BAD Notwithstanding in front
of church door, either before or after
service, is a practice that ought to be
done away with. 1t is especially an
noying to ladies to be stared at by
those who establish themselves in a
prominent position and then cape al
the ladies who may be entering or
leaving church. We hope the prac-
tice will be broken up in Stephens
City.

The Valley Brass Band was on our
streets on Saturday night last, and
treated our citizens to some Of their
soul-stirring music 1t is pity that
they do not oftener give our citizens
the pleasure of listening to some Of
their favorite airs.
See Steele & Brothers fertilizer ad-
vertisements. Since the whole world

Our friend Mayer Steele has our
thanks for a specimen of blackberry
jelly which they have recently made
at his residence. The ladies who grace
our table pronounce it Gust too deli
cious for anything by which we
presume they mean it is excellent.
The business outlook in Stephens
City for the coming fall appears to be
Frightening up, and as our mechanics
and laborers in general have been
busy during the spring and thus far in
the summer months, they will have
the necessary means to supply them
selves with such articles as they may
need for the changing season.
J. L. Vandiver, our veterinary sur
geon, has Just returned from a tour
through Clarke county, and informs us
that the disease known as pink-eye is
raging to an alarming extent among
the horses in that section. He says
he treated three cases in one day, and
found one gentleman who had seven
horses suffering from this disease.
The attention of the reader is call
ed to the card of Allan B. Magruder,
Esq, which appears in this issue
This gentleman has long been known
to our people as one of the most able
and successful lawyers in the Valley,
and those who entrust their business
to his skill and care cannot but be
satisfied with the result.
G. w. Peery & Co., of Middletown,
have new advertisement in this issue.
The head of this firm has been en-
gagged in business in his present loca
tion for the past ten or twelve years
and by unremitting attention and fair
and honorable dealing with all he has
built up trade second to none in this
region. That their various brands of
fertilizers are just what they represent
them to be many farmers in Frederick
and counties adjoining are prepared
to corroborate. They are making ar
rangements for keeping on hand large
quantities of these articles, and our
farmers will find it to their interest to
give them a call.

STEPHENS CITY AS A SUMNER RE
soRT.-Persons closely confined to bus
mess in the cities should by all means
allow themselves sometime for recrea-
ton during the summer. If such per-
sons feel unwilling to go to places that
are expensive because they are fash
ionable, let them at least go some
where in the country where the fresh
ness of air and the beauty of nature
will recruit the waste which close at
tention must work in the constitution.
Stephens City offers just such induce
ments to city people during the heat
and glow of the summer months, when
life in the crowded and sitting city is
rendered almost unbearable, with our
cheap boarding, pure, invigorating air,
unsurpassed water, beautiful and pic
turesque scenery, pleasant and attrac-
tive drives, and good society.

A CASE THAT PUZZLED THE WHOLE
FAoULTY.-Mrs. Milo Ingram gave
the names of some of the most repu-
table physicians in the two cities AL
legheny and Pittsburgh to whom she
had paid large sums of money for
treatment, butshe rapidly grew worse.
She was then taken to the most repu-
table physicians and surgeons in New
York, but with no better success
They had all pronounced it cancer,
and declared she must die. The flesh
of her breast was eaten away down to
the ribs; the breast bone was laid
bare, and the disease made its way
upwards, causing the breast to become
detached from the wall of the chest,
hanging loose from above. See page
25 of DR.. Hartman's ellis of Life, y
how Per1na cured her. They are
given away by druggists-gratis.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
mrs. sason and The aormen Cnureh.

mrs. saxoa and the aormen Church,
The Er.ai,h.s Lsdeer OF December Slst con-
tains an article that begins: "When such a
worthy and distinguished lady as Mrs. L. L.
Saxon. OF New Orleans, gives way TO her
sympaihies and emotions so far as to come
out in favor OF the Mormon Church and po-
lygamy, it does more to convince the world
that female suffrage ia a fAllacy than all the
arguments OF a dosen masculine minds.
This .s what Mrs. Saxon has DONE" As
Mrs. Ssxon's friend / say the charge is false.
Mrs. Saxon has written three letters from
Salt Lake, and while she has done what she
was requested to do-"lell the truth"-she
also adds in her last letteF, ptblIshed IN the
New Orleans Times, of December 9th: q am
here 10 See; study, and az far as / can, report
fairly for all parties: and because / do this
is no reason that should be declared as de-
Tending their institutions" The Ledger ar
ticle does Mrs. Saxon great injustice, and
says sne has gone crazy on q
hobby" "She would favor the Turkish
barem systst1,' aud Upset all society, and
with il every bearthstone in the land pnd
other thlDgs that are unjust and uucailed
for. There - no woman more anxious TO do
good than i Mrs. Saxon, or one that is more
truthful. OF course il is TO be expected that
a woman who has taken the stand that she
has regarding "Woman's suffrage" and all
other reforms will be subject &c criticism,
aud severe criticism, too; but 'justice is
justice" and should be given, though the
heavens falI," and il would be well, think,
for the editor of the Ledger to read Mrs.
Ssxon's other letters before he comes out and
acf uses her publicly of a thing which those
who know her best know 10 be utterly false.

Ineidents I'm HIS Busy Caresr-His Con-
nectfOa with the Emma Nine.

New York, December 22-Ihe remains
OF Trenor w. Park, president OF the Panama
Railroad Company, who died on the morn
ing OF the 13 instant, on board the steamer
bound for Panama, as hitherto announced in
these dispatches, will be brought back to this
city for interment on the return of the vessel.
His friends and children were wholly uupre-
pared for the announcement of his death, i,
rnasmuch IS Mr.. Park, although not in vig-
orous health for the last few months, was not
thought 10 be seriously i'll. Mr.. PARK was .
native OF Bennington, VT, and fifty niue
years old. About twenty-five years ago he
joined Russell Sage in buving up the first
mortgage bonds of the Western Vermont
railroad, afterward purchasing Mr.. Sages
interest. He was also one Of the projectors
of The notorious E Dma mine, and was the
| chief instrument in the carrying out of the
project by which the mine was sold TO English
stockholders. 1t is one OF lhe episodes OF Mr..
Parks busy life that he look exception 10 an
article which appeared in the Tribune at lbe
time of the scandal created by Gen. Schenck's
connection with that enterprise, and sued the
Tribune Association for libel Argumenis
were had on the pleadipgs in the United
States Circuit Court, but before the case was
reached for trial Mr.. Park discontinued il
without costs. Mr.. Park kept his hoidings
OF Emma Mine ock, Effected settlements
with The English stockholders, and as late rs
last Thanksgiving day said to a friend tnst
he considered the mine worth twice az much
as he had sold it for in London.
Mr.. Park made fortune out OF the sales
of the Panama Railway Company to the De
Lesseps Canal Company last year. The
price agreed upon for The railroad slock was
| 5000, but this was exclusive of the cash SIS
sets in the company's hands, which amounted
to about $40 share more. Mr.. Park held
al the time nearly 1900 shares OF Panama
s.ock, for which he received from The ca.
nal company nearly 100000. He had
been connected with the company for ten or
twelve years, and at one time be WAS
obliged, it is said, TO sell some Of bis stock
TO relieve himself OF financial embsrrass-
ment. He afterward bought back the stock,
and when the control of the company was
sold to the canal company he Owned more
| Panama stock than ever before. he dleo
worth probably 81 100000. although some oil
ms intimate friends estimated his fortune
| considerably higher.
