Said a young lady who was fash ionable educated at boarding schools, and indulged in idlehessnvt home, so that there was neither strength or e lasticity in her, frame, j'l used to be so feeble that 1 could not even utt a bwom, and the least j physical exer tion would make me ill for a week. One sweeping day I went bravely to work, cleaning through the parlors, J three "thanibers, the front stairs and , hall, after which I lay down and rest ed until noon, when I arose and eat a heartier meal than for many a day. - Since that time I haye occupied some portion oi every aay jn ayuve uuuit--tic labor, and not only are all my friends corjffratulating me upon my improved appearance,- but in my whole being mind, body and spirit do I experience a wonderfuWigor, to which I have hitherto been a stranger. Young ladies, try my jCatholicon.' r : Startling Phenomenon. On the ldth of March last a phe nomenon occurreo! over Drogheda, Philadelphia, : which J for some time etruck with the deepest terror, those who happened to be outside doors. The moon shone out clearly, the at mosphere was calm, and the sky was dotted over with stars, when, abou nine o'clock,; a rumbling noise was heard above land suddenly the heav ens seemed to cleave asunder, when a ball of fire, ithe most brilliant that, fancy could imagine, rolled along the! blue vault, and appeared to descend' with the most fearful rapidity, rot a few seconds tlie entire town, was , lighted up so intensely tliat many fe males shrieked, some fainted, and oth ers ran oflf the.; streets breathless' and in the greatest trepidation' into the nearest shops. , ' Anything of the kind was never known here before. It was a length of time' before parties"' who had sought refuge inj their fright could be persuaded to return to their homes. u . i . . .

Hcdeinh . Standard, f i .s'rww .if-J'1 , ; Mary, the Mother of Washington IIR WILLUBLTSIIED, FOR THE FIRST : ,.Vtime 'isx'iuesTixa kemisis- '' CEXGE, AC A .recent visitor at the town of Fredericksburg, Va., a place in which the said visitor spent a portion of his boyhood and early life has gathered a few facts relative to the mother of the immortal Washington, which are cuitc interesting: ' '"' vtiThc.mo8t notable object of interest to a .visitor to this old, quiet, but ex tremely agraeable town, is the house where once lived, and where died, "Mury the mother of Washington." Even in its present greatly improved condition there is nothing in its ap pearnce specially imposing Or attrac tive.' A plain, two-storied, white wea ther-board, building, without architec tural pretension ; with no garden, not so much as a foot of ornamental yard io separate it irom tne street; it would, be-passed unnoticed, but for the fact its once owner and occupant has in vested it with a historic interest. As it stood in the days of Mrs. Washing ton, it was of much more moderate proportions, internally cut up into small rooms, whose symmetry and comfort were not enhanced by the awkward corner fire-places of vast di mensions. Subsequent owners have modified the interior, as well as the exterior. . For many years it was the residence of Rev. Dr. Samuel B. Wil son, now professor in the Theplogical Seminary in Prince Edward county,', but previously the founder, and long the pastor of the Presbyterian church here. 7" ' ? Monument to Mrs. Washington. It was during Dr. Wilsons resid ence in Fredericksburg the idea was first suggested of rearing a monument to the memory of the mother of Wash ington, there not .being so muqh as a board or, stone to mark the spot where her dust was sleeping its long sleep ; and as the Presbyterians were at the time in need of a new church, the scheme was adopted for combining the two things, and by connecting . the monument with the church tq make the funds collected subserve to gome extent both purposes. The effort was accordingly inaugurated, and for a time prosecuted with considerable suc cess. But very soon some of the Epis copalians raised a strenuous opposition, on-tlrC ground that the old lady hav ing been a faithful daughter of their church whilst alive, it was not proper or fair she should be made a pout mor tem Presbyterian. A heated contro- ; i :.i a: ,.,! verjsy arose, uuu umm uui u.ui dust of the conflict the projected mon ument disappeared, and with it also, most mysteriously, the funds which had been contributed, and which have hot come to light even to this day. Some years subsequent to this, a wealthy merchant of New York, in spired, it is said, with a special rever ence for the Washington family from tender regard for ta lady of the con nexion, undertook the erection of a monument at his own expense over the grave. As has often before been told by newspaper correspondents, the, work went on until about two-thirds completed, when, unfortunately, by some commercial catastrophe, the be nevolent an patriotic gentleman who had undertaken it lost his largo, prop erty. This, so far as he was concern ed. brou?ht the matter to. a stand. The citizens of Fredericksburg would, no' doubt, promptly have carried "put the oraiseworthy design, but the iin hannv controversy in connection with the precious effort had engendered such a feeling that nobody was willing a crain to meddle wit it The old fires were, still smouldering, and a very little thing might re-light the .flame. Hence, though a score or more years have elapsed, the unfinish ed work still stands in statu quo -a very unpleasant abortion. In compa ny with a few friends I visited it -the . t . - in other atternoon. it occupies a Knoi in a field on the edge of the town, ad mining the wall of i a family burying ground.; lhc structure is oi wnue marble, some six or eight feet square, and perhaps twelve or . fifteen fee.t high, ornamented with small .fluted columns, and intended to have been j surmounted with a shaft.- The masive block of marble for the latter lies a- long-sidef still in the rough, as it came from the hands of the quarriers, as al so various other pieces of stone, even those designed-1 for the iron-railing which was to surround it. The -impressions upon the mind of the visitor are by no means agreeable, not; only for the unfinished and ruinous appear ance of things, but; from the fact that the juvenile sportsmen of the town, thinking, probably,'that nobody Te3 nected or cared for! it, have made it a mark - to hoot -at, 4 until the marble Tradition of Mrs. Washington. There" are those still living here 'who are ableto speak- from their per sonal recollections of "Mary," the mother ot : W ashington. A venerable lady to, whomljiavcbeen talking tells me that she can distinctly recall her short, rather thick-set figure, and her peculiar round straw hat iind red cloak, as in her childhood she jvas accustomed tosco tho old Tady stirring sarbflni-sthe neighborhood. The traditions are that she was not remarkable for amen ities of character but rather for me thod and order strict household gov ernment, and decision of ipurpose. To those characteristics her immortal-son waadoubtleSs indebted for his admira ble system in'a.11 his: pursuits, and for his inflexible iendurance aSd determi nation. It "13 generally; understood that she did not sympathize in his re volutionary ideas, thinking that he would have done much better to have attended to his surveying than to be pitting himself against .the venerated and all-powerful mother country. Mrs. Tfaqlungtons Will. Amongst the most interesting relics--of the old lady is her will, which is filed in the archives of tho court at Fredericksburg. The worthy clerk of the court, John J. Chew, favored me with the sight of the original docu ment, as well as, with a copy of it. The signature, "Mary Washington," is in a large, bold, and somewhat mas culine hand. As I believe the will has never been published, it may not be amiss, as an interesting relic, to give it a place. It will be observed thatj with the exception of the ''Lands on Accokcek run," Washington did not inherit a great deal from his ma ternal ancestor. ' I give the spelling SHEEP.! .
