JOSEPH ANN TURNER, daugh-
ter of Dorsey and Mollie Turner, was
born January 18th, 1867, died August
9th, lS7S-thus being IL years, 6
months and % days old. That "death
leaves a shining mark" seems to be
agreed upon by all. The truth OF this
statement is doubly true, no doubt, TO
the stricken and bereaved loved ones,
who yet remain among The weary PHI
grims to a better land. While they
mourn the loss Of one, who was to them
bright, attractive and good-in whom
they could discover much TO be loved,
yet their hearts may take comfort and
hope that He who was so pitiful as to
raise Jairus' daughter "a child about
the age of the departed) has also raised
their child TO life, communion and iel-
lowship with Himself; has transferred
her from the earthly choir that sings
"Hosanna' to the heavenly and harmo-
Nous choir, that without cessation sings
the song of "Moses and the Lamb
the song of Redemption. How betit-
ting a close of life, to do, as did this
child, breathe the endearing name sour
Father, &c, when launching forth on
upon the uEtried sea of eternity and
thus show that though dependent and
weak in ourselves we cast ourselves
upon the mercies of just and compass
sionate God Bereaved ones you have
one less tie to bind you to earth-one
more to bind you to Heaven. May this
bereaved family constitute an unbroken
circle in the better land.

The Stepping Stone to Health.

The acquisition of vital energy Is the
stepping stone to health. When the sus-
tenn lacks vitality, the various organs
flag in their duty, become chronically IT,
regular, and disease is eventually insti-
tuted. TO prevent this unhappy state of
things, the debilitated system should be
built up by the use of that inimitable
tonic, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters which
invigorates the digestive organs, and in
sures the thorough conversion of food
into blood of nourishing quality, from
whence every muscle, nerve and fiber ac-
quire unwonted supplies ofvigor, and the
whole system experiences the beneficial
effect. Appetite returns, the system is
refreshed by healthful slumber, the
nerves grow strong and calm, the des-
pondency begotten of chronic indigestion
and an uncertain state Of health dlsap-
nears. and that sallow appearance of the
Skin peculiar to habitual invalids, and
persons deficient in vital energy, is re-
placed by more becoming tinge.

ma WHAT GREAT NEWSPAPER
SAYS OF THE COMING GREAT Show AT
CHARIEsTowN.-Unquestionahly by far
the greatest Menagerie and Circus that
has ever visited this section, will reach
Charlestown by special trains on We'd
nesday, October End, and that is The
Great European Seven Elephant Rail-
road Exposition of the Sells Bros. Its
proportions are simply enormous, aud
its education and amusement resources
almost beyond computation. 1t is also
as superior in refinement and elegance
of presentation as it is overshadowing
in vastness, and comes recommended
and Endorsed as follows by such indispu-
table authority as the Cincinnati Daily
Enquirer, which, in its issue OF April
Sd, says:
"TuE GREAT EUROPEAN ELEPHANT
RAILROAD SHOW"
ssThe Messrs. Sells, Of Columbus, so
widely and well known as both daring
and honorable managers in the tented
field, have taken a new departure the
present season, rendered necessary by
the increased size of their menagerie
and circus, and abandon the worm-tenc-
ed high and byways for the straight and
narrow path of the steel rail, over which
their special trains of animals and arenic
possessions will thunder to the amaze
ment, edifcation and delight OF the ma
tives everywhere. Their present venture
exceeds, in both size, novelty and ex-
pense, anything of the kind heretofore
attempted, and includes among other
noticeable features, seven elephants, the
largest number exhibited by any one
menagerie; FIVE performing baby ele-
plants, pair of twin baby nursing ele-
phants-a geological curiosity without
a parallel-an elephant carried outhe
high platform of huge tableau-car
throug Oh the streets, the only two-horn-
ed rhinoceros in the country, superb
Ethiopian horned horse, and other rare
exotic animal attractions. The circus
will present besides an immense compa-
ny of equestrian and gymnastic celebri-
ties and a troupe of wonderful perform
ing dogs, goats, monkeys and ponies, a
stud of remarkable trick Eo-ses. Here
are more than enough animals and an
tics to satiate the most exacting of saw
dust patrons, and the decorum and lib
erality always characteriziug the Messrs.
Sells management will render success a
well-deserved certainty. Open the throt-
tle-valve.

For proof of this assertion, we ask any
one who may doubt US, to call at the

of the finest sets of harness that any
one would wish to see Mr.. Loyns is a
mechanic that understands his business,

By A HANDSOME SToRE,-While in
Martinsburg last week, we called upon
the proprietors of the ''Blue Front"
Messrs. Davis 81 Cole. We found them
busily engaged i'll business in one ofthe
neatest kept stores you would wish to
enter. The grea. advantage OF their
store is, that it is divided into two apart
ments connected with each other by a
door, and so arranged that ladies and
gentlemen can purchase without the one
being embarrassed by the other. We
found that they had large and we'll Sc
lected stock Of goods on hand, and that
they could furnish Boots d Shoes OF all
descriptions at the most reasonable prices
ever offered in the market. They not
only have a large retail trade, but do
quite an extensive wholesale business.
Mr.. Cole, the Junior member of the
firm, who is one of the most polite and
most excellent business men, informed
us that the success of their business was
greatly due to their advertising OF the
same, aud that the Register he found
was one OF the best papers to advertise
in. This is the sentiment OF all true
business men. We are confident that
all who call upon this firm will get the
worth of their money, and come away
satisfied. SO remember the "Blue Front
Shoe House when you go to Martins

By In country like this, where the
landscape, in whatever direction you
look, is gracefully set off by gently
swelling hills that shade imperceptibly
into blue mountains, which rise to frame
the picture, and as we thoughtlessly in
hale their fresh, invigorating breezes
that "quicken the pulses and send the
tide of life in healthful currents through
the veins" it is difficult to realize that a
terrible scourge has swept over portions
of this fair land, depopulating towns
and villages, sweeping whole families
into eternity, prostrating commerce, dis
organizing all business enterprises, and
is still raging with undated fury. We
can readily understand how well calcu-
lated such state of affairs is to plunge
whole communities of most worthy peo-
pie into the depth of wretchedness and
want; and how piteous in their helpless
ness must be their appeals to the sym
pathies and generosity of their more
favoured fellow beings. But the vast
sums of money and supplies, which
poured in from all quarters, show the
response to lie fully commensurate with
the appeal. So noble has been the spirit
which has animated our people, that
they have seemed TO vie with each 9th
er in their efforts to supply the wants Of
the needy. 1t is grand and impress
sive spectacle to see two great sections
of this republic, but recently arranged
against each other in deadly hostility,
now united in peace and sharing their
sympathies and substance at the cry Of
distress and the exigencies of common
humanity. Corrupt politicians of the
Blaine and Conkling school may stir up
sectional strifes for selfish purposes, and
the responding acetic may indulge in
gloomy forbodings about our political
future; still, to all candid minds, there
can be no more gratifying proof of the
homogeneousness of our people and
stability OF our institutions; and We may
we'll hope that this great national calam-
ity, involving, as it does, such an enor-
nous sacrifice of precious human life,
may long continue to bind, in ever
strengthening bonds OF love and mutual
sympathy, the hearts of our whole peo-
pie.
May the God of infinite mercy and
peace stay the fearful ravages of this tell
destroyer; may He comfort the bereaved
and the dying, and may He put it into
the hearts of all classes to come toge:h-
er, irrespective of creed and party affili-
ations, and unite in sharing, if need be,
to the last, with that unfortunate peo-
pie whom He in His wisdom has seen
tit tc atflict so severely. While iEdul-
ing in these reflections, we are happy
in the consciousness that our true and
generous and tried people of Jefferson
have not been backward in contributing
to the relief of their brethren of the
South, with whom they have suffered
and bled in days now past and gone,
and whose destinies they share in the
arduous struggles of human life.

THE MIST CLEARING AWAY.

Senator Wallace, Of Pennsylvania,
has sounded the keynote to the North
ern Democracy on the finance question;
he is for repeating the National Bank
ing Law, which gives TO the bondhold-
ers both bonds and money; this is
too much of a good thing to one
party at the expense of another, and is
likely to split up the old political par
ties.
lie wants bonds issued at low rates
of interest, and the money issued upon
the pledge of the bonds, the interest
upon the bonds to be covered into the
U. S. Treasury to pay for use of the
money; this is quite an Improvement
upon the present Yankee greed, which
claims bonds and interest, and then
ninety per cent of money to make more
interest with.
lie is not, however, entirely clear on
the volume, but thinks contraction ought
TO cease.
AS to greenbacks being legal ten
der as between individuals, he has
doubts, but thinks the government
should take its own money in payment
of its dues. And when the Senator gets
out into the clear, pure atmosphere OF
financial justice and equity, free from
party and personal bias, he will realize
the fact that money is mere token OF
value agreed upon by the people, who
authorize and use it, and that its intrin-
sic value is matter of custom OF fancy,
whilst its commercial value, TO be just,
should be equal. We hope to see the
Democratic party of the North come
out Of this financial fog and stand square
up for just and honest financial legisla-
ton.
Not giving bonds and gold interest,
then currency to loan FOR more interest
to one class while the other class must
bear the burden to pay the interest on
both the bonds and the money. Oh,
Justice! where is thy shame?
