old friend Mr.. Thomas Mittag, former
ly one of the editors and proprietors OF
the Hagerstown Torch Light, for 40
years, on Monday last. Although 6S
years of age he is as active and vigor-
Gus as when a young man, and although
he is opposed to the third term" we
believe he is looking out for young
wife, but don't you tell him We said 80.
D| While in Philadelphia last week
we dropped in the extensive Hat estab-
lishment OF Eli Keen S Sons, 62 North
Second Street, in which establishment
our friend and former county-man Har-
ry C. Nicely is connected. Harry has
our unfeigned thanks for bran-splinter
new Hat presentedus. He was looking
exceedingly we'll and as happy as big
whale among little fish. When the
merchants of our valley visit that city to
purchase their goods they should not
fail TO call and see Harry, and then pur-
chase their Hats of this firm, for we
know they can be accommodated in
goods as we'll as in low prices.
pI Mr.. X. A. Robinson, of Louis
vile, Ky, wife, and youngest son aged
about lG years, visited our town last
week, en- route for Lexington, Va, TO
attend the wedding OF one of his sons
to Miss Johnson of Lexington. Mr.
Robinson left this town upwards OF 40
years ago, for Louisville, and is now ra-
ted among the wealthiest citizens OF
Kentucky. He visited our office while
here aud paid high tribute tothe Reg
lister, being an old and prompt paying
subscriber. We regret we were absent
at Philadelphia when he visited our
sanctum.
rSThe September term of the Coun-
ty Court of Jefferson began on Monday
of last week, and was concluded on Fri
day of last week, President Baylor and
Justices Rightstine and Burnett on the
bench. Capt john Avis was appointed
Justice, vice Justice Geo. Ii. Flagg

so passed
"Ffty years havlrg this day el'psed since

officially connected herewith. during all of
which period Except the seven cars of popu-
lar Acknowledgement after the late war he has
as Deputy Clerk ard Clerk faithfully, ebicienlly

ity and capacity of its venerable Clerk"
s9- Hon. Charles Davies Of lIarpers
Ferry, is canvassing the State in the IN
terest of the Republican party. He
spoke at Clarkesburg on the 25th, Graf,
ton on the 9th, Cameron the goth,
Wheeling the 3O;h, Newburg Oct. LIST,
Keyser Oct. 2nd, and will speak at
Piedmont on Monday next.
I@' Of the Great London Circus,
which is TO exhibit in Martinsburg
Tuesday Oct, ~, our exchanges with
out single exception speak in the
heartiest terms, proclaiming the fact
broadly that no entertainment OF such
colossal proportions has ever been per-
tected before. The twenty massive
golden chariots used in procession
countless display of richly ornsmented
animal dens-herd of fifteen Elephants
and fourteen Camels-canvass lighted
throughout by electricity, and a long
list of circus champions from the first
Amphilheatres of the Old and New
Worlds form all irresistible amplitude
Of wonderful attractions. Certainly
the London show can have no parallel
save itself.
The above will exhibit at Hagers-
town en- the 18Th.
