Fey AN EXCELLENT BARN.-A short
time since our friends Mr.. David Dodd
OF Berkeley county and Mr.. Gregory
Britner of this town, erected hand
some and substantial barn for Mr.. VIM.
Boyd, near Mercersburg, Pa. Mr.. Dodd
did the wood work and Mr.. Britner did
the masonry work. Mr.. Jacob NJ.
Byers of that section, publishes the fol
lowing card in the Mercersburg Jour
mol, giving very high compliment to
those who erected the barn, and which
of course includes Mr.. Britner who did
the masonry work -
Editor of Journal-Having az inter
est in large grain crop on the farm OF
Mr.. VIM. Boyd, ] went TO see it, but
my attention was so much taken by the
barn Gust newly builO that l thought
very little about the crop. In my esti-
nation Mr.. Boyd has one of the strong
est built and best arranged barns have
seen in this neighborhood. Allpersons
who intend building barns would do
well to so and take view of this barn
from the mason work TO the topmost
single, and how every part is finished
and thereby learn to know that Mr..
David Dodd, (of West VirgiDia,) the
contractor has skillfully executed the
building according to contract. Any
person or persons employing Mr.. Dodd
and hands, in the building Of barns will
have short tower of boarding them as
they are fast workmen and quiet, ill.,
offensive citizens. Please examine the
barn, and it will fully recommend the
contract. Respectfully,
JACOB NJ. BYERs.

Sept. 9th, 1878.

To L. F. Ruppel, Esq, Secretary OF
the Greenback Convention-Dear Sir
/ Yesterday received your favor OF the
4th inst, informing me that the friends
of the N ational Greenback Labor cause
in the county of Mineral, who met In
convention at Keyser on Wednesday
last. had honored me with their endorse,
ment as a candidate for Congress, and
asking me when it will be convenient
for me TO address the people OF your
place upon the political issues OF the
day. T.,
While I am very grateful to my tel
low citizens of Mineral for this compli-
mentary mark of their confidence and
kind feeling, which, of coure, l apprecl-
ate all The more because it is SO entirely
spontaneous, candor compels me at the
same time to say that my engagements
for the fall will not permit me to take
an active part in the present canvass,
and that, consequently, l have declined
TO declare myself an Independent candi-
date for Congress, although solicited to
do SO by many of my friends and former
supporters for that position in different
parts Of the district.
Cordially approving of the cardinal
principles of your new organization,
which, though now in its infancy, is al
ready sufficiently strong to protect IT.

or both of the party Pythons that may
attempt to crush it in its cradle, and
thanking you for your courteous COM
muuication, l am very truly yours,

DT The Farmers Pic Mic on Byrne's

represented by the farmers of Carroll,
Montgomery, Frederick and Washing
ton counties, Md, Loudoun, Clarke,
Frederick and Shenandoah counties,
Va, and Berkeley and Jefferson couu-
ties, this State, was a most creditable
and enjoyable affair. The sturdy men
of toll, and the solid men of wealth,
with their families, were there, mingling
in social intercourse together, discussing
at their leisure those questions which
mostly effect their material interest. 1t
would be well for this country if the
councils of our State and Nation were
more under the control of this class of
our citizens,

have been been considerably amused
during the last week by the "Flying
Horses" brought here under the charge
of several men, and the five-cent pieces
flew for the ride upon them as fast as
the horses. The business proved so
much of a success that one of our citi-
zens, Mr.. Allen Lucas, bought one half
interest in it, and with bis partner start
ed on Tuesday for the Martinsburg
Fair. They will visit the various Coun-
ty Fairs, and continue the business out
doors until cold weather sets in.

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.-"Mary Dean,
a widow, living near Hillsboro, Ms
souri,, murdered her two children by
cutting their Threats on Tuesday q
week. She was arrested and brought
to Hillsboro. She said that she was
too poor to give them food, that she
murdered the baby first, and that when
she undertook to put the little ive-year
old boy on the bed TO kill him be chung
to her and begged piteously for bis lite,
saying: oh, mamma, don't kill me,
don't kill me- She needed not the ap-
peal, but threw him on the bed, and, sf-
ter cutting his throat, struck him on
the side of the head with piece Of iron
to complete her work. She is about
40 years old, of medium height, and
presents woe-begone appearance. She
is possessed of little or no intelligence.
She is supposed by some people TO be

The stepping stone 10 Health.

The acquisition of vital energy Is the
stepping stone to health. When the sus-
TEN lacks vitality, the various organs
flag in their duty, become chronically ir-
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 when
invigorates the digestive organs, and in,
sures the thorough conversion OF food
into blood of a nourishing quality, from
whence every muscle, nerve and fiber ac-
quire unwonted supplies of vigor, 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 disap-
pears, and that sallow appearance Of the
skin peculiar to habitual invalids, and
persons deficient in vital energy, is re-
placed by a more becoming tinge.

Some men are mere noise makers-on-
ly that, and nothing more. They seem
to imagine that buster will carry them
safely through the world, and that gen.
tie manners and quiet ways are signs of
cowardice. Never were morals more
sadly mistaken. The world is deceived.
1t recognizes them through their bor-
rowed trappings. The ears stick out.
The world knows them to be towards.
1t knows that true manhood is quiet
and uuobtrusive, never selfseeking nor
self-asserting, and, while it honors the
genuine article, Il laughs al the counter
teit.

To tlie memory Of Ella II show
who died August the 2jrd, ISIS.

When for the dearly loved and lost
The broken hearted weepeth,
How sweetly come the Saviours words
"She is not dead, but sleepeth!'
How full of mercy and OF love
The promise then appears,
That God for our Redeemers sake,
Shall wipe away all tears.
When for the sufferings of the loved
Our helpless spirits grieve-
The anguish aud the pain of death
Which we can not relieve,
1t reconciles Us to its all,
Even when for them we weep,
To know our Saviour at the last
Gives His beloved sleep.
Though here the step we loved OF old,
No more may bound to meet us,
No more the yearniDg heart behold
The smile that used TO greet US,
We feel that those "whom we call dead,
Unchanged in their affection,
Will meet us in cur Fathers house,
Whence comes the resurrection.
Thrice blessed 10 this word Of ours,
So full OF life and beauty,
The hear. that renders unto God
And unto man its duty.
But oh from every tempest free,
Ger human hopes that sweePeth,
More for more blessed our Ella
Who is not dead but sleepetb. 4.
