where the brothers had prepared an
Oyster Supper in elegant style under
the management of Mrs James Myers
and Mrs John Steele. We could not
do justice to the elegant repast set be-
fore US. All seemed to try to make
each other have pleasant and agreea-
bic time. The Hon. X. ii. Butcher

and he being asked to make speech
said after eating so many oysters and
turkey there was not any room for

THE Work OF A FIEND-Tuesdsy
nigh: last, at l l o'clock. stone weigh
ing not less than three or four pounds
was thrown with great violence through
the office window of Charles DaYies,
Esq, at Harper's Ferry So great Was
the force that it went through the brown
linen blind as if the impediment was
tissue paper-passing the lamp, it, also,
fortunately passed Mr.. Davies. In an
instant he appeared on the side, walk,
but all was silent there, so that clearly
the thing was the premeditated work of
a sober scoundrel On New Years
Eve, when Mr. Davies returned from
the Presbyterian Church, after having
there engaged in glorious work among
the children, he found gross, unname-
able nuisance at his Office door. We
have no doubt one and the same person
committed the aforesaid acts, as we be-
lieve no community of lIarpers Ferrys
proportions could contain more than
ono scoundrel base enough 10 perpe
trate such outrages. Surely Mr.. Davies
ought not to be subjected to harm Or
indicnities. He well merits the good
will of all. and we would not insult the
intelligence of the citizens Of Harpers
Ferry by an intimation that they do not
accord it. The creature that sought to
infict injury is "the exception that
proves the rule" of conduct at Harpers
Ferry.-Free Press.
RESIGNED Alex. b. Garland,
who, during the past year, has occupied
the position of Clerk at the Railroad
Office at Harpers Ferry, resigned his
post on the 3lst of De cember and has
removed to Alabama. Mr.. Garland
during his stay in office made himself
deseryedly popular with the public by
his courteous attention and politeness
to all who were thrown in contact with
him. He goes to Alabama with view
of engaging in commercial pursuit In
his new field of labor he has our best
wishes for success.-FTre Prr,s.
