SCR0P8s
The rain storm ragged more fariously
here Friday than in Randolph.
Randolph farmers have their wheat
mostly secured in their barns.
DIR. Carlton and Adam Hammer
were in town Saturday evening to hear
the Band concert.
The unintentional libelous insinua-
tons in the Rep. DEM, upon DR.. Carl
ton, of Randolph, by a correspondent
from that place, were manfully with
drawn and the Dr's. name and reputa-
ton restored, as per Rep. Dem. of last
week. 1t is no more than justice to
the DIR. that this be specially noticed,
for no man is willing to sacrifice his
good name for joke. Let cores
pondents learn a lesson from this ex-
ample. When they wish to crack
joke upon a friend hereafter in the coll
umns of newspaper, let them ask
themselves what will be the effect if
this go to print? and how would ap-
preciate the same if aimed at ME?
Hancock means PEACE AND GOOD
WILL TO ALL MEN, as a knowledge of
his character and record, both civil
and military, would indicate. He exc
cuted Mrs. Surratt, but he Obeyed the
orders of his Republican superiors !!
The Catholics of the country will not
be prejudiced by this purile bosh, es-
peeially when in the next breath they
see objections against Hancock for
President because his wife is reported
to be a Catholic. The Catholics have
their preference, the Republicans have
theirs. The Republicans chose a
Campbellite. The Catholics must vote
either for Hancock, none at all, or a
Csmpbellite. We suppose if the Cath
olics voted for the Campbellite the
monks and nuns wouldn't stand in the
way at oil, whatever the religious te-
nets of Mrs. Garfield might be. Not
any of these gentlemen is q Cath
Ollie, (the "none at all' included) and
our Republican friends know full well
that if General Hancock be elected
President of the United States the
General will run things at the White
| House, aud not Mrs. Hancock. In
that respect there will be decided
change from the Hayes incumbency'
Hancock's hands are not stained with
public plunder and robbery, and nc
reasonable person will be distracted by
any, such flimsy side issues, while all
apologies by the Republican press fol
Garfield will avail nothing in his be-
half. Nv

SINNERS Gap.

The Democratic County Ticket
nominated in Martinsburg on last
Saturday, gives general satisfac-
tion here, and Is considered to be
O strong party of nominations.
We record with sadness the
death of Cromwell Myers, Esq,
who was inferred in Mt. Zion
Churchyard on last Saturday. Mr..
M. was formerly a resident OF this
place, but lately removed to JEFF
ferson County,near Shepherd,own.
A party of excursionists went to
Pine Grove from this place Boss
Naylor, one of the party gave a
fine description of the Park, and
surrounding country.
The special election held here
on Monday for town Sergeant and
street Supervisor, RI suited in the
election of James Robinson, for
the former and p. /, Mussetter for
the latter. Under Democratic rule
SINNERS Gap Is Furnishing.
Some of the parties who went to
the Jones Spring picnic recently,
Boss Twitter, especially spent quite
a delightful time day If informed
correctly. Boss got q little too
much compressed air, whether be-
tween a buggy wheel or a.. instru-
ment for handling the yard stick
we are not informed, but think it
is the latter.
We;have applied to Congress to
change our name AID have receiv-
ed our paper 10 that effect. Here
after ii will be II. A. 3.
A young man of our town want
ed some benzine for domestic prr-
poses, asked friend TO get some
for him. He entered a drug store
in your city and asked for the ar
ticle he wanted, and was Informed
that they kept two kinds. viz:
whiskey benZine and oil benZine.
He then informed the druggist
that he was a member of the / o..
G. r. and didn't want any whis-
key benzine in his, nothing but
the pure oil benzine would do,
and joyful was the time he had.

Gods noblest work. Few men
have passed through such an or

Dir. Coup and Manager r. ID.
Colvin Immediately ordered ev-
erything that could posi- bly, be
done to alleviate his sufferings.
He was Immediately removed to
the Hart Hotel, where Drs. Holli-
day and Williams were untiring
in their attention. They express
belief that no serious conse-
quences will occur. We can safely
say that Herr Drayton will never
forget his last appearance with
hyenas, and the escape from a
death that is to terrible to contem-
plate. The animal was viewed
with great curioulty by the thous-
ands who visited both afte rnoon
and evening entertainments

Indications of the approach of
autumn are numerous.
Every cool night in August
strengthens the beliefin Mr.. Ven
ner's ability to forecast the wealth

Mr.. Charles G. Hopkins and
Miss Ida Simpson were united in
marriage last week, and we here
with extend our congratulations
to the happy couple. The even
ing after the wedding the boys of
the vicinity gathered to give the
newly welded pair free sere-
made, but Capt. Ebenezer only
mustered a force of five men, all
told, who made the evening air
vocal for a while with their dis
cordant notes, for which they re-
ceived the thanks of the bridal
party, and treat from the hands
of the BRIDES parents.
Some of the young men of this
vicinity showed bad taste by get
ting into a difficulty at the Gano-
town Church just after the close of
services last Sabbath afternoon.
The political situation is still
improving, and there are lots of
candidates in the field already.
AT this time there are twenty-one
regular candidates for Office in the
field in Gerardstown district, and
! two conventions to hear from yet,
which may increase the number
to twenty-five.
The Greenbackers have selected
Mr.. Adam Kettering for Magis-
trate, aud Mr.. Stephen Hutzler
for Constable, in Qerardstown
District for the West side Of the
mountain.
The Republicans did not make
any nominations for district Off

crop is very good.
The farmers are busy ploughing
for wheat, and the ground breaks
up in splendid order.

Thos. 0. Grouse, and others, Ev-
erybody is most cordially invited
to attend. The Cornet Band from
Shanghai will be in attendance.
The political boom has at last
reached this place, and politics
are getting pretty lively, and the
old time honored Democratic
party had better steer straight or
she may get swamped. But with
such men as Robert Lamon for
sheriff, and j. Howard Gettinger
for president OF the County Court,
at the head, she will then come
out victorious.

ssTGId YOu So,

AGAIN VERIFIED IN THE HAPPY
CONDITION OF AFFAIRS ON THE
BALTIMORE AND OHIO.
The change in policy on the Balti.
more and Ohio road has been attend
ed by results which cannot but tend
to still greater progressing. The in
auguration of the fast train contest
was grand move, as it proved the
old road, model fast line of the coun-
try. Rival lines attempted for a
time to compete but some how or
other one after another fell back in
their old ruts and Baltimore and
Ohio Still flies the proud banner,
t'Sever Hours Ahead" The in
crease of it's passenger traffic has
been great, it not being by any
means an uncommon thing to run its
regular train in two sections. Ex-
ira sleepers have been added, and,
where once dining halls were scant
of consumers and provender alike,
there are now numerous partakers,
and plenty as once delicious and
soul satisfying more marked than in
all branches OF passenger accommo-
dation. Very many new coache shave
been added TO the equipment, bright
and luxuriously appointed vehicles
of rail travelling, the satisfaction
they produce is worth millions to the
company. Ton upon ton of steel
rail has been laid and this good work
still goes bravely On though it take
all summer and into the fall. There
is no room for improvement in the
motive power of the road, the BalEf-
more and Ohio having for years been
noted as building and running the
finest locomotives in the world. Not
long since an engine on the Chicago
Division ran SO miles in 9S minutes
and this too without any special
preparation. The monster new trans.
fer boat taking the New York trains
of the Baltimore and Ohio across the
bay at Baltimore has proved most
unequiv0caI success, doing away as
1t does with the old transfer through
the streets, or by tunnel under the
city.

The philosorhIc German who,
when his wife presented him with
the third pair of twins, said:
"Mein Gott, Katarina, you stop
this nonsense before there is as
many as a whole village fall"

part in man down in New Orr
leans, who, when his wife gave
birth to triplets, rushed to the
river and jumped in 10 drown
himself. The case of this unhap.
Ply individual was truly distress
ing. He was not overwhelmed
with the consciousness that there
would be three more mouths for
him to fill, but that his own bread
and butter would be curtailed, his
wife having hitherto provided for
his wants by taking in washing.
