TILL TAPPED. On Friday of last
week some sneak thief entered the
store of Mr.. George r. Hensel, ON
Martin Street, and robbed his mon
ey drawer of about $45. Mr.. Hen
sci has no idea as to how it was &C
complished. The thief must have
entered through the back door of the
store room, having watched his OPP
portunity while Mr., Hensel was out
on the front pavement, and passed
out the same way, after securing the
money. 1t was a pretty bold opera
ton, but that is the way thieves
generally act.

A STRANGE STORY.
Fiction Discounted by Truth

Lieut.. W. G. Mann, of this place,
who, it will be remembered, sudden
ly disappeared about three years ago,
and who was supposed to have been
murdered in the mountains near
Harper's Ferry, has returned home.
Last week his wife received tele-
gram from Lieut.. Mann's brother,i in
Bedford county, Pa, that he was
there, and she Immediately went on
to learn the facts. She returned
home Tuesday night accompanied
by her husband.
During the long absence of Mr..
Mann, no trace of him had been dis
covered, and it was generally sur
posed that he had been murdered.
His wife mourned him as dead.
Lieut.. Mann, at the time he LETT
was employed on the b. & o. r. r.,
as inspector of bridges. He was re-
ceiying good wages, and provided
we'll for his family,s to-. whom he
was always kind and considerable.
Previous to his mysterious disap-
pearance, he was last seen at Har-
per's Ferry, having arrived there ON
a train from up the Valley, where
he had been attending to his duties.
He had received his months pay,
and after the failure of all efforts to
find trace of him, it was concluded
that he had been m ordered and his
body hid in the mountains in the
neighborhood. And this belief was
strengthened by the fact that there
was no apparent motive for his 60
ing off. He was comfortably fixed
in his home, and was devotedly at
tached to his wife, and was uni
versal favorite in the community.
We learn that he has had an
eventful career during his long abb
sence. He went from Harper's Fer
ry to Baltimore and took passage on
vessel as ship carpenter. In that
capacity he made several trips across
the ocean, and visited several coun-
tries in Europe.
Last week he turned up in Ever
EFT, Pa, and was recognized by a
cousin of his residing in that place.
At first the Lieutenant denied his
identity; but his brother, Rev. j. B..
Mann, was sent for, and Immediate
ly recognized him, and telegraphed
for his wife, who as stated, went to
Everett, and her long lost husband
was restored to her, his home and
friends.
The remarkable part of the strange
story is, that Lieut.. Mann could
so successfully cover up all traces of
his where abouts for three years, and
that too when every effort was made
during the first six months, through
detective agencies, officers, etc., to
find some clue to the manner of his
disappearance.

MUSICAL TREAT. The musical
entertainment under the direction
of Prof. Charles Clary, of Baltimore,
came off on last Monday evening.
The Prof. was assisted by Miss Ida
Henry, Miss Lola Scheu and Miss
Bee Ahern, of this place, Miss Har-
desty, of Winchester and Miss Su-
sic Martynne, of Baltimore. The
concert opened with solo by Prof.
Clary aud Miss Ida Henry. The
Prof. delighted his audience by his
skill in the use of the violin, cornet
and guitar, causing all lovers of these
modes of music to listen with APP
probation to his musical treat.
Miss Ida Henry, presided at the
piano, and caused delicious strains
of sweet music, to soothe the ears of
the audience, and elected wonder
and admiration by her rendition of
"Home'' ileft handy. Miss Hardes-
ty, was greeted with delight at her
each appearance, and was recalled
each time. Miss Bee Ahern was
applauded loudly after singing the
two pieces, 81 Drempt 1 Dwell in
Marble Halls, y and ''Come Back to
Erin" Miss Lola Scheu, of this
place, and Miss Susie Martynne, of
Baltimore, accompanied by the Prof.
rendered a beautiful trio. The eve.
ming performance closed by the
touching song, 81 Stood on the
Bridge at Mid.Night,' by Miss Har.
desty, of Winchester.

SUDDEN DEATH.-We regret TO
record the death Of Andrew W. Nc
Cleary, Esq, one of the best known
and most highly respected citizens
of this county. He died at his resi-
dence, near Vanclevesville, Thurs
day night last. He was in Martins
burg on Thursday, apparently in
his usual health, attending to bust
ness. On his retu n home he was
taken suddenly i'll with pain in his
breast, and expired before a physi-
clan reached him.
Mr.. McCleary was a member of
the West Virginia Constitutional
Convention which framed the pres
ent constitution of the State. He
was, we believe, member of the
Virginia legislature before the war
was for time acting Judge of the
County Court of this county held
the position of magistrate for many
years, and during his lifetime filled
many important pnblic positions.
No man stood higher in the estima-
ton Of the people of the county. He
was in the S1st year of his age.
