Very Convenient.

The Cumberland Valley Railroad
will next summer run commodious
passenger cars to the centennial
grounds in which the seats will be
numbered, covered and locked, and
a key given each passenger who pur-
chases a ticket, to which is attached
a check corresponding to the seat he
occupies. When the excursion
reaches Philadelphia, he can lock up
within the enclosure which contains
his seat, any food or clothing neces-
sary to his comfort, and if he does
not choose to put up at hotel, can
have his own private apartments in
the car which takes him to the Gen.
tennial Buildings.

Manufacturing Company.

We are pleased to learn that the
efforts to organize a Manufacturing
Company in this place is meeting
with good success. Every man in
the town and county is, or should be
interested in the success of the enter
prise. Martinsburg stands sadly in
need of such an establishment. 1t
win add to the prosperity of both town
and county, and should be pushed
forward with energy. We learn that
about $4,000 worth Of stock has al
ready been taken, and the prospects
are good for its complete success
The great need of Martinsburg is
manufacturing, and whatsoever aids
in the work of establishing manufac-
tories here is doing great work for
the town and country.

The Game Law.

The law for protection of game
and birds, which has been passed
by the Legislature makes it uillaw-
full for any person to catch, kill or
injure any sparrow, robin, blue bird,
thrush, martin, hooking bird, swal-
low, oriole, redbird, grosbeck, cat
bird, chewit, pewee, ground robin,
phoebe bird, wren, yellow-hammer,
flicker, and dozen other insectiver-
Gus birds; and, between February 1,
and October Is, any quail or par
fridge, and between February / and
September l, any grouse, pheasant,
prairie chicken, blue winged teal,
wild goose, or wild ducks. The bill
forblds the trapping, netting and
sharing of cartridges; and protects
the eggs of all these birds.

February.

This mean little month, which is
chiefly noted for its chilly, disagreed
BILE, damp, hybrib sort Of weather,
was gotten up by Numa Pompilius,
the same old heather who trumpet
up January. Not satisfied with ten
months, he chopped the year up into
a dozen calendar chunks, and this is
one Of them-and the worst of the
lot. He called it February from
februare, to expiate, and in this he
displayed a good deal of pardonable
spleen, for we know of no month that
is so we'll calculated to disgust man.
kind, and give them the blues, and
set them to expiating, as this
For the more miserable a man feels
the more inclined is he to dwell upon
his misery, and to try and expiate
his faults. Then old Numa chopped
the month short in order to mark it
and prevent it's becoming proud. He
gave it only twenty-nine days. Then
Augustus, to make it still more con-
temptible, took off another day and
gave it to his favorite month, his
namesake August. This was unkind
of Gus. Cesar, but we have so little
regard for the month that we really
never felt hard toward its derider.-
The adage ''from him that hath not
shall be taken away hadn't been in
vented then, but it's all the better
proof of its truth, on this account
February is noted for its rain and
snow and general disagreeable char
acteristics. Its air is harsh and PEN
etrating. Its gloom is notorious
We never expect much from Febru-
airy, and we are seldom disappointed,
In fact, so seldom is it fair, that bad
omens are attached to pleasant wea-
Their in February. Says Scotch
couplet:

For the Ladies'.

The attention of the ladies is di-
rected to the card of Mrs. G. J. Faux
ner, President of the Women's Gen.
tennial Association of West Virgin
Ia, which appears in this issue. We
are glad to note the interest which
Mrs. F. is manifesting in behalf of
our State in the Centennial. Espe-
eially is this gratifying since our
representatives in Congress have
seen proper to vote against the pro-
posed government loan to the enter
prise. We trust the women of the
State will heartily and efficiently Sc
cond Mrs. F's laudable efforts.

The u. II. Conference.

The United Brethren in Christ
convened in annual Conference in
Churchville, Va, on the End inst.
A correspondent OF the Hagerstown
News sends that paper the following
in relation to the opening proceed
ings:
Bishop d. Edwards, of Baltimore,
presiding, assisted by Bishop J. j..
GloSbrenner.
Bishop Edwards read an appropri-
ate Scripture lesson and delivered a
well-timed lecture to the Conference
upon its origin and intention, as well
as the manner business should be
done in a body of that kind. The ad-
dress was listened to by the members
with marked attention and a high
degree of appreciation.
There is a moderately good attend
ance Of members present, and all
are in fine spirits. These confer
ence gatherings are reunions among
ministers, which afford them the
greatest pleasure, which is enjoyed
by them with keen relish.
The examination of the moral and
official character of the members,
hearing and receiving reports, are
progressing with the greatest degree
Of rapidity and good humor. The
moral results of these reports are as
usual, but financially they are not SO
good, there is a considerable falling
off. This is the result of the general
depression in the business and finan-
ces of the country, and not the neg
ligence of the ministers or the stingy-
ness of the people.

GERARDsTowN ITEMS

We take the following items from
the Gerardstown Times:
We are glad to learn that VIM. w.
BreneiSon, who has been sick with
typhoid fever, is now recovering.
A. M. Graham has resumed the
manufacture of cigars in the village,
and is turning them off at lively
rate.
The members of Wheatfield Grange
have been getting the logs ready for
the erection of their new hall in this
place.
We regret to learn that DR.. e. w.
Goldsborough is confined to his house
with a severe attack of erysipelas in
the face, but hope he may soon re-
cover.
Valley Grange is building a hand
some hall near Darkesville, and we
hope Gerardstown may soon be IA
vored in the same way.
Parran M. Hollis arrived home last
Saturday evening from Cabell coun-
ty, where he has been living for the
past year. He is in good health and
spirits, prepared to enjoy to the Ut
most, glad meetings with old friends
and neighbors.
Rev. A. j. Gill, senior preacher on
this circuit, delivered free lecture
in the M. E. church of this place, on
Tuesday evening, 18th ult. His SUBJ
ject was "Methodism," and convey
ed much information concerning its
founders-the Wesleys and their con-
temporaries.
Our across the street neighbor,
Mack McKown, is not generally a
fashionable young gentleman, but
followed the prevailing style and
MEAsLED last Tuesday. Hope he
will soon be out as we'll as the mea-
sizes now are on him.
Measles are still raging in the town
and neighborhoOd. Six children of
Mr.. Nathan Coils were down with
this disease at one time last week,
one of whom, little girl about three
years old, died on Sunday last.
J. B. Mason has disposed of his
mail contract between this place and
Martinsburg to w. I. Hollis, ESQ.,,
and the latter gentleman commenced
the service on Tuesday morning of

OUR NEIGHBORs.

Mrs. Louisa Chapline, wife Of
Isaac w. Chapline, of Shepherds
town, died last week.
The storm knocked things gener-
ally about Shepherdstown. The Re-
formed church was somewhat dam
aged.
Mr.. Rau, of Harper's Ferry, has
purchased the farm of Mr.. Howell
Brown, adjoining Mr.. Rau's, con-
tanning $50 acres, near Harper's Fer
ry, for 81 500.
Two hundred shares of stock of
the First National Bank of Hagers-
town were sold at public auction
in that place on Tuesday lat an aver
age of $3.50 per share. The par
value is $1,000, so that over fifty per
cent. premium was realized.
The Cumberland AIleghanion says
a petition to the Maryland legisla-
ture is being largely signed in that
city asking TOR an appropriation to
place fish ladders on the dams of the
Potomac. The idea is a good one,
and West Virginiaians ought to take
some interest in this matter which
must benefit them equally with
Marylanders.
A special election for Council
man from the LIST Ward in Cumber-
land, on Thursday, resulted in the
election Of Andrew Spier republican,
over M. A. Healy, democrat, by two
majority. The result is a republican
gain, and makes the Council a tie,
six of each party, with democratic
Mayor.
The Shepherdstown Register says
Rev. John Quigley, youngest son Of
DR.. John Quigley of Shepherdstown,
has accepted call from Presbyter-
ian Church, in Charleston, South
Carolina, and has entered upon his
pastoral duties. Mr.. Q. is a gradu-
ate of Hampdem Sidney College and
is a young man of much promise.
The Winchester Neacs Mr.. Jacob
Cooper, an old and respected citizen,
residing with his son, near Russell's
mill, in that county, committed sui
eide last Friday, by cutting himself
several times with razor. When
asked his reasons for the act, he an
swered, trouble. He died on Friday
and was buried last Saturday. He
was, man of some property, wild
over, and leaves two children. He
was aged perhaps so years OF more.

The Difference.

When lady slips on the sidewalk
she gracefully sits down and that's
the end of it. A man, however, al
ways tries to catch himself on the
other foot, drops his bundles, uses
his arms for balancing pole, strug-
giles desperately for about ten seconds
in a vain endeavor to recover his
equilibrium, and finally goes sprawl
ing like a collapsed windmill then
he swears, or feels like it. The diff
ference was frequently observed Sun
day.

Religious Awakening.

The earnest work Of the clergy OF
Hagerstown has resulted in quite a
religious awakening in that place,
which is daily growing. More than
one hundred requests have been sent
in for prayer, and there are at this
time, says the Nc,cs, some sixty en-
quirers, with twelve happy CONVEX
sions. On Saturday night the church
at which the services were held was
crowded with 700 persons, and at
leass hundred could not gain ad-
mittance.

Nice Job,

Linfeld, a white prisoner in the
county Jail, exercised his mechanical
genius during the past few days in
taking the hobbies off a fellow priso-
ner, a colored man. Mr.. Blondell en-
tered their room Monday morning,
and found the colored man without
his hobbies. On enquiry and exami-
nation he found that Linfield had
sawed them off with an old Barlow
knife. 1t was a pretty good job, con-
sidering the tools he had to work
with.
