Within pistol Bhot of tho alto of the houso In which Washington was born is Blenheim house, built by William Vugustln Wo8hlngton, nephew of George Washington and son of Georgo Washington's elder half-brother Au gustine. Lena Washington Hunger- ford, great-great-grandnleco of George Washington, dwells thoro to-day. Fredericksburg by tho Rappahan nock was the boyhood homo of George Washington. There he attended school to Mr. Hobby, and there the apochry- phal cherry tree Incident was laid; there ho subdued the wild colt, and thero he throw a silver dollar, or other object, across tho Rappahannock river. The colt Incident Is believable and the pitching story is plausible. It was at Fredericksburg that Wash ington was Initiated Into Masonry. It was thero that he took final leave of his mother before assuming tho ofilco of president In Now York, and It was there that Mrs. Washington, succes sively known In that city and the country roundabout as "tho Hose of Hoping Forest," "Hello of Lancaster," "tho Uoman Matron" and "Old Ma dame," died August 25, 17SD. Not long after the birth of George Washington, between Pope's and Bridge's creeks In Westmoreland conn- Mrs, Washington's Cottage at Fredericksburg, Where George Washington Bade Farewell to His Mother and Where She Died. ty, tho Washington family mothor, father, Augustine, Lawrence and George removed to a farm In Stafford county, directly ucross tho river from Fredericksburg. The dato of tho re moval of tho Washlngtons from tho Potomac to tho Rappahannock Is doubtful, but It occurred between 1735 and 1740. Tho Rappahannock farm bad been owned several years by Au gustine Washington, tho older. This farm has been variously called Pino Grovo and tho Ferry farm, the latter name being suggested by tho fact that tho farm was opposite tho lower Fred ericksburg ferry. Georgo Washington's father died April 12, 17411, leaving largo landed possessions. Whether ho was buried on the RappahannticK farm, or wheth er his body was taken back to tho old Washington family burying ground on tho lower Potomac Is not known. Ho bequeathed tho old homo place on tho Potomac to his eldest son, Augustine. To his son Lawrenco ho left tho farm on tho Potomac between Hunting creek and Dogue run, which Lawrenco subsequently named Mount Vernon. To Georgo, when ho should come of ngo, ho bequeathed tho farm on the Rappahannock. This houso was occupied by Mrs. Chatham, on Part of the Old Washington Farm, Opposite Fredericksburg. Washington until It burned after George had changed his placo of living to his half-brothor's homo In Mount Vernon. After tho flro Mrs. Washing ton removed to a small frame cottago In Frodorlcksburg, where she lived many years, and where sha tiled. It was in this house that Washington ook hU Inst leave of his mother, four .'nonttiH before her death. Tho houso still stands at tho corner of Charles anrr Lowls streets. It Is owned by tlK Society for tho Preservation of Vlinia Antiquities, and Is furnished m-.-Ii as It was when Mrs, Washing tou lived thoro. Tho roum in which sho died nnd her bed are preserved In tact. The Ferry farm In Washington's time comprised about 2,000 acres. It was on this laud that Durnside con ducted his main operations against the confederate position behind Fred ericksburg. After more than a cen tury of transfers ami subdivisions tho Washington homeseat has been re duced to 200 acres. The present own er Is F. H. Corson, a farmor. One of the original Washington houses is standing about 100 yards from tho Corson cottage. Only the weather boarding has been renewed. It Is a frame shanty, and the story goes that it was used as an oillco of the estate when the Washiugtons llvwl there. ' Of the 2C0 acres surrounding tho house two are In garden and orchard, IS in oak timber and the remainder In farming laud, planted this year In wheat and corn. When Corson bought the land It was deeply scarred with Uiirnsldo's earthworks, thero being 111 gun pits near where the houso stands. These pits have been obliterated, with the exception of one, which has been left as a relic. Fredericksburg has grown south ward till a part of the city Is directly ucross from the Washington homo site. The steamboat landing on tho city side is within easy pistol shot of the Washington house. When tho wind blows from tho northeast tho whistle of steamboats on tho Potomac river, 15 miles away, may be heard. To tho north of tho Washington house, but still on land that was tho Washington farm, Is Chatham, ono of the noble places of Virginia. During the union operations ugalnst Maryo's Heights, Chatham was Burnaldw'n headquarters. It was then tho prop erty of MaJ. Horace Lacy. After tho war It was bought by "Olllo" WatBon, a New Yorker, and now is owned by a rich cotton manufacturer named Ralley, who lives at Griflln, Ga. Across tho river at tho upper end of Fredericksburg Is tho great house of Kenmoro. Georgo Washington's sis ter Ellzaboth bocame tho wife of MaJ. Fielding Lewis of Fredorlcknburg, a revolutionary oillcer of distinction. He built Kenmoro in 1749. Ono of their sons was Intimately associated with George Washington and becamo tho husband of Nellie Custls, granddaugh ter of tho wife of Georgo Washington and adopted daughter of Washington. Tho mother of Washington was burled at a romantic spot In the Ken more grounds. Soon after tho death of Mrs. Washington her widowed daughter Hetty moved from Kenmoro to llvo with her daughter, Mrs. Carter, In Lancastor county. Thero sho died In 1797 and hor children sold Kenmoro. Tho purchasers laid out their family burial ground closo to tho gravo of Mary Washington, and Inclosed their lot with n high brick wall, leaving tho Washington gravo outside. Mary Washington's gravo wan long neglect ed. Various offorts to erect u monu ment fnllod, until In tho early "90s a Fredericksburg auctioneer offered tho land on which tho gravo was for sale. This aroused Indignation, money was subscribed and May 10, 1891, tho pres ent classic shaft that marks tho gravo of "Mary. Mother of Washington," waa dedicated. WORLD'S OLDEST PARISH CLERK. Englishman Will Celebrate 103d Birth day In May. London. Tho proudest and ono of the happiest men In Cornwall, Eng land, Is Jamos Came, who lives In a cottage In the village of St. Columbo Minor, who on May 3 next will cele brate his ono hundred nnd third birthday. Ho Is a pleasant spoken and most communicative man, and In giving an outline of his family his tory told how ho had coma of u long lived race. 1 1 In grandfather, John Curne, who died In 1801 In his eighty llrst year, had acted as verger In tho old Church of St. Columbo Minor for 50 years; ho was succeeded by his son John, who, after serving for 51 James Ctrrtti lot Yar Old, and the Chursh of St. Columbo Minor. Yifitftt lift years, died at the ago of 84. Tho present James Carno then becamo verger and parish clerk, and up to the present day hns carried out thoso du ties. With tho exception of missing ono Sunday's services, Carno has for 51 years attended to his duties at tho parish church twice every Sunday. The villagers say ho Is a vorltablo walking prayer book. In tho earlier days of his parish clerkship It was customary for him to walk up nnd down the aisle playing his llute, and so lead the vlllago choir. This Instru mental accompaniment was tho foro runner of a church band, which was considered quite a grand feature and consisted of a llute, n clarionet and a bass viol, with the lator addition of a egmopean. Tho bandsmen practiced In the quaint old parlor of tho vlllago "pub." hard-by. Carno says tho hymn, "Oh Ho Joy ful," was sung at overy Sunday morn ing service for 50 years. This cer tainly saved band practice and the congregation from learning now hymns. In tho enily years tho congre gation used always to repeat tho last two lines of the psalms and hymns, the completion of each repetition bo lug wound up with a loud "Amen." James Canto's health still keeps good, and It is only In tho laBt llvo or six years that ho has worn glassoa. Ho spends much of his tltno working In his gnrden. Ho Is a non-smoker and practically a teetotaler, and was originally apprenticed to tho tailoring business, but his father took him away form It "on nccount of his be ing delicate." Howevor, tho outdoor life of a postman may havo helped tc build up his constitution, for Carnc was tho parish mall carrier for more than twenty-ono years and never missed his duties n slnglo day. Carno traces his lineage to King Hlodre, who ruled In Cornwall In tho fifth century. In tho kitchen of his cottage Is an oak settlo mndo upward of two hundred nnd fifty yenrs ago, which belonged to Cnrno'B great grandfather. It Is so constructed that tho back can bo moved to form a tiiblo. Hero nlso Is an old stone with tho Ten Commandments Inscribed. It Is re corded In tho church books as having existed in 1283, and thoso command ments wero read to tho congregation before they dispersed from their Sun day services. SERVES TWO SEPARATE CITIES.
