nSTHE HARpER's FERRY PROPERTY

nSTHE HARPERs FERRY PROPERTY.
The Attorney General has received a
letter from the U. S. District Attorney
for West Virginia in reference to the
Harper's Ferry property. The District
Attorney states that at the last Septem-
Der term of the U. S. District Court at
Wheeling he obtained decree in favor
of the U. S. against Francis G. Adams,
the purchaser of the government prop
erty at Harper's Ferry, for the full
amount claimed, not one cent having
been paid on the purchase. The decree
was that in case that in the failure OF
Adams and his sureties to discharge
their obligations that the property be
resold. The property has not yet been
offered for sale under said decree, be-
cause suit is now pending against the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad to remove
cloud on the title of the property, oc-
casioned by claim to portion OF the
same set up By said company.

Bag BLooMERY SASH FACTORY Burn
Ep.-We learn from the Charlestown
papers that the Bloomery Sash Factory,
on the Shenandoah river, about three
miles from Charlestown, operated by
Mr. William Phillips, was discovered
to be on FIRE about 3 o'clock on Tues
day morning of last week, and in a
short time was burned to the ground.
When discovered the fire had gained
too much headway for anything in the
buildings to be saved, and it was only
by the most persevering efforts that q
large quantity of lumber outside was
saved from the devouring element. The
origin of the fire is unknown. The
Factory, at the time of the burning,
contained large quantity Of the most
valuable machinery, large number OF
tools, and a good deal of finished work.
The total loss, it is estimated, will be
from $4,000 to $4,000, on which the
estate of the late VIM. G. Sheerer has
policies of insurance for $4,000, and Mr..
Phillips one for $3.50. The loss falls
most heavily upon Mr. Phillips, who is
one OF our most energetic and deserving
citizens. He also losing his books.

~ We call attention to an article
in this issue Of the Register from some
of our citizens on the tipping boat
which has been brought over to our
shore under Maryland license.
This article speaks the sentiments
and indignant determinations OF our
entire population. We cannot doubt
that the authorities of Washington
County will promptly withdraw the Ii
cense which must have been obtained
under false pretenees and which is used
to violate our laws.
We hope the parties concerned will
take warning in time, and if they will
take our advice they will Withdraw the
boat forthwith, without waiting for law;
for no such business can long be carried
on with safety in face of such q public
opinion as exists here.
Harper's Ferry is making like com
plant, and we again express our convic-
ton that Maryland will not grant Ii
censes which are virtually for setting
up tipping shops in West Virginia, and
for nothing else; and that she will
promptly Withdraw such as have been
obtained for that purpose and punish
the Offenders.

. Match Game, the Nodocs accepted
the challenge, and appointed last Mon
day, Whit-Mopday,) as the day, and
the Rustic Grounds as tho place, to play
the game. The weather looked very
unfavorable on account of the heavy
rain about o'clock, but it cleared of
and was very pleasant afternoon. The
game commenced about 2 o'clock, with
the Rustics at the bat. The playing of
the Rustics was very good, with few
exceptions, and that of the Modocs

the ladies are generally going back to
