SEEKING FOR INFoR MATIoN.-Th ILL.,
informed thing across the way interrogates
last week as follows: did j. d. MARK-
HAM 60 to Washington before or after the
appropriation of $4,000 was made ?"
We answer he went before and stayed there
attending to duties that ought to have
been discharged by Mr.. SAWYER, at an
expense to this village of FIVE hundred dol
lars. And, further, the same thing asks,
did J. D. MARKHAM obtain the sl7, 500
that Is now being expended on our har-
Dor p We answer that he went there for
that purpose, and vas sent there at the es
pecial request of Mr.. SAWYER, who said
that he (SAwYER) could not do anything
for US unless Mr. MARKHAM was sent there.
question: How long since has the power
to make appropriations passed into the
hands of the engineers p We answer that
we never said or insinuated that the power
to make appropriations rests with the en-
gineers but We now say that the power to
order expenditures on public works now in
process Of construction does rest with the
government engineers; and in support of
our statement We say that the government
engineer, Gen. HUMPHREY, has. since
Congress adjourned, ordered Mr.. SMoK E to
resume work on our harbor and to continue
at work as long as LIE could during the fall.
IF he has done SO without authority, why
don't the Tribune stop it2

BA- The Tribune of yesterday makes an
indecent and unprovoked attack upon the
character of HENRY SIBREE, Esq, of this
village, because he chooses to think fer
himself instead of playing second fiddle to
that dishwater concern. Dir. SIBREE is too
well and favorably known to require any
defence as our hands; and, besides, he is
able to speak for himself, and will proba
bly, do SO.

House of the " Run District " from its former
ocation to Market House Square, but when
all was in readiness, and the horse leverage
and hand-sp;kes applied, the sleepers gave
way, the flooring left its foundation, and the
structure was moved just far. enough to be a
serious obstruction to the sidewalk, and pre-
sent an unsightly appearance to the street.
We hope some one will take it in hands to
have it taken down in parcels and removed to
its intended location as we learn the tenants

HEAVY REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION
One of the finest hotels in the whole western
country, is the Pacific House, located at St.
Joseph, Mo. For a long period this house
was kept by our popular county >man, John
j. Abel, and in its management, he and his
estimabIe lady, made hosts of friends, and we
hope, accumulated reasonable share of this
worlds goods. A few weeks ago, Mr.. A, in
conjunction with two other gentlemen, pur-
chased the establishment for the handsome
sum of ST. 500; and St Joseph paper says
that at the figures at which real estate is
quoted in that city, the price paid for the
hotel is far below its actual value The
friends of Johnny Abel in this section
and they are numcrous-will rejoice at this
evidence of his prosperity.

BUTTER is a scarce commodity in our com
munity, aud the price exhorbitant. Yet it is
luxury which: those who are able will have
at any price, and indeed the poor must &C,
cdsionally make it substitute for meat. We
noticed a few days ago at the store of Mr.
Jacob B. Brown several frkins Of this article
which had been procured in Baltimore, though
he informed US that it had been made in
Rockingham. Its appearance was as solid
and its taste almost us sweet, as that from our
best dairies. He designs to keep on hand a
general supply during the winter.

VIRGINIA, Nov. 9th, 1868.
DEAR SIR With feelings of gratitude to
our Heavenly Father, we announce to the
friends of the Church, that God in the exercise
of his saving grace, has blessed this appoint
ment with glorious revival of religion, which
commenced October Sd and is stillin progress.
The result thus far, is that about ninety souls
have been restored, eighty-one of whom have
joined the Church at this appointment, tits
proper to say that the preacher ih".chafge,
and his worthy colleague, labored faithfully
and effectually during the first two weeks of
our meeting, and left only on account of
appointments at other places-since then we
were fovored with the services of Rev. John
L. James, late Of Alexandria, who labored
successfully and efficiently, winning many
souls to Christ. He now goes, by order of
the Presiding Elder, to Jefferson Circuit,
Winchester District, whittier our prayers and
best wishes follow him hay the Lord pour
out upon him the fulness of his blessing, and
continue to crown his labours with Success
Praying that God may widen and extend his
gracious work, until not only our own homes
and hearths may each rear affairs to His Holy
Name, but that even the isles of the sea may
ere long smoke with living incense, we leave
our cause in His hands.
Respectfully,
THOMAS S HuN1puREy

SAB CASES OF BUKNINa.-Tn the last
number of the Shepherdstown Register, we
fluid the following in reference to two very sad
cases of burning in the vicinity of that town.
While Miss Maggie Rinehart, third daugh-
ter of Christian Rinehart, deceased, near this
place, was lying down before the fire, on Sun
day morning last, reading, she fell asleep, and
while in that state her clothes took fire, and
che was very badly burned before she awokc
She ran down stairs and the fire was extin-
guised by Mr.. Charles Knott, who happened
to be near, by throwing his overcoat around
her. Had itnot been for his timely assistance,
the burning would have been more serious
Hopes are entertained of her recovery.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS accident of the same
kind occurred on Monday evening last to a
little daughter aged years, of Mr.. VIM. H.
Marmaduke, of our town. The child was in
front of the stove Parching corn, in the
absence of its mother, when its dress was set
on fire, from the draught of the stove. and
when the mother returned its clothes were
entirely consumed, and the child horribly
burned. 1t lived in agony until Wednesday
when death put end to its suferings.

LOOK TO Ir-The benefits resulting from
Life Insurance, must be so manifest to all,
that no argument on the subject is deemed
necessary. By reference to advertisement, it

lar and entirely responsible Company, known
as the Arlington Mutual, of Richmond, Va,

BUI.LsKIN MILb.-The proprietor of this
Mill, Mr.. ISAAC N.ssRENNER, has recently
made such improvements in its interior ar
raugcmcnts, as will enable him.to meet all the
dsanands.. that may be made upon him by the
community in which he is located. By the
introduction of new boiling cloths, he is
prepared to grind aud bolt any quality OF flour
that his customers may desire and instead of
exchanging -four for wheat as. heretofore, he
will manufacture fl ,ur to order from wheat
furnishe ed him. so that if farmer furnishes
a superior article of wheat he may rely upon
a superior article of flour. The advantage is,
you get the -four from your own wheat and
the offall too. In addition, his mill is arranged
for che grinding of uckwheat, and from a
sample sent US we are ables-to speak of its
excellence. We are under obligations to. Mr..
t. for 4 nice lot of flour, buckwheat and
frominy, which he sent us last..week.

AT LAST FoUND-Our readers will re-
member the suspected murder in 1868, in tho
county of Morgan, Of SAMUEL LLOYD, for
merly citizen of this county, and brother
Of Mr. Barney Lloyd of our town. At the
time of the occurrence, the brother spent
considerable time in endcavofirs to find some
clue to the mysterious affair, but had to give
mp sbe matter as fruitless. At length, as we
learn from tie Berkeley Union, of last week,
the mystery has been unravclIed, and the
missing man found and identified. That
paper says
4 man by the name of Saudcrs, was in
,.ctcd in Morgan county, for the murder of
ono LLOYD. The facts as we understand them
,nakc this = horrible affair. 1t appears Sau-
GERS in connection with another person, per-
saadcd Lloyd to go hunting, they knowing
That he always had about him large sum of
,soney: Ia the woods they shot him. Sau.
tcrs was afterwards arrested in lIagerstown,
and i,loyi's knife found on him, but no one
could swear that Lloyd was dead; all that
could be said, he was missiDg-consequen
Savdcrs was discharged. \ few weeks since
citizen of Morgan county, whilst crossing
the mountain, discovered the remains of a
human skeleton, which were recognized by
thc shoes that were on his feet, and by lcath-
or belt, as the remains of Lloyd. The back
part of the skull had what appeared to be a
bullet hole ia il, We also understand that
Sauder's accompliee confessed the crime on
his death bed. We sincerely hope the viii
liam may be caught and brought to Justice
y more cold blooded affair We never heard
of; but the end will show another example of
chat old adage ''murder will out"

WINTER.-The early part of last week, and
the latter part of the week preceding, were
sad reminders of the approach of winter, and
as consequence, of the want and destitution
that must TALL on many of the households of

enough and to spare, hold the less fortunate
in remembrance, for though the present hour
may indicate genial sunshine, Old Boreas
will soon again resume his sway.
