A Coon R EcoMMEsDATIos.-The following, which
we clip from the Winchester Times. meets with our
hearty concurrence. We are sure that the B. & o.
Railroad Company could not find two more faithful
and energetic officers upon whom to bsstow its
favors, and who more respected and esteemed in
this community
In the changes to be made in the running Of trains,
etc, consequent upon the opening the Strasburg
railroad and the extension of direct rail comruui-
cation to Harrisouburg, hope it will be the
pleasure of those in power to give Capt. Lewis
barley and Mr.. Ehen Taylor promotion common
anrate with their merits. The b. d O. X. X Co.,
has not in its employ two more faithful men than
thae men tened. They have had nrduous duties to
perform. arc have acquitted themee Ives we'll. Now,
cav Icsa work and better pay-every man. woman
and child in this community would rejoice ovcrit.

LOCAL MISCELLANY.

Memorial Day.
The time for the annual offerings ofrespect
to the memories of the cherished dead, who
fell in battle around us, is rapidly approach>
ing. This custom, which, We trust, will never
fall into disuse, now claims our attention.
The season of flowers is at hand, and prepa-
rations should be made to gather them, as has
been our wont, to decorate aud make fragrant
the graves of the heroes whom it should be
our delight to honor. In honoring them we
also honor ourselves.
In order that the subject may have proper
consideration, it has been suggested that a
meeting of both the ladies and gentlemen of
the county, be held at LEE HALL, in
Charlestown, on TUESDAY, the 24th inst,
at s o'clock, P. NJ, to make all necessary ar
engagements for the pious work referred to. .
We trust that all will regard it as duty
to attend this meeting, if they conveniently
Gan, and show by their presence that they
have not forgotten the men who sacrificed
their precious lives for cause that lay so near
tho hearts. and had so many of the earnest
prayers of the people of the South.
