Bak- strong and thick when he died. Many years thee 4 ago the old man made a coffin for himself out * of two-inch white oak planks. The handles were made of horseshoes that had been worn by a mare of which be was very fond. The gentle beast was killed by a stroke of lightning aud the old man buried her under a tree where she had fallen. He desired to have her shoes buried with him, and so he nailed them to his heavy coftin. A few months ago Mr. Wharton lined his coffin with fox skins, the sly animals from which they came having been shot by himself. He often expressed a wish that a bear skin robe belonging to him should be placed under his hed in the rough oak box and that bis own sons should act as bearers. Some of the old man’s relatives advised the sous to get a decent coffin, but their advice was not taken. Every wish of the aged dead man was carried out to the letter, and on besatifal afternoon last week the eccentric nonogenarian was rest in his oaken casket.

Mr. Rust of Harvard, Whom She Was Said to Have Chosen, Apparently a Myth. ‘The dispatch from Chicago announcing Miss Gertrude Potter’s engagement to Mr. F. L. Rust of Boston has caused much speculation in that city as to the identity of the young man who is said to have won the heiress. The dis- patch says that the young man isason of Mr. W. A. Rust and that he is a member of Har- vard’s class of '92. There are two gentlemen in Boston who respond to the above name and only one of them hasason. That son is Mr. Philip 8.
