SCRAPs.-There was a large audi
ence at the Opera House last night to
witness Scraps" land every one came
away with beaming countenancos and
with many words of praise to bestow
upon the play and players. A more
enjoyable piece has not been played
at the Opera House this season, if
ever in its existence. We do not deem
it necessary to go into an elaborate de-
scription of the play, nor into too
lengthy praise of the performers,
though the latter deserve all that was
bestowed upon them by the delighted
audience. Suffice it to say, "Scrapsn
is full of fun from the beginning to the
end, and there is not single word,
gesture or motion in it from the rising
of the curtain to the going down ofthe
same which could, by any possible
means, offend the sense of propriety of
the most intensely fastidious. We
say this advisedly and conscientious
ly, believing we are as capable of
Judging in such matters as if our head
quarters were in a ministerial study
instead of an editorial sanctum.-
" Scraps" with changes, will be rep
resented again tonight, and the Opera
House will doubtless be crowded to its
utmost capacity .-DanuQlef "a Daily

DIR. Wilbur, the celebrated special
list, has taken rooms at the Grand Gen.
trail for week already, and in to-day's
paper announces his intention Of re-
naming another week, owing to the
many cases he could not find time to
give hearing. He has had remarka-
BILE success, and that in cases of long
standing, and given up by the physi-
clans generally. His charges are
nothing until he effects relief, and in
incurable cases he kindly gives his
advice and exacts no fee. His lectures
at Feller's Hall were well attended,
and the audiences were quickly salts
fed that he possessed thorough
knowledge of the human system,
aided in his explanations by charts,
skeletons, &c. A marvel of surgical
skill was exhibited in the popularity
of thescotch terrier bull dog Dandy"
In operating for cancer of the stom-
ach, the DIR. had removed part of the
natural stomach, which was replaced
by q silver tube, corked. The dog
Tapped milk freely, and on removing
the cork, the fluid passed out the
tube. Successful operations of this
kind are only in one or two instances
known to medical science.

THE MARTINsBURG HERALD SATURDAY, FEBRUARY IS 1882

GANOToWN NEWs.-The Ganot0wn
correspondent of the Shepperdstown
Register writes as follows to that
paper:
The lumber business is the liveliest
trade in this vicinity now, there being
four steam saw mills near enough to
this place for us to hear the blowing
of their whistles. The latest arrival
of these mills is one recently purchas-
ed by Messrs. Parson & Lamp, and
which is located about a mile north
west of Ganotown. It is driven by
an engine of fifteen horsepower.
The citizens of Berkeley County
now have to pay for the privilege Of
keeping dogs and the Assessor upon
his recent trip inquired very closely
into the matter of keeping CANNES
about the premises. With a limited
number of dogs, sheep raising may be
increased a hundred fold in this county.
This part of Berkeley has large
amount of undeveloped mineral
wealth, which only needs opening up
to make Back Greek Valley as pros
porous as the rich farming region
along the Tuscarora or any other sec
ton of Berkeley County. An album
dance of coal is to be found along the
Third Hill Mountain, west and north
west of Shanghai, and also in the
valley near Shanghai and iron ore is
visible in scores of places in the val
ley and among the foot hills.
Lead ore of a good quality has been
found on the farm of Mrs. Riner. some
four miles west of Shanghai, and there
are indications of silver in some To-
calities.
| hope that the Legislature will or
der a geological survey Of the State
and have it thoroughly done. 1t will
go long way toward making the re-
sources of our State known to the out
side world, and to let it be known how
we'll we are supplied with mineral
wealth, will be to bring immigrants in
to the State faster than they have ever
come in the past, and with the influx
of population will come an accelerated
development of our own varied re-
sources, and West Virginia will soon
take a higher rank among her sister
States than she has ever yet aspired
to hold.
We need few more short lines
of railway to tap the trunk lines
already built or projected and which
will serve as feeders to the latter as
well as furnish outlets for the pro-
duce of those sections that are yet re-
mote from railroad or other facilities
for transportation.

Connected as she was with many of

peaceful death another link which
binds the present to the historic past
is broken. Her mother, Alice Grymes,
eldest daughter of Governor Page,
married DR.. Augustine Smith, educa-
ted in Edinburg, was nephew of D.
and M. Moore, owners of "Temple
Farm" where the articles OF surren-
der were drawn up between Washing
ton and Lord CORVALLIS. Mrs. Digges,
herself highly cultivated, was lega-
tee of Mrs. Moore, receiving her sill
yer, china and glassware. Her hus-
band, who died early in their married
life, was descended from Dudley
Digges, member Of the Kings council
for Virginia.
Born an Episcopalian, for some so
years Mrs. Digges had been devoted
member Of that church, and among
the few now left who were confirmed
by the hands of Bishop Moore. -Shep-
he,'dstoacsa Register.
Feb. 4th, in Charleston, ". Va,
William NJ. Kennedy, aged 40 years.
Deceased was printer by trade, and
connected off and on with various
publications in the State. He pub
lished the Methodist Itiaerdn for a
number of years, but the fatal effects
of the war caused its suspension. He
had passed through many changes
of fortune, and at his death was EN-
ployed on the Charleston State Iri-
Suae, which thus closes a beautiful
tribute to his memory: HE was in life
one of the most conscientious of men,
truthful to exaetness, warm in his
and faithful in every
trust assumed or imposed upon him.
The last proof of mortality had
been corrected, and in the book of
everlasting life, We trust, when the
angel of the resurrection opens its
pages, will be found his name among
the redeemed ones in the eternal city.u

The silent passing away of the in

struggle of old age with death, are

thought of parting with friexds and

Our mails were crowded with Val
entine on Tuesday, and many a fair
one was made happy-many, too, were
put in afghting humor. Oh! the hor-
rid things.
Our city youths must have enjoyed
the day to their hearts content, iudg-
ing from the many smiling faces we
met on their way from the postofiice !;
but, no doubt, many of those who re-
ceived fond tokens of remembrance,
considered the sending of Valentines
a modern custom, whereas it is a very
ancient one. Aboutthe year 270, there
lived in Rome a priest by name Val
entine, who acted a very conspicuous
part in assisting the martyrs in the
persecution under Claudius Ii. He
was apprehended and sent by the
Emperor tothe project of Rome, who,
on finding all his promises to make
him renounce his faith in Christ in
effectual, commanded him to be beaten
with clubs and then to be beheaded.
which was executed on the 18th day of
February, 270. Pope Julius /. is said
to haVe built church to his memory
near PQnte Mole, which for long
time gave name to the gate now
called Porta-del-Populo, formerly
Porta Valentine.
To abolish the heathens' lewd SUI
persitious custom of boys drawing the
names of girls jn honor of their god
dess, " Februata juno" Valentine
and other jealous pastors Of the church
substituted the names of Saints in bill
lets given on the 18th of February.
Lake many other venerable institu-
tions, st. Valentines Day has sadly
degenerated and its observance is now
mainly confined to children or persons
OF vindictive dispositions, who inter
change weakly sentimental or most
weakly humorous missives through
the post. Time was when ST. Yalen-
tlne was favorite among persons of
distinction, and his name is often met
with in English literature.

Parkersburg, until he finds a suitable
location for the practice of law. We
do not like to see Mr.. Wade leaving
Martinsburg, worthy citizen as he is,
and hope he may yet see fit TO remain.
Our best wishes go with him, where
ever his lot may be cast.
