OBITUA

Mrs. NARY RUCKLE died near
Kerneysville, w. Va, Oct. 9th, 1874,
aged ~ years, months and days.
Mrs. Ruckle made public profession
of religion when about fifteen years
old, and united with the NJ. +. Church
in Charlestown. From that time until
her death she was the same devoted
disciple of the Lord Jesus. Amid the
changes and sore trials of life she never
doubted her Heavenly Father. Attic
tons only ripened her more and more
for heaven.
She was not one who made outward
demonstration Of religion save only by
a quiet, even and devoted life to Jesus
and his Cause.
Her religion was not as the mountain
rill swollen by the early and latter rains,
rushing and foaming. bearing down
everything before it; but her peace was
"as river and her righteousness as
the waves of the sea-
She not only loved God supremacy,
hut also had a universal good will to-
ward men, She never turned any from
her door hungry.
She had shelter for the homeless,
and great sympathy with the suffering
and sorrowing; was a nurse to the sick,
and a mother indeed to the orphan.
She reared orphan children whom she
has now left, bereaved as OF their own
mother.
1t can be said literally and truthfully
of her, "Inasmuch as We have done 1t
unto ole of the last of these my breth-
rem, We have done it unto me.
So will she be rewarded by "the
Lord the righteous Judge.
Many friends had passed into the
glory world before her; sister but a
few days after; and her aged husband
and other dear friends gladly anticipate
the meeting on the other shore.
With her, "To die was gain, for to
live was Christ" A. a. 7. \.

~ COUNTY NEws.-We clip the
following items from the last Charles
town papers -
SHEEP ATTACKED BY DoGs.-The
flock of sheep of Mr.. w. o. Norris, OF
this county, was attacked by dogs on
Thursday last, and one sheep killed and
two wounded. AS eminently worthy
of mention in this connection we with
pleasure chonicle the fact that one OF
the dogs engaged in this attack be-
longed to colored man in the employ
of MIR. Robt. H. Lewis, and that he
(the colored many being witness TO
the affair, secured his dog as soon as
possible and shot him, after which he
promptly informed Mr.. Norris of what
had transpired, for which he received
that gentleman's thanks.-Spirif.
The revival at the NJ. E. Church,
South. has 80 far resulted in the con-
version of more than eighty souls, and
both pastor and members are still zeal
ous in the good work. The meetings
still continue.-S2irh.
SERIOUS AccIDENr.-Orra Miller,
aged about Is years, little grandson
of DR.. o. II. Owings, of the ''Owlngs
House" in this place, was thrown from
a horse at the Western suburbs OF the
town on Saturday afternoon last, the
fall producing conclusion of the brain,
and has since been in critical condl-
tion.-.Spirn. r

"BLAcK LEG" " CATrLE.-A consid-
cradle number of calves and yearllngs
have died, in this county, the present
fall, from disease known by stockmen
as "black leg" When attacked unless
proper remedies are at once applied,
death is quick and certain. We have ex-
amined all the books in our possession
upon the subject and find no certain
cure for this disease. From the best in
formation before us, We are of the opin-
ion that cattle, in order to be healthful,
should receive uniform treatment.
When pastured on rich and luxuriant
grass, they shoul not be too suddenly
changed to lean and poor pastures; and,
on the other hand, when pastured on
poor and impoverished fields, they
should not be provided, suddenly, with
pastures rich and green. This is also
the opinion of many experienced stock
raisers with whom we have conversed
upon the subject. The truth of the mat
ter is, there are too few of our farmer
friends who understand the wants and
the habits of their stock and the RENE
dies to be applied when disease and
malades set in. 1t is just as essential
for farmer to understand these things
as it is for a lawyer or doctor to know
the science of his profession.-Green-
brier Independent.

ANOTHER SHOCKING ACCIDENT.-On
Monday morning last young dangh-
ter OF Mr.. William Byers, residing
near this place on the farm of Theo.
Embrey, Esq, had her left leg fright
fully larcerated by falling upon NOW
ing scythe. The cut extended from the
front of the ankle joint around the calf
OF the leg, penetrating to the bone, and
severing the ligament of the ankle joint
and main arteries of the front and back
part of the leg. The hemorrhage was
most profuse, and would certainly have
caused the death of the child before the
arrival of medical aid had not its moth
err, with wonderful GOODNESS and pres
ence of mind, tied stout cord tightly
around the uppe- part of the leg, thus
preventing any further loss of blood.
DR.. n. B. Scott and son were sum-
moned from Hagerstown, under whose
skilliul treatmen; the severed vessels
were quickly secured, and the little sui.
ferer made comfortable and afforded
the pleasant prospect OF 4 speedy re-
coyery.-Hihiam,port Pilot

The Charlottesville J.6ersonian con-
tains the following account of the al
legged killing of three negroes in Lou
lisa county, derived from a respectable
citizen of Fluvanna:
A gentleman in Louisa county, one
night last week, hearing noise about
his courthouse, went out with double
barrelled shot gun, and seeing what he
supposed to be o man, fired, killing
him instantly. Upon closer examina-
ton he discovered that the man he
shot at was sitting upon lever which
had been inserted in a crack, and the
house bodily lifted up while two others
were in the cracks getting out the corn.
A still closer examination revealed the
horrifying fact that as the first man fell
from the lever the house had closed
down upon the unfortunate wretches,
MASKING the life out OF them! Thus the
three men all lost their lives in an ms
tant in trap which they themselves
set. They were all negroes.

THE REGISTER
TERMS PER YEAR-S2,5O IN ADVANCE
ShepherastOwn, West Va:
TuN FIRST TnOUsAND DOLLARS.

THE FIRST THOUSAND DOLLARS.
The first thousand dollars that
young man after going out into the
world for himself earns and saves will
generally settle the question of business
life with him. There may be excep-
tons to this statement, yet tor q rule,
we think it will hold true.
The first condition is that the young
man naturally earns the thousand dol
lars in question. He does not inherit
this sum. 1t does not come to him by
"a streak of good luck, as the result OF a
fortunate venture in the purchase and
sale of hundred shares OF stock. 1t Is
the fruit of personal industry. lie gives
his time and labor for it, While he Is
thus earning and saving it, he must
earn two or three or perhaps four, times
as much to pay his current expenses.
lie is consequently held sternIy TO the
task OF industry for considerable pc
Rod. The direct consequence to HIM Is
steady, continuous and discipline in the
habits of iudustry-in patient, persist
ent. forecasting and selfdenying effort,
breaking up all the tendencies 10 indo-
lence and friyolity, aud making him an
earnest and watchtul economist of tine
He not only learns how TO work, but
he also acquires the love OF work; and
moreover, he learns the value OF the
sum which he thus saved out of his
earnings. He has toiled for 1t; he has
observed its slow increase from time
to time; and in his estimate it represents
SO many years of practical labor. His
ideas of life are shaped by his own ex-
perience. These natural effects of earn
ing the first thousand dollars we hold
to be very large benefits. They are Just
the qualities OF mind and body which
arc likely to secure business success in
after years. They constitute the best
practical education which man can have
as worker in the working world.
They are gained in season for lifes pur-
poses, at the opening period, just when
they are wanted, when foolish notions
are most likely to mislead an inexpe-
rienced brain, and when, too, there is 4
full opportunity for expansion and de
velopement in latter years. Men have
but one life to live; and hence they
start from opening manhood but once.
And the manner in which upon consul
tation they start, the purpose which
thew have in view, and the habits they
form will ordinarily determine the en-
tire sequel of their career on earth. 10
succeed, men must have the clements
of success within themselves. One great
reason why there are so many useless,
inefficient aud poverty stricken men on
earth-or, rather, boys seeming to be
men-consists in the simple fact that
they did not start right. a prominent
reason why the children of the rich so
frequently amount to nothing may be
found in luxury, ease and Incidence
which mark the commencement of their
lives. 1t is the law of God that we
should be workers Oil earth; and no one
so well consults the best development
OF this being as when he confirms his
practice to this law. The workers in
some suitable sphere are the only real
Iy strong men in this world.
