The last week or so around this
village has been very quiet, con-
siderlng there has been so much
excitement everywhere else over
the late elections. The Democrats
take IL very cool, 40 doubt from
the change Of the atmosphere, and
our Republican friends take it
well most anyway they can get it,.
Our farmers are busy shocking
and garnering their corn.
1t is with pleasure We learn of
the re.appOintmeut Of that genial
and accommodating gentleman,
MIR Joseph Barry, as storekeeper
aud gauger and at the Willow
Grove di5tiliery
We learn that Mr.. Edwin
Glover, the boss blacksmith in
this neighbOrhood, was severely
kicked by a colt a few days ago.
He is getting along very well I'M
der the circum stances, but says he
would rather have been kicked by
a "wooly elephant"
We learn that quite an extensive
enterprise, in the way of krout
and catsup manuiactury has been
i'm iull operation for some time
past by one of our enlerprising
citizens.
Our enterprising farmer friend,
Lieut.. r.. II. B0rum, residing on

One day last week Mr.. Jacob
Weist while hauling fodderfell from
the top OF the load on the wagon and
was slightly hurt.
Several of our Good Templar
friends accepted an invitation from
Darkesville Lodge on Saturday night
to partake of refreshments. They
enjoyed themselves amazingly, but
not with refreshments. In the alb
sence of cakes, candies and lemon
AIDE they enjoyed themselves with
good company. Boys, next time eat
your dinners before you go.
Grand preparations will soon be
made to hold an exhibition at the
new M. T.. church South, on Christ
mas and New Years night. AS the
best talent has been secured the pub
lie may expect a good time. The
proceeds to go towards the liquida-
ton of debt on the church.
Miss Maize T.. Campbell was taken
away from this place by Mr. Edward
Henshaw, of Mill Creek. The Rev.
w. Z. Campbell, brother Of the
bride, performed the ceremony and
made them one, at the Presbyterian
church on Wednesday morning last.
Rumor has it that we are have an
other store in this village.

that comes with the session. Rooms
of all sorts, desirable and undesira-
BILE, rent for at least one-third more
than twelve months ago-at least
they are expected to rent SO much
higher. 1t used to be that the Con-
gresham was considered the star
lodger, and persons having quarters
to let held back until the advent of
Senators and Members. Now, al
most without exception, all the rich
Senators and Members not of pen
urious disposition have their own
houses, and the average Senator or
Member who goes around hunting
for lodgings will stick for the last
farthing They have thus come to
be regarded as rather undesirable
tenants, and persons with rooms for
rent no longer think of holding back
until Congress comes. SO many
people of means and leisure come
here now for the winter that land
lords are comparatively independent
Of members of Congress.
Some of the correspondents repre-
sent Postmaster General Howe as
being engaged in devising means to
reduce the revenues of his depart
ment, which has suddenly become
not only self-suppofting but actually
a source of profit to the Government.
One of Mr.. Howe's suggestions is
said to be a gratuitous envelope
scheme; that is, to sell stamped en-
velopes for the price Of the stamp,
the envelope being thrown in. But
it does not seem necessary for the Z.
M. G.. to get excited over the fact
that his department is self sustain
ing, 1t should have been so for
many years past, and would if it had
been properly managed, and if star
route frauds, straw bids, and other
swindles had not been tolerated and
encouraged. There is, however, no
reason for being previous" about
plans for reducing the net revenues.
The present three cent letter rate is
as low as anybody can desire, much
lower considering the average dis
tances that mails are carried in the
United States than is the two cent
postage Of Great Britain. Just think
Of the early days when postage was
twenty-five cents, or more, and the
total expense for writing a letter to
your girl about a dollar, more or less.
Sweet-hearts were dear creatures in
those days. Dom PEDRO.

Der of the town council Of Berke-
ley Springs. The present council
is receiving lots Of cursing and we
learn some of the members are in
danger of losing their lives, just
because they are eudeavoring to
perform their sworn duties.
On Thursday morning a young
man passed through this place GO
ing in the direction of Martins
burg and had with him two horses
IA bay and roam. Soon after he
left town a telephone message was
received from Mr.. $. Summers at
Sir Johns Run asking that the
man and horses be stopped. Con-
stable Cross at once got out his
horse and started in pursuit and
overlook the man and horses at
Ridersville and brought them
back TO town. After a hearing
before Squire Blakeley the man
was put to Jail to await further
hearing. He gave his name as
John Cation and said he resided at
Shepherdstown, w. Va. 1t seems
that the horses were the property
of Mr. Oliver Sherman.a boatman
who was drowned in the canal
near Dam No. on Wednesday,
and his property was taken in
charge by Squire Summers until
called for by the proper parties,
and on Thursday morning this
man Cation came along ami COB
bled up the stock without asking
leave or license OF any one and so
has got himself into trouble. He
also had taken two mules at the
same time but as they travelled
too slow he was compelled to leave
them on the road between this
place and Sir Johns Run. His
only excuse for taking the stock
was that one Of the horses belong
ed to him.

An Incident Of the War.

Artemus Ward said he would Glove to
die for his country, but if it was MI the
same 10 tho country, he would ra,hc die
Of old age.
An amusing anecdote which shows
that Artemus' philosophy is widely enter
tanned, is told by writer in the Phila-
delphia Times. 1t was told by one Of
our boys who was present at the battle of
Murfrecsboro, Tenn.
When the lines of both armies wore
advancing to a charge, n rabbit, or moro
properly hare, was aroused from his
private scclusion Immediately in front Of
the Confederate line, and went bounding
away to the security Of the hills, making
at each jump a large exhibit of white
bunting.
In the line there was great raw -boned
North Georgian who was celebrated for
his indOmitable courage and reckless
bravery.
He had the reputation of being will
ing to fight anything, and was supposed
not to know the meaning of fear, but his
apostrophe to the vanishing rabbit not
only put tho matter in different light,
but caused a burst Of laughter from ali
who heard it. He said:

you've chance. I'd run, too, if 1
didn't have any more reputation ut stake
than you've got p
The poor fellow never returned from
the charge. He had lost his chance of
running.

Religion at Home.

IF n man wants to know what he is, lie
can find it ont pretty well by watching
himself for few days when he is nt
home. fie cannot judge himself at all
by what he shows himself to the wnrlI.
lie cannot guess how far he is kind and
thoughtful and courteous by what his
companions in pleasure or his business
acQuaintances find him These people
have him more or less in their power, and
%lll avoid him or make his life very un.
comfortable if he il coarse and i'll man
nercd. lie must, for his own sake be on
his good behavior when he goes from un-
der his own roof When he comes home,
then he is tested How does he look and
speak aud act with those who are in his
power, whose love he takes for granted,
with whose patience he can take liber-
ties, who dare not re;aliatc, who can not
leave him? What is his manner with
his parents, his wife, his brothers and
his children? Do they find him what he
likes to be thought by those outside,
whose good will aud gnrd words he wants
to win or keep?
Charity begins al home. 1t ought to
do 90. The rrac.iccr OF tho snnl! courte-
sizes of life is q part of charity, without
which no man, whatever his wealth or
rank, has right to the name of Christian
or gentleman. That which is all spent
out of doors. and on the members of 9TH
er mems families, is n worthless fraud.
If man cannot be kind and we'll mar
nered he is to be pitied; but if he can,
surely those who bear his name and
share his homo have the strongest and
first claim. He would not allow any one
else to be rude to his mother or 81 ter
what right has he to be 80 himself? lie
ought TO be as thoughtful and polite to

bor's wife.
People who only meet men from home
would often wonder could they zee them
at home. Many girl would be saved
from sad marriage could she zee the
man who wants to win her when he goes
back to his mother and sister. She would
know the value of the refined manner
and thoughtful gcntlcncss that mask the
vulgarity of bully and coward. She
would understand what she might expect
when he had grown accustomed to her rs
his drudge and slave, on whom his ill
temper might he safely let loose and who
might be set to any work he pleased with
out any ceremony or any thanks.

HUMAN KEDEMIIIONs
SERMON BY THE REV. MR.. WARD, OF FoUN-
DRY CHURCH.


Nearly every seat in the auditorium of
Foundry Church was filed yesterday. The
near approach of the convention of Congress
was attested by the presence of several men,
bers, accustomed to worship in this sanctuary
when in the Capital, whose faces have not
been seen in the congregation since the close
of the last session. 1t being communion
Sunday" the Rev. Mr.. w, F, Ward, the pastor
of the church, preached a sermon appropriate
to the occasion, taking his text from Collos-
slams, i, Ia. "In whom we have redemption
through his blood, even the forgiveness of
SINS" OF the many books written and circu-
lated among men, said the preacher, the Cos
pei alone publishes to the world the doctrine
of human redemption, This is its distinctive
feature and crowning glory. While the preva-
lence and baneful character of sin is recog-
nized in other systems of religion, and by all
men in all times, revelation OF its antidote is
found in no other place than the Gospel. What
the world by its wisdom failed to discover, God
has been pleased to reveal to us in the Gospel.
Two aspects of this subject of human redemp-
tion is pres ted in the text; First, its method;
and second q result-its method, the blood
of Jesus and its result, the forgiveness OF sin.
The method does not consist in the simple
publication of the truth or exempliheatlon OF
patience, but in the blood of Christ. The key
note of the Gospel is salvation through the
blood of Jesus. II is intimated in the Levitical
law in the prohibition of the eating of blood,
for the reason that sit is the blood that
malzeth an atonement for the soul;" II is pre-
figured by the types and sacrifices of the old
dispensation; fOretold by prophecy, as may
be seen by the flfty-third chapter of Isaiah
clearly and frequently asserted by Christ
and his Apostles; and recognized in Heaven,
as attested by the revelation of St. John tho
| Divine. We find then that human redemp-
| ton is accomplished only by price of blood.
| The price paid by Jesus for our redemption
was very costly, To Christ, rs man. life
was just as precious and death just at rcpug.
nant as to any man; yet though clinging t
life and recoiling at death, to accomplish
mans redemption he ended his life in the
most agonizing form, even by death on the
4 cross, From this we may learn the
