A WAIF FoUND.-About 4 O'Clock
NJ onday morning Mr.. John Cline, No.
POI MiddlebrOok Avenue, who had but
recently had an addition 10 his family,
was wakened by a colored neighbor
named Jim Keeling, who said there was
a child out on the pavement crying.
Mr.. c. went out and found lying on the
sidewalk wrapped in lady'a skirt, a
male child about three weeks old,
dressed tastefully and having pinned on
its clothing the following note:
May God in his infinite mercy open
your hearts to take this helpless little
babe to your bosoms, and care for it as
tenderly as If it were your own. And
may you at last be rewarded in a
brighter and better world than this for
kind charity to dear little HERBERT.
Mr.. Cline kindly took the child
and his wife took care of it. Several
applications have been made by various
parties to adopt 1t. The probabilities
are that the babe is not a native Of this
vicinity and was brought here by its
mother, evidently, from the hand
writing and text Of the note, a person
Of education who was forced by shame
Or poverty to abandon it.-Sta unton

AN ASTONISHING FACT.-A large
proportion of the American people ar
to-day dying from the effects of Dys
pepsia or disorjered liver The re
cult of these diseases upon the masses
OF intelligent and valuable people is
most alarming, making life actually a
burden instead of a pleasant existence
of enjoyment and usefulness as it
ought to be. There Is no good rea-
son fer this, if You will only throw
aside prejudice and skepticism, take
the advice OF Druggists and your
friends, and try one bottle OF Green's

medicine have been given away to try
its virtues, with satisfactory results in

visit on yesterday and is the guest OF
Capt. II. II. Riddleberger. Col. F. is
Immediately from the Orkney Springs

charming watering place and its accom-
plished proprietor Col. Jones. We are
gratifed to learn that it is the purpose
of Col Jones to put the Orkney on a
first class footing by the next season.
Col. French represents the Lee Ball
on the Goth ult. as the most brilliant of
the series Of balls had under his au'
spices at the several springs, tho not
80 remunerative as some, owing 10 the
fact that it was had at the close Of the
season. Col. Jones has generously
repeated his invitation for the next year
when the Ball will occur between the
first and fifteenth Of August.
Col. French and Jones together will
offer premium for the best drilled
company Of white volunteers, open 10
Virginia and Maryland, our Valley
troops having now full notice we trust
that they will promptly respond to this
invitation, and we indulge the hope that
the Anderson Guards will bear of the
prize.

readers. Have you contributed towards
the proposed monument to Gen. Lee
If not do you not think yeu could
squeeze out five dollars for such noble
object? you do, send it on 10 the
Hon. r. NJ. 7. Hunter at Richmond
who is the treasurer Of the association
Every man should give something.

Our countrymen Of the

unparalledin the history Of the States.
Reports of their sufferings are appalling.
Think of men, women and children
dying without minlstering hand, suffer-
ing the tortures of burning fever with
out even the ''cup of cold water" Let
our charity now do IFS duty. May l
appeal to you as organizations 10 take
active steps toward relieving present
suffering and for continued help for the
next two months. Organize committees
in your lodges to 60 out and solicit
contributions Of money and remit 1t
directly to such points as the daily tele-
graphic reports suggest. Our common
humanity andreliglou are appealed to
by the sad havoc oftnis plague, and the
suffering must not 90 unheeded in the
charity halls of our ancient and honor
able order. Let every Ancient Free

manner that will bring every man, every
order and every community in friendly
competition.
The great distress and suffering
precipitated upon our fellow beings so
near to us must be my apology for this
reminder and appeal. We need only

The Hanisonburg Guards may be a
better drilled company than the Ander-
son Guards Of this place, (Which the
Anderson Guards and many who have
seen both companies drill are not pre-
pared to admit they certainly having
had much better opportunities than the
Woodstock boys. They have been or
gained a considerable time longer, and
have had a comfortable armory in
which to drill III bad weather, whilst
our boys have had no shelter and could
only drill when the weather would adj
nit of cut door work. During the
whole Of last winter they could have no
drills ofany consequence. But this was
not their reason fer declining tos take
part in the comparative drill at Orkney.
They had number Of good and rea-
senable excuses. In the first place II
would have been difficult for them to
Get the number of men required by the
terms of the match, the notice being so
short. In the second place it was doubt
full whether all three Of their commits
stoned officers could be present as re-
quired. But their principal reason was
this: ALI the Valley companies were
invited 10 take part in an encampment
held at Orkney few weeks since eX-
cepting the Anderson Guards. They
were left out in the cold without even
the courtesy Of a gentle hint from any
ofthe other companies. Why this was
done or who was to blame our boys do
know, butt looks so much like an in
territorial aud deliberate slight That they
have but little disposition to participate
In anything with the rest of the Valley
Military.

lures in Many Lands,

The famous travelling printer John
T. McGinty, better known among the
fraternity as "Texas Jack" after more
than a years wandering in the West
and on the Pacific slope, has again
turned upin this city. McGinty
is the prince among wandering
printers. He has walked from. Cali.
fornia to Quebec, and to Boston and
back again. He has made several trips
from Lake Itasca to Lake Pontchar-
train, and set type in every town on
the Mississippi river between st. Paul
and New Orleans. Not content with
wandering over the North American
Continent, he has crossed the Atlantic
and tramped over great part of Eu-
rope.
Texas Jack" is man of consider.
able intelligence and keen perceptivo
faculties, and the incidents of his life
would make an interesting romance.
He has had his love affairs, the. e.uncer.
tain running of whose current has had
muah to do with his tireless travels
for nearly quarter of century,. The
object OF his youthful affections is still
living in his native city. Boston. He
said that in all his wander.
iogs his thoughts had ever been
fixed upon Boston, his old parents
whom he has not seen in eight years,
and the object of his youthful love.
He served as a Union soldier in the
late war. AS drum major of the
Forty ninth Massachusetts, under
Ben Butler, he was in New Orleans
during Buffers stay in that city. He
alterward went to Texas. where he OBJ
tanned his nickname. He is now on
his way to Boston to join his old par
ents, marry his only and first love,
and settle down for the rest Of his days.
