ES' Senate bill No. 6S, entitled ga bill
providing fer certain publications for the
benefit of the people" has been passed by that
body and is now before the House of Dele-
gates. We have not seen the bill itself, bu.
believe that it requires notices of Sheriff"s
sales, sales Of deliquent lands, &C., to be pub.
iished in the newspapers of the county 1t
certainly ought to become law. The old
practice of posting everything of this kind at
the Court House door is away behind the
times and no longer gives to these matters the
desired publicity. 1t used to answer tolerably
we'll when every voter in the country had to
go to the Court House to vote, but even then
the information did not reach as many persons
as county newspaper does. AT present, the
door of the Court House is not seen once in
the year by one out of every ten citizens of
the county, and the posting of a notice there
to give it publicity is utterly absurd. We
hope the House of Delegates will pass the
bill Wheeling Register %.

The hoarseness and sore throat peculiar to
some kinds of consumption is one thing, while

dangerous, and is the product of a fearful and
widespread disease whilst the latter. being
merely an obstruction, can be removed bv q

One need hardly be mistaken forsthe other. as
the great constitutional disturbance in that of

perceptible, as a great deal is gained in taking

BEAUTIFUL WoMAN.-The hair is the
browning glory of woman. There are few
moderate defects which cannot be remedied
by the proper disposition of the tresses. But
when the hair begins to fall out, or turn graz,
in young people, or with those in the prime
of life, there is cause for real regret. When
this is the case, Halls Vegetable .Sici7ian
Hair Renewer will be found to be first>c class
remedy, far superior, as sound medical me-
dun, to any thing else before the public It
actually restores gray hair to its original color,
aud in the great majority of cases, causes it to
grow again when tits becoming thin. 1t is
not like many popular preparations, mere
wash, but scientific discovery, Endorsed and
used by physicians of character. Address r.

THE COUNTY SUBSCRIPTIONS

Mr.. Editor:-In former article on this
subject, reference was made to the fact that
during the time that the control of our rail-
road has been in the hands of the Central I'm
provement Company, bysvirtue of contract
made in the summer of 1870, the place of
crossing the Potomac has been determined
upon by the @. v. r. r., and with the im>i
probability of the Pa Central or the @. v. r.
r., which are one and the same, building an
independent road along side their present.one,
it has been generally conceded that instead of
the s. V. r. r. crossing the Potomac at Shep-
herdstown, a branch is proposed to be made
from the s. b. r. to connect with that
part of the G. v. extension known as the NJ.
& p. r. R.. at or near. Bedington.
The object in calling attention to these
facts, is to lead the people of Jefferson aud
Clarke to take some action in determining the
route of the C.. v. r. r. extension FROM Mar
tinsburg-through Jefferson aud Clarke coun-
at Leesburg, with the Alexandria railroad,
and to express the fear that in the absence of
any action on our part the road may be driven
via. Winchester.
The subscription of $3.50, 900 was made for
the express purpose of having competition in
markets and railroad transportation, and not
in spirit of friendship or otherwise to any
present OF future railroad company, and if the
county find by investigation. that they can Sc
cure the benefits growing out of railroad con-
nection with Martinsburg and Shepherdstown
in one direction, and Front Royal and Lees
burg in the other, at less cost to them than
by any other plan, the people of the county
will be very apt to support and cary out the
plan, caring little whether the cars transports
ing them or their produce to Hagerstown-
the termini of the G. " r. R. aud the w.
M. r. R.-be marked q. V. r. R. or NJ. g.
P, or going in the direction of Alexandra,
whether the cars be marked A L. & H., w.
& o. or the initials of some other company.
