They met ny chance of course. During the en-
tire forenoon of Sunday they were IN secret ses-
sion in one of the rooms of the hote'.
There must have been something oil emmlnent
importance on hand 70 have made 1t necessary
for Them thus TO occupy the Sabbath day; but
for this, their meeting here, at this particular
day aud hour, might, perhaps, be considered ac-
cidental but we must think otherwise, and ihat
nothing short of the most di-interested patriot-
ism and toncern for the welfare OF their oenlght-
ed fellow citizens, could have brought together,
on the Lords day, this truly Pious and tNso-
pUIsTICATRD little band of brothers. But are we

seriously the public should be on the LOOKOUT
and be vigilapt in the highest degree, when they
hear of such secret conclsve as thot referred 10

A CARD.

The manner in which L have been call
ed upon TO allow my name to be used rs
an independent candidate for Circuit
Judge, leads me to believe that the peo-
ple desire to have this Office removed from
the arena of party politics and placed as
it properly should be, upon more ele-
waited and dignified plane. 1t is IN office
of supreme dignity aud one of great re-
spensibility, the life, liberty and proper
ty of the citizen are to n considerable eX-
tent in the keeping of the court the very
peace and happiness of society, Its moral
ity and safety depends largely upon the
manner in which courts of justice admin
lister the law.
A Judge therefore shonld have nothing
to do with politics; it is an office which
ever should be separated from them and
thus kept pure and uncontaminated by
political bias or influences of any charac-
ter which might affect its purity or indie
pendence.
A sorry day it will be to any people
when the ermine is made the reward OF
political service or made TO subserve po-
litical ends.
| now say'to nv fellow citizens of all
shades of political opinions that II II be
YOUR pleasure TO confer upon me the hon
or | will accept the trust with i full ap-
probation fits responsibilities and prom
ise YOU faithful and impartial discharge
of the duties of the office; remembering
as [ do it is the whole people who are to
gain or loose as the law is properly or
improperly administered.
Inow place myself before the people as
their candidate for the office of Judge OF
this Circuit. Very respectfully,
JAMES III. GROVE.

The membership of the United Broth

Mt. Carmel Church, two miles south of

ing was in charge of Rev. Charles
Hutzler, who was assisted by Revs.
p. II. Thomas, Nagely and Hess. The

off pleasantly.
Mr.. Samuel Smith has sold his little
farm of 81 acres situated on "Buck
Hill east of the Creek, to MIR. John
w. Smith, of Virginia, for $500.
Mr.. N. w. Gain has just sold 81
acres of cleared land, lying on the
Creek, half mile east of this place, and
25 acres of mountain land, TO Mr.
William II. Burgess, our postmaster,
for $3.50, equivalent to cash.
Arrangements are being perfected
for having q postoffice established at
Ganotown, and the new office will prob
ably be opened about the first OF Octo-
Der.
Politics are not making such a stir
here, now, as before the County Con
ventions were held, and | think it is be-
cause there are so many candidates IN
the field that the takers do not know
where to begin. Gerardstown District
has twenty-nine aspirants for the public
trust. How is that for high?

~" GOLDEN WEDDING.-On Thursday
the 2nd OF september, 1880, Mr.. III. n.
Gallaher, the senior editor of the Charles
town Free Press, and Alkaline Bceler
HAYDEN, were united in marriage by Rev.
Septimus Tustin, and on Thursday night
of last week, Sept. 2nd, 1850, they cele-
bratcd their golden wedding by 4 rcccp-
ton to which all of their friends were
invited. A large crowd was present.
The residence being gracefully draped
with cvergrcens, and decorated with 4
profusion of flowers, choice and beautiful,
the gifts of numerous friends. presented
the appearance almost of 4 summer bower.
Long before the hour arrived for the as
sembliDg of guests, an influx of presents
began; silycrware of all sorts and shapes,
crystal set in silver and silver lined with
gold; coins, gold-pcns, pencils and jew
elry glass, china, linen,' ebony, wicker
chairs, carleton. crepe.
AS Parson Hopkins was cOngratulating
the whilom bride and groom, the vcncra-
bic Clerk of our County Court entered
and said: 81 forbid the bans-no license
has been issued by men' The old peo-
pie and the young people too, were graft
fled by the presence of "Uncle Tom
Moore" as he is endearingly termed.
The occasion was one long to be remem-
5ered, and we add our hearty conSratula-
tons to the venerable couple, trusting
that they may yet live many more years
ofwcddcd bliss; and after death never be
separated, but be seated ut he right hand
of Our Father in Heaven, enjoying
"ccasclcsS blessings for evermorc."

DIR STATE SENATOR.

II will be seen on reference to the
proceedings of the Senatorial Conven-
ton, held at Berkeley Springs, on Tues
day last, in our columns, that the Hon.
G.. II. Butler, our present State Senator,
has been re-nominated, and is again our
standard bearer, for the Office OF State
Senator, for this the 18th Senatorial
district, composed of the counties OF
Jefferson, Berkeley and Morgan. 1t
will also be seen that he was nominated
by a decided majority on The first bal
lot. which is certainly very tatterlng 10
him and his friends, and which knocks
the props from under the deep laid
scheme which was set up in this county
IN tho interest of the i. 81 o. Il. IL.
Co., and our people should rejoice over
this grand result. In the last session OF
the legislature, Senator Butler proved
himself to be an able and efficient mem
Der, and fully equal against inc mohoP-
oily of the Il. e o. r. II. Company, and
would have accomplished the demands
Of the State, placed in HIS charge had
not those who were with him become
weak kueed, and surrendered, and just
at that momentous period when success
was within their grasp.
Let us all then again rejoice, and full
ly congratulate the citizens OF our State
that we again have Senator Butler for
our leader, IN this Senatorial district in
whom We can place our utmost confl-
dence in battling for the prosperity OF
our people as well as for the prosperity
of our State.

TERRIFIC THUNDE RsToRM.-Last Sun
day evening, this section was visited by
the heaviest rain and thunderstorm Of
the season. The lightning was terrific
and the rain fell in torrents for three
hours, causing considerable damage in
knocking down corn and in washing OF
fields. Among other casualties, the
barn on the farm of Mr.. James Glad
den, near Pliers Chapel, was struck
by lighting and totally destroyed, to-
gether with POO bushels of wheat and
all his wagon gears, hay. &c, involving
q clear loss of $1,000. Coupled with
the above heavy loss, Mr.. GLADDEN. had
just been bereaved OF bright little
child, aged Is months, whose corpse
was lying in the house at the time OF
the destruction of his barn. His neigh
bors, when they saw the smoke ascend
ing, ran to his assistance but their eff
forts were of little avail. They man
aged to save about 100 bushels Of wheat
that had been stored in shed.-:Uar-

stated, is largely interested. Counsel

IS- The editor OF this paper has re-
ceiyed notice from the Secretary OF the
National Fair Association, at Washing
ton city, to be held on October 9th TO
the 10th, that he has been appointed
one of the Judges in the Domestic
Wines, &c, department. Now it seems
to us that the committee, in selecting
US in that department has mistaken our
taste, and we doubt very much if we
could do justice to the occasion. We
also learn that it was the intention OF
the committee, at first, TO place us as
one of the Judges in the "Baby Show
department., and if so, we could no
doubt have "flled the bill' to the en-
tire satisfaction of all concerned.
