TO ALL CONCERNED.

With the commencement Of the New Vo-
LUME and New FIRM, we avail ourselves of
the opportunity OF announcing to the Patrons
of the GAZETTE, that henceforth it viii be in
dispensable that we should strictly adhere to
our published termS-to which we respectfully
invite their special attention. 1t is very essen
tial that we should demand the full terms, as

we do not think any complaints should arise
therefrom, after this legal and timely notice.
In order to have them fresh in the minds of all.
we here insert them in as plain a manner as

bing, but paid ,cithm sic months, $3.50 will be
required; and if not paid until after the erpira-
ton Of sir months, SO will invariably, and with
out respect TO persons, be demanded. See
our Advertising terms, as published above,
Our subscribers will please pay particular
attention to the above terms. They will sec
that if they desire to pay only 81, it will be
thankfully received-provided it is paid at the
time of subscribing, or paid regularly every
year at the commencement Of the new year
If they wish to pay $3.50, it will be received
,cithm six month after subscribing-bu moth
ing short Of So will be received after the erpira
ton Of sir mouths. These rules will invariably

FOR THE MARTINsBURG GAZETTE.
THE TARIFF OF 1912,

Travellers on the Winchester and Potomac
railroad may have observed a cherries looking
tenement standing in the open space near the
depot at Charlestown.
II has been occupied by apoor laboring man
with his large family. dependent on himself
alone for precarious subsistence. His hands
were strengthened, however, by the many be-
nevolent hearts around him, that feel sit is
more blessed to give than receive" and, hea-
Wy as was the charge of providing for the
wants of so many, 10 use his own language,
"they never wanted bread, ercept ,che,. the mil
ier disappointed them" While he fulfilled the
scripture injunction, ''multiply and repienish
the earth" his heart was gladdened, poor fell
low, by the gleeful laugh and cheerful faces
about him, and he spoke of his fourteen fine
children with as much seeming satisfaction as if
the wealth of the rich land in which he dwelt
were all his own.
A few weeks ago, the principal of a large
factory near ELECTS presented himsel fat the
door Of this densely populated dwelling, and,
in less time perhaps than the writer has been
engaged in penning this article, arranged with
its humble proprietor to transfer his entire
household, and to pay for the services of HIM
self and such of his family as were then able
to become operatives in his manufacturing es-
Enlistment, the sum of f,ceire hundred dollars
per aivl,m!
This humble habitation which, to passer-
by but short time since, exhibited the face of
child at every pane, is now tenantless.

THE SOUTHERN WING.

The course of the Southern Wing Of the
Democracy in Congress upon the Oregon
question, has created some surprise in the
country, but the secret is beginning TO leak
out, and it viii be seen that il is not so much
the horrors and evils of war that they are try
ing 10 avert, as to secure the certain destruc-
ton of the Tariff 1t seems that the Wings
were calculated upon to aid in the work-b>t
''the chivalry" have reckoned ''without their
host" this time. We have no doubt the Wings
are anxious to see the ''Oregon controversy"
amicably adjusted and are willing to make any
Just compromise consistent with the rights and
interests ofthe country rather than become EN-
broilej in war, or subjected to a farther CON
tinuance of a controversy-already of thirty
years existence. But we know too well the
stern integrity and elevated patriotism of the
Wing party ever 10 believe that they will con-
sent to break down the industry of their own
country-and barter away and bestow the pro-
lection now awarded to the labor of their own
counrymen upon Great Britain or any other
Foreign Power. Rather than a sale of the
Tariff shall be the basis of comprehensive
Wings with all their anxiety for peace-will
take the stand prelerring war--to such ads
reputable and inglorous peace. they will never
become party.
We understand the position Of "the chival-
ny" to be this: That the dispute about Oregon
and our difficulties with Mexico shall be settled
through the Intervention of Commercial trea-
ty. They propose Convention at which all
the parties should be represented, and where
a reorganization of our Tariff system should
be submitted. Mr.. Calhoun is doubtless the
originator of this scheme. though Dixon H.
Lewis of Alabama fathers it--and MIR. West
colt of Florida, who is highly regarded and res
pected by the Wings in the Senate, has been
selected to lay the plan before the Wings and
secure their concurrence. But the Wings have
turned from it--and what course will now be
pursued by 'the chivalry" is not yet exactly
determined. We have no doubt that the Pres
ldent would have been well pleased had Mr..
Westcott's mission been successful--as he is
a thorough "Free Trade man"--as much so as
Mr. Calhoun himself. Had this plan succee-
ded, Mr. Polk would probably have submit
ted the Oregon question 10 the Senate and adj
vised with them about the line of compromise
and the terms. With his own party in the
Senate, he cannot succeed--as Allen, Hanne-
gan and several other "whoie or none" men
viii not now yield to any compromise or set
tlement which does not concede the whole ter
ritory to the United States. The difficulty

THE CLAY STAruE.-There are many
Counties in the State thathave notyet reported;
and to save the expense of writing to each, the
Treasurer of the Society would call the atten-
ton Of such of the Vice Presidents and Collec-
tors as have not yet sent in their reports, to do
so during the months of March and April, as
the Committee have contracted with Mr.. Hart
of Kentucky to proceed to Europe this Spring
to execute the Statue. And for the infoma-
ton Of those who have made their reports, the
Treasurer states that she has thus far received
$1,000; but, as it will require some $500 more
to complete the design, in erecting the pc
destal and procuring situation for it. it is
hoped all those who have not sent in the funds
collected, will do so as soon as practicable--ai
the same time to give the name of each sub.
scriber, that all may be recorded. Address

Cold WEArHER.-We talk of cold weather
here sometimes. What would we say of
weather like that which is described by Led
yard, the celebrated traveller, in letter from
Siberia?
"You have no idea of the cold in the region
of Siberia. BY experiments that | made at
Yakusky, | found on the 10Th of November the
mercury lin my thermometer frozen. In De-
cember. found by repeated experiments, that
two ounces of clear quicksilveropenly exposed,
froze hard in fifteen minutes. observed that
in these severe frosts, the air was condensed,
as it is with you in a thick fog--the atmosphere
is frozen-respiration is fatiguing, &C. 1t is a
happy law Of nature, that in such intense cold
there is seldom any wind-when there is, it is
dangerous to be abroad. There are no wells
at Yakusky for it is found by experiment that
the water freezes at sixty feet deep. People
of these regions are therefore obliged to use ice
and snow. They have also ice windows, glass
is of no use to the few who have n; the differ
ence in the state of the air. within and without,
is so great that the glass is covered on the in
side with several inches of frost, and in that
situation it is less luminous than ice. The
timber Of the house splits and opens with loud
cracks--the rivers thunder and open with broad
fssures--all nature groans beneath the rigors of
winter"

JOHN JAooB AsToR.-The following is Civ

high even as $50, 100000. His income on a
moderate estimate, must be $4,000 1000 year,
or 10000 month which is about sal 500
a week; $500 day, $40 an hour, and "a

$3.50, 600 for library in New York, the inter
est of which is to be expended in employing
agents to purchase books and in the erection

A CAUSE OF CRIME.-Justce Coleridge an
eminent English Judge says:
"trom my own experience as aJudge, the
painful conviction has been forced upon my
mind that very much Of the crime which dis
graces our country is mainly attributable TO the
mixture of sexes and of ages in the dwellings
of the poor--a practice that debases and de-
moralizes hehuman mind, and which, unless
counteracted, musteffectually neutralize every
effort made towards the elevation or improve
ment OF the people"
