A Small PAYMENT

at first and the balance in easy m onthly
payments, are the terms of the New Elias
Howe Sewing Machine, in every respect
the best and most perfect machine in use.
No man has any excuse for not presenting
to his wife, mother, or sister one of those
superior machines. The price is low, and
he can have his own time to pay fer it. -
When one considers the low price at which
it is sold, and the fact that it has Demon
strated its superiority over all other ma.
chimes by surprising them in elegant
work, and above all, the terms on which
it is sold, the wonder is that there is not a
Howe Sewing Machine in every home in
the State.
The Southern people should bear in
mind that the Howe is not sold at an
advance Of fifteen dollars over New York
prices as is the case with some competitors

AUCTIOMEERING!
FACTS WORTH KNOWING
TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC!

Every mau ought to have business.
That business he ought to understand.
The merchant, mechanic or the farmer
may employ an assistant or laborer,
and can readily ascertain whether he
has the right man in the right place.
Auctioneering is a business in which
there are few engaged, consequently it
is difficult for the public to tell who is
not proficient in the calling The an.
dersigned, who has been engaged in
the business for twenty years offers his
services to the citizens OF Berkeley
county and those within the corporation
of Martinsburg, and claims that he can
sell goods for those who may engage
his services, for Is to 20 per cent. better
prices than any auctioneer engaged in
the county. Reference can be given to
the best business men in the county and
if they do not corroborate this assertion,
he does not ask to be employed. Will
attend all the courts, and can be en-
ployed to sell all kinds of property of
fered at auction. Prices moderate. -

Dec. /. 1874, at the residence of
her sister, Mrs Bartlette, in Win
chester, Va, Eliza Sherman Tim
berlake, beloved wife of ID. w.
Timberlake, of Martinsburg, w.
Va. The deceased was q native OF
Clarke county. Va, and belonged
to family long and favorably
known in that and adjoining coun-
ties. While yet of tender " ars
she professed religion and joiued
the Methodist Church, of which
she continued a faithful and con-
sistent member until called by
God to her reward in the mansions
above. Her last illness was pro-
tracted and severe, but she lore
her sufferings without murmur,
being perfectly resigned TO the will
of heaven. She was faithful in all
the relations Of life. AS wife,
mother. neighbor, friend, she filled
up nobly the measure of duty as
signed her. She is held in loving
remembereuce by all who knew
her. especially by those who were
on terms Of intimacy with her.
She was trne Christian. Her
death was as serene as her life had
been beautiful. Her tolls are end
ed, her sufferings are DER, and she
has entered into the rest that ere
mains for the people of God.o She
leaves, to mourn their great loss,
a devoted husband and three small
children, besides a numerous circle
of friends and relative. May Al
mighty God sustain them in this
sad bereavement, and finally bring
them all to live with her in the
glorious land Of promlse. l.. G Nj.
Mr.. Merriam, Of New York, has
made novel proposition to au-
thorize he use of information re-
ceived in the Dead Letter Office in
the prosecution of criminals. There
is much diversity of opinion
among lawyers ABOUT the right of
the Government to make any use
whatever of this information, and
under existing law no use is made
of it. 1t often happens that dead
letters contain counterfeit money
and information which would lead
to the immediate arrest of guilty
parties. AS the laE now stands,
If a clerk in the Dead Letter Office
should. discover a plo. to assassinate
his personal friend he would have
no right to give warning of the
danger, though in such a case he
would probably take the RESPONSE :

For several years past, some un

sending checks for 1000, pounds at in

discover who it was, failed.
The English people came to the con-
clusion that this generous bat modest
benefactor. could be no other than the
Queen. And that excellent woman
who has so many claims on the respect
of her subjects, rose still higher in
their esteem. The pleasing Illusion,
for it was only an illusion, has been
suddenly dispelled, and once more the
fact seems stranger than the fiction.

old, and bachelor; rich, but living
very quietly. His books show that he

There are a number Of bills before

its improvement-at least there are
none aiming at its repeal We have
only to suggest that it would be better
to repeal it and remand us back to

present half FISH and half fowl system
half State and half county-subject
as it is to the caprices OfcOunty courts
and popular elections. Let US 90 the

WHAT Has THE GRANGE DoNE?-
From a speech published in one ofour
exchanges we make the following ex-
tract: 1t has caused business to be
conducted on more economical basis,
and consequently has cheapened all
goods boughtfor cash. 1t has brought
producer and consumer nearer togeth-
er. 1t has inaugurated in public sem
timent a revolution in favor of a cash
system. 1t will take years to complete
il. but that revolution has commenced
and millions have alreay been saved to
the people. 1t has inspired the whole
agricultural world with u sp rit OF
economy. 1t has alredy begun to ele-
yate farming as profession and has
drawn farmers nearer each other. So
eialIy and for business purposes. Ii
has given impetus to intelligent farm
ing e.eywherc. 1t has sOwn seeds
that will ripen into a rich harvest of
prosperity for the farmers, and con-
sequently for all classes. 1t has inau-
gurared a reformation that will not
cease until virtue aud honesty once
more bear sway where ignorance and
corruption hold high carnival. 1t has
put three millions of farmers to think
ing, Are not these achievements
enough for so short time?

after hour was spent in music and
dancing. Dick danced for sometime,
then strolled out of the room into
back parlor and took seat in one Of
the windows-he wished to be alone.
He had been there but short time
when he heard some one enter the
room. He recognized the voice Of
Nelson as he was addressing some one
in much earnestness. His first i'm
pulse was to push back the curtain
and leave the room, but Nelson's
words so much surprised him that he
could not move.
Virgin, l have impatiently waited
for an opportunity to repeat the pro-
testations of love | made to you four
years ago. During all this time Ihave
not ceased to hold you enshrined in
my heart, :and bitterly lamented the
misunderstanding that arose between
us then. Now to be with you again,
to be able to tell you. my love, to ask
you to forget and forgive the past, is a
pleasure of which l have often dream
ed, but scarcely hoped to realize.
Speak to me Virgin and tell me you
love me"
Dick held his breath and listened
for the answer; he wished for it, yet
feared to hear it. At length she
.poke.
= Are you sure it is not Irritation,
Mr.. Nelson?"
What do you mean. Virgin? L tiIrt
with you, with my own life, no, no,
am only too serious"
"Mr. Nelson, have avoided this as
long as could. / have tried to shun
everything that looked like giving you
encouragement, but you would not
have it so. Now listen. -Four years
