ming, July the 3rd, 1876, Of consump-
ton, Mrs. MARY ELLEN JOHN
STON, beloved wife of George w.
Johnston, aged A years, 3 months aud

Farewell mother, thy sickness is Ger,
And in this vain world We will see thee
no mere,
But trust those bright Angels with
whom you now reign
Will watt us above TO meet thee again.
In pain dearest mother, thou hast sat
by my side,
Thou who vert ever ny solace and
pride;
But now thou art free from pain and
from care,
In that beautiful land in your home over
The light of our cottage they have Ia
ken away,
And in that Bright world it forever
will stay,
We will hasten to see it, we will not DO
long
To Join thee above in that triumphant
throng.
Thy form is now laid low in the cold
clay,
1t cannot return but will moulder away,
For a few years death must Us divide
Bot in that "sweet by and by" we will
sleep by your side.

We quoted the other day, what the
New York Observer, an influential or
gan of Presbyterianism, said OF MIR. Til
den. We now add the testimony of the
hethodisf,s powerful organ ofthe Meth
odists in this country.
"Gov. Tilden was elected to his pres
ent office by $4,000 majority over Gov.
John A. Dix, decisive test OF personal
popularity. After Mr. Bristow, he is
the only man in d high place who has
risked anything in a fight against cor
ruptionists. The Tweed and canal rings
Of this state have attracted about as
much attention as the whiskey ring
Mr. Bristow has resigned, and President
Grant is pardoning the men whose con-
viction Bristow secured. Governor Til
den, more fortunate than Bristow, has
his foot on both the New York rings,
and was able to triumph over them at
St. Louis

ENCoURAGMG.-The Richmond Uhig
says: 1t is an ill-wind that blows no.
body good, and we are likely in Amer
ca to reap a rich harvest from the war
between Turkey and the Provinces and
Principalities, even should the confla-
grafton spread no (which is scarce
ly possible to prevent. Russia is the
great granary Of the world and her
wheat seeks its market from the Black
Sea through the Dardanelles into the
Mediterranean, but this sea and the
Danube closed up, it will have no out
let save through the Baltic by way OF
ST. Petersburg, aud that will prove too
costly. SO this is Americas opportuni-
ty, and her grain will soon be in de.
mand for Western Europe. And should
the war spread and involve other Ia
tons, farming may be profitable work
in this country for years to come, and
even our manufactures may profit by
the misfortune of Europe"

as follows MIR. Burnett was working
along the track, whilst the coal trains
were passing on the opposite side, be-
ing near a curve he did not notice an
other train approaching on the track on

him some ten feet from the track, lac

p~ The speech delivered by Col. II.
Kyd Douglas, of Hagerstown, at the
rati fcation meeting at Charlestown, on
Monday last, was one of the ablest eff
forts we have ever had the pleasure Of
listeningto. lie was applauded through
out his entire speech, of about an hour
in length, fully convincing the large as
sembly present that he is one Of the
most forcible and eloquent speakers of
the age. The Charlestown Sp,rit says:
The Chair then introduced to the
meeting 20 one of the worthy speakers
a gentleman too we'll known in this com
mnnity to require anything more than
a formal introduction to our people.
We refer to Maj H. Kyd Douglas, of
Hagerstown, Md, who proceeded to
deliver stirring and eloquent speech,
in which the record Of the Republican
party,especially for the past eight years,
was arraigned with great power and ef-
feet. As we have delayed our paper to
make this note of yesterdays proceed
ings, we must be excused from going
more into detail in regard to Major
Douglas speech. Suffice it to say. that
while he was speaking We could not
help thinking how true would be the
prediction of one of our contemporaries
that "lightping in Congressional form
would soon strike Major Douglas" lie
is the kind of man whom Congressional
lightning should never allow to escape.

p9- COUNTY NEws.-We clip the
following from the Charlestown Spirit
of Tuesday last
Miss Molie Alvey, aged about twenty
years, was seriously burned whilst at
tempting to kindle fire with coal oil
at and residence of Mr.. Dan. Hood, on
Herrs Island, Harper's Ferry, on Mon
day of last week.
Chas. E. Moulding, passenger on
the way train from Winchester to
Wades, on Monday OF last week, while
very much under the influence of liquor,
fell from the train near the Opequon
and was killed.
Public opinion among the Democratic
masses of Jefferson seems to have set
tied upon primary election as the best
and most satisfactory mode of selecting
nominees for county officers, and the
County Executive Committee will pro-
badly recommend this mode.
Rev. J. W. Dungee, a prominent
colored Baptist minister of Richmond,
and well know in this place, has an
nouuced himself heart and soul for
Tilden and Hendricks, the Democratic
nominees.
DEATH OF Mr.. G. w. SApLER-The
community at large was shocked on
Thursday evening last by the announce
ment, although not altogether unexpect-
ed, of the death of Mr.. George w. Sad
Ter, who had been i'll for several weeks.
He was well known as one of the most
enterprising and public spirited of onr
citizens, generous almost to fault, and
admired and esteemed for his many adj
mirable traits of character by both old
and young. His death creates vacuum
in the community not easily to be filed,
and the sorrow of our whole people at
his death is sincere and profound.

RELIGIOUS.
The health of the Pastor (Rev ID. r.
Thomas), of this place, is so impaired that
much of his discourses is scarcely audible
A protracted meeting has been in progress
since the first of the year, and much of the
time, we are informed, he has not been able
to preside over it. On Sabbath last, how
ever, he gave short discourse from the
following text, "When the day of pente-
cost was fully come, they were all, with
one accord in one place. after which he
gave an invitation to all those who wished
to unite with them, either by certificate or
otherwise, to come forward, which was re-
sponded to by nine adults-six ladies and
three gentlemen, all of whom received
the right hand of fellowship.
LOOKUP.
Report says the Commissioners of this
town propose erecting lock- up for the dis
orderly. Our informant has it that the site
selected for it's location is that swamp near
Mr.. S. NJ. Atkinson's blacksmith shop.
Our advice would be, abolish all the rum
mills and the lookup will not be required,
which doubtless would suit the pockets of
the payers much better than rum and
lookup.
SALE OF FARM.
Mr.. Atkinson, we understand, has pur-
chased from Mr.. VIM. Scarborough, the
farm formerly (and for many years. belong
ing to Mr.. Stephen Mahoney. Price, ST.
roo Mr. Atkinson is a live and energetic
citizen, and may success ever mark his

SCALDED.
A little daughter of Mr. Bobert Fergu-

itself severely. 1t is thought with care it
will not prove fatal.

Mr. EDIToR:-Amidst the general stag
nation in business, which afficts our town,
as well as large communities, it is a matter
of congratulation to be able to report that
the Granite quarries at this place have been
doing large, and | hope, profitable bust
ness ever since the advent of the Winter
months. They are working full force of
hands, giving employment to at least 200
men, who otherwise would be out of work;
the most of whom have to rely upon their
daily toll for sustenance for themselves
and families Messrs. McClenahan & Bro,
Mr.. John w. Malone and Messrs. Coulson
& Tosh are daily shipping by rail large
quantities Of our superior granite to Bal
timore, Philadelphia, and other points. 1t
is an every day occurrence to see Is to 20
cars of stone passing through our town.
My attention was called few days since
to Il magnificent specimen of Port Deposit
granite, quarried out and dressed by Messrs.
McClenahan ~ Bro, for the Edgemoor
Iron Co, near Wilmington, Del. 1t was IA
single block of stone, weighing 10 tons-a
full load for one car. They have also
quarricd out lately several pieces of beauti
full granite, measuring Is and IS feet in
length and to Z feet wide; and under
stand have it in contemplation to ship
specimen of these to the Centennial, where
they have already sent a large quantity of
dressed stone to be used in the construction
of the buildings now in course of erection.
1t is also worthy of note that the enter
prising firm of Armstrong & Co. are work
ing full force at their extensive foundry
and stove works. They are live men, and
are doing a large and lucrative business,
and deserve the liberal patronage extended
them. A further and more extended notice
Of their establishment will be fun nished at
an early day. T.
