Mrs. Samuel Mason, weIl-known
resident of Indian Spring District,
Washington county, Maryland;
committed suicide on Tuesday about
noon, by drowning herself in a cis-
tern. She was about 60 years old,
and leaves a husband and several
children to mourn her loss. She had
been suffering for some time from
mental depression, but her act was
a surprise to her family, as she had
given no indication of a purpose of
self-destruction.
The Hagerstown Globe says:
The grasshoppers that commenced
their depredations upon the young
clover-felds in the upper districts of
this county, have turned their atten-
tion to the wheat fields adjacent and
are playing sad havoc among that
cereal. Several instances are report
ed in which the entire crops planted
are given up as hopelessly lost. The
grasshopper that is doing all this
mischief is not OF the kind that has
troubled the agriculturalists of the
west. They creep, rather than hop,
and do not fly. Upon entering a
field there is not that commotion
that insects of their nature usually
create, but the process of destruction
continues. They exist in millions
and fattsn as they grow older.

Our Sanitary Condition.

Eds. Independent:
Residents of Strineville read with
great interest that part of our wor-
thy Mayor s report bearing upon the
sanitary condition Of Martinsburg.
We are glad to see him showing zeal
in the matter. God does not charge
us for pure air; it comes to us free,
and should be as pure and sweet as
the God from whom it eminates. It
is the poor mans heritage as well as
the rich mans pleasure, and neither
garlands of roses or blooming shrubs
can atone for the want of it. But
how are we, in Strineyille, to have
good health, when bright dewy
mornings, and the hours of the
scorching sun, and the evenings cool
shades are redolent alone of the reek-
ing lilth of the pig-styes at the dis
tillery, aud of the rottening nash
that sends out its odors, pollutiag
and rendering uncomfortable every
breath OF air that comes to the nos
trils of struggling men aad women,
sick or well Is the distillery great
er than the health OF the communi-
ty? Admit it is a paying, thrifty
enterprise, shall it be permitted to
be so conducted as TO convey collins
in the breeze, preceded by the imple-
ments of the grave.digger ? Let the
Mayor and the Council compel the
correction of this matter. The COM
plant is general. Every officer CT
the town is aware of the nuisance,
and their official oaths, when they
know this, to say nothing of their
regard for the health of their con-
stituents, should compel them to
take official and immediate action.
