Our village has been rather more
lively since the organization oft
Good Templars. Most of the
young men have renounced the
glass, social and otherwise, and
have pledged themselves to keep
up a continual warfare against
Bachus. When / say lively
mean social life. Youngsters unite
and blend their voices in song
without the aid of wine. In a rude
state of society. when war was the
great game of the master spirits of
mankind, when the chief pleasures
and occupations OF life were of q
coarse, physical, and voluptuous
nature, the excitement produced
by wine was not calculated to
shock the moral sense of the world.

Last Saturday being a gloomy
day, we concluded to leave the
reservation for a while, and walk
ed TO see how our old neighbor.
Mr.. James w. Chenoweth was
getting along. We were received
with that old Virginia hospitality
as In days of yore. when he gave
to his colored servants sugar In
their coffee and apple jack. We
took our'n without sugar and ask
ed no questions. He told US that
he had made a narrow escape from
death on Thursday a week. His
usual riding horse was In the
team, and he borrowed of Mr..
James Noll horse to ride to the
steam sawmill. to mark some logs.
While at the mill the horse fright
ened, and, wheeling suddenly
around, threw him on the ground
with one foot hanging in the
stirrlp. Fortunately he had
firm grip on the bride and did
not let go until his foot was re-
leased from the stirrup, and being
a very active man for his age. he
was soon GU his feet, without re-
ceiving any serious hurt, and re-
mounted the horse and rode home.
Our conversation then turned on
the financial question. I soon
learned that he was not green.
hacker, for he said he had az
much OF that kind of money as he
wanted, from the old Continental
down to the issuing of Confeder-
ate money in 1850. We then ask
ed him to let us see the Cont
mental money, when he showed
Us several notes, one calling for
sixty-five dollars, on which we
read the following: 1.-THE bearer of
this Is entitled to receive sixty
five Spanish milled dollars, or
their equivalent In gold or silver"
and signed by VIM. Stutch and
John Leacock. On the back were
the words: printed by Hall &
Sellers, 1870" They are nearly
square and are quite a curiosity to
any one who never saw CONT
mental money. He also showed
Us a British penny. Ii was made
OF pure copper, and Is something
larger than the American half
dollar, and has on one side the
British crown and the words,
Bank OF Upper Canada, 1885," or
the reverse lone penny

His place will not be easily filled.
The items from this place last
week, under the signature of
"Pluto," were not written or sent
by him. The party sending them
ought to have had gumption
enough to have used his own sig

spOnsible for what we write. We
will try and do that, but desire
that every tub stand on its own
bottom. PLUTO.

Politics seem to be resting quiet
~ at this point on account OF the
scarcity Of politicians / suppose.
Ii may be that the calm, accord
ing to adage, Is Indicative of a
boom in the no distant future.
Some men say that politics don't
bother them. but every man
should be Interested In the vel.
fare OF his country. Numbers of
young men Of sense aud polite
ness, pay so little attention Ia n !
tional affairs, that they are not
able to tell the meaning of "De-
mocracy' and like government
terms. Every young man should
post himself to some extent, 10
these matters, instead Of reading
trashy novels. We don't find our
mistake until our faces become
suffused with shame, on account
OF our extreme ignorance, when
business or pleasure call Us to min
gle with the world. Decide OH
your party and stick to 1t boys.
There Is but one hope for the
prosperity of the vile appellated
above and that IL a railroad run
ming through to Winchester or
any place, just so 1t passes through
ID. Whilst railroads have their
disadv antages, those disadvan-
tages are greatly counterbalanced
by their advantages. For instance
a number of hearty young men
seeking employment are accom-
modated, families enabled to get
along smoothly, merchants and
mechanics can drive along with
out being cramped, and general
business Interests are enhanced to
the extent that in reckoning the
disadvantages (such as dividing
farms, destroying stock, and hu-
man liv.sl that some claim,
amounts to a small consideration,
when compared with the general
benefits o railroad line carries with
1t. 1t Is to be hoped that the time
Is close when we can take the
train here for Martinsburg.

In the cars Santa Claus could not give
them any presents, because the train
was running too fast for him to get on.
This statement cast q shade OF gloom
over the brightiaeed children. They
sat for some time in medtative silence.
II was soon observed that the little
travellers were growing sleepy. Tears
gathered in many eyes as the little
ones knelt 90 the car-cushions TO lisp
their evening prayers, The little girl
said "please tell good Santa Claus that
wo are on this train going to see papa,
and if he can TO put some presents in
little Josie's and Maggle's stockings
hanging up on the car window. Amen.'
The children then hung up their tiny
stockings by tho car window In a
few minutes moro they were sound
asleep in the arms of their mother.
