Old Things Have Passed AWAY.


This is at least of the old me hod OF treating

Is no longer considered wise put a patient to the
torture in order to cure bin of disease in which
pain is already under mining the energies of his
system True science ranges itself on the side of
nature, and endeavors to assist her in her fight
against disease This is the province of Hos,e,,er's
Stomach Bitters, she most approved tonic ever ad
vertised in this country. 1t may be recommended
as fall medicine par excellence; for it is in the
fall that biiiousneis, dyspepsia fevers
are especially prevalent. The Frame exhausted by
the heats of summer, ia relaxed and feeble at its
close. and requires, we may say demands, artificial
assistance. Afford it that assistance IN occasional
doses of Hosetter's Stomach Biters, and the evils
referred to may be escaped. Throusho the Tar
West, and on the steaming aluvial Uf the Southern
rivers all the varieties of periodical fever prob
ably rife to-day. Had course OF Hostetter's Bit
tiers been commenced by the suffer a month ago
!. E., before tn unhea lthy Get in, seven
eghths of them would in all pr obabiitv be in their
usual health at the present time. So much for want
OF forecaste. So much for not keeping in the house
and usn daily, the best safeguard gsinst
and endemic fevers
As fiecks of imposors and imltators are trying
to follow in the wake OF the great American rem.
edy, therefore be that the article YOU buy ia
genuine and verified by the proper trade marks
The true article can only be obtained in bottles

SHENANDOAH VALLEY r. R.-A meeting
of the Board of Directors of the Shenandoah
Valley Railroad was, last week, held in the
city of Philadelphia, aud was presided over
by President Thomas a. Scott a large
amount of important business was transacted,
looking chiefly to the completion of the work
as far as the Chesapeake and Ohio road, at or
near Staunton, and the link between Sher-
herdstown and Hagerstown. 1t is thought
that the grading of the latter portion of the
road will be put under contract and finished
by the spring, when the work of superstruc>
ture will be prosecuted vigorously all along
the line. President Scott manifested de-
termination to urge the enterprise with as
little delay as possible, and the we'll known
success that always attends any matter to
which he diligently puts his hands, furnishes
abundant guaranty of early contamination
of this desirable Improvement

nouncement, was held in Lee Hall on Tues
day night last The attendance was very good
and the meeting was called to order by calling
N. S. White, Esq, to the Chair, who ex>
planned the objects of the meeting in few
pointed and forcible remarks. The meeting
was then addressed by Rev G. " Andrews,
ID. ID, of Shepherdstown, who. instead of
dwelling upon the ordinary themes Of temper
ance lecturers. proceeded at once to first glance
at the rise and progress Of temperance reform,
and then entered into an able advocacy of the
Ohio and Illinois temperance law, or the 'new
departure" as it is termed This law provides
that every persnn who takes ont license to sell
Intoxicating liquors shall give bond in sum
sufficient to cover reasonable damages that
may be recovered by parties Interested for
injury done by the sale of such liquors, pros
vided the way in which suits may be brought.

adopted:
Whereas, There arc now licensed within

Intoxicating liquors, besides Druggists wh,,

DEsECRATIoN.-Our attention has been
called to additional graveyard dissertations, in
the way of filching little mementoes of affec>
ton from the resting places of the dead in
Edge Hill Cemetery. The person who would
commit such despicable act is certainly lost
to all sense of honor or proprety, and we trust
will be detected and given the full benefit of
the town ordinance covering such cases.

RAID BY HoRsE Tn1EvEs.-Thisi town

RAID BY HORSE THIEVES. This town
and vicinity, within the. past four days, has
been made the scene of one of the most dar-
ing and sweeping raids by horse thievesrever
known in the annals of the county. The
first operations of this character were COM
menced on Friday night when fine horse
belonging to DIR. G. f. Mason was taken from
rack in town and two valuable animals of
Mr.. Geo. w. Sadler were stolen from lot
in the suberbs. On the same night a saddle
and bride were taken from the premises of
Mr.. Armstead Orem,. below town on the,
Bloomery road, and bride from Mr.. John
Kaiu. 'asge~.a
Not content with this, the vilainous thieves
made another raid on Saturday night, when
one horse was taken from Mr. George w.
NARROW and another from Mr.. J. Thomas ALL
stadt.
This is indeed one of the boldest and most
daring operations in the way of horse>stealing
we have ever known, aud has had the effect
of putting every horsepower in the commu-
nifty on the alert. Measures have been insti.
'N'SN, wv UNNECESSARILY cy "utCu IL Is HOpe0
these scouudrels will yet be caught and swift
and full retrbution be melted out to them I'm.
der the law.
In view of these and other high handed
outrages of the kind that have been perpe>
trated in the county within the past few years,
and which have as yet received no adequate
check, we think it behooves our farmers and
others to organize at once mutual protection
club-such for instance as one now in exis.
tenee in Augusta county19by whose agereea
ted efforts horse thieves have but little chance
for escape. We throw out the suggestion,
and it rests with those interested whether thew
will act upon it or not
Z. S.-Before going to press we learn of a
rumor that some of the above named horses
have been captured in Morgan county
