s0liability.

Think how much happiness you
convey to each other by kindly no.
tice and "a cheerful converse. ion.
Think how much sunshine such So
ciabiiity lets back into your soul.
Who does not feel more cheerful and
contented for receiving polite bow,
and a genial "good morning." with
a hearty shake of the hand Who
does not make himself happier by
these little expressions of fellow feel
ing and good will? Silence and stiff,
unbending reserve, are essentially
selfish and vulgar. The generous and
polite man has pleasant recognition
and cheerful words for all he meets.
He scatters sun beams wherever he
goes. He paves the paths of others
with smiles. He makes society seem
genial, and the world delightful to
those who would else find them cold,
selfish and forlorn. And what he
gives is but a 1.-THE of what he re-
ceives. Be social wherever you go,
and wrap your lightest words in
tones that are sweet and spirit that
is genial.

Alarm OF Fire

An alarm of fire about ten o'clock
Saturday night brought the fremen
out promptly, and in a very few
minutes they were ready with their
apparatus to do battle with the
flames. Fortunately, there was no
need of their services. The alarm
was caused by the discovery of a fire
in the stable back of Bakers Drug
Store, which was, however, extin-
guished almost as soon as discovered.
1t is supposed to have originated
from Il lighted cigar thrown down by
some one who had been in the stable.
The timely discovery no doubt pre-
vented serious fire.

The sun as a Narcotic.

Sleepless people, says a good med
ical authority, should pass as many
hours in the sunlight as possible. 1t
is the best and most harmless mar
cotic. Many, however, when the
days become long, prevent its access
to the house by closing the shutters
and blinds. Ladies when they prom
enade the streets, wear wells or carry
parasols to prevent its health-giving
lights from shining upon their often
times wan and pale features. In Or
der to receive the full benefit of the
suns potent influence, its rays should
not be excluded from the house or
its inmates.

SunpOSed Inianticide

The body of a new born infant was
found early Saturday morning, lying
at the water edge of the creek just
above the bridge at the lanyard.
When found it had been mutilated
by hogs. 1t was taken to building
in the lanyard and a jury of inquest
summoned, who returned a verdict
that the body of the child had been
placed where found by some party
or parties unknown to the jury. No
clue has yet been had to the heart
less mother, who, it is supposed sunk
all natural maternal affection in the
attempt to hide her shame.

Acquitted.

The case of Benjamin Long, on
trial in the Washington county court
at Hagerstown, on a charge of arson,
was terminated on Saturday last by
a verdict of acquittal. We gave the
facts in this case at the time. The
barn of Mr.. Simon Long, brother of
the accused was burned on the 18th
of June last. Suspicion rested upon
one Michael Robinson, negro, and
when arrested confessed that Charles
Wolford and Benjamin Long asked
him to burn the barn Wolford was
arrested and confined in jail, but the
State quashed the indictment found
against him, and used him as a wit
ness.-Benjamin Long was also ar
rested and gave bail in the sum Of
$4,000 for his appearance at court.

The Way TO Build Upa Town.

Judge Hoke, in the first number Of
his paper, the Mountain Echo, pub
lished at Keyser, giving some advice
in regard to the building up of town
entirely by emigration and capital,
refers to Martinsburg as follows:
Look at Martinsburg AT the close
of the war she was a rusty, dilapi-
dated, little old town, with between
three and four thousand inhabitants,
now she has eight thousand. Her
population has more than doubled.
She has fine gas and water works,
streets neatly macadimized and side
walks paved, together with a railroad
through the county, connecting her
with Philadelphia. All or nearly all
this capital came from the North.
The people of Berkeley county and
Martinsburg, were sensible they in
vited Northern capitalists to come
into their midst, and to bring with
them their politics or religion, or
anything else they wanted to amuse
themselves with, and then assured
them they would not be disturbed.
They extended to Northern people a
full, open and hospitable welcome.
And this was done to a great extent
through the agency and enterprise of
her newspapers. Sometimes we
thought they made almost too much
of ado over Home Interests, Town
and County Enterprise 'Manufac-
lures, &C.; but after all, it was
about right. The amount of adver-
Using done gratuitously in the col
umns of her papers, i'll the shape of
editorials and communications APP
pealing to capitalists, was worth
more to the town than she probably
ever paid for it. At any rate the
capitalists and capital came, and the
place improved and property en-
HANGED in value. Shall we go and do
likewise?

WORK for the Nuisance Committee

Judging from the offensive odorS
which one is compelled to inhale i'll
passing along several of our most
prominent streets, there is imme-
date work for the nuisance commit
tee. If people will not keep their pig
stys and privies in proper condition
they should be fined to the full
extent of the law. Let the authori-
ties do their duty in the premises and
preserve the health of the town. No
citizen has a right to undanger the
health of community and render
the houses of his neighbors almost
untenable by reason Of offensive odors
from improperly cared for pig stys,
&c.

Outward DemeanOr.

Much of the happiness of our
life depends on our outward de-
meanor. We have all experienced
the charm of gentle and courteous
conduct, we have been drawn ir-
resistably towards those who are
obliging affable and sympathetic
in their demeanor. The friendly
grasp,the warm welcome, the chez
ry tone, the encouraging word, the
respectful manner, bear no small
share in creating the joy of life !;
while the austere tone, the stern
rebuke, the sharp and acid remark,
the cold and Indifferent manner.
the curt and disrespectful air, the
supercillous and scornful bearing
are responsible for more of human
distress, despair and woe, than
their transient natures might seem
to warrant,

Geographical Guide. or the
Impatient Wait,
MARTINBURG, May "a, 1876,
70 The Editors Of the independent

To The Editors Of the Independent;
DEAR SIRs AS you have asked
for news from readers, &C., | place
before your decision short sketch,
and try to write it SO you can form
an idea and publish if you choose:
A few weeks ago very industrious
and promising young man of our
town, who has for the past year or 50
been laboring under II very discour-
aging prospect of working for moth
ing and boarding himself, and after
waiting so patiently for the long
talked of Snailish Manufacturing Co.
to open its home enterprise to the
poorer clisS of our long-deficient
Burg, which is so devotedly cherish
ed by never-failing fogyism, he like a
great many more of our town, was
forced to check his bandana to some
more encouraging part of the globe ;
and as Tom had SO frequently read of
the big inducements which the glo-
rious West has 50 widely circulated
and offered to young men, he deter
mined on setting sail for the Black
Hills, where he could make from $4.
to So per day, as he knew the Mar
tinsburg Manufacturing CO., and all
other often blowed : Of enterprises
were like good times-very slow in
making their appearance. AS Gar
berry'sKilladrels' were below par, he
felt at loss how to get to that promis-
ing land, as he did not feel inclined
to take the passenger train, and al
ways had shyness of the other cars.
Still, Tom was somewhat of a profess
sional, not on the tramp, oh, no but
on the American stage. And as
the stage business was like all other
businesses around Martinsburg-
very dull-and Tom was now forced
to take small part of the pedestrian
profession, just as far as the Black
Hills. AS Tom was tolerably well ed
ucated he depended upon his geo.
graphical knowledge for a guide, so
he concluded to take the short cut
across the fields, and not to trespass
or impose on the fast declining Rail-
road Company's, as he was of good
natural disposition, and always re-
membered the good old saying of
'never push man because he's go
ing down the hill,' because he did
not know how soon the Modoc's
might push himself down the Black
Hills,after reaching his destination.
Still Tom was full of determination,
and would not permit any discour-
agement to keep him from the golden
hills. So he got a double pair of half
soles attached to his No. 10 brogans,
packed his little bandanna and de-
parted after a sorrowful shake-hands
with his many friends and his cousin
Charles.
After the expiration of a week or
ten days, poor Carberry was heard
from, and it was found that his long
learned guide, upon which he Who'll
ly depended, failed to do it's duty,
and placed him-not where the Mo-
docs are at present-but at Shady
Grove, where the Indians were when
Adam was baby. Yes, readers,
there is where Tom landed, and be-
lieve me, he is not getting four nor
five dollars day, but one dollar and
fifteen cents week on the repairs Of
the Valley Branch.
Who wouldn't go West ?

wash and be Clean

These hot sultry days one feels the
necessity of refreshing and cleaning
bath. Heretofore the want Of con
venient rooms has been a source of
annoyance to those who believe in
the healthfulness of frequent ablu-
tons. Now at Thomas Robinson's
shaving saloon new tubs, pure water
and plenty of brushes and towels are
to be had for mere pittance and a
good bath can be taken in few mo-
mentS.

Dizziness In business

The business depression in this
and adjoining regions is simply dis
couraging in the extreme. And, as
is the habit of mankind in general,
people, instead of applying them
selves industriously to what they
have in hand, seem to have relapsed
into an utter state of dependency,
and thus increase their difficulties.
1t is bad, to be sure, to be without
money, without work, and without
business, but it is still worse to be
without courage. Brighten up lit
tie and work the harder at what you
may have in hand. Don't give up
the ship" The major portion of the
country is in depressed state, but
we entertain the hope that ere an
other year have passed around plenty
and prosperity will once more bless
the land.

SPEAKER KERR.

The mud-thrOWerS are now after
Speaker Kerr. 1t is charged that he
received 5000 for his influence in
securing the appointment of a young
man to the position of lieutenant in
the regular army. Like the charges
against Blaine, Bristow and others,
this will be harped upon by the scan
dial mongers. and witnesses will be
produced who will testify to all kinds
of transactions, sufficient to cast a
cloud of mystery and suspicion
around the fair fame of Speaker
Kerr, and put him to Il vast amount
of trouble to explain satisfactorily.
And then, as in the case of Blaine,
there will be those who will refuse to
accept his denial and explanations,
and in the end Mr.. Kerr will
find, as others have done, that in
these days of partizan charges and
one-sided Investigations for political
capital, hitherto far and SpotieSS
record will go for naught in the opin-
ion.of those whose partizan malignity
will cause them to rejoice in the
damaged reputation OF any promi-
nent man of opposite politics,no mat
ter what despicable means are re-
sorted to to accomplish the end. We
are heartily Disguised with the whole
business. If there are dishonest and
corrupt men in high places, and the
fact can be clearly established, let
them be kicked out at once, but in
the wild and reckless mud-throwing
let mot the people condemn every man
whose reputation may be attacked
by an INSCRIPTIONS and irresponsible
set of scandal-mongers, whose chief
aim and delight seems to be to cast
suspicion upon any man who incurs
their displeasure.

THE SITU1TTON.

The appointment of delegates to
Cincinnati by the recent State Con-
ventions, have, beyond doubt, in
creased largely the prospects of En-
Speaker Blaine for the Cincinnati
nomination, and number of Jour-
mails heretofore doubtful of his NOM
ination are now readily conceding it.
1t may be pretty safely assumed that
Blaine will lead the Republican
forces in the Presidential fight, and
that he will be strong candidate
and enthuse the masses of his party,
is conceded by ALL.
AS to who will be his opponent, it
is yet impossible to even guess with
any degree of certainty. TIL urman
has been stabbed by the Democracy
of his own State Tilden, whose star
seemed in the ascendant few days
since has now begun to wane; Hend-
ricks seems to make no Roadway and
Hancock, Judge Davis and men of
that kind will not be tolerated by the
Bourbons. The Democratic candi-
date will evidently be taken from
among the list of the "Great Un-
Known

An Old Be,l

There is now on exhibition at Mr..
Philip Diffenderfer's shop an old bell,
a real relic Of the olden time. 1t was
brought to this town by the father of
Mr.. George Seibert, and placed on
the Lutheran and German Reform
church in 1901 and remained there
until 1903. AS it was an old bell
when brought here, the supposition
is that it was manufactured more
than a hundred years ago, and from
the way in which it now sounds, it
is still in good ringing condition.

Narrow Escape.

y man named Gephart and his
family were precipitated into the Po-

ago and were rescued by two gentle
men named Goodwin and Clark.
When taken out they were all insen-

ing used they were restored to con-
seriousness and life. The horse which
was the cause of the accident was

Huge Grasshopper.

Mr.. Jacob Swartz showed us a
grasshopper on Monday which he
captured in a wheat field near town,
where they are quite numerous,
which is one of the largest specimen
of the kind we have ever seen. If
any of these fellows were to attack
a field of wheat they would soon rem
der it worthless. We trust they are
not about in sufficient numbers to do
sarious harm.

Huge Rhubarb

Prof. VIM. Gerhardt has left with
us a stalk of rhubarb with the full
leaf on it, grown in his garden, which
tops anything of the kind we have
ever before seen in this latitude
The leaf is nearly round and meas
ures thirteen feet in circumference.
1t very much resembles a huge palm
leaf, and would afford comfortable
shade for Hindoo and his family.
