If this county last week, the court sus.
aimed the receiver.
Ofsixteen carloads Of live stock TINT ar
rived in Hagerstown over the S. V. r. r
last week, fourteen ofthem were sent to
Baltimore over the W. NJ r. r, and two
over the G. V. r. r. to Philadelphia.
Weddings have not been numerous OF
late. Can it be that the continued warm
weather exerts deterrent effect ? In our
opinion the cause of the dizziness in this
line, If sought, may be found on Church
St.
Rev. W. c. Wire, clerical and DR.. VIM.

Boys. if you must break something,

VIM. Wllcoxon, secretary. After some
routine business, the committee adjourned

On Saturday last we noticed two lierdic
coaches on the streets in Frederick and in
every instance we can recall that we saw
them, they contained passengers, from one
to four. We learn that the venture has
been financially, a success. The fare Is
five cents
The thermometer surged up and down
remarkably list week. Oh Monday 1t was
at 80, during "Wednesday night it fell to
50, rs ice formed in a number of places
and ON Friday it reached 80. The two
changes amounted to 100 degrees within
four days.
The attention Of our voters is called to
the constitutional amendment as it appears
in another column under the head Of
Election Notice" While there can be
little doubt as to its adoption by every vo-
ter, it is none the less proper that all should
vote understand'ngly
A boy, fifteen years Of age hung himself
in Pcnns, lvania and correspondent OF
lhe Lillles,own Era says the Sunday school
did wrong to sing religious hymns at his
funeral As plentiful and cheap as is Sun
day school music, we are disposed to
charge that man with downright illibcral

Wild ducks, says the Hanover citizen,
are plentiful on the Susquchanna river.
We would suggest to or spor'smen, that
they add a duck shooting to the deer hunt
The Susquchanna Flats at Hare uc Grace
is good point, and if we only had the
leisure, We would almost think of going

'struck a bonanza" when it exchanged
Boonsboro for Hagcrslown. Last week il

in its management is sufficient guaranty
of its pcrmInency.
Our cannery has closed for the season
We have not been informed whether or
not the cans and boxes will be made here
during the winter and spring. Such at
first we understood to have been the inten
ton. 1t should be done, provided ofcourse
that they could he made as cheap here as
they can be bought.
Bogus Certificates

be made of wonderful foreign roots, barks,
&c, and puffed up by long bogus cerlfi
Gates of pretended miraculous cures, but
Il simple, sure, effective medicine, made of
well known valuable remedies, that fur
nishes it's own certificates by it's cures.
We refer to Hop Bitlers, the purest and
best OF medicines. -Repu6licdn.
The attendance on the Baltimore Ori' lie
from this place was exceptionally large.
The fame of the Sesqui Centennial trav.
eled hence and many that missed that
spectacle, a,oned for it by seeing the Oriole

induced many to make tie trip who would
not otherwise have attended.
