"Onward, right onward,
Into the Valley Of Death,
Rode the Six Hundred.

But larger, by hundreds multiplied into
millions, than the doomed band who rode to
swift destruction in Tennyson's poem, is the
great calyacade of unhappy men who are
rushing to untimely graves, followed by the
gaunt spectre Dyspepsia. This is all wrong,
and should cease. Plantation Bitters, the
great Stomachic Pain Killer, cures Dyspep-
sia, Heartburn, Headache, Vertigo, Dizziness,
and all symptoms of kindred character, as if
by magic. For Languor, Lassitude, Great
Weakness and Mental Depression, they have
a most wonderful effect.

A NecEssIrY.-A friend suggests the ne
cessity Of the establishment of Post Office
at Peter Arnold's, in Cumberland Valley
about seven miles South Of town, The place
named is about half way between Bedford and
Centreville, and the establishment Of an Office
there would accommodate considerable Of a
population. It would be but little additional
trouble to the mail carriers, being upon tire
direct mail route to Cumberland. We hone

THAr's WHAT'S THE MATrEE.-Now that
Hancock, (whom the Democracy of this place
boasted as their choice for the Presidency
has been so completely overthrown by his
pretended friends, and eiolent opponent OF
the war and Hancock's bitterest enemy nom
mated by the Democracy for the Presidency,
the soldier vote may be counted on as being
cast almost solid for GENERAL GRANT. We
have heard of several good soldiers who
have expressed such determination, al
though they have never been known to Vote
anything butthe Democratic ticket. Hurrah
for the hero Of Appomattox!
They may weep for Stonewall jackson and
of Lee they still may vaunt,
While we shout for Appomattox, and vote
for General Grant;
They may sympathize with Davis aud uphold
his beaten crew,
But no rebel Gray shall ever stay the Loyal
Boys in Blue

WHERE ARE OUR BoRoUGH OFFICEEs.-The
evening and night OF the Sd, of July was
characterized by the most uproarious noise,
riot and tumult that have disgraced our town
for long time. Where the officers we're,
whose duty it is to preserve the peace and
good order of the community, no one can tell.
One thing is certain, they were not where
their duty required them. IF we cannot have
better officers, it were better to have none.
If half the drunken fighting, swearing, yelling
rowdies who perambulated the town and
made night hideous with their drunken brawls,
had been arrested and put to jail as they
ought % have boon. and as they would have
been if we had had borough officers worthy
Of the name, the good name If our usually
quiet town might have been preserved and
our citizens permitted to sleep in peace and
quiet. We rejoice in the annual return Of
Independence day" but do not care to have
as its prelude such pandemonium as char
acterized its recent advent.

HAIL SToRN.--One of the most terrific hail
storms witnessed in this section, for mum
Der of years, visited us on Tuesday Of last
week. Dark, lowering clouds and loud peaIs
of thunder announced its approach and in
a very short space of time it burst forth in
all its fury. At three O'Clock the storm be,
gan, and fGr one lr it stormed terrifcally,
and raiued and hailed almost necessarily. A
number of the shade trees along the streets
we're uprooted, and others stripped Of their
limbs. Hail stones fell that would measure
one inch and a-half in circumference, break
ing out window glass in their descent. The
lightning struck house in the neighborbood
Of the Chalebyate Spring, but did not serious
ly damage the building or injure any of the
inmates. In the country considerable dam
age was done the corn and wheat. The
heightened duration ofthe storm is a remark
able feature, hail storms scarcely ever being
known to continue more than few minutes
whilst this one lasted almost an hour.

The Coming Canvass

The coming canvass presents to the
people Of West Virginia an opportunity
TO relieve themselves of the bad rulers
and the bad rule under which they suf-
lered so much and for so long. We be-
Ileve that if the opportunity be proper
iy improved, relief will surely come.
The signs all over the country point
to great revolution in public senti-
ment. During the past three years the
party in power, claiming the glory OF
appTessing the rebellion, received a
spurious prestige in consequence, and
the support Of majority Of the North
tEn people. But its excesses have lost it
al the influence which, whether justly
or otherwise, it had acquired by rea-
sou of the war. Patriotism has ceased
