The New MovEMENT.-Ift the committee OF

Southern people in iairer light before the
people of the North, as some suppose, they
will have accomplished fully as much as we
believed. Of this we are doubtful now. The
fear that the project of the committee, if sue
cessiul, would result in the overthrow Of the
Radical party in the South, in our opinion,
has precipitated the resolution which has passed

LOVE OF MONEY Jacob Binkley and his
sister Elizabeth, two aged persons, died last
week, within short time OF each other, at
their residence in East Washington street, in
this town. These two old people have lett an
estate variously estimated at from fifteen to
twenty-fiV thousand dollars and yet they
lived and died in the most abjsc. poverty, de.
nying themselves all the comforts and most of
the necessaies of lille, for the poor qualification
of adding dollar to dollar The brother died
last, and just before bis death requested a
neighbor to take charge of such finds as were
in the house, consisting of a box Of coin, sup.
posed to contain eight or ten hundred dollars,
and several parcels of bank notes. which were
wrapped up in old papers and rags and stuck
about in the bureau drawers. Besides these
effects, they owned seven or eight houses IN
this town and Funkstown, and held consider
able amount of private securities And yet
as already stated, they refused to make use OF
even small part of these ample means to rem,
der their last days on earth comfortable, and
really died, as they had lived, in a wretched
state of restitution Having no issue, their
estates will go to three nieoes living 10 the

BAD TREATMENT. One of the Pastors Of
our town was called upon last week to marry a
couple eleven miles in the country. He OBJ
iected on the plea of other engagements, but
the parties insisted so earnestly; saying that
all of their arrangements were made, that he
consented to go. Accordingly he hired horse,
rode over one of the worst roads in America,
and reached the place at the appointed time
only to be cody told that they had changed
the hour for the marriage, and had engaged
the services of another minister to perform the
ceremony. He was not even invited to dinner,
but came back cold weary and hungry, and
pretty fully resolved that the next time he
hired horse and rode twenty-five miles to
marry couple, he would know before hand
that it would not be fools errand. It is
to be hoped that his more fortunate q brother,
who was finally called on, secured fee sufficient
to shoe his horse. Lexington Gazette.

THE WINTER IN EUROPE has resembled our

THE weather continues most extraordinarily

mer overcoats; trucks piled up with bouquets Of
vioets pass along the streets; the skating clubs
are one and all frantic; the sables aud ermnes
of our Paris elegantes lie at home in ignomini'
Gus dleness it is as much as ladies can do to
bear the warmth of thetiniest of tiny mufs.
The Paris journals try to console amateurs
of cold winds and ice by telling them that ia
1922, 1907. and further back, in 1871, the tenn
perature was as unusually warm as it is this
year; that 10 1892 the Germans never lighted
their stoves; that, 1917, 1912, and 1907 were
likewise wonderfully mild that in 1888 the
gardens were full of flowers in January ; that
in January 1921, cherries ripened, and grapes
in May; and that in l. III the trees were covered
with leaves, flowers bloomed, and birds built
their nests, while the little ones fedged in the
month of February. "-Bah. Com.
