SsD~ The Martinsburg Independent
states that the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road shops in that city are to be run
hereafter on only eight hours time in
stead Of ten, the new arrangement tax
ing effect last Monday. The cause OF
the reduction in the hours of work is
said to be the difficulty of providing
money enough to pay for full time, the
wages of employees being reduced one
fifth BY the present plan. OF course
this is preferable to no work and no
pay, but it still inhicts serious embarr-
assment upon many mechanics who
have found it all they could do to make
both ends meet, when receiving full
wages.

Eag~ STUMP e. IIAwKs.-Whlle at
Charlestown last week, we called in up
on the proprietols Of the extensive Car
riaee Mandatory, and while there we
inspected an elegant vehicle just finish
ed, called Jaeger" built for DIR.
Starry, of that town. 1t is one of the
neatest vehicles we have ever seen, and
will no doubt take the place of falling
top buggies very soon, and we would
recommend them tothe public generally.
This 'Jaggel" is superbly finished in
every particular, built of the very best
material, and presents handsome ap-
pearance. Messrs. Stump e Hawks are
extensively engaged in building vehi-
cles of every variety, out of the very
best material, and at low prices, and
will vie in every particular, with all city
manufactures. Whilst making an OBJ
servation Of the handsome jaeger"
built per order of DR.. Starry, We sur
missed to oursclf, wonder if the DIR. in
tends to ride alone in it, or whether he
will share part of it with some hand
some damsel of Jefferson County. The
DIR. is a clever, genial, and handsome
bachelor. and should have been captur-
ed long since by one of Jefferson's fair
est daughters. $50 for him, girls.

SIMPLICITY IN LIVING.

To live simply, to master and control
our expenditure, is sore need in all
classes. The influences which surround
us, the ideas in which we have been
brought up, the habits into which we
fall into as a second nature, all sway us
In the same direction. Every family
and every class seems to have caught
hold of the skirts of the one above it,
and to be desperately holding on. Well
rs Mr.. Goodwin Smith says, the best
thing they can do is to let go-the only
thing, indeed which will give them
selves any comfort, or make their lives
or real use in their generation. The
moment they will do SO, and begin res
olutely to live without regard to what
their neighbor on the right spends on
carriages, or their neighbor on the left
in upholstery, they will find themselves
rich for all good purposes. From that
moment it can no longer be said OF us
with truth, that we dare not trust our
wits to make our houses pleasant to our
friends, and so we buy ice creams. And
this most needed of all reforms is just
the one which every soul of us can car
~ through for himself or herself. We
cannot sweep our whole street. No
doubt. But every one of us can sweep
our own door step, and if he will do it
quietly and regularly, anon his right
and left hand neighbor follow, and be-
fore long the whole street is swept.
And in this way, and by this means,
can almost ali those social tangles which
we have been glancing at casually. this
evening, be set right Simple living
To it even the great household ques-
ton. at once the most ridiculous and the
most harrassing of social troubles, will
in tine end yield, will begin at once to
look not wholly insoluble and hopeless,

MANY years ago, monk confined in
an old castle, situated on the bank of the
iver Danube; while watching the con-
struction of bridge across very dan
gerous rapid which ran beneath his cell
window, on seeing the workmen engaged
in the construction of the bridge, fire.
quently fall into the rapid and perish,
gave utterance to an expression which
has passed into an oft quoted adage.
sIn the midst Of lie we are in DEATH"
On Tuesday morning The Sd inst, a
young Swede man by the name of John
johnson, engaged in peeling bark for
w. HI. Osterhout, in the woods near
ST. Mary's, was struck by falling limb
and killed. He was falling tree which
swept down by maple standing near
striking of the limbs in its fall. One of
them limb, about six inches in diameter
struck johnson across the head crushing
in his skull and forcing him by the shock
down upon an axe which he held in his
hand, serving the small bone of the leg
Just below the knee. johnson was an
intelligent and active young man, mar
ried only little over year since, and
leaves a wife and infant child to mourn
his loss. There would seem to be in this
instance species of fatalism, as Mr..
Osterhout and others had endeavored
several times to persuade him to remain
in the tanuery at his usual work, but
with fatal PERSISTENCE he continually re-
fused. C. E. Fl.

ALL officers of the State, including
county. officers according to an amend
ment just adopted by the Constitutional
Convention, arc to have fixed regular
salaries, to which no fees or other emol-
uments are to be attached. This will
entirely do away with the fee bill re-
form which will effect more publication
in politics, than any other measure which
could be possibly adopted. 1t is the
corruption entaied by the fee bill all
over the State, which polutes politics
and makes knaves Of men in public life,
so that if this is abolished; and a sys-
TEN of regular salaries kept within rea-
sonable commercial bounds, we will get
more faithful service, and less degraded
partizan rivalry than that which now
makes so much official business bungle
and contests at the polls piece of black
guardism.-[ State Journal.

ONE of the prolific sources of wrong
in all elections is found 10 the manner
in which all parties colonize voters--that
is, bringing men in distance VINO de-
feat the legal majority of citizens of such
district. An amendment just adopted
by the Constitutional Convention re-
quires voters to reside in district in
which they vote for one month proceed
ing the election, including also natural
lied citizens, who must be a citizen OF
the district for one month also, before be
can vote, which, of course, requires him
to be naturalized one month before cleo
tion before he can vote. This will pre-.
vent much corruption in securing Offices
where the emoluments are large, by bri-
berry and buying support by dividing the
perquistes of their offices. 1t will also
prevent the great rush for naturalization
on the eve of elections il our cities
and counties where the foreign popula
tion is large.

JAY, June 2nd, 1873.

DEAR ADvocATE.-Our vicinity has
been visited by distinguished excursion
lists, which of course, has been the sub
lect Of much comment among the aa-
tiUes. Last week President Grant, the
Postmaster General, Secretary Of State,
Don Cameron, Calvin Narce and other
distinguished gentlemen spent two days
along our streams, trout fishing &C., and
to all appearances they enjoyed them
selves hugely. 1t has been suggested,
(plobably by Democrat)!that Bourbon
suffered more than the trout. We are
told the party were not experts at angl-
ing, but fshermens wages took a sudden
raise and for two days run up 30 eight
dollars with an upward tendency at the
close of the first day, One man fishes
all day and reported at evening with
four trout and got for his services, eight
dollars in cash and a good appetite
There was rather a good joke got off on
the party by two citizens somewha;
noted as hunters, who, for shoy: we will
call Carp & Sol. After the party had
saciated ther appctites for trout their
pallets became itchy for venison. Sc
they applied to Carp & Sol for deer.
and we're told that it was out of the sea
son, it would take fifty dollars to pay the
fine and venison would be dear neat
But who cares tor expenses they must
have deer killedibefore they left Carr
is rather fruitful and suggested to Col
Philips, (President of the Allegheny
Valley Road) who had the party il
charge, that he knew of just one chance
for deer, and if he would steam ur
and lun them up the line a ways they
would try it. They ran up opposite
Jake Englishes and Carp y Sol crossed
over to negotiate for tame deer. Jake
would sell the deer for fifty dollars, bu
the old buck was so poor that Carp d
Sol returned to the car without. him
Philips said poor or not they must lave
the deer. So Carp and Sol killed aud
dressed the dcee. Philips paid Jake
$50 aud returned to the Presidential
party, who, supposing it to be wild deel
right from his forest home, gave Carr
and Sol twenty dollars for their hunting
exploits aud left in fine spirits for Wash
ington with Jake Euglish's old buck.
We can appreciate the visits ST Presi
dent Grant and his attendants to Elt
county as highly as auy one, but consider
an open violation of the Laws of Penn
sylvania as reprehensible in a President
as in private citizea.
