About six months ago there was
a man came to our county and set
tied about two miles from town.
He calls himself doctor and q law
yer and a newspaper correspon-
dent, and says he Ii native OF
Berkeley county. He il q very
sarcastic and excItable old gentle
man, and speaks his mind very
quickly, and on account of & hts
his neighbor5 sometimes get Of
Tended at him. But like the old
gentleman on account ofthe union
he has In him. He told me he was
a news gatherer, and think he
sometimes gathers a little too
much personal news. But we will
make due allowance for ali this.
But last week he wrote an article
In which he accused the Mayor of
this town of using his Office UNI
duly In an official position, to-
wards the temperance men. /
would just say that the council Of
this town grants license for the
sale of Intoxicating drinks. and
license have been granted to two
parties here year after year. But
when the council q few days ago
granted license to sell only malt
liquors, the whiskey sellers, and
the temperance men, and the
preacher tried to stop 1t with a Pc
tition, which they could not do,
for the applicant for malt drinks
petition was ahead as far as heard
from. and more precincts not
head from. And so 1t will ever
be when men want to prevent the
sale of beer and sell whiskey in
stead. The people of this county
are getting on the German plan.
They want beer instead Of whisky.
And | am In favor of beer. /
think 1t will break down the sale
OF whisky, and as long as people
will and must drink give them
beer instead of whiskey.

Irish Relief.

MEETING AT THE COURTHOUSE TO
AID THE SUFFERERS IN IRE
LAND.
Pursuant to the call of the Mayor,
a large and respectable meeting was
held at the Courthouse on Monday
evening last. Hon. G. J. Faulkner
was called to the chair, and address
ed the meeting upon the subject of
Ireland and its sufferings. Mr.. j.
III. Gettinger was appointed Secre-
tary. The following preamble and
resolutions, offered by Mr.. Faulk-
ner, were unanimously adopted:
The citizens~ of Martinsburg hay
ing heard with deep and sincere pain
of the impoverished and starving
condition of a large portion Of the
people Of Ireland, a condition of suf-
fering caused by no idleness or want
of manly effort on their part, but by
one of those inscrutable visitations
of Providence, which 1t is vain for
man to attempt to penetrate, but
which must be accepted in humble
submission to the will of the Su-
preme Ruler of the Universe; ac-
knowledging the Christian duty
which requires us to sympathize
with suffering humanity, no matter
in what portion of the globe this suf-
fering may exist, recognizing the
people of Ireland as in an especial
manner entitled to our pr0foundest
sympathies by the many social, moral
and historical ties and associations
which bind US to that country.
ResolUed, That the citizens OF
Martinsburg esteem it a high privi-
lege to make, from their limited re-
sources, an humble contribution to
that noble fund of charity and be-
nevOlence which is now pouring into
the Inflated Island, from the people
OF the United States.
RESOLVED, That committee of
three be appointed In each of the FIVE
wards of this city, to solicit contri-
buttons for the purpose aforesaid.
Resolred, That the money when
so collected be paid over to the May
or of this city, who is instructed to
forward the same in the name Of the
citizens of Martinsburg, w. Va, to
be applied tofthe relief of the suffer
ing poor in Ireland, ~
Resolred, That the committee are
requested, and expected, to make q
thorough canvass, giving every one
an opportunity to contribute, how
ever small the SUM may be, and to
report and pay over to the Mayor, at.
the Mayors office, Wednesday even
ing, March 3rd, at n o'clock.
In response to the resolutions, the
following committees were appoint
ed, for the different wards:
First Ward: g. w. Doll, p. Show

very important offices. He has
been Judge OF our County Court
for about I years, and represented

The Junior fire company OF la.

a new engine. The old one has been
in use for Is years and is about
played out.
Leave has has been obtained in
the Legislature for the introduction
of bill providing for water works
in Hagerstown.
The U. 5. Government advertises
for sale on Tuesday, May o5th, its

The canal men are busy preparing
for the spring opening of the canal.
Every one predicts an early COM
mencement of trade and a prosper

mer.
Garrison Elchison, well known
and highly respected citizen of JEFF
ferson, Frederick county, Md, aged
about SO years, attempted suicide by
cutting his throat in q horrible man
ner with a razor last Tuesday. Ills
injuries are considered fatal.
The owner of the furnace at
Knoxville, short distance below
Weverton, on the Potomac river, is
mining ore at his ore banks in West
Virginia. and intends to put the
works in full operation early in the
Spring. Another sign of rev.ying
business prosperity.
The residence of William Lloyd,
at Sir Johns Run, was destroyed by
fire about 3 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing. The Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road buildings were on fire several
times and saved only by hard work.
The fire was caused by a defective
flue and the loss was about $500.
Mr.. Lloyd, who is a Baltimore and
Ohio railroad employee, was in Cum
berland at the time of of the fire.
The Shepherdstown Register says:
We have been informed that the es.
tate of the late Francis Gardner
one of the largest in the county-has
been settled and distributed among
his heirs, without will, adminis-
traitor, executor, attorney, or the in
terposition of the courts. This is
most commendable proceeding, both
in social and economic view, and
reflects creditably upon those who
have managed it. 1t rarely occurs
In the settlement of large estates,
which have been accumulated thro'
q long life of patient toll and rigid
frugality, as this one was, that such
discrete management ensues In its
distribution, unless controlled by the
will power that made it. We also
understand that there was a generous
forbearance and just liberality of
spirit manifested by the parties dis
rectly interested In this large estate
and that the five farms and some
forty thousand dollars Of personal
property was divided among the
three heirs without entailing a debt

In the "greatcst effort of his life" at the
Academy of Music, New York, Friday
night, Roscoe Conkling said;
The general issue confronting us is in it.
self, and in its bearings, sectional. ! would,
and you would il were not so, but 1t is so.
If in one portion Of the country one party
outnumbers the other, even by overwheln-
ing odds, the fact need not be blamable
nor proof of sectional aggression; but it.,
in any section, any party gains and keeps
CONTROL not by numbers, not by honesty
and law, and then, sitting free discussion
and action, attempt to grasp the Govern
ment of the whole country, the proceeding
is sectional, guilty and monstrous.
And in face of this statement, Mr.. Conk-
ling had never word to utter against the
action of his party that stole the presi-
dency In 1876. His party has gained and
kept control of the government, "not by
numbers, not by honesty and law" but by
fraud, perjury and bribery. Hence the
proceeding is sectional, guilty and mon
strous.n
