Reading, Ps., Dec. 7.—So great @f farmer Levi’ Keller and wife, a few miles north of this city, that the @offin containing the two bodies had to be carried into the large yard fronting the double stone mansion. The bodies lay side beside in the one eoffin the wife resting on the left arm of the husband. Their faces were turned toward each other, and ap- peared to be in sweet sleep. The brown hairof each was spriukled with gray,and the husband's long gtay beard entirely covered his breast. The hands of the wife were lying close together, but not folded or crossed. Both corpse were attir ed in black. The double casket was nearly three feet wide and lined with ‘white tufted satir. On the right side Of the large lid was a silver plate bearing the name of “Father,” and another plate on the left bore the! EN ‘name of “Mother.” i The strange manner of the death { of the aged'couple is still the topic H all talk’ in the neighborhood. ; _ People never before read or heard of | “nother stich a case. The husband, _ Siged’63, died of a nervous fever. The “w.fe, aged 60, was but ‘slightly ill, @ud waited’on her husband. “They -bad always been inseparable compan- 1 “sions sinee childhood, and raised a! large family. A week before their | death the husband said: “I must die ina few days.” Then the wife consoled her hus- band, but added: “If you go I will go too.” On Monday night at 8 o'clock, he died in his wife's arms. She lad! him back on his pillow, fell upon his | breast, and, trueto her word, died | Oa the instant, of a broken heart. | Those in the room were not aware of her death until they went to lift her from the dead body of her husband. | Th> two fa-thfu! and loving Chris- | tain people were, there ore, buried | in one giave and in oe coffin—in each ocha’sarmr. Husdreds wept at the aff.cting sight. | Letter from Ch.rley Hale. The following letter written by our! 6 d purchasing corn from Missouri. young triend Charley Hale who is nuw sojourning at West Fall Brook, Caltore nia, was received by a friend in this city last week. I dfrived in this place last Sanday mormeg and took breaktast with ‘Lil Suiith gud wite, atter which we (Li aud 1) tuok in the city.

They lave abunt 41 of the birds ou the ranch. some of which were sent to St. Louis during the G. A. R. Encampment. It was-a_ sight worth going miles to see. Some of the younger birds tun at large over the hills, but the older ones are kept in corrals and are quite vicious. Some of them would vome up to the tence and Iet us rub their long necks, ‘The printing business is good in’ this State; in the cities they pay 40 cents per 1.000 emson evening and 45 cents on morning papers, Wages of all kinds are high here and everything else in pro- portion. “The climate is ali that could) be desire t—no heavy togs like there are in ether portions of California.

As we might expect, patents are is- sued largely to people of the more en- ‘ightened S ates, where genersl intel- ligence prev is. In Connecticut 1 patent was issued for every 729 per- sons of the population; in) Mussachu- setts 1 te every 842 persons; in Biode Islan , Lto+very 1101 persona, while in Alabama there was 1 patent to every 21.398 of th» people; in Georgian, 1 to 11.015; in Arkansas. 1 to 13,155; in Mississippi, 1 to 21,761; in North Caroli va, 1 t+ 18 663; in South Curo- linn, 1 to 21. 640.

Last suinmer the associate press continued to publish state- ments. about the copious rainfalls in Kansas. At the time we stated that these reports were false, and now the evidence is before us. To tell the truth there has been but little rainfall in Kansas for two years, and last summer the drought was more severe than in any part of Missouri. If it was not for Missouri, half the stock in the south and southeastern portion of Kansas would starve to death this winter.—J. C. Tribune. Qnt fifty-seven patents had been Gran ed prior to the commencemsnt of this series of numbering, and tothe date of printing the Commission-r's report tbe present series reaches the famber 955.291. For fourteen years beginning with 1867,:he average annua! numbef of pate sts issued was 13 724, each year diff ring but little from ihe others After thatthe number increased rapidly and will doubiloss excoed $0,000 for the vear 1837. While it is generally un lerstood that Rot one patent i1 a hundrod ever pays the inventor any thing, very many of them are of the highest value in the industrial world.

The negroes in the South, as shown by the detailed vote by coun ties in Virginia, are slowly but steadi- ly abandoning the Republican party. —Giobe Democrat. —This very admission by the lead- ing Republican paper of the West is a political item of no small import. Not ouly the negroes of the South, but of the West are “steadily aban dening the Republican party.” In Miam county, Kansas, the home of “Oswatomie Brown,” many of them have abandoned the Republican party.—Paola Spirit.
