evening, the first of a series of SER
mons which he proposes to preach
especially directed to young men,
The series will embrace some five
or six sermons, one of which will be
delivered each Sabbath evening, at

opening sermon of the series was
highly instructive, and contained
much that would profit not only the
young men and women, but all who
will give heed to the advice and
warnings set forth.

About Butter.

The Philadelphia spectators have
been buying up butter with the pur-
pose of forcing a corner in the ar
ticle in expectation of a centennial
demand. They are likely to get
caught in their own trap. Butter,
instead of commanding a high price
in Philadelphia, is selling at about
the same figures at which it is quoted
in Martinsburg. The Philadelphia
Times of yesterday says there is a
downward movement in the butter
market in that city, much to the dis
gust of spectators, who were operat-
ing for a rise in prices in prospect of
the centennial demand. Instead
of commanding IS cents, with an
upward tendency to 81 25 per pound
butter is weak and considerably
cheaper. Prices fell 5 cents per
pound last week, and already 2cents
per pound last week, falling from 80
to % cents. There is demand for
good prime butter at IS cents.

The Coming Fourth.

Places of lesser note than Martins
burg are already making prepare
|asions looking forward to the 'day
we celebrate" Yet, here, there is
hot the first indication of any inten-
.tion to do it honor, though it is the
centennial. For shame, let us do
something, even though we can do
no more than meet together and
join with the nation in singing the
Long Metre Doxology.

save Money

By buying your goods of D. M.
Shaffer q Bro. is the surest way of
saving money you can adopt. This
looks foolish, but you must and will
buy dress goods, muslins, calicoes,
ribbons, &C., and if you can save a
cent on yard and get prime articles
it is just so much saved. That is
what you can do at Shaffer & Bros
store. The largest and best stock of
goods ever brought to this town has
been placed in their store within the
last few days.
