A SEURO I9IVKKTOIPII ESD.
HE CONSTRUCTS A WONDERFUL MACHINE AND
BECOMES THE VICTIM OF HIS OWN INOfcNU-
Fr&uktlu (Ky ) Patriot.]
We referred, a few weeks ago, to an
invention called “perpetual motion,” con
structed l>y «n old negr j who lives three
miles west of this place. It is a wagon so
arranged that after being set in motion it
rims itself, by virtue of the fact that the
weight of gravitation is thrown forward of
the center of motion, and, consequently,
the machine is compelled to rnu.
It has boen the intention of the invent
or to havo his wagon at the fair on the
l>th of September, so that it» value may
be tested publicly in presence of the
thousands of people who will be present;
and we learn from one of our best me
chanics that last Wednesday—the same
day of the circus—the old negro mounted
the machine, adjusted the bands, tipped
the balauce weight over the center ot mo
tion, gave the driving-wheel a shove, and
started to Franklin, to report to John B.
Montague, secretary of the association,
aud have his machiue regularly entered
on the books.
About one mile this side of the old ne
gro’s home there is a noted poiut called
“Red Pond,” immediately at tbfe forks of
the Gross Plains and Springfield roads ;
and here, unfortunately, an accident oc
curred which we fear will cause a disap
pointment to many inventors who were
coining to our Fair for the purpose of ex
amining this wonderful invention. The
machine was humming along the smooth,
sandy road at about fifteeu miles an hour,
nnd tho happy inventoT was on deck, feel
ing as proud as Fulton on board his first
steamboat, when, iu making the turn just
near the margin of the red pond, the
starboard front wheel collided with a
heavy set post-oak sapling, and the re
bound was so powerful that the old negro
was thrown forward over the dasbbourd,
aud was at the same time struck by the
flange of tho driviug-wheel, which pre
cipitated his speed so much that, when
his bend struck the fence panel on the
opposite side of the road, he was so badly
smashed that his death must havo taken
place immediately.
Coroner Hartfield’s inqnest was uncer
tain as to whether he had been killed by
u sudden stroke of the driving-wheel or
by a too hasty collision with a panel of
the fence. The machine, after this acci
dent, struck out with freedom, and, pass
ing the residence of Capt. Lee, soon mode
its woy across in the direction of Bois-
seau’s meadow, but was arrested in its
progress by a large log, which tilted the
balace-weight bock of tho center of mo
tion, and the wild wagon was stunding
gently at rest when overtaken by the cor
oner and his party, who were following
along to take care of the killed and
wounded.
Since the tragie death of the inventor,
no man has dared to mount the fiery, un
tamed steed, but our informant assures
us that it will bo on exhibition at tho fair
grounds, and wo invito the attention of
inventors and machinists to its peculiar
mechanism. We will not vouch for any
man's life who mounts it and sots it in
motion in a timbered locality, but it can
bo managed safely on the half-mile truck
on the fair grounds, aud will be put to its
best speed, if any man can be found
who is competent to guide it.

The history of the commonwealth of
Virginia, says the Richmond Whig, com
mences with an auction sale—not, how
ever, iu a store, but beneath the green
trees of Jamestown, where probably the
most anxious and interested crowd of auc
tion habituos ever known in the history
of the world were gathered. In a letter
still to bit seen, dated London, August 21,
1021, and directed to a worthy colonist of
that settlement, the writer begins with
saying:
“We send you a shipment, one widow
and eleven maids, for wives of the people
of Virginia. There has boen special care
iu tho choice of them, for there bath no
one of them been received but upon gold
recommendations. In case they cannot
bo presently married we desire that they
may be put with several householders that
have wives until they can be provided
with husbands.”
But tho writer of this epistle had little
reuson to fear that any of the “maidens
fair” would bo left over. The archieves
contain evidence to prove that these first
cargoes of young ladies wore put up at
auction and sold for one hundred and
twenty pounds of tobacco each, and it
was ordered that this debt should have
precedence of all others. The solitary
“mm wirlmv" went nlonff with the others.

> per cent.
‘one widow” went along with the others,
for they could not be particular iu these
days. Tho good minister of the colony no
doubt had a busy time that day. Re did
not mention any fees, nor did the bride
grooms think of tendering any. All was
joy and gladness; no storms ahead, no in
quisitive clerk to stand und say, “Here’s the
license, fork over that dollar.” Nothing
of the sort. From some of these couples
the first families of Virginia are descend
ed.
—Gen. Bradley T. Johnson writes to
the Baltimore Gazette that Gov. Thomas
Johnson, then a dolegate from Maryland,
nominated George Washington in the
Continental Congress as Commander-iu-
Chief of tho Continental Army, and adds:
“When Washington became President he
pressed Gov. Johnson to become his Sec
retary of State before he offered it to Mr.
Jefferson, which great office Johnson de-
. clino 1, and himself forwarded the letter
from Washington to Jefferson offering
him tho place. This correspondence was
sent from i\ew York to Frederick by ex
press, aud forwarded from the latter
place to Mr. Jefferson in Virginia. After
ward Washington appointed Johnson Jus
tice of the Supreme Court of the United
States, which place he also resigned after
a few years’ service. I had the originals
of some of theso papers and copies of
others in my house at Frederick before
the war. but it having boen occupied for
some time as the headquarters of the Fed
eral General-in-Chief, matters became
confused, and these papers mislaid or de
stroyed/ I have never been able to hear
from them since.”
