n6y JUDGE MELvIN.-This gentle
man, who is now presiding at our Circuit
Court, dispatches business with a great
deal of promptness and precision, and is
winning many friends in the commnni-
ty as well as in the bar He is gen
tleman of high legal attainments as well
as social and affable qualities, and pre-
sides with much dignity, and to sub
stantiate what we have said, we quote
from the Berkeley Statesman as fol
lows -
Judge Melvin has made a favorable
impression upon the bar and citizens OF
our county. His frank and genteel man.
ners, his unvarying courtesy to all who
came in contact with him, his robust and
manly judgment, the clearness and
promptitude of his decisions, have made
an impression here upon our people, not
soon to be forgotten.

success the Fairs of this Society during
the past three years have perhaps been
unequalled, as evinced by the immense
attendance of visitors. Arrangements
are being made to render the coming
Exhibition still more attractive. The
grounds have been enlarged, and the
track extended to half mile Hon.
Horace Greedy will deliver the annual
address. The Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road Company, will issue round-trip
tickets, and will carry articles and stock

Pennsylvania. 1t is about a railroad
between Harrisburg on the Susque-
hanna, in Pennsylvania, to the Potomac
at this place, to connect with the Shen-
andoah Valley Railroad here. Both
parties are contending for the same
route, and the party who has the most
"spondniir" is likely to win, and we
stand to welcome the victor whichever
it may be.

LsV~ ELMwOOD CEMETERY.--1he
Board of Managers of Elmwood Gene
terry Company, met Sept. 9, and con-
frmed the act of the Executive Com
mittee in laying all annual tax on the
lots, viz, one dollar, when the lot hold
er owns one lot, and Scots for each addi-
tional lot. This tax is necessary to in
sure permanent fund for the proper
preservation of the Cemetery. The
Company contemplate building front
fence of stone 12 feet high, and an
iron railing 1-2 feet high. This will
be permanent and beautiful.
A house for the Superintendent and a
Chapel are very mnch needed. The
Chapel can be under the same roof with
the Superintendent house and will cost
comparatively little. 1t will be very
convenient for funeral services-espe-
cially in inclement weather.
The house for the Superintendent is
absolutely necessary, as he cannot while
living in town, protectthe grounds from
intrusion and depreciation. Moreover
at present it is often inconvenient to find
him when needed TO dig a grave. Of
course all that is required to make these
improvements is money. How shall it
be raised is the question. The ladies
are very much interested in the Gene
terry, and have manifested their interest
by raising S275 by concerts. Won't
they lend us helping hand now !?
