Falling Water TGeriis.

The weather continues quite cool.
Some of our farmers have common
ced planting corn.
The recent cold weather has pretty
effectually destroyed the early fruit
in the vicinity of the Potomac.
The Touring mill at this place has
been rented to a Mr. Harbock, of
Maryland, for, as we learn, the sum
of $500 per year.
Capt. Sperow, the peoples candi-
date for Sheriff, is sweeping this cor
ner. He has the written pledge of
nearly every voter in this district to
sustain him. He means business.
A German farmer living in Mary
land, opposite this place, was called
on by a couple Of tramps at an early
hour in the evening, a few days since.
They asked for milk. which was fur
nished them, they drew revolvers and
demanded the old gentleman S life or
his money. He proved to be a pluc-
ky man, and told them to shoot, as
they would get no money. Failing
to scare him, they left and went to
the house of a Mr., Rench, short
distance off, where, we learn, they
succeeded in getting $50. The scoun-
drels ought to be pursued until
caught.
Bass fishing has not yet fully open
ed, although some parties from a dis
lance have already visited the Poto-
mac and tried their luck. The ladies
living in the neighborhood of the
river frequently pass an idle hour
angling. Last week Mrs. w. T.
Powell was passing an hour at the
river near her residence, with rod
and line, and succeeded in hooking
and landing a bass which weighed
over three pounds. This beats some
of our best fishists. We expect to
see the ladies taking a full hand in
the exciting sport Of bass fishing this
summer. PAT.

The general health of our commu-
nifty is good.
We are informed that Mr.. John
Fuss has discovered, on his farm, q
mineral supposed to be copper.
Several of our young men have left
this vicinity for the purpose of seek
ing their fortunes in the far west.
The recent cold weather was
thought by some of our farmers to
have killed all the early fruit, but on
close examination considerable is
found to remain unhurt.
Mr.. G. Hampton, of Cherry Run,
has returned from Baltimore with a
fine assortment of new goods. He is
prepared to sell gentlemens' suits,
made up, as low as five dollars.
Mr.. w. Dodge, of Clearspring Mr..
A. Wilson and self, in company with
Mr.. Bear, of Baltimore, who was
making geological Investigations,
paid a visit to the newly discovered
coal mines ON Meadow Branch, and
ON arriving there found the miners
busily at work, throwing from the
earth at depth of forty feet, coal of
the finest quality. The miners in
form us that they have tunnelled
twenty yards from the main shaft, in
a northeast direction, and have
struck a vein of fine coal six feet
thick. Mr.. Bear, who claims to be
versed in analytical geometry, is of
the opinion that our valley is an in
exhaustible bed Of valuable minerals.
1t is to be hoped that some of our
monied men will take hold and more
fully investigate our section of coun-
try. o.

What makes the spring time joyous =

Is it the charm of verdue and soft air
Or, shimmering rain ofsun beams Ger the

Or, waking up of bird and bud and bee,
Or long, dim shadows slanting DER the
Or, daisy-chains, that withef in the hand?
Art pleased my heart--art satisfied withal,
Canst lift tranquil gaze to meet the

Where, day by day, the lovely night
stars die,
Enshrouded in the sunlight's brazen pail.
Dost miss from Natures song some tender
strain
That leaves the rythm sadly incomplete!
My heart will music nevermore seem
sweet,
Venting that one, lost, tender note--in

Alasl dear heart, the spring comes not to

AS you and /, when earth renews her
youth,
Nor Winter, when the winds blow wild
with ruth
Else were we bay-crowned conquerors in
much.

OUR NEIGHBORS.

Mr.. John Powell, of Cumberland,
claims to have caught, last week, the
biggest bass eyer landed from the
Potomac.
Mr.. j. Chalmers Byers, near Shep-
herdstown, has a hen that lays dou-
BILE egg. Both eggs are perfect and
one enclosed in the other.
The Alpaca sheep belonging to the
estate of the late Hon. Francis Thorn
as, will be shipped to the centennial
and there offered for sale.
Mr.. John Parker, an old and re-
spected citizen of Winchester, died
last Tuesday. Mr.. Parker for many
years filled the position of Chief of
Police of Winchester, and latterly
was Market Master.
Capt. John Glaize has shipped four
thousand pounds of prime leaf tobac-
co, raised on his farm near Winches
ter, to Lancaster, Pa. 1t was the
first shipment of home raised tobac-
co ever made from Winchester
Capt. Glaize will try it again this

Our village is exceedingly quiet.
The white-wash season is upon us,
and our Mountain village viii appear
in the distance like white-winged
dove.
The young folks enjoy the beauti-
full moonlight evenings, although
the weather has been little too
cool to risk Swinging on the gates"
The physicians are having easy
times. There is no sickness much
in the village, and but little in the
country adjacent. The spill rend-
ers" think it distressingly healthy.
1t is the opinion of those who have
made an examination, that the ear
ly fruit in this section, although in
jured by the recent freeze, is not
hurt as bad in this particular local
ioy as in some other places.
The village "dads' we presume,
will take measures soon to have the
streets and alleys of the place put in
proper sanitary condition for the
summer season. 1t ought to be
done. REPORTER.

DIED.-Near Arden, Berkeley
county, on the 22d of April, 1876,
SEIBERT GLADDEN,aged 40 years.
The subject of this feeble sketch
deserves more than a passing no.
tice. He was rather singularly
taken, with disease in the head,
that baffled the skill of all the at
tending physicians. His suffer-
ings were intense in the extreme,
but he bore it all until the "Grim
monster at last released him from
his misery and pain.
In his death this community
has lost one of its most valuable
citizens, for he was a friend to ev-
erybody, and all friends to him,
and,w we doubt if he had an enemy.
A generous dispenser of aims, the
poor never went from his door ur-
fed, or the destitute unfinished.
He would at any time discom-
mode himself for the accomoda-
ton of others. He was generous
to fault. Once being told of his
deeds of charity to the unworthy,
he said mother, the Lord says we
must be good to the poor" Not
directlyconnected with any church
he always contributed more liber-
ally than most of the members.
His untimely death has caused
vacuum in this community that
40 one can fill. He is dead, and
his body laid in the mausoleum
of rest, but his deeds of kindness,
charity and affection will live and
shine with lustre, long after his
llfeless form has returned to its
mother dust. We have said he
was not member of any church,
but if a life of honor, charity, affec-
ton and love towards his fellow
beings is any passport through
the gates of the Celestial City,
then we think to-day our dear
frie.id is basking in the sunshine
of eternal happiness. AS an
other attest of his worth and the
esteem in which he was held,was
the large concourse of sorrowing
friends and relatives that follow
ed his remains to their last resting
place through the drenching rain.
He has left kind brothers and sis
tiers, and a dear, loving christian
mother. We fear this shock will
prove too much for her already
feeble constitution. Oh, Father,
thou knowest her wants, give her
strength to bear her sorrow, and
with thy Christening hand deal
gently with her in this her affiic-
ton. A friend,

IMPEACHMENT.

There seems to be considerable
doubt Of the power and propriety of
impeaching the ex-Secretary, Belk-
nap. The principal point relied upon
is that he was. ia private citizen at the
time impeachment articles were pre-
scented, and hence was not amenable
to a form of trial, and beforea tribu-
nal reserved only for public officers.
On theother hand it is commended that
his impeachment had been decided
upon by the committee before his
resignation was accepted, which
brings the case within the jurisdic-
ton of the Senate.
We think impeachment had better
be abandoned. General Belknap
confessed himself guilty of a most
infamous crime, one too disgraceful
to be digniied by SUCH a form of
trial. His case should have been
turned over to q police court long
ago. We can see no good to come
from an impeachment trial. 1t
would merely string out the man s
crime and the country's disgrace far
into the Centennial celebration,
would hold such contemplate guilt
as his up conspicuously to the notice
of the world, and if he were con-
victed--which is by no means GER
tain-his punishment would be no
greater than it is.
His exposure is as great penalty
as Impeachment would impose.
That would debar him from holding
Office in the future, as does exposure.
For the people of no community
would entrust Bell1nap, with the
stigma upon him, with the smallest
place in their gift, and no national
or local appointing power would
ever dare to confer upon him place
of honor or trust. A criminal court
alone can punish him beyond what
is already visited him. If he has no
shame, no sense of his deep degra-
dation, Impeachment will not give
him that, and altogether we do not
see any practical good to come from
SO very formal and dignified mode of
trial. He is branded, let him go. If
he is sensitive to shame he will suf-
fer enough for lis fault and, if MOI,
no trial by the Senate with such
penalties as impeachment inhicts,
can sting him with either shame or
remorSe.

The Expatriatiom Bill.

We sincerely hope that the
House will not adopt Mar. Faulk-
ner's Elk patriation Bill. 1t is the
same old piece of work produced
last year by Mr.. Fish, through Mr..
Hoar, and which even a Republi-
can House would not touch.
This bill ought to be called "a
bill to get rid of your citizens as
quick as possible" 1t certainly
will not increase immigration, now
so much needed. Besides, there is
no necessity for passing anything
of the kind now, especially as long
as the German-American treaty
lasts. The latter is by far more
preferable to the German-Ameri-
cans than the Faulkner bill, Let
us wait until Mr.. Fish has left the
Cabinet-and we hope that will be
within less than a year from now,
and then that important subject
can be taken up.
The Illinois 'Staats-Zeitung' and
other German-American papers
are utterly opposed to the Faux
ner bill; and as the adopted citi-
zens are most interested in this
matter, we hope that Congress will
pay some attention 10 their wish
es. At any rate, we cannot see
why a Democratic House should
oblige Mr.. Fish in doing what a
Republican House has not dared
to accomplish. Let that cold
bluoded know-nothing Fish alone.

BLAINE AGAIN.

Hon. James G. Blaine has made
another personal explanation on the
floor of the House, in which he took
occasion to nail some other charges
which have been circulated againt
him in regard to his connection with
railroad bonds. Mr.. Blaine, like Mr.
Bristow, is too much for scandal
mongers. They have thus far made
poor Roadway in smirching the char
acter Of these gentlemen. 1t is now
in order for the parties who have
made these charges to come forward
with the proof, and stop their asser-
tions.
