KILLED BY LIGnTNING.-During the
prevalence Of the tremendous thunder
storm in the ncighborhood Of Fair Play,
Washington County, Md ,on on the 4th
of July, about noon the dwelling ofMr.
George llighba~ger, in Fair Play, was
struck by lightning, anl Mr. H. who
had just finished his dinner, aud was
standing in the basement door Of the
backbuiIding, eatinga piece ofpic, wasin-
stantly killed His wife was standing
near him at the time, but escaped iniu-
~, further than severe shock. The
storm WAS raging with such violence,
that people closed up their houses, and
no one knew of the sad fate Of MIR. II.
until little son notified ncighbor or
two who repaired at once to the place,
and while with the llteess remains Of
Mr. II. in the basement, another neigh
Dor, Just across the road, discovered
that the main house was on ire, and
rushed out through the food Of rain
that was descending, and notified those
having charge of Mr.. II. in the base
ment, who at once carried his body out,
and placed it near an out-building, being
afraid to take it to any of the adjoining
houses, lest they might also be burned.
They then set to work to subdue the
fire, which, aided by the torrents ofrain
that were coming down, they succeed
ed in doing. not however, until the en-
tire roof and upper story were consum.
ed. A portion Of the furniture, bed
clothing and wearing apparel was des-
troved. Mr. II. was blacksmith by
trade; was an industrious, upright, good
citizen, and his sudden death has cast
melancholy pal! over the people Of the
village

By APPROPRIATE NAME.-Col. Hun
ter, of the Winchester Times, who was
a member of the editorial excursion, up
North, and our old friend Fernent Of
the Charlestown Free Press, the grand
daddy all editors, being also anon
Der of the party, was entitled "old Brig
ham Young" according to the Times
article, which was a very appropriate
cognomen. The article says =
Another Of the notable places 10 FL
mira is its insane Asylum, which was
visited by a portion Of our party.
Among the inmates Of this Institution
is lady who imagipes every stranger
to be some prominent public character;
and when Col. Bay Ior Of Augusta, one
of our party, who is director Of
our Stanton Asylum, approached
her, she called him "Old Bill Seward"
and declared she would have nothing TO
DO with him, as he had been instrument
tai in having her sent there. Thus re-
buffed, the modest Baylor retired, where
upon the venerable Gallaher ofthe "Old
Family Journal" thinking himself a
better looking man, assumed paternal
smile and tried his luck, but only to
meet similar fate, and to be ienoun-
ced as "Old Brigham Young" These
names stuck to the gentlemen during
the trip.

Boz Hon. A. r. BorELER.-It is

BD- Hon. A. r. BoTELER.-lt Is
very encouraging to the friends Of Hon.
A. r. Boteler to know that he is daily
gaining strength in the Western por-
ton of the District Of the fitness OF
Col. Boteler for the position no one
will question; he presents record
without spot or blemish; his known
conservative principles; the confidence
reposed in him by the people his hos
tility to political knavery and scheming;
his uuswerYing fidelity to his State and
Country in the hour of their darkest
peril. all combine to make him the man
for the place,
Mr.. Boteler has been known in State
and National politics for more than a
quarter of a century, and he is among the
few Nirginians who have adopted as
their motto the good old proverb, Let
the office seek the man and not the man
the office" What contrast is here
presented, as in these later days, long
before the Convention is held, candi-
dates appear in Ward and Town eau
cuses, in County and District Conyen
tons, and on the Hastings, advocating
their own claims-begging for the
place. until they are looked upon by
the masses as office-hunters and place
ge;ters--until the honest men of the
district are sick at heart at the very
thought of a political campaign. What
a change has come over the politicians
of to day. In the anie-belhcm times a
Virginian would hsre blushed for shame
at the thought of buying or selling con
ventions like sheep in the SHAMELESS.
Mr.. Boteler's friends have every rea-
son to be proud of him-not alone for
his many abilities, but for another virtue
which is possessed by but few in these
degenerate days-that Of refusing to
"blow his own bazoo." The signs Of
the times are encouraging, indeed, and
when the people are heard it will be in
thunder tones, so unmistakable that the
trading politicians" will tremble with
7ery fear at the sound, Push on the
good work with will and the triumph
of right, justice and the peoples favor
lite will be certain and complete.
The Register has no hesitancy in adj
vocatiug the claims of Col. Boteler, for
Congress, and believes that to-day he is
the choice Of large majority of the vo-
tiers of the district, and that his accepta-
bility TO the people will be made mani
fest wherever they are allowed fair and
free expression, and the time has come
now when the people demand to be
heard Oh these questions-and they will
be heard.

Bag- TOWNSHIP CoNvENToSs.-The
Democratic Conservative caucus ofShep-
herd and Potomac Townships will be
held in the Court House in Shepherds
town on Saturday, July goth, at 3 p.
NJ, for the purpose ofselecting delegates
to attend the Nominating County Con
vention to be held in Charlestown, on
Monday, July 22nd.
The Township of Potomac is entitled
to three delegates in the County Con
vention, and Shepherd four delegates
two from Dutfields precinct and two
from Shepherd precinct. 1t behooves
the voters of the townships to be on
hand, and see that every Conservative
voter attends the township Convention
so that in the selection of delegates to
the County Convention the wishes and
the will of the people may not be thwar
ted, but that representative men-men
Unknown honesty and Integrity, menthat
cannot be bought-may be sent to the
Convention to look after the interest
of the voters of this end of the County.
Too often the township caucuses are
left to be run by few, who so manage
and manipulate affairs that the majority
Of the party have really little to say in
the selection of officers to be voted for.
This should not be, and we would urge
that every voter be on hand at the time
appointed and take part in the proceed
ings of the caucus and shows by their
presence, if nothing else, that they are
in favor of being represented by men
who will not ''trade," but who will as
sert and demand their rights in the
Convention.
Perhaps it may not be out of place
here to drop remark in regard to the
distribution ofthe County officers. Shep-
herd and Potomac Townships must not
be overlooked in the distribution, but
should have fair, just and equitable
proportion of the officers. This is not
uttered as a threat nor as an intimida-
ton, but we say it believing that By
common consent this end of the County
ought TO be recognized in the Conven-
ton, and not only should these two
Townships be recognized, but the Coun-
ty Convention should studiously avoid
anything like paltiality and give each
Of the townships representation
on the County ticket. If this is done
harmony and unanimity will prevail,
otherwise there may be discord-and
probable defeat So if the Convention
is composed Of the best Of men-men
who are themselves not candidates-the
distribution will be fairly made and the
ticket elected. We would again urge
it upon every voter to be present and
see to il that none but tried and true
men are cent as delegates to the Con
ventlon. In time of peace prepare foI
war, so in time of caucus prepare for
the County Convention.

This institution. conducted ty Rey. }.
|. Miller, although started but two years
ago, we are glad to learn, is rapidly
growing ia popularity. 1t is the only
Female Seminary in the Lutheran Gen
eral SvEod, and we are glad to learn
that the people Of the Church are begin
ming to see the propriety, not only of
educating their daughters, but Of ednca-
ting them at their own Schools. The
Third Session will open oD Monday the
3rd of September next. The School has
an excellent corps Of teachers, and every
facility to render the, pupils comfortable.
The Second Commencement eXerci-
ses took place few days ago, which
proved very interesting. Rev. Mr..
Hawkins, pastor ofthe Lutheran Church
OF this town, delivered the address on
the occasion. \ correspondent to the
Lmhran Fsitor, published at Colum-
bia, S. c., speaks Of it IN the following
complimentary manner -
The prominent feature of Intervening
was the address OF Rev. Mr.. Hawkins,
which has been universally spoken Of,
bv those who heard it, in the most com
piimentary terms. The admiration of
many of his hearers indeed amounted
to enthusiasm. For some thirty-tye or
forty minutes he dwell upon the great
ness and glory OF an earnest and consis-
tent life, and presented his sound an!
wholesome thoughts, glowing imagery,
in an earnest and impressive style OF
oratorv which could not but produce
marked effect 1t was without doubt
one of the very best addresses OF the
sort have ever heard, with nothing
commonplace about it. You in South
Carolina no doubt know all about what
Mr. Hawkins can do. but we IN Virgin
ia, as general thing, did not. Most OF
us were taken by surprise, and had our
minds and hearts carried away by storm.
Many commencement ocGasons will
come and 90 here before Mr.. Hawkins
address will be cxcelled, or the memory
of it fade from the minds of those who
were privileged TO hear it.

Ssy- OF IMpoETANcE.-The Rtpubli-
can Congressional Committee of this,
the 2nd District, have issued their call
for a Congressional Convention to meet
at Piedmont, on Thursday, July 25th,
for the purpose Of nominating candi-
date for Congress 10 be uotrd for al The
general election for State cbicers on the
An 1hursday in .4ugust nsrt In view
of the above announcement would it not
be well for the Conservatives OF the
District TO be on their guard and know
to a certainty whether the election for
congressman. is to be held on the 4th
Thursday of August, or on the 18th
Thursday of October.
As contested election cases have been
decided for the past few years 1t would
be useless TO contest the seat OF the Re
publican candidate that will be elected
on the 4th Thursday in August, for
there will be no opposition to him, as
the Democratic Conservative Convcn
ton will not meet until sometime III
September. some weeks after the cleo
ton, and as Jacob will have the grant
ing or issuing of the certificate of cleo
ton, he may, in these days Of trading,
give the certificate to q man who is
really not entitled to it. We therefore
think it Of the utmost Importance that
the Conservatives should know which
is the day upon which Congressman are
to be voted for. Possibly it is rather
late to call the Conservative Conven-
ton to nominate a candidate tor Con
gresham, and vote for him on the 4th
Thursday in August, yet something
should be done to prevent the loss Of the
District to the Conservatives through
want of knowledge as to the time Of
holding the election. We believe that
i, is customary in all of the states to
vote for Congressman al the time that
State officers are elected, as in Indiana,
Ohio, Iowa, etc. and not on the day on
which the Presidential election occurs.
In this, as in many other cases, an
ounce of prevention will he worth more
than pound of cure.
