some poachers who were detect
ed SEEMING black bass streams. 1t is
gratifying to note the praiseworthy
efforts to ferret out and bring to
Justice these pirates of our public
waters, in the various States. Let
the game associations increase and

and with the facilities of restocking
our public streams, generously ten

The Union meetings held in Ha

The Hagerstown Herald says Mrs.

A member of the Maryland legis-

A religious revival is in progress
in the M. e. Church South, in Moore

The Winchester Neacs says: Old

On Monday night of last week, Mr..
Michael Wise, residing near New

out OF a flock of ten. One of the
dogs engaged in this business was a
fine Shepherd pup. We had always
supposed that the Shepherd was proof

this case points to the contrary. In

gotten out an immense lump of coal
to be exhibited at the Centennial.
The mass is about nine feet in length

half feet the other, and weighs over
a ton and half. The immensely of
the undertaking in getting out such
mass of coal intact will be appre-

is. and the delicate care required in
handling the lump.

Home Interest.

We were called upon Monday by
Mr.. Philip Showers, who in common
with many of our active business
men Of the county are laboring to es-
tablish manufacturing company
(for which they have obtained a
charter) and to which we called
the attention of the public some time
since through the columns of this
paper. This is move in the right
direction, thereby giving employ
ment to our home mechanics-keep-
ing the money in circulation at
home instead Of sending it to other
places out of the county. when it is
never returned to us.
Such enterprises furnishes home
market for our agricultural pro-
ducts, and brings the producer and
consumer close together, besides it is
an investment which will pay
good dividend as is demonstrated in
the neighboring towns of adjoining
States. With such men as Col. Ma
denbousch and others who leads the
enterprise it ought to be a success.
Let every one who has an interest
in the prosperity of our county give
a helping hand. The terms are
easy.

EDS. INDEPENDENT:


I have been pretty regular at
tendant at the different churches
for nearly thirty years, and have
heard the Ten Commandments oc-
casionally mentioned, with the ex-
ception of the Episcopal Church,
where it is made part of the regu-
lar service. In conversation with
several gentlemen recently, some
remark was made about the Com
mandment, "Thou shalt not'' do
so and SO. The reply was that the
Commandments were not intended
to be and are not applicable to the
present time. 1t has much that
outlook to me now, as after all the
years | have attended the differ
cat churches, / have never yet
heard any minister take up the
subject in whole or in part, and
give his hearers the benefit of his
views as to what scope and mean
ing should be given.
Is this subject ignored by the
ministers as matter too delicate
to be brought to the attention of
their particular hearers? From
the loose manner in which bust
ness is done by all classes, would
it not be good subject for all the
ministers of the city to take up and
explain to US the object and mean
ing Of the Commandments. No
doubt there are many other church
goers as ignorant as one WI,

DIR. Murphy's Bondsmen.

On Monday Mr.. O'Brien, of Mary

resentatives, the petition of Allen
e.. Hammond, who asks to be releas-
ed from "a bond given in 1853 as Sc
curity for Dennis Murphy, paymas-
ter military storekeeper at Har-
per's Ferry. He represents that the
papers and accounts were all correct
MP to the time of the seizure of the
arsenais in 81 when they fell into the
hands of the Confederates. No claim
was made upon the surety until in
January of this year, when the second
auditor presented claim of $57 SIS.
The memorialist claims that the
vouchers destroyed would relieve
him. Murphy, the paymaster, died
two years ago.

West Virginia Minerals.

The Alexandria Gazette says that
the mineral bureau of that city has
received from Mr.. u. Mendenhall, of
Sir Johns Run, Morgan county, two
additional samples, one of excellent
limestone to be exhibited with his
iron-ore, already mentioned, and one
a very soft, white sandstone. The
former would make a iirst-class blast
furnace fluX, and the latter would be
useful for all purposes where clean,
sharp sand is required. The ore,
limestone and sand are quite near to-
gether, succeeding each other in the
order named land are within one and

Game Law
quantity.

The law for the protection of game
and birds, which has been passed by
the Legislature, makes it unlawful
for any person to catch, kill or in
jure any sparrow, robin, bluebird,
thrush, martin, hooking bird, swal-
low, oriole, red bird, groesbeck, cat
bird. chewit, pewee, ground robin,
phoebe bird, wren, yellow hammer,
flicker, and dozen other insectivor-
Gus birds; and, between February
LIST and October 18th, any grouse,
pheasant, prairie chicken, blue wing
ed teal, wild goose or wild ducks
The bill forbids the trapping, netting
and sharing of cartridges; and pro-
tects the eggs Of all these birds. A
number of our farmers have publish
ed notices that they will prosecute
all persons for violating the provis-
ions of the law. Farmers in all other
counties should all do the same. 1t
is also the duty of magistrates, con-
stables and other officers to prosecute
offenders.
There is not more important law
on the statute book. The indiscrim-
mate and wholesale slaughter of
birds, and game generally, is doing
irreparable damage to our farming
interests, and if not stopped will soon
put an end to many sorts of game
used as food among our people. Pub
lie interest requires rigid enforce
ment of the act.

Religious.

The last Quarterly Meeting of the
M. E. church of this place, occurred
last Sabbath. Rev. G.. w. Cooper.
Presiding Elder of Winchester Dis
trict, occupied the pulpit morning
and night, and conducted love-feast
in the afternoon. The pastor and con-
gregation of the M. E. church South
united with that of the M. E. church
at night, the united audiences filling
the church to overlooking. About
two hundred persons were in the gal
leries besides the multitudes below.
The singing of the choir, under the
management of Prof. Carroll, was
specially attractive on the occasion
"a piece of music composed by the
Professor himself Was rendered by
the choir with the aidsaf invited
singers from other churches land was
very much commended.
| The Missionary Anniversary of
said church occurs next Sabbath,
Feb. 9th. The exercises will be
held morning, afternoon and night.
In the morning missionary sermon
will be preached by the pastor or
some invsted minister. In the af-
ternoon the Sabbath School will
bring their offerings with select ex-
ercises, and the Ladies' Foreign
Missions Society will occupy the
church in the evening. Next Sunday
being the last of the Conference
Year will be specially an interesting
and profitable one.

No Moon.

A Granger who lives about two
Eliles north of town, hitched his
horse tohis carriage, took his wife.
and started to attend meeting of
the Literary ian organization in this
section Of the county, which was
held at neighbors, some three or
four miles distant. Before leaving
home he consulted the almanac to
see what time the moon would rise,
so that he could see how to drive
home. In looking it up, he mistook
the place, and learned that it would
ee moonlight about IL O'Clock. He
remained at the Society until after Q
o'clock in the morning waiting for
The moon to rise, when on making
inquiry in regard to the matter he
was greatly surprised to learn that
there would be no moon at all that
night. He harnessed up his horse
and made his way home as best he
could Ia the dark. lie saws he would

This is queer weather and the old

THE MAIN ISSUE.

There seems to be little doubt that
the main issue in the coming con-
gressional and presidential elections
will turn on the finances. The Gin
cinnati Enquirer, the leading rag
money organ of the West boldly an
nounces it's determination to defeat
any candidate for Congress from
Ohio who is not for imitation, no
matter what party may nominate
him. 1t is for imitation without COM
promise, and beyond doubt yields a
powerful influence in the western
states. The Enquirer is Demo-
cratic paper but it proposes to use
its influence to defeat any Democrat
ic nominee who is in favor of honest
money. Well, we must say that we
admire its independence although en-
tirely disagreeing with it in its views
on the financial question. We con-
slider it most favorable sign of the
times when leading partizan organs
assert their independence of party
dictation, and pursue course which
in their judgment they believe to be
best for the interests of the country.
We believe the Enquirer to be fatal
ly wrong in its financial theories, and
will exercise the same independence
in opposition to its dogmas that it
manifests in support of them. We
will support no candidate for Presi-
dent or for seat in Congress who is
in favor of an unlimited issue of un-
redeemable rag money, we care not
by which party nominated. Believ-
ing, as we do, that the policy of in
fiation would prove ruinous to the
business interests of the country, we
shall oppose it under any and all
circumstances.
