was loafing about Leetown one day last
week when the boys determined TO have
some sport at his expense. Accordingly
they fixed UP story, TO the effect that he
had offended a Miss l., in conversation,
recently, and that her father and brother
were going to shoot him for the insult,
and also stating that the said brother was
then in Leetown looking for the Doctor,
who Immediately concealed himself IN u

out. by promising Ito stand by him, Dus

across lots, gun was discharged on the
pike. and Billy fell, finding that he WASH t

again. but just then Eph Custer hollow

him again, when he arose this time. he
was allowed TO continue his flight, though

ED~ TIE UoprER.-We learn from
the Martinsburg Statesman tha: Mr.
Isaac V. Burns, residing OH the Ore
quon, in that county, suffered severely
from the grasshoppers, eating up his
grass and other growing crops, and
swarmed in myriads in his garden, dcs-
troying the last vestage in it. They also
injured the growing crops Of Mr.. John
p. Kerfoot, but he was somewhat COM
pensated by their making clean sweep
of every stock of garlic and cookie upon
his farm.

s1- A Young lad, aged about Is
years, of sandy hair, and somewhat hard
of hearing, arrived here, on Monday
evening, from Maryland, with dun
horse. and buggy, and stopped at the
Virginia Hotel, kept by Mr.. ). A.
Adams. He stated, upon being ques-
toned, that he was from Chambersburg,
Pa, and intended going to Harrisburg,
Pa, and started from Chambersburg
for that purpose, but not knowing the
direction, lie had gotten off the track,
by being nisintormed, His statements
were somewhat conflicting, which led
to his detention hereby Constable Cam
eron. Mr.. Cameron, on Tuesday, tele-
graphed to Chambersburg for any IN
formation which would throw light
upon the subject, but received no an
swer. The young man left on Tuesday
afternoon, on foot, for keedysviile, to
take the train for Chambersburg, as he
stated, leaving the horse and buggy in
charge of the proprietor Of the Hotel.
The young man alleged that he pro
cured the horse and buggy from livery
stable in Chambersburg with the inten-
ton Of going to Harrisburg, Pa, for
the purpose of returning with sister
of his. We hope that when the facts
are revealed that nothing wrong was
intended by the young man, but to say
the least the matter is somewhat i'll the
dark as yet.

From the National Temperance Advocate,
London Temperance Hospital.

The second annual report of the Lon
don TEMPERANCE Hospital, established
under influential patronage, To demon
strate the feasibility of treating the sick
without the administration OF alcohol in
any form aS Il medicine, l. Of highly
encouraging character. In later issue
we shall present extracts for which We
have not space ut command ut this time.
We make room, however, for the follow
ing from DR.. EdmundS, one of the ply
scianS of the hospital, whose visit To this
country year ago gave much pleasure
and encouragement to the friends of tcm-
pcrance on this side of the Atlantic:
During the last year | find that GS3
eases have been under my charge. They
have comprised numerous examples of
every form of ordinary disease, and some
examples of cases rarely met with. Cases
of dyspepsia. OF general debility and eN-
haustion arising from ovcrwork, from de-
votion to occupations for which the patti
entS were never physically suited, from
want of food from defective teeth, COM
bincd with unsuitable diet, have formed n
large proportion of the eases. Among the
cases of more marked disease have been
many examples Of disease of the lungs
and heart, eases of cancer and other tu-
NOR. eases of nervous disease, eases OF
bacmorrhage, etc. The range Of obScrva-
ton among the patients has, therefore,
been very considerable.
Il have not i'm any case thought it nee
cSSarv to prescribe the use of alcoholic
beverage or medicine, and ! have only
to add that my preyiously-formcd conciu-
sionS n to the safety and advantage OF
non-alcoholic treatment have been abund-
antly corroboratcd. In one or two serious
and critical conjuncturcs brandy has
been asked for or suggested; but in each
such case an assurance that the patient
would, in my Judgment, be better with
out il has been accepted thankfully, and,
as it has fortunately happened, in each
such conunture with the happicst results
as regards recovery. The accumulation
of such critical instances viii, of course,
strengthen the hands Of medical men
upon this question, and will fortify the
public mind against false impressions *
to deaths which must occur under any
treatment, but which it is now often
groundlesSly imagined by the friends
might have been prevented by the admin
stration of alcohol.
The results of the nOn-alcoholic treat
mcnt have been, in my judgment, entire
" satisfactory, and the treatment has,
moreover, done much good by directing
attention to the errors in diet, work, rcgi-
men, etc, which were the real cause of
disease, and by dispclling miSchievous IL
lusions rs to the supposed advantage of
resorting TO alcoholic beverages.

- One of tho most honest satires of
the day was uttered by Fred. Douglass at
Hillsdalc, near Washington city, Monday,
in an address on the condition of the col
orcd race. He said plainly and keenly:
Eve have been injured more than we
have been helped by men who have pro-
fcSscd to be our friends, They are law
yers without clients, ministers without
churches, wandering teachers without
schools" Such men had gone begging
for the " poor black people pretty much
Oh their own hook, and for every one
hundred dollars they collected the poor
black people " got about hundred cents.
These men, he said, must be stopped beg
ging for the colorcd people, as they mis-
represent them and caused the country to
look upon them as poor and helpless
people. In like vein lie referred to the
great fraud of the Frecdmcu's Bank, and
eXcorated the "whitc friends" having
the rul. of that il!-starred institution with
IN unsparing hand. lie concluded by
appealing to the colOred people to be
independent Of the wandering mendi-
cants who have followed them simply
for gain, adding, land in future, if we
want Il Moses, we will find him in our
own tribes
