i" The Age of Reason"

The boy that went to tho mill on horse
back. carrying the grist in one end Of the bag
and q stone in the other, when reproved by
the miller, and told to divide the grist, re-
piled that his father and grandfather had
carried it that way, aud he, being no better
than they, should continue to do as they did.
Similar, or equally as absurd, REASONS are Sc,
counted as sufficient by some TO warrant them
in indiscriminsteIy condemning DR.. Pierce's
Family Medicines, even though there is over
wheImipg proof that they possess the merit
claimed for them. For many years the Golden
Medical Discovery has been recognized as the
leading liver and blood medicine in the mar
kes. Each year has brought an increase in
its sale, and it is now used throughout the
civilized world. Thousands of unsolicited
testimonials are on file in tho Doctors Office,
attestiug its efficacy in overcoming aggravated
coughs, colds, throat and lung affections, also
scrofula, tumors. ulcers, and skin diseases
Are you suffering with some chronic malady?
If so, and you wish to employ medicines that
are scientifically prepared that are refined
and purified by the chemical process en-
ployed in their manufacture; that are posi-
tive in their action, and specific to the various
forms of disease for the cure of which they
are recommended, use DR.. Pierce's Family
Medicines. Full particulars in Picrce's Mem
orandum Book, kept for free distribution by

HARPER'S FERRY.

With visit to this place, Oh my return to
tho mountains Of Maryland from the heated
cities of .he scaboard, came other thoughts
connected with the subject of my former let
ter to your paper. They are these: As the
decoration of the graves in Antietam cemetery
will bring Gas undsrstsnd) the President of
the United States close to this place. and,
possibly through it, in few day. and as the
same ceremonies to be performed in the GEM
eteries close to the Potomac, in Virginia,
will doubtless bring some of her most re-
nowned sons and citizens there, the time seems
more than ordinarily suspicious for calling
the attention of the powers that be to the
importance and propriefy of rebuilding here,
on its ruins, the late United States Armory.
With that view, if it should please Governor
Mathews. on one of the occasions named, to
invite President Hayes to spend 9 day in
H.rper's Ferry, and amid its magnificent
scenery of waters and mountains to view the
ruins of this former great work, and TO ask
his recommendation to the next Congress,
Of it's re.estabIishment here, who can say but
that the thing might be accomplished. 1t
seems to the writer. that every reason exists
therefor. Situated as Harper's Ferry is, close
to the Capitol Of the Nation, upon several of
its msn thoroughfares and upon two of its
large and historic streams, in rich agricHl
,ural section, peoped by brave and gem
erous people, and, as it has always bean re.
garded, the key and gateway to the sunny
lands of the South-these considerations,
taken in connection with the policy of the
present administration, which looks to q real
union of the States again and the re es.ab-
lishmcne of hesrty good will and confidence
between North and Snuth-ccrtainly no filter
place or more opportune time could be found by
the Government; than TO make this waste place
again resound with the hum of industry. by
rebuilding here the srmory and placing the
skilled artisan and laborer to work therein.
Aud, in this act, the whole South would re-
joice, and accept i. as an earnest aud sub
stantal token, on the part of the govern
ment of its desire to build up the places in
her midst that have been laid waste and to
re establish, without one missing link, the
chain that. for century. has bound these
States together. More anon.

WANTON WASTE.

The citizens OF Charlestown, West Va,
have called public meeting to institute
measures for the protection of birds and fish .
They want the birds to destroy tho des.ruo-
tive insects that prey upon their fruit trees !;
and they want to stop the profigate waste of
ash at seasons when it will Interfere with
their increase.
This profigacy in the use Of natural re-
sources is not peculiar to this locality. Our
wealth of timber, Of coal, of game and fish
encourages false estimate of the value of
these products in proportion to their album
dance. It costs nothing to produce them,
aud the localities that are blessed with q
surplus seem to think there is nothing better
than to destroy and waste what is not needed
for immediate consuu. ption. They forget that
there are other places where these products
would command high price. Our game
has been pretty we'll hunted to death. Idle
sportsmen scour the woods TO shoot down any
animal or bird that comes within range for
the simple fun of the thing. Our streams
have been dragged and Melted and boxed in
unlawful times until there are not FISH enough
left to make it interesting to TIE angler.
It is feared that even the great Chesapeake
will become ishless and oysterloss in conse-
quence of this profigacy. The oyster has
been thought to be proof agsinst all the
dredging that could be devised to deplete its
numbers, but it is now thought that the con-
sumption is becoming greater than the pro-
duction.
There are laws in West Virginia and in all
the States. that would arrest this needless
waste, if they were enforced, and there ought
to be public sensimen. that would make
them effective Tne action of the people Of
Chsrlestown 10 Q move in tho right direction.

:. COME no WEST VIRGINIA.

The Wayne county Allocate argues that
there are many valid reasons why those in
search Of homes should come to the State of
West Virginia. Prominent among them nro
its genial aud salubrious climate, embracing
neither extreme cold nor heat, and the most
delightful and refreshing seasons possible.
embellished by all that tends to make a
climate renovating. Its geographical loca-
zion and the diversified features Of its surface
render 1t capable of producing all the cereals
of the North Temperate Zone and the tropi-
cal fruitssof the Torrid Zone. The multi>
plicity and endless variety of all these find no
equal in any other State. The majestic
mountains and noble rivers abounding in
game and fish, the beautiful valleys aud gen.
tie slopes, desirable plateaus and numerous
plains afford abundant territory for agricul>
lure and grazing, which, for productiveness,
has no superior. Our juxt,Position to the
eastern market and seaboard presents de-
eided advantage over any and all southern
aud western States that compete with US.
Our timber is endless and inexhaustible in
quantity, and is source OF revenue running
into millions per annum.
The mammoth oil belt extending from the
waters of the Ohio in Pleasant county to
aud inclusive of Wayne county on the Big
Sandy river, distance of 200 miles. also
coal field of the best quality, covering the
same distance, and an area of several million
acres. uurivaled in volume and magnitude.
These lands are exceedingly low in price in
comparison with the same quality of lands in
any other State in TIE Union, as we'll as
Europe.
The only needful requisite to make this

ca, is capital aud labor to develope our natural

Matched out abou. eight millions OF fish at
Berkeley, near Norfolk, Va, which they have
turned loose in the water at that point
These fish, when they grow up by next sea-
son, will return to the spot whore they Were
surned loose.
The veteran corps Of the Si1ty-ninth

- The storm which passed over and around
our town on Sunday evening last was one OF
tho most terrific that We have had for some
time, doing considerable damage. The mos,
violent part of the storm, that doing the most
damage, WAS north of town. Tho hail de-
stroyed for Mr.. w. T. Lcmen about SO acres
Of wheat, cutting it of the same as if reaper
had done it. Mr. David Billmyer's wheat
suffered to considerable extent his dwell>
ing house on the farm had broken out of it by
the hail some so or more window lights his
fences, sheds, &C., were blown down and
washed away, and his orchard was stripped
by the hail of its leaves and blossom, thus
effec;ually destroying the fruit upon his farm,
which from appearances would have been
abundant. His loss he estimates to be be-
tween $500 snd 81 900. Mr.. w. A. Marshall
had 4 head of sheep drowned. besides cons
siderable damage done to his crop oy the hail.
The wheat on the farms of Mr.. Lorenzo
Etchison, and I. 7. Chaplnc, deceased. was
also destroyed by the hail, as well as clover,
fruit, &c. Most all the farms from the Neck
to town were more or less damaged. MIR
John Keplinger had fine calf to drown, and
Mr. VIM. Weise had q valuable cow killed by
lightning. The upper end of town was to
some extent overhowed By water, which could
not be carried off fast enough by the Gull
verts, doing considerable damage to the gar
dens. The hailstones varied in size from .
hen egg to pea Shepherdstorn Register.
