The May number of the GOLDEN Hours
is as bright and attractive as the Nav
flowers, and will retain its charms long
after Il ose OF the latter have faded and
persisted. We wish we could see this lit
tic bouquet of choice literature in every
child's hands, and witness the joy i,
would bring to each The articles in this
number begin with Bible story, "FouI
Little Jewish Captives." and end with
How to Tame Cage birds" We have
not the srace to note the Fable of Con-
tents and the many beautiful illustrations;
but there is variety and point in each ar
ticle and picture, and the editors aim to
make the magazine lead toward all that is
good and pure and true is as noticeable
as usual.
The june number will include articles
on the Centennial; an amusing story of
''Tbe Wasp Hunt" with six Illustrations ;
a story Of "Aeily's Birds" illustrated an
account of "Bim and his dog Sprinkly,"
and many other entertaining and instruc-
tive sketches. Price Of marazne, ST 80

from internal liberation, and Uterine
disease, Syphilitic and Mercurial dis

General Debility, and for Purifying the
Blood.
This Sarsaparillai o combination Of
vegetable alternatives - Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
efficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully COM
bined, that the full Alternative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-
try repose in it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting it's virtnes have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and 40 many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence Of the superiority Of this Sar-
saparilla over every other Alternative
medicine. So generally is its superi.
GRITTY to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has eves
possessed are strictly maintained.

The political excitement has quiet
ed down since the nomination. Our
Democrats here I delighted with
their nominee for Sheriff, and will
give him a good vote. Personally
there is no better mar in the county.
The cool evenings have been de-
lightful after the sweltering weather
in June. 1t now begins to feel like
the approach of fall.
The apple crop is abundant, and
''apple butter boilings" will soon
afford fun for the rural youngsters.
The schools, both public and pri-
vate, will soon begin their fall and

The young ladies are already be-
ginning to think about their fall

70 he Editors ofthe Independent:

To the Editors ofthe Independent
AS you did not take a part in the
social pic-nic-held near Leetown on
| Tuesday, the 22d inst, / would like
to tell of some of the good things you
missed bv not accepting the general
invitation given to the Changers and
citizens of Berkeley county by There
of jefferson, to spend the day with
them for the purpose of becoming
better acquainted with each other
and discussing the various subj cts
in which we, as farmers, are more
directly interested.
The day was n of Augustus best;
the ground was well shaded: the
speakers stand and seats were all we
could desire ; the speakers were
numerous and of decided talent. The
first speaker introduced to the audi
ence was an able lawyer fromCharl7
town, who, though not a Grange,
thought he could entertain them on
political economy. But [ fear he
mistook his audience or the purpo
for which they met, as at the veiy
beginning of his speech he introduced
such subjects as were calculated t.
call back to our minds the late ur
pleasantness, and then launching
out into party politics, which for
the time created no little ~uneasiness
in the minds of some of our friends
lest the pleasure of the day would be
marred by his inconsideratenc1s;
when, after some little explanation
by the managers, we were satisfied
he meant well, his mind being so
filled with party politics he could
think of little else. As you may SUI
| pose, we were therefore the more
ready to hear MI. G., whose duty it
was to welcome the Changers and
citizens of Berkeley, and right well
did he perform it, as we were made
to feel that the line betweenthe coun-
ties was immaginary, and our inter
eSts as farmers were one, and it was
only necessary for us to unite in our
purpose and success would crown our
efforts, not only in the cultivation of
our fields but in furnishing help to
man the ship of State.
After a recess Of two hours to par
take of the many good things pr
pared for our bodily comfort, we were
called together to listen to a beauti-
full speech delivered by Mr.. H., of
NJ, followed w most ab1e and pre-
tical remarks by Mr.. s., Of JeffeT-o On.

IN THE AFFTDA VT BUSL-
NESS AGAIN.

We are really sorry to give Buzfuz
so much trouble. He has again been
compelled to resort to an affidavit to
prove his standing. lie asserted a
lie in regard 20 the action of the
Democratic State Executive Com
mittee fixing the place for holding
the State Convention. He tried the
affidavit business on that occasiont to
get himself out of the lie. II didn't
work. The lie was squarely fastened
on the old reprobate, and that, too,
by the letter of one of the gentlemen
whom he had led into giving him an
affidavit. But a man of BuZfuz's
character, or rather lack of charac-
ter, is is not abashed at anything. 1t
is an accepted fact that the cheek of
a swindling lottery dealer is, if any
thing, more callous than that of a
canal mule.
Now Bu2fuz appcaTsW'th another
certificate. We stated that at the
recent Democratic primary meeting
II this place, Buzfaz was nominated
for a delegate and did not get a vote.
Such is the fact. But BuZfuZ, after
thinking Of it for over a week, has
discovered that he withdrew his
name before the balloting COM
menced. 1t didn't occur to him
when he issued his paper on the
Tuesday following the primary
meeting. In that issue he simply
announced that no 'honest or just
man would expect him TO reply to
anything in thesneak radical sheet"
But he has changed his mind, and
presumably 'the honest and just men,
aforesaid, also. So he publishes the
following:
MARTINsBURG, W. VA,
August 21st, 1861
d. S. Eichelberger, Esq.
DEAR SIR-Having noticed in the
INDEPENDENT last week an article
which was subsequently repeated in
substance 10y the same paper, which
reflected upon your personal standing
as q democrat, in that you received
DO vote for delegate in the primary
meeting held at the court house on
the 10Th inst, in justice to you, L
take this means of saying that i'm
mediately upon being placed in nom
ination rs q delegate you peremptor-
lily declined, and l SO stated it from
the chair in the hearing of all.
Yours truly,
J. l.. w. BAKER,
Chairman of Primary Meeting.
In reading the above, one would
suppose that Mr.. Baker, feeling
deeply the injustice done Buzfuz in
the matter, had seized his pen and
written, voluntarily and unsolicited,
the above explanation. Such is not
the fact. 1t was prepared and sign
ed at the solicitation of Buzfuz. He
called on Mr.. Baker and asked him
to do it. 1t is a very small thing,
and we are nothing about it one
way or another, but if his name was
withdrawn there were certainly q
number in the room who did not hear
it. However, it made no difference
whether it was withdrawn ornot the
result wonld have been the same.
Now, we also stated that Buzfuz
was ''scalped," ''scooped up" and
completely "hattened out" on that
occasion. Another affidavit in con-
tradiction of that is now in order
We shall be pleased to have it at the
ooV1;arh o,r.NDA,.-sN Al II

had fled the National Metropolis,
to get a breath of cooler and purer

to see where the venerable Africa
American driver, "Uncle Fied,'
had landed me.
Behold it was at the site of old
John S. Lauck's store, wherein
had arisen q new modernized and
creditable building, to take the
place of the familiar undiscovered
one of fifty years ago.
Casting my eyes across the street,
after L had placed my name on the
hotel register of the stranger, Ito
me, at least, who judging by the
dinner he served, keeps the place
we'll; the first object that met my
view was a new brick front going
up. "Thepe !" 1 exclaimed to N.Y.
self, "goes another of the old land
