' Ter that might be of some interest to many readers of the same, relat ing to that portion of county now' known as Jacob's Fork township, that was created and established since the late war. This township is bound on the south by the Lincoln county line, on the west by Bandy's township, on the north and east hy Jacob's Fork River, and Newtou township line, and by Clark The portion of , county now constituting this township lies on both sides of the South Fork river, and embraces all that rich country known as theSouth Fork Valley. It was the first por tion of country settled by the early hardly Dutch Ponnsylvanians be tween the 3'ears 1760 and 1770, who were a peaceable and industrious people, and' dwelt together in haru i.:iy and mutual friendship And the v i iiian lamjuaare was their language until about forty years ago, when your correspondent was yet quite a small boy. Iriuce then the English language lias come in its place. They were German Reforms and Luther ans, and built a Union church and worshipped God together in the same house. And so have things contiuued until this good day, with out ajar or discord. 5iir e C'atavbu countv has been established there has not one Saw- suit :one up io the court house to j i court house to kets from any of these hardy old grace the court doc the descendants of these hardy Germau Peunsylvaniaus. We do not think th.-tt there is a pauper in. this township" leceiving aid from the county at p'reseut Some portions of this township have become somewhat no ed by their situation and by name, for iii instance : Longtown, odertown, Shakerag, (as it has been called) Slab town, Keeverionisid Srouceton. The location of Longtown is, sin aied ou t.ue Liucolntou and Morgau ton road, leading by Bost's school house, or Early Grove Academy, where Prof. O. M. Yoder now is in structing the youth of that neighbor hood in the rudiments of education, and preparing them for future use fulness and society. 'I he founder of this town was John ("line, (a son of Stuffle CJiiae and bi other to "Hoots Jer Eelsar) about 80 years of age. He had married a granddaughter of ! John Shuford, the father of the bhu- i ford family i:i this country. Its present Mayor, or Chief Justice has been known for a long time nearly everywhere as Black .lohu W. He says the election of Cleve and to the high office of President of these Uni ted States has effected a tremendous and powerful change in his color, and thinks by the time Cleveland takes his seat on the fourth day of next March that he will entirely ap pear a new man, will shed off white man, like o locust or black snake in the spring of the year, and become a purified white man. When this gov ernment shad pass from under black Republican rule into the hands of a white man's government. Then he Kays he don't want his fe low citizens no more to call him Black John, but Mr. John W., or Esquire John W., and he hoj.es that his friends will heed this earnest request of his. Next we will take up Yodertown. The founder of this town was Con rad Yoder in 1780, and had married a Miss Ciine and aunt to John 'line, the f -under of Lon-town. Shake rag, as it has been called, is one of its suburbs, and has one store and three juur factories, and these two also have a school house or academy, where Prof. D A. Whitener now' a!so is engaged in instructing the I youths iu the rudiments of educa tion. Next in rotation comes Slabtown, the founder of this Tt Friddle, the reason it. rereived the name of Slabtown was that this j coiled, saying, Great Lrod, have J man Friddle planted his posts in the ! missed him1?' A moment after, Jack ground and then wealherboarded it I son took deliberate aim and puded with slabs. It also has au Academy and a vouuer mau by the name of Hix, of Happy Home is there en gaged in teaching the children. Wes ley Chapel ii nearly located in the center of this town, aud is known far and wide. Next in turn comes Keevertown or Keeversville. This town is located J on the Shelby road leading from New- J ton to Shelby. It contains sixtv inhabitants. Its founder was vears ago. It has one store, and a drug store, one juu factory, post office and a church. It is heie where Dr. A. P, iveever is jocatea ana is reaav at a moments call to visit the sick, and administer to their suffering wants, Also the Methodist parsonage is lo- cated here. Next comes Sroncetown. This town wras located some o yeai's aero by old Charley Sronce, as he i3 known far and wide, and is still living and seeinf lf V nv? buiJt up b? is scendants, he is now euioyiug de-1 enjoying his 94 Christinas. This town has also i a school house or academy, where W-S-Janett occupying the prof eg scr's cbairand instructing children in tlie way they should go and when they r ill get old will not depart from it. In these ramblrnrr historical ac- counts of this township I must not forget to say something about that well known plaeeStartown as a por tion of its Euberb lies in this town- ! ship. This townis noted as the lo cation of Couiter, llermam & (Vs. cotton gin. It has a post onW, a store wagon and black siaith shop and two churches, a Methodist ard Baptist. The Mayor or chief justice of Jug town is the only blacksmith, and his shop is nearly located in the center of this town, and does a great deal of work. Killiau' supple nursery is also located near this town ou the south west, about u mile and a half from the chief justice's shop. Many years ago "there was uuiit a grist mm uear the mouth of the Sampson Hahn branch, but nothing now remains but the mud sil s. It was net far from this place that Indians get after Henry Widener and a Mr. War- I ick whi.e tney were exploring tne cunty, and they made their horse run and Indians after them with their ponies, ! and "Wavlicfc's horse mired down and they got "Warlir.k and killed him, but VY idener escaped. The jilacenow known as Wilson's school house once was the scene of blood by one John "Wilson killing a Mr -Wise during the llovoluiionary war, which is in the borders of this township.

DivrKLSSpX ' The fatal duel between General Andrew Jackson and Charles Dicuin sou, fought, near Adairsville, Tennes see, 18C6 ranks among what are justly termed the famous American duels, not only on account of the distinguished character of the com batants, but because they were in comparably ciack shots, and because each intended to kill the other. Dick inson had invited a challenge from JiiCks m by aspersing the character or social standing of the hitter's wife Each undoubtedly expected to re ceive a mischievous bullet, but hoped at the same time to kill or danger ously wound the other. It was un derstood that there would be no love or sentiment displayed during the hostile meeting, and, of course, no white feather. Both men were noto riously brave and unspeakably angry. Both were experts with rime and pistols, and Dickens, on while ou his way lo the rendezvous, amused his associates by displaying his wonder ful skill with a pistol. Once, at a distance of twenty four feet, he fired lo ir b i Is. each at the word of j command, into a space that could be covered by a silver dollar. Several times he cut a string with a bullet from the same distance. It is rela ted that he left a severed cord hang ing near a tavern, and said to the laudlord : "If General Jackson comes along this road be kind enough to show hiin that." The meeting took piace iu the morning, and both par ties appealed to be collected. 5 'he arrangement agreed on was that the pistols were to be htl J downward un til the word was given to tire, then each niau was to fire as eoou as he pleased. As soon as the word was iven Dickinson raised his pistol and fired. A puff of dust flew from the beast of Jackson's coat and his sec ond saw him raise his left aim and I i i i n 1 - - i J. I riace it iijruuy across ins uieasi, u ! ha stood firm, while Dickinson j V , at half-cock. He drew it back to its place, took aim a second time and fired. Dickinson reeled and his face turned white, and as his friends hur ried toward him he sank to the ground. The missi e had passed through the body below the ribs. It was only after this that it was dis covered that one of Jackson's shoes was full of blood. On examination, i it was found that the bullet from ! Tilrinc!-v7-i''c Yrftjnvn liar! liif. .Inrdcsnn ; " - - in the breast, breaking two nos, and making a painful but not dau gerous wound. Dickinson lived until 9 o'clock in the evening, when , . . , . , Tf e expired, having bie d o death. 1 was on this occasion tnat Jackson ex lte1 his oa bf sa . Lls secon1 tuat 118 would have lived long enough to Kill his antagonist even n he had been shot through the heart Thera is one feature about this duel f with Dickinson that seeiiis a little peculiar, and that is that General ; .Jac-Kson who was a very spare man j in his person, should havebean dress j ed in a loose htting gown orc-oat, so j that his antagonist could noi. readily teh the position of his hotly.- iftck insou sumed right, and if Jackson's body Lad been where l)ickiiuon sup-t posed it to be, and where; perhaps the code duello would say it ought to have been, there is no jut reason to doubt that Jackson would at that time havq been killed, for the ball from Dickinson's pistol would have struck his heait, if the account of the duel be correct." s TOM OCHILTREE TALKS.

How to Change tJag Color cf ITloyy ers. CHICAGO TREJtTSE. It has for a long time been known that the color of growing flowers can be altered by simply mixing a httie dye-stuff with the mould in the flower pot. No one, however, has hitherto thought of changing the color of flo ers when out. A dis tinguished botanist has found that by simply soaking the stems of cut flowers in a weak dye solution their color can be altered at will without ( tlie perfimie Gf richness being stroyeti. Most beautiful effects de- are Sin j produced by preparing lakes. gular to say, flowers refuse to absorb certain colors, while they dispose of others in different manners. If plac ed in a mixed solution, they make a complete analysis, and some lilies which had been treated with purple showed distinct red and blue veins, the colors having been divided in the process of absorption.
