On Saturday last Drs. Green and
Hollis, OF Morgan county, went over to
Cacapon 10 amputate leg for MIR. John
r.. Dawson, and after the operation had
been performed and while the Doctors
were taking up the flaps, MIR. Dawson
died.
From a number of Pennsylvanians
who have visited our county within the
past fortnight, saws the Martinsburg
Statesman, we have learned that there
was never before so much inquiry about
lands aud property in West Virginia as
now.
Mr.. ID. w. Daniels, near Harpers
Ferry, killed last week hogs, fifteen
months old only, which weighed as fol-
lows $50, 362, $50, $40, 800, SIS,
80. Very hard to beat
A household magazine says little
whiskey and water will give rich pol
ish TO furniture. 1t doesn't say how
you apply it, but We suppose you rinse
your throat with the water, drink the
whiskey, and rub the furniture with a
flannel rag.
Children, it you make promise,
keep it. Nothing shows a persons real
character more than little things; and,
even if the breaking of your word would
not lead to serious results TO others, ii
will lead to habit Of neglect and care
lessnrss to yourself. -.
While in church the other Sunday a
woman turned her head suddenly around
to view neighbours new sacque and
broke. her neck. This is a deliberate
lie, but ii is printed i'll the hope that
some day a woman will not turn around
a little toe suddenly with the above re-
suit.
The habit of turning horses loose
from the racks Oh the street, at night,
also riding the same out town by some
miscreanls, thereby causing the owners
great Inconvenience in having 10 walk
home, has again been put into practice
during the last week or two. Itcaught
they should be severely punished.

Prof. Carey offered and read the follow
ing preamble and resolutions, which

WHEREAS, We, the colored citizens
of Shcpherdstown, in the county of JET
ferson, State of West Virginia, do feel
and see the evils which have been prac-
iiced upon us as a race throughout these
United States by the Republican party,
and
WHEREAS, Our pretended friends of
said party have used the colored people
as tools with which they have heHn out
their political plans for the last fourteen
years, aud
WHEREAS, The arguments heretofore
produced by Republicans have had a
greater tendency to rid the colored peo-
Die OF confidence IN the Democratic par
ty than anything the Democrats have
done, and
WHEREAS. The private and public
teachings of Republican otfice-seekers
have so clearly proven TO be detrimental
10 our interests As freedmen and as citl-
zens of the United Stateo-tor this be IT
RssOiurd, That We no longer cast our
votes for Republican candidates, but
that we hereafter regard Republicanism
as dangerous doctrine; and that we
govern ourSsiUss as To our political
course instead Of being govfrnsd, as
heretofore by those who caused us IN
our political Infancy TO use The power
given Us against our arm interests, aud
against the interests Of those WHh ana
by WhOm IRE lice.
ResoIued, further, That we do all in
our power, in quiet and pleasant man
ner, to show our people that V', as well
as ihsy, have erred in our political
coulse, and that w', having corrected
our mistakes, wish Than 10 do the same.

JUST OVER THE WAY.


GA house divided against itself can
not standT Now, brethren, we know
that domestic feuds are most unwise,
disgracetul and disastrous to the peace
aud prosperity OF any household; we
deeply regret that such silly behavior
should have occurred in our beloved ven
cradle mothers house "Old Virginia"
which of you are to blame One of you
sc, up high standard of honor, and
forthwith began TO call the other ugly
names, because he would not agree TO
let the Pharisce come in and possess the
land OF Israel. The Israelites, through
the power of the God of Jacob, have
been enabled TO hold their inheritage.and
under the impulse of excitement have
expelled their dissenting brethren. This
is most naughty, and especially AZ they
had to affiliate with the tribe Of "Ham,
which tends to add TO their degradation.
But, viewing from human stand point,
provpcation excites, and excitement pro
,luces rashness, and rashness eliminates
in revenge. Now We will undertake a
,hankless job, and that is TO offer advice:
You settle this feud, and unite, for di-
vision is disaster and the Pharisee will
enter and possess your lands. See what
Won owe the Pharisee-that what he
paid out for his claim against you-and
pay him that with interest. Now il the
Pharisee bought the debt against You
for one eighth, or oue-siXth, as some did
and then comes ooaxingly to get You
TO pay the whole, with 3 per cent, he is
merely playing "Shylock, so as to make
IS to "a per cent, or to get your pound
of flesh. You have a very heightened
example in the Government OF the Uni
ted States, which has persistently re-
fused to pay the "French Spoilallon
claims" because they are not heIc by
the original sufferers.
