A Locust Prediction.

A Washington dispatch credits Prof,
Riley, the cntomologst, with saying
that the seyentccn-ycar locn'ts Will
abound in several portions Of the West,
There are two broods Of these periodical
locusts, one appearing once in seventeen
years, and the other once IN thirteen.
Both broods will appear this year, bat
not in the same localities. The Protcs-
scr says that the thirteen year brood
will probably be seen in Southern lIll-
noi., in all Of Missouri except the north
west corner, in Louisiana, Arkansas,
Indian Territory, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North
Carolina and South Carolina. The two
kinds Of locusts differ very little in APP
pcarancc They appear little earlier
in the South than in the North, and the
last half Of May can he set down as the
period for them to make their appear

EGDn BIGGEST Lor OF SHINGLES ON
RECORD IN TIE CoUNTY.-Our old and
esteemed friend Mr.. Geo. Licklider,
who resides couple miles below town,
called in to see us on Tuesday afternoon
last for little social chat, and while
here he informed us that Mr.. a. Mad
dox, the "boss" single maker of the
county had cut ar oak tree upon his
(Mr. L's) farm, from which he made
three thousand three hundred and fifty
excellent shingles, and it wasn't very
good time for shingles either. Now if
any person can produce tree that will
make more shingles than this one they
will please let us hear from him. And
Mr.. Licklider says lie has moro "sap-
lings" of the same sort.

paT DEATH OF A PROMINENT MAN

El" DEATH OF A Prominent MAN.
1t is with deep regret that we record
the demise OF one of the most prominent
citizens of Berkeley county, good man,
and personally one of our most stead
fast friends, Mr.. John =. keartoot,
aged about &c years, of paralysis, on
Sunday afternoon last, the 10Th Instant.
We learn that on Sunday last he was in
his usual health and partook Of a hearty
dinner, at his residence near Martins
burg. In the afternoon he and his son
John =. Kearioot, Jr., who resides near
KearneysviIle, who paid his father
visit on that day, took walk in the
garden, and while there Mr.. X. fell.
lie was carried 10 the house and ex-
PRED in half hour afterwards. He
was an honest, upright and prominent
man, having filed many of the offices
of trust in Berkeley county, having the
confidence of the entire people where
ever known. lie also filled the Office
of Surveyor of Berkeley county for
many years, and had become familiar
with almost every foot of ground IN
that county. He was a kind and atfec
tomato husband and father, ard highly
esteemed by all who knew him. His
remains were inferred at the Cemetery
at Mar;insburg on Monday afternoon
amidst large concourse OF so:rowing
relatives aud friends. Peace TO his dust

re- ADVICE TO THE FAIR SEX.-Why are
girls so injudicious in their liberation of
dissipated young men? IL is very often
the case that thoroughly good girl will
deliberately marry Il man who makes no
secret of his bad habits. What cali she
expect but misery TO ensue: \ life part
nership should not be entered into with
out at least rs much caution as men dis
play in making business combinations for
limited periods. No man selects his busl-
ness partner from among men who drink
much liquor or have other bad habits. As
for mere manners and the ability to make
ones self agreeable, they have not them
selves influence enough among men to
secure a dollars worth of credit or TO jus
tiry any one in believing their poSsessor
OIL oath. \ girl who is not old enough TO
have learned what are the standards by
which men are tested, would be far surer
of happy life if she were to let her par
ents select husband in The prosiest mail
her imaginable, than if she were 10 make
her own selections in manner peculiar
to girls. A life partnership is not easily
dissolved,

TEE RAILROAD SEEOFs.

Our esteemed friend of the Free
Press says in his last issue that ola
gerstown is going to make an effort TO
obtain the shops of the 5. V. X. K,
but that "IIagerstown has no claim
upon the company--never having con,
tributed dollar, by subscription or 9th
erwise TO the road.
This is perfectly true. llagerstown
has no claim Oh the company for lis
shops, neither has Charlestown; for, by
parity of reasoning, it occupies Sim
liar position-"nevor having contrlbu-
ted dollar by subscription or other
wise to the road" and the same may be
said of every other town on the entire
line, with the single exception of Shep-
herdstown, which, not only made lib
eral and timely donation to the road
but which likewise possesses more physi-
cal advantages for the location OF the
shops, than any other point along the
route between Harrisburg and Big
Lick.
