These people, says the Count, oi uoene are remarkable in many ways, but most i nver, Col- surprising is their great age, many living om his old to be 150 yean old, although 100 to 125 datives and years is the average age. Our German friend and his companion soon discovered 1 the cause of tlieir longevity. After two is a mouse years they made their esoape, not, howor is of a ever, until they had learned the secrets n,n,i anA of these magnificently preserved people.

It will be remembered that The 1 Times suggested that a petition be cir- ' culated f?,r signatures requesting the ? water works and electric light commis- 1 sioners to rut the electiic light dynamos i all night. A petition to this effect was | taken around Friday afternoon, by Dr. J. H. Hamilton, to the business men of the town and in the short space of two 1 an 1 one-half or three hours he had lit- I erally tilled the available space on the I four sheets and reported 100 names. lie , said he could have gottou 500 signatures simply by presenting the petition, if lie had move room on it. All that was necessary was to slate the object. It I was one of the most popular petitions i ever circulated for signatures here.

B. G. Wilburu " and L. J. Browning, visited the marble tl quarry one mile and a half west of Cross c Keys this morning. This quarry was ti discovered about two years ago by Mr. C. R. Prince and Mr. B. F. Himby, on a place or plantation known as the G. P Sanford Gregory place. At the death of 8 the said Mr. Gregory, this part of the g estate, consisting of about 50 acres with h the quarry, was awarded to Mr. G w Felix Gregory, formerly of Cross Keys, 6. C., out who now is a resident of New 81 York city. A few days ago Mr. G. F. 8 Gregory came back to this state, em- tc ployed a number of hands and in a short it Lime has unearthed and brought to the surface between eight or ten car loads of j: as tine marble as can be found in any state in the union. Jn conversation m with Mr. Joe Smith, of Clinton, S. C , u ei man of great experience in quarries w Eind marble works, in fact has spent most jc ;>f his life in monumental work and E| would be taken as authority in such mat- , ters, said that he had visited the Ten- K nesaee quarries, also qnarries in the state Cl of Georgia, but this surpasses anything h he had ever seen in quality and quantity, a The quarry is about nine miles to the y nearest railroad point, it is surrounded by the finest aud most picturesque farm J lands in the South, is one of the most healthful localities and when once de- ^ veloped this part of the state of South ir Carolina could rightly be .called the i garden spot of the South. It seems that ^ the cross that has so long held the keys is about to be unlocked by one of our * worthy young men who left us twenty tl years ago. t< It seems that progress is the watch it word all along the line, and this new a year together with the ushing in of the new century, grand things are in store j for us, and we hope our northern friends " will hold up a short time on mill sites, ci and make a thorough investigation of f< what the God of nature has placed so ^ near our homes in this hill or mountain .1 of the purest marble. I say, and I voice the sentiment of every man in this sec- ^ tion, success to you, our life long friend E Gregory, may you be able to induce It some of your Now York neighbors to jf aid you in this laudible undertaking, and p that you may live to see the home of your birth blossom like a rose. Cross [j Keys is proud of you; let us hear from " you often. J There was a very impressive memorial service held at old Padgett's Creek on yesterday, in memory of one whom all loved, Miss Mattie Browning. ((The world is better because she lived." An essay was delivered by Mrs. R. M. Lee, 8 and I have the promise of a copy for the t oolumns of the people's paper, The J Union Times, for next week. 1 Respectfully, o Thomas H. Goae, U Reminiscences of the War. From an old Virgiuia paper we get tbe following: 4Oi Monday succediog tbe battle ut Frederiektburg, Va.. the f derate asked for and obtained a fljg of truce lo collect and carry off their dead. A9 soon as it was understood that this was ihe case, there was a cessation cf the previous incessant filing between the skirmishers of both sides. Soon the meu of both parlies began to lay low 1 their arms and walk out iuto die neutral ground between and talk tnd Bwap newspapers, tobacco, coffee, Ac. Then the lines grew more contused and mixed, till at last there was no eepiration between the advanced Itnpa of hnlli nnrtipn "About this time, one of our fellows, i rough, wild looking specimen, with bis toes out of his shoes, his busby bair protruding from the topless crowu >f his hat, ragged pauts and no coat, with dingy, chocolate tint pervading bis whole person, was rambling around generally, with nothing to give but ready to accept auytbiug from a news paper to an overcoat. Presently he spied a brand ne? Belgian musket l>iug abandoned on the ground. This was precisely the thing our Confer??rate Adonis wanted to complete his qnipment and costume; so he picks t up and starts eff for his lines. Just hen he was spied by a Yankee mej r >n horeeback?a fellow got up iu the righest style of military tailoring, vlth a new coat and trapping, and ibove all, a supurb pair of patent e.ither boots. He rides up quickly u 1 calls out rather sharply. 'Put town that musket, sir you can't have hat.' Our Brummell gives him au rl rn ir i on rvlannn nf innn^nlifir If Idv ^imuvv ?? luvuuuiiv^ Ull< t naking no reply, pursues the even enor of his way. Fretted that his ippaarauce and authority should not lave produced more effect upon sucli i looking fellow, the Yankee rides ip close to him and calls out very surtly and sternly, "don't you know ir, that you can't come within our ines and carry off gnus under a fiig if truce?" "Put it down, sir, and go lack to your regiment." Tho "Coned" looked up at him kindly and in [uiringly, as if to be satisfied that he naa in earnest, and shaking hi* lira 1 ,t him but without even slackening lis pace, cr weakening his hold on the nusket, ooly replied: ' Never mind, ir, I'll shoot you torn: rrow and get hem boots." Daring the winter of 186d part of IcKiseick's cavalry, with some other roops of Gdng's brigade, were tent > Goochland C.

But among them ras John Fowler, usually called by ae nickname of "Johu Tip." They let tho Yankees in a strong force and aught as long as they could. At last uding themselves outnumbered, and early surrounded, they fell back cs est they could. 8ome were already ismounted and hai to take care <>f tiemselves the best they oould. Of ourse these were all capturod or iken prisoners, but not until every ffort to escape had beou made. Every lace for hiding had been utilized, ome bushes had been thrown in a ully over which rand and sediment ad partly washed, and underneath ras a space sufficiently large for a mall man to creep and draw his legs fier him. John found this place and )ok refuge in it, in the hope of escap ig capture (as he had no way to el out being surrounded on all sides y the enemy.) The dismounted ten were all captured and placed nder guard. A Yankee came along here John was enscoused and point ig his carbine in his hiding place, lid: "Come out of there Johnnie, I new you was in there." John cime rawliug out just as he went in (f >r e could not well turn round) at d larohed of! to the crowd of prigmers, Vhen John got to his comrades he ooke in a subdued tone and siid: Boys, how in the devil did that rankeo know mv name?" "He calbd le Johnnie just like you fellows do." 'hose who managed to escape fell ack to the reserve and overviewed 'hat had takeu plaoe.
