WooD WANrED.-The Editor of this pa
per has removed to the residence adjoining
that of NathI Myers, Esq, where he would
be glad to have several cords of Wood deIiv.
cred in short time, by those who propose to

Roll OF HoNoa.-From some interesting
old papers in the possession of our county
mau and patron, Il. B. Davenport, Esq, we
have been permitted to copy the following
transcript of a memorandum of his grand>
father, the late Henry Bedinger, which will
no doubt prove interesting to the many de-
sceudants of the patriotic heroes whose names
are here recorded. The company under Cap
tain Shepherd was at first commanded by
Hugh Stephenson. and promptly responding
TO the call for aid from the North, marched
from Morgau's Spring, near Shepherdstown,
in this county, to the siege of Boston, June
9th, IT'S, and remained there in active SER
vice until the evacuation of that city. Being
ordered thence to New York, the regiment
was there organized, and the officers named
entire regiment was captured by tho British
at the battle of Fort Washington or Kings
Bridge, near New York, November 10th,
1776, and most of the officers retained as
prisoners on Long Island until November LIST,
1880, when they were exchanged, and re-
manned in service until the close of the war,
November Sd, 1888 a majority of the off
GERS, as will be seen, were from Virginia, and
the remainder from Maryland. We regret
that we have not the entire roll of the regi>
ment (privates and alD to lay before our
readers, but not having it, we give it below
as contained iu the memorandum above men>-
toned. If, however, any of our readers
should be SO fortunate as to possess a copy of
the complete roll, we shall be glad to give
place to it hereafter:

TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT IN JEFFERSON.
The temperance movement inaugurated in
the Northern end of this county, by the peo-
pie of Shepherdstown, few weeks ago, has
extended itself and is becoming of consider
able magnitude. Meetings were held in
Charlestown on the afternoon and evening of
Thursday last, at the Episcopal Church and
Court>House, which, considering the unfavor-
ableness of the weather and other untoward
causes, were we'll attended. The meeting at
the Courthouse was presided over by Capt.
w. H. Kable, President of the County Court,
and was ably aud earnestly addressed by Revs
W. 81. Meade and T. 3. Shepherd, of this
place, and Rev. Henry Lee and Rev. Dr. G.
W. Andrews, of Shepherdstown. From the
interest manifested deep current against the
evil Of intemterance seems to be setting in
in this county, and though differing altogether
from the ''praying crusades" of the Vest,
there is an earnesrness apparent in the leaders
w. 10 have taken hold of the matter here
(thsy being among our most intelligent, es-
teemed and popular citizens) that bids fair to
culminate in final action of very decided
character.
An adjourned meeting, we are requested
to announce, will be held in the NJ E. Church
South, this (Monday) evening, at 4! o'clock,
when addresses will be delivered by Rev. W.
6. Hammond, DIR. Andrews, and perhaps
others. This meeting will, in all probability,
be followed by others in other churches during
the week. Meetings have also been or will
be held in other portions of the county.
