a month ago impeded in a
coal vein iu one of the mines of the
Leonard Coal Company, in Chester coun
ty, Pa. The miner who ran across the
remarkable specimen of petrifaction many
hundred feet beneath the earth's surface
was thunderstruck at the discovery, aud
experienced something like a cold chill
down las back for the first few moments
after his pick had brought to light the
serpent's head. He called his comrades,
and they aided him iu digging it out.
It had to be cut into sixteen sections
before it was gotten out of the vein. The
suake is of a dark lead color. Its head,
body and tail are wonderfully well pre
served, the outlines being quite distinct.
It is somewhat flattened ou top, through
the centre of the body is a ridge an inch
in depth.
A well informed naturalist declared
that the snake was fully 0,000 years old,
and belonged to a species bow ouly
found in certain portions of Afiica.

Harrisonburg Old Common wealth.
Ah briefly stated iu the Commonwealth
last week, Messrs. Hatch & Curtis, of
Rochester, N. Y., have, at tho Offett
building, commenced the business of dry
ing apples ou a large scale. The Offett
building is one of the largest in Harrison
burg, but a new building was erected on
the lot, to enable the work to be proper
ly pushed. In the Offett buildiug, a re
porter for the Commonwealth found, yes
terday, all the indications of a bee' hive,
minus the stings the sweetness was
there, as reflected from the smiling happy
faces of about twenty-five of our Harri
sonburg ladies who were engaged iu par
ing aud slicing the apples. Every em
ployee of the establish in cut was busy.
This industry gives em ploy men t to about
forty of our citizens, and will continue
until the middle of December, possibly
longer. Nearly 2000 bushels of apples
have already been delivered, and Messrs.
Hatch & Curtis have contracted for about
10,000 bushels more. The apples are first
taken regardless of condition or size, par
ed, sljced and cored, which is the work ef
a few seconds, as it is doue by machinery,
then passed to bauds who remove all
particles ef peelings, specks, bruised or
rotten places.
The machinery, or rather tlte imple
ments, used in the factory are few aud
simple, consisting of furnaces, trays,
sieves, evaporators, bleacher and pearers.
The furnaces, two iu number, which are
nothing more thau large, odd-shaped
stoves encased in galvanic iron cylinders,
are seated on the first floor and are heat
ed by coal. The hot air iu the cylinder;,
mentioned above, is carried through large
tin pipes to the evaporators ou the sec
oud door. The evaporators are about
eight feet high, ten by four at the base,
aud six by four at the top, glass doors,

We need to foster, encourage' and build
up North Carohno. We shou.d do every
thine at home that cau be doue. When
in the office of Mr. Edward Atkinson the
other day, he casually remarked that the
insurance business coming to that office
aggregated $70,000,000. Col. Holt is
right. We should insure at home. A
big mutual insurance company, backed
by strong men, with a paid 'up capital of,

of dividends, and annual distribution of
surplus over a certain reserve among the
insured, would be the very thing we
need. As it is now all road lend away

as a cough remedy.
" While with Churchill's army, Just before
the battle of Vicksburg , I contracted a se

cough. I found no relief till on our march
we came to a country store, where, on asking
lor some remedy, I was urged to try Ayee's
Cheeky Pectoeal.

then I hare kept the Pectoral constantly by

an invaluable remedy for throat aad lung
