HONOR FROM EURoPE.-It Is
conceded on all sides that DIR.
Ayers Pills are above comparison
with other medicines. Uniting
the best elements known to the
chemist, they are particularly eff
fective against the numerous
stonuachic disorders for which
they are recommended as a cure.
These pills are so mild. yet search
ing, that they are often prescribed
by doctors who otherwise do not
favor patent medicines. Indeed,
with the fruits OF DIR. Ayers gen.
Jus In the shape of Pills, Sarsa-
parilla, Ague Cure and Cherry

ty travel through the swamps of

Some of the wool growers have

The health OF this end of the

we have had no deaths since our

The farmers work has been re-
tarded on account of rain, though
1t acts favorably on the wheat

sents finer appearance Ia Bun

other portion of the county.
A few days since we visited the
bedside of Richard HI. Bryarly,
who, we are sorry to say Is pros
trated with what has been a pro.
tracted illness. We hope in good
time he may be restored to his
usual health.
We notice Ia the county papers
newspaper discussion relative to
primary elections. We hope this
discussion amounts to bat a differ
ence of opinion as to the best
method OF selecting candidates for
the various offices, and that both
the gentlemen engaged In the dis
cussfOn may be aiming at the har-
mony and unity Of the Democratic
party of this county.

were destroyed by fire about s O'Clock
on Friday evening of last week.
Mr.. Selden and the Farm hands had
just left the barn few minutes
previous, and were at supper when
the fire was discovered. No cause
for its origin can be OWNED other
than the act of an incendiary. The
loss is a heavy one, especially just
at this season, when farmers need
the constant service of their horses,
and the misfortune of non-insur-
ance attends it.

teresting Services.
In the month Of June 1862, Rev. S. B.
Barnitz came to Wheeling from the theo-
logical seminary of the Lutheran General
Synod at Gettysburg, Pa, and preached q
sermon, Introductory to entering upon
home mission work in this city. Yester-
day was the eighteenth anniversary Of
that beginning and was quietly but ap-
propriately observed by the congregation
and Sunday School, at their house Of
worship, on Sixteenth street Several
years previous to 1862, Rev. Thos. w.
Dosh, q genial Christian pastor OF the
synod OF Virginia, had labored faithfully
| for the Lutheran cause In Wheeling, but
the news OF the war interiered with the
progress oil the work, and the Mission
Church being without pastor for more
than a year the little band became scatter,
ed and discouraged. From 1852, however,
until the present date, the years have
been years OF success amid great struggle
and many discouragements.
THE SERVICES YESTERDAY
were conducted by the pastor and opened
with the usual morning introit, which was
followed by the solemn rites Of baptism
and confirmation, and the administration
Of the Holy Supper. A number Of per
sons were received into full communion
with the congregation by these ordinances
and very large proportion Of the mem
bership partook OF the sacrament. Choice
aad beautiful boquets, the gifts Of mem
beers and friends OF the church, adorned
pulpit and altar and sent sweet fragrance
throughout the sacred edifice.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL,
Notwithstanding the great heat Of the al
ternoon, assembled in eoodly numbers a

rooms. On the blackboard were the word
