It seems that Nevada, as well as
Illinois, is afflicted with wife-beaters
and both are seeking some adequate
punishment for the offenders. While
the latter state proposes to revive the
whipping post, the former, with less
experience in life, is about to enact a
law that women heaters shall be tied
to stone post erected for the pur-
pose, wearing placard on their
breasts marked "Woman-b heater" or
"Wife-beater, "as the case may be, and
further punishment by imprisonment
and fine.

George Alfred Townsend, the
great American liar, has written an
open letter to Hayes, protesting that
the Secretary of the Interior-the
most important Office in the Cabinet
should be some man outside of the
influences of Allison. Wilson and
Harlan.
From this protest we should Judge
that Messrs. Allison, Wilson and
Harlan have prevented "Gath," 9TH
erwise the liar and BLACKBOARD,
George Alfred Townsend, of Della
ware, from stealing something from
the Interior Department.

The. Fire.

We hope we may be pardOned for
to the fire of this morning
in this connection, but it seems to be
a matter of duty. In city like this
where we have only one fire engine,
and volunteer fire company, COM
posed of our best citizens though it
may be, frequently inaccessible to
water, the question naturally arises
what shall we do to save our proper
ty from the flames. We would not
be understood as saying a word ex-
ccpt in praise of our fire company
or the fire apparatus, but it often
happens that an effort made at the
proper moment would save thousands
of dollars worth of property, and not
infrequently the loss of life. The
fire last,night if proper estimates have
been made, destroyed in the neigh
borhood of $4,000, and the confla-
grafton might have been still more
disastrous but for the fortunate
thought of Mr.. r. A. Wilson and the
practical utility Of the Robaugh Lit
tie Giant Pump. There was prac-
tically no wind blowing, but what
little there was tended toward the
south, which greatly endangered the
fine brick buildings on the south
side of Main street.
At one time VIM. Stellar's meat
market was on fire, and it seemed as
though it would be lost, but Mr.. Will
son. accompanied by two or three
other parties, broke open the pump
store of Messrs Cook & McCue, OBJ
tanned several Robaugh pumps, and
in few moments they had the salts
faction of knowing that their efforts
were to be crowned with success.
The fire at Stellar's was quenched,
the European Hotel and j. II.
Hatch's Chicago Restaurant and
other property saved, and the
building in which the pump store is
located was not even scorched.
The fact of the business is that these
pumps are cheap, practical, and al
ways ready for use, and last night
when the water was flying high up in
the air many people thought the fire
engine had been stationed on JefTer-
son street. At a very trifing expense
over the cost of an ordinary pump
you can obtain "Little Giant" with
a sufficient amount of hose to reach
to any part Of an ordinary house.
Messrs. Wilson, Hatch, Steller
Criley, Graves and perhaps others
owe the safety of their property to
the fact that practical and useful
pump was in reach, even if they did
have to break open the house to gel
at them.
Do not let the sun 60 down to-
morrow night without being the
possessor of a Little Giant pump,
with a sufficient amount of hose to
reach any part of your house..

Donation.

On the 18th day of February, 1877,
while all was very quiet within our
home, we were warned of the fact
that we, as the occupants of the M. E.
parsonage, must give possession for
the time being, which we did without
any resistance, but rather aided them
in their effort of beseigment.
They came in armed with baskets
of groceries, bags of flour, apples, pc.
tatocs and cans of various kinds OF
fruit, with many other things too te-
dious to mention, but very thankful
ly received.
The afternoon was spent very pleas.
antly, to us at least, in social converse
ton interspersed with music.
After the parties had evacuated and
we again became the lone occupants
we found we were not damaged
in the least, but profited to the
amount of about $3.50, for which the
good people of Martinsburg and vi.
cinity have our sincere thanks and
good wishes. Besiege us again.

The political campaign which has
finally ended in tho declaration that
Hayes and Wheeler are to be the
President and Vice President of the
United States for the next four years,
has been the most remarkable one in
one respect, the country has ever had.
And that is that the strongest argu-
ments which have been used against
the fitness of Mr.. Tilden have been
such as were uttered before his nom-
nation, by leading democratic papers
like the Brooklyn Argus, Cincinnati
Enquirer and Chicago Times.
Even our neighbor across the street
said before Tilden's nomination that
a man would be a dirty dog who
would support Tilden, yet he was
whipped into the traces and sup
ported Tilden.
And now that the election is over,
these papers, conspicuously the Chi
lcago Times, have gone back to their
abuse of Tildcn, and daily give rea-
sons why Tilden and the Democratic
party should have been defeated, and
why the whole people ought to re-
joice at the general result.
For our part, we have never had
occasion to coin any words Of severe
condemnation of Tildenism.
We have always found them ready
made to hand, from the utteranccs OF
their own Journalists and orators.
In this respect, as we said before, il
has been an extraordinary campaign
one in which they have been con
dcmned ON their own testimony
They therefore have no right to com
plain at, or be disappointed with, tn
result because they have themselve
chiefly contributed to that end.
| Democratic papers and orators hay
either been greatly given to lynn
or else Tildenism was fraud.
They will have plenty of time nov
s to settle that question among then
q selves and totheir own satisfaction.
