TIE WAR OF TWELVE AND FoURTEEN.-It ssems somewhat strange to read in 1878 of men st1ll living, who defended StoninRtOn from the British in 1914.

Dedicated to my beloved brother, Dr. Le- +rand G. Capers, who died in New Orleans 2, 18TH
 BY MADaE HUNT. stand to-day on stranger land; A mournful emerald sea Is stretching out it's wailing waves Between my home and me. But, ohi with sadly yearning heart, With eyes that vainly hn, My thoughts turn to our dear old home The old house on the hill. Iris your birthday, ohl my brother, And the land is all in leaf, But my heart has naught to offer
 Save the passion-hower of griefl We keep the day in sorrow
 In the blooming paths you trod; You are keeping it in glory
 In the fower-land of God. The bravsst and tenderest,
 The truest and the best So soon to sink within the arms
 Of everlasting rest, - Has fought the bitter fight; You keep the day beneath the palms, Beside the seas of lightl know that on our home to-day
 The sunlight sadly shines; Four little orphan children play
 Beneath the garden vines. The roses you year ago : Watched into beauty wave, Unfold to-day their leaves of snow,
 To lay upon your grave. Six years ago with fond delight,
 With tenderness and pride, You gathered to your faithful heart
 My sister as your bride. You gently led her happy feet
 Across her fathers sill But to-day she sits widow,
 In the old house on the hill. Two years have flown since mother leaned Upon your breast her head, The while sad-eyed angel stood
 Beside oar fathers bed. That angel turned those dying eyes
 4O the Gb6rnal throne And when he from the old house went
 He did not go alone. God help us when such sorrows come
 To settle on our ivesl s. .t Two widows in the old house grieve .,-
 Where once reigned happy wives. To-day we miss two voices,
 Two steps, slasi are still, And only orphans gather In the old house on the hill Iknow to-day my sister Weeps beside your place of rest, And perhaps your little children
 Lay cross above your breast. H You are happy, oh my brother,
 But your place we cannot fill ..5. In the sad, death-broken circle ..
 At the old house on the hill. .. I know to-day in loneliness
 Our dear old mother stands; Life's web is almost dropping
 Finished from her trembling hands. And soon those weary hands will rest,
 That tired heart be still; ...F And she, too, will be carried e
 From the old house on the hill. ts Ohl brother, in those awful days That came before you died, r, When in 9 burst of sudden fire, ,., My very soul vas tried; When trust was ashes on my lips And friendship proved untrue, You held me in fond, faithful arms
 And bore my burdens, too. Tam trying now, my brother.
 In my sick and lonely hours, To take the cross God sends to me
 And wresthe it round withtAowers. And when death slips it from my hands And softly lays it down, sit Perhaps he'll strip the blossoms of ... And make for me crown. 4.4 We are coming, we are coming. Ohl my brother, one and all; Each day we see the leaves of life "o Loosen their hold and fall. And sickness, death and sorrow
 Will cease our souls to chill, When God calls us out forever

 Eharon.-John Leonard, laborer at the Malleable Iron Co.'S shop, Sharon Valley, came near being seriously injured on Sat. urdaY last. His clothing caught in belt that was running the machinery and he was very unceremoniously lifted from the floor and started upward, He was somewba, bruised but not seriously injured. This should be warning to all when in close proximity to belts or machinery, as such accidents are often attended with fatal re, suits. ..... The past week has been one of un- usual activity at the Town Clerks office. Cause why? Dogs, of which there seems to be goodlY number, and according 10 our correspondent of the Amepla Tunes, of gro- tesque appearance. Now we admit to have the Canis Msjor and the CanisMinor &c.,, but we would be greater fools than we claim to be did we pay taxes on such lot of talless, earlesa, colorless, snarling, growing quadrupeds as he nlctures' and we can account for this S-eat stretch of i'm agination Tn no other way than that he can- not have fully recovered from his trouble in the ditch while returning from the tem- perance() meeting. Our meat market is finally in full blast, and under the new ad. minlstration looks very inviting. The old firm of Van Devoort & Dakln has passed into the hands of MT. Taylor. Van De-

SHENANDOAH VALLEY R, R.

The rails of the s. V. R. R. having been
laid nearly tothe Clarke line, large portion
of the force of the contractors
the employees of Messrs. Riley & Purcell,
sub contractors for the regarding of the road
was last week transferred to the northern
terminus near Dufield's, to commence work
towards Shepherdstown. 1t has been de-
cided to cross the main stem of the B. & o.
R. r. by slight divergence westward oil the
present line, over the natural abutments ad
joining the premises of Mr.. McGary. The
Virginia & Maryland Bridge Co, we under
stand, have rendered to the s. V. r. r.
free right of way over their bridge at Shop
herdstown, and we have been informed by
Mr.. Satterlee that the piers can be raised and
an iron uperstructure-suitable to allow
roadway for horse vehicles and foot passen-
gers underneath, and the railroad above
be placed on the same for about fifty thousand
dollars. This is probably as cheap cross
ing on direct route across the Potomac as
can be obtained, and from ell we can under
stand it is not improbable that the PROPOSE
tion will be accepted. Should the people
along the line of road to Smithsburg be half
as liberal as this Bridge Company, (aud they
promise more,) we would suggest to Mar
tinsburg that it has bright prospect of
being left out in the cold, with mono to
blame but sluggish Court, which doubtless
will be held to fearful account to her people,
who have already BY overwhelming majority
expressed their desire to build the road.
We understand from Vice President
Boyce that authorized gentlemen will pro-
coed along the proper route of the s. V. R.
R. to Smithburg, this week for the purpose
of closing up the subscriptions and matters
of right of way on that route.

Botanic Medical Co., BufnIO, ~. y:
Gentlcmen-About three months ago /
commenced using your ''Anti> Fat" at which
time my weight was 2l9 pounds. BY fol-
lowing your directions carefully, have sue
ceeded in reducing my weight to l5S pounds.
This is all very satisfactory and pleasant;
but just previous to my commencing the uso
of your medicine, had purchased two suits
of fuc cloth at high price, and find, to my
dismoy, that they entirely useless to me
now. When put one of my coats on, my
friends tell me it looks like a crHeo sack on
beam pole, and when | put the pants on,-
we'll, description falls. My object in writ
ing is to ascertain whether you have not, in
connection with your medicine business,
establishment where your patrons, similarly
situated, could exchange these useless gar
ments for others that would fit. / think you
ought to have something of the kind, as it
would be an inducemeDt for many to use the
Anti Fat, who now object to using it, in con-
sequence of the loss they would sustain in
throwing aside valuable garments. Just
turn this matter over in your mind A
Clothing Exchange" is what you want in
connection with your Anti>Fat business.
Yours truly, GEORGE BOYD.
