RAJ "Amicus," writing from Darks-
ville, to the Martinsburg Independent,
speaks of Memorial Day, at this town,
as follows
The Flower Strewing at Shepherds
town, on Saturday, June LIST, was ex,
tremely grand. Captain Faulkner's
Light Infantry, and Col. Nadenbouscb
Artillery gave extra zest, to the occa-
sion. The ladies didn't seem to enjoy
the firing of the cannon very much
though. The music was excellent, and
every one seemed to enjoy himself and
herself TO the fullest extent of the oc-
casion. There were able speeches by
competent men properly appointed. No
reference to the past bloody conflict be-
tween North and South further than the
necessity of the occasion required. AT
ter the ceremonies were concluded, there
was fifteen hundred dollar collection
raised to aid in fencing the cemetery
with iron fencing. The ladies had a
festival in progress also, which closed
Oh the night OF the memorial day.
Thanks to Miss l. for serving a
humber Of cups of coffee. The meal
was elegant, and relished very much.
Shepherdstown is altogether splendid
town. 1t possesses that degree OF en-
lighteDment which sets at variance this
sordid stuck up" principle, so preva-
lent in many towns and villages. l
hope that soon the great steam horse
may be seen ooarsing his way through
the town. l had the pleasure of meet
Jug the editor Of the Register, with
many other prominent men OF the town,
all OF whom are first class gentlemen,
and know how TO treat a stranger.
Business interests seemed to be i'll the
front rank Notwithstanding the dull
times financially. With many thanks
to friends and acquaintance, and with
the hope OF having the pleasure OF
another visit soon, wish all abundant
success.

DOBBINS, ELECTRIC SOAP.

Having obtained the agency Of this cell
ebrated Soap, for Duliields and vicinity.
/ append the opinion of some OF our best
people as to merits:
l have used all different brands Of soap
in the market, but unhesitatingly pro-
nounce Dobbins Electric Soap, made by
|. l.. Cragin Il Co., Philadelphia, the best
of all, doing the work of day in two
hours, leaving the hands soft and without
the injury caused by other kinds.
SARAH LINK.
"Dobbins' Electric" is the most thor
ough cleanser, of any soap have ever
used. You can wash without the labor
of rubbing and scrubbing the clothes to
ribbons, and also dispense with the troub-
lie OF boiling. 1t extracts all grease from
woolen fabrics and leaves the color uu-
harmed. Lie. DANIELS.
| am pleased to add my testimony in re-
gard to the excellency of Dobbins' Soap.
1t Is the best soap ever used.
Linwood. VIRGINIA BUTLER.
Dobbins' Electric Soap does its work
to my entire satisfaction. | can recon-
mend it TO all hoUse-keepers as a superior
article. FANNIE WlLLINGHAM.
l have used Dob5ins' Soap, and can say
that it comes fully up to what it is repre-
sented TO be, saving time, fuel, labor,
money and the clothes. ANN c. LINK.

give this Soap one trial, so they may know
just how good the best soap in the United

E4- MEMORIAL DAY AT LEXINGTON,
VIRGINIA.-A letter from Lexington 10
the Virginia State, tells us how kindly
the brave men who fell on Virginia soil
are remembered there. In the follow

grave of Gen. Edwin G. Lee, from this
place, who rests there near his Illus
trious kinsmen:
LEXINGTON, June 7.
Yesterday was observed as Memorial
Dav in this place.
The cemetery was visited, and the
graves of the Confederate dead received
their usual attention, especially the cor.
ner in which are inferred SO many sol
diers from the far South who died in
Hospitals here. The graves of General
r. J. jackson, Colonel a. S. Pendletou
(Early's Adjutant GeneraD Colonel AL
fred III. Jackson 0hirty-frst Virginia,

81 LEARN A TRADE.--Tne most
helpless men in the world are the class
of gentlemen whose education and as
sociations make them feel that manual
labor is degrading and who yet have no
profession that will yield them sup
port. AS last resort they seek office,
but even this resource is only lottery,
in which there are a hundred chances
to one against any one individual. Too
proud 10 work, yet they are not asham-
ed to beg for office-to beg the sue
cessful demagogues who importune the
people for their votes with fattery and
falsehoods. Il is much better TO learn
and follow an honest trade, and pay
your honest debts.

EGS- COMMENSURATE Mr.. K. w.
Lauck, Attorney at Law, of New Mar
tinsville, Wetzel County, in this State,
contributes the following compliments
nv notice to the columns of the Nesstn-
ger of that town, in reference TO an adj
dress delivered by Hon. G. Z. Butler,
our State Senator, and State Lecturer of
the Graugers, during recent canvass in
that part of the State:-
Messrs. Editors New MariinsuiNe
Nessenger:-Haviug seen in one of
your late issues a notice announcing
that our worthy State Grange Lecturer
would address the citizens of Point
Pleasant on the 2sth of May, at Van
camp chapel, |, being anxious to be
more fully informed on the subject of
Oranges, wandered my way hlhvr, and
| was much pleased to meet with our
worthy brother, the Hon. Butler, whom
| found 10 be plain, dIgnifed, intelli
gent, curteous gentleman.
The exercises of the occasion were
opened by singing few well selected
pieces, by the young ladies and gentle
men, who did themselves much credit
the music was excellent-at the close OF
which our worthy brother was intro
dpced to the audience who held the
large assembly in wrapped attention
for about all hour and half, with
very pointed, practical and plain discus
sion. The speaker came right down on
the audience, and held it, as it were,
spell bound, until the close. There was
but one objection to it, and that was
that it was too short. lie is the right
man in the right place. accompanied
him from Van camp to Lazear's chapel,
where he delivered us another excellent
address, with the same happy effect.
Now, Mr.. Editor, he will be at
Paden's school house on next Thursday
evening, where you and all your patrons
may come aud hear for yourselves.
Come one, come all, and will insure
rich treat. X. w. LAUCK.

Eg RIcHEs-Many a man is rich
without money. Thousands of men
with nothing in their pockets are rich.
a man born with a good heart and
good limbs, and pretty good head
piece, is rich. Good bones are better
than gold, tough muscles than silver,
and nerves that flash fire, aud Garry
energy to every tauction, are better
than houses and lands. 1t is better
than landed estates to have had the
right kind of a father and mother. GOOD
breeds exist among men as really as
among herds and horses. Education
may do much to check the evil tenden-
cies, or to develop good ones, bat it is
a fine thing to inherit the right pro-
portion of faculties TO start with.

GEN. GoRpoN RECOMMENDS AN OLD
OProNENT.-Senator Gordon, of Georgia,
earnestly recommended to the President
the appointment Of Captain w. H.
Nlckerson, of Gen. Crooks staff, TO the
vacancy in the aGjntant generals de-
partment, occasioned by the death of
General Pelouze. This fact causes much
comment, for the reason that Gen. Cor
don, then of the Confederate army, was
in front Of the position occupied by the
skirmish line commanded by Capt.
Nicktrson, at the battle Of Antietam,
the two officers being not over two
hundred yards apart when both were
terribly wounded. Capt Nickerson
was also wounded al Gettysburg, where
a shot passed through one arm and
another through both lungs. He was
adjutant general and chief of staff TO
Gen. Crook in the twelve years Indian
campaign Of that distinguished officer.
