The JUpGEsnIr.-It seems, from the
answers to our inquiry Of several weeks
ago about the judgeship that there has
already some thought been bestowed
upon who are likely to become candi-
dates TOR that distinguished Office.
The Martinsburg &aiesn'an is right.
1--WE have excellent timber and plenty
of it" We might rame many in old
Jefferson, whose peoples voice will be
heard when the time comes, aud con-
spicuous among them are the Hon.
VIM. II. Travers and Hon. James II.
Grove. As Judge Hoge is already
drifting from the minds Of the people
in connection with that office, it being
rumored that his name will certainly be-
presented TO the Second District for
Congress, he is eliminated from the
judicial race, and we may begin to look
around for some one else TO wear tho
ormine. Upon whom it shall fall lies
beyond the present. Is it not time for
seeing about a judicial convention!-

n9- The Joint Rule Resolution for
the government of the Electoral Count,
which provides that both Houses OF
Congrsss--and not the President OF the
Senate-shall have the power Of decld-
ing upon the validity Of votes, was
passed after great deal OF discussion in
the Senate. Several amendments made
by Republicans were rejected by strict
party vote and the final vote was forced
by the persistency, mainly, Of Senator
Thurman. 1t will now go to the House,
where it will be sent through with q
rush, and without amendment. This
effectually forestalls any Vaccinations
the Republicans may have had in re-
serve in case OF defeat at the polls, and
it insures tho people fair count of the
Presidential votes.

p@ BoYs, THINK The boy who
spends an hour each evening Longing
idly at the street corner, wastes in the
course of year three hundred and six
ty-fve precious hours, which if applied
to study; would iamiliarize him with
the rudiments of almost any Of the use
full sciences.
If, in addition to wasting an hour each
evening, he spends three pence tor q
cigar, which is usually the case, the q,
mount thus worse than wasted would
pay for several Of the leading perlodl-
Gals.
BOYS, think of these things. Think
of how much time and money you are
wasting, and for what
You acquire idle and wasteful habits,
which will cling to you. Be warned in
time, and resolve that as the hour spent
in idleness is gone for ever, you within
prove each passing one, and thereby mt
Yourselves for useful and happy lives.

HG TIE HARpER's FERRY GOVERN
MENr PROPERTY NOT SODA cores
pendent from lIarpers Ferry, wrote
to the Bait. San, on Tuesday last, as
follows:-
The advertised sale Of the valuable gov
crnment property ut this place to-day
drew together but small number OF
persons. The only government repre-
sentativcs present were *. Rayner, solic-
itor of the treasury, and his chief clerk,
Webster Elms.
w. +. Anderson, auctioneer, ut !
o'clock L. NJ. offered lot No. |, compris-
ing the water-pOver entire Of the Poto-
mac river as held by the United States,
embracing the site of the old armory
buildings or muskct factory, and all that
strip of land and bluff bordering on the
Potomac river, the half-completed dam,
canal, locks, fumes, three turbine and
four cast-iron wa ter-wheels, with gear
ing, shafts, &C., altogether comprising
one of the best water-pOwerS in the
country. The first and only bid was
$4,000.
Solicitor Rayner then stated that, al
though the act of Congress imposed no
limit, he could not think of making sale
of so valuable property at so great sac
ritice without consulting secretary Sher-
man, and would, therefore, for the pres
ent withdraw it.
The water power on the Shenandoah
river, embracing the site of the rifle fac
tory, was not offered. The perpetual
right to cut and remove wood from tract
of l ,395 acres Of mountain land on the
south side of the Shenandoah river, oppo-
site of the Shenandoah river, opposite
the town, was sold for $500. Four i'm
proved lots were sold at prices ranging
from $3.50 to $3.50.
But small portion of the vacant lots
included in the catalogue were sold, and
they at prices ranging from So to $50, ac-
cording TO locality. Had the water pow
CIR property been disposed of to response
bic parties these lots would have sold at
greatly enhanced prices.

THRILLING Scene IN A TmEarRE-A
terrible scene took place in the Teatro
del Circo, at Madrid few days ago.
During the performance a mailman fore
ed his way into the house, armed with
a Ratchet, and contrived to climb from
the auditorium upon the stage, where,
branishing his weapon furiously, he an
nounced himself to the terrified audi
ence as 'the Avenger of Mankind" Up
on one of the attendants approaching
him with the Object of persuading him
to withdraw from the stage, he smote
the unfortunate man to the earth with
one deadly blow; and he managed TO
keep the police off, when they attempted
TO arrest him, by whirling his Ratchet
round his head with such force and
swiftness that none of the agents Of au
thority dared to rush in upon him. Pres
emily, however, party Of soldiers made
its appearance in the theatre, under the
command of an officer, who summoned
the raging maniac to give up his weap-
on and surrender himself, but in vain;
whereupon the detachment received or
ders 10 fire at him with blank cartridge
in the hope Of frightening him into sub
mission. All this while he was yelling
at the top Of his voice, four;shing bis
Ratchet, and threatening to kill nybody
who should approach him. Recogniz-
ing the impossibilily Of overpowering
him without riskiDg the soldiers lives,
the officer in command gave the order
TO load with ball and FIRE upon him. A
minute later the wretched man lay q
corpse upon the stage, three bullets
having passed through his head, and
this highly sensational dramatic episode
having been thus brought to q close
the audience returned TO their places,
from which they had fed in terror when
the mailman made bis first and last sp-
pearance upon the stage, and the eve
niEgs performances were resumed at
the point at which they had been inter
rupted by "Mankiud's AyeDger. LON
don Telegraph.
