OBITUARY.

To our darling JANE LINK, daugh
Ter of Mr.. Daniel Link.
She was too dear 10 stay below,
God called her up above:
He called her from the earthly clay,
To sing redeemiug love.
We will miss the little darling.
Yes, well miss the smiles Of love;
But another loved her better,
SO lie called her home above.
We watched and waited by her,
Still hoping she would stay;
But the angels gently whispered,
jamie, you must come away.
Weep not for her, dear parents.
She could no longer stay;
She is now all angel waiting
To welcome you some day.
Then put away the little clothes
That your darling used 10 wear.
For on earth she'll need them never.
She has climbed the golden stair.
Mother, fIther, brother, sisters,
Weep for her 30 more;
For you may meet your little darling,
Where parting will be no more.

three miles from Marlinsburg, was
very dangerously shot last Friday night
about midnight by party of negroes,
three in number, who had gone to his
premises for the purpose OF robbery.
Mr. Kearfoot was in his stable at the
time the negroes made all attempt to
break into his house. Failing, however,
they came directly to his hen-bouse, and
one actually crawled over Mr.. K. as he
laid in the Manager. AT this moment
Mr.. X. spraug up and told the negro to
leave. The negro ran, but another,
who was behind Mr.. r., shot him, the
ball entering bis groin. The thieves
then ran, followed by MIR. H., who
emp,ied his revolver after them. Mr..

! Hints for the season.

Don't let few supshiny days deceive
you into letting up ON the care OF your
stock. March is hard month, especial
ly for growing animals. The appetite
has tagged somewhat, and the sudden
changes Of weather are very trying, A
little neglect will surely cause them to
get set back; few set backs mean
'spriug-poor" stock; and this means
well, the butcher or stock-bpyer will tell
you that this means, in language that
you ought to understand, viz, dollars
and cents. .,.-..
Incoming cows or ews need the best
of care as to feed, drink, pure air,
warmth and bedding. Slippery water
ing places, too high feed, injuries from
crowding aud exposure, all to BE- guard
ed against
The heus-aud especially the pullets
ARE beginning to sing in their cheer
full, contented manner on the sunny side
of the taru, or in the comfortable coops.
This means more eggs and unless you
expect TO get something from nothing
you know what the biddies require.
Only don't forget the shell making ma
terial, fresh water, clean nests and warm
breakfasts.

r9- The cure for hard times lies in /,

n9- The cure for hard times lies in
return to farming. Ii the surplusage Of
citizens in the towns and cities would
move to the country and so to till
ing the soil, they would have plenty to
do and plenty to eat, and would be in
dependent of everybody and everything.
Initiation would then be Unnecessary,
and the country would be filed with
peace and plenty" The soil is tho
only true friend TO man. When one cul-
tivates his own broad acres, and has
plenty of wheat and corn for his own
use and 10 spare, he is prince indeed.
Is it not strange that people will not see
things in their true light.

The storm that fell upon our section
on last Monday evening was unprece-
den,ed in its severity. The bottom
dropped out of the clouds and the water
came down in huge sheets, amidst thun-
der and lightning, while in some places
hail fell to the depth of several inches.
MIR. Rein Shugart sustained loss
amounting, probably, to FIVE hundred
dollars, and was the heaviest loser in
town. The following persons suffered
more or less by the overlooking of
Evitt's run David Howell, A. OBan-
non, Geo Johnson, j. III. Haines, w.
III. Moore, Jr., Isaac Heidwohl, w. A.
Davis, Fl. Cook (cold), Eliza Taylor
(col'd), Jno. Jackson (col'd) and others
living Oh the line of the raging stream.
The storm in other parts of our coun-
ty did much damage. AT Camerons
Station the railroad track was flooded
to a depth OF three feet, and Mr.. Rhody
Kennedy completely washed out of
house and home, his family barely es-
Gaping with their lives. All honor TO
Messrs. Mason Young and Thos Eagan,
VINO risked their own lives to save those
of Mr. Kennedys children.
Mr.. George Ii. Turner lost heavily at
his mills, also in fencing on his farm.
Sheriff Bakers mill dam was, for the
first time since lS43, considerably dam
aged. Mr.. JHo Burns was heavy
looser, as also Mr.. II. B. Davenport and
Esrom Sitter. We are in favor of the
cold water movement, bu, whep it be-
gins to move SO rapidly, and in such
large quantities, We regret that onr
local habita,ion is upon Potato Hill,and
that We get .Lot only our own share, but
that Of our neighbors who lived up
higher. 90. -
Wishing to sustain our reputation for
veiacity, we will carefully abstain, from
giving either the depth of the hail or
the size of the Maidstone. Suffice it to
say, that We have heard the depth given
at from six inches up to FIVE feet, and
the size of the stones from sheled
walnut to hen egg, and We think it
highly probable that all of these esti-
mates are correct. Mr.. David Howells
COW distinguished herself during the
storm, by trying "a life on the rolling
wave" and drifting, with tail cree, and
horns all bristling in the beginnings
glare, down Eyitt's run.-Spirit.
