Ma. Editor, we thank you heartily
for giving us space in your valuable
paper. We now commence the new
year which suggests to the thought
fnl the propriety of recognizing ones
way Of living in many respects.
To those little girls whose last year
has been the theatre Of hard struggle
against old hahits which had eli
slaved them and were steadily un-
dermining their moral and physical
health; the new year brings new
resolutions and pledges for further
advancement toward the emancipa-
tion Of self and full enjoyment OF
victory over the powers of evil. To
those little girls who have foated
along the stream of time listless of
aught beside personal indulgence,
the new year may not be more than
a way to make boundary over which
we step into another twelve months
space. Such indifference to the
movement of months and years can
not but indicate moral stagnation,
dormant conscientiousnesS and a
limited intellectual comprehension.
This is state of dcclension which
no little girls who contemplate life
from point of view Of their prac.
tical usefulness would tolerate. Will
the l;ttle girls who read this wish to
set aside the year 1882 on the credit
side Of their life account and make it
a witness to their progress in their
mental conscience Of their earthly
career, let them first, survevstheir past
with close scrutiny fearing not 30
confront the darkest item of their
record. Second, resolve to improve
themselves especially in those par
ticulars which have left the deepest
stains upon their past; to this end
breaking boldly away from practices
which are inconsistent with moral
and physical purity. Third, study
the laws of moral and physical
growth to the end that th y may
avail themselves of the best means
in the way of diet exercise work and
study, to fortify and develope their
organization. Fourth, keep in view
some high object of standard of
moral integrity, and work steadily
toward it hopfuliy and trustfully
labor for its attainment. Fifth, be-
lieve in your ability to accomplish
the desired end all things are easy to
those who try.

The Baltimore AmeFicdR of Tues
day contained an editorial, in which
it says 1.-THE Republicans have at least
two Congressional districts certain of
success, if they will make the proper
effort, and another one in which the
chances are in their favor. In the
Sixth district Mr.. Urner will be
elected" etc.
The Washington correspondent of
the american, under date of August
20, says:
In conversation this evening with
several Republicans residing in the
Sixth Congressional district, they
stated that the opposition to Mr.. Ur-
ner's denomination had about fizzled
out, and they were satisfied that he
will again be the candidate in that
district. While there was no doubt
that Mr.. Urner had about made up
his mind several weeks ago to retire
from the contest he has been induced
to change his mind and be the Ad-
ministration candidate for another
term.
Copying the above the Frederick
Times says:
1t is understood that Washington,
Allegany and Garrett counties are
solid for Urner, as also is Frederick.
He will be the candidate of the Re
publican party of this district, and
not the representative of any one part
of the party as the above dispatch
would imply.
The Middletown Frederick coun-
ty) Banner Of Liberty, says:
The Frederick Times seems deter
mined in It's effort to try to make the
people believe that they don't know
what they want or, to make it more
plain, that they don't know whether
they want Mr.. Urner for Associate
Judge or for Congress. This it will
find an "uphill" business, for the Re-
publicans of this county have long
since decided.-and have been quiet
ly resting under that decision, to
make him their candidate for Asso.
ciate Judge this fall, and it looks too
much like imposition and deception
to try to persuade them that Mr..
Urner is opposed to his nomination
for Congress. We haye known Mr..
Urner for long time, and think we
have learned to know that he neith-
er asks for nor seeks any office, but
is willing to abide the decision of his
friends, that decision in this
case, it will be found in due time.
will be his nomination for Associate
Judge, Notwithstanding the strenu-
Gus efforts being put forth by certain
parties (having, no doubt, axes to
grind to defeat the will of the peo-
pie. His friends should look out for
"shenaneging."

A correspondent of the Baltimore
Herald writing from Deer Park
says:
The wonderful enterprise of Hon.
H. G. DAVIS is seen everywhere.
This gentleman owns about hun
dred thousand acres of mountain
land. His brother has some interest
in this vast property, but the con-
trolling right is held by the gentle
man named. Soon after the war Mr..
Davis began to make improvements
here. For some years he kept a
number of deer in an enclosed park,
and from this fact the village took
its name of "Deer Park" He en-
ployed a number of hands in feel
ing the timber that abOunded here,
which was hauled on a tramway by
mules to his saw mill ten miles dis
tant. By the same means the pre-
pared timber is returned to this place
for shipment. AS the land became
cleared he began to improve and put
it in farms. until his farming inter-
ests became considerable, necessitat-
ing the employment of additional
Park began to assume the position of
a village, various industries began to
gather until to-day it is quite a pros
porous little town. The land is in
creasing every year in value, and
the quantity of timber available is
ineXhaustible. Among the houses
OF the village Mr.. DaYis owns seven
teen, besides a number on his various
farms. Mr.. Davis is a very rich
man-how rich very few know. He
is not the man to parade his affairs
before the world. He is strictly
business man. and gives his multitu-
diDous interests his personal inspec.
ton. His WOrkmen say there is
nothing that eXcapes his notice. A
crooked post, a tool out of place, or
the mlnuteSt defect in workmanship
is seen and kindly pointed out to his
astOnished employees. 1t is said of
him that he is never idle. He de-
lights to help those who try to help
themselves. He regularly contrib
utes to the support of each of the
churches in the place.
Mr.. Davis is a member of the Uni
ted States Senate. from West Virgin.
ia. During the sessions he resides
in Washington, but claims his home
in Piedmont where he has magnifi-
cent residence He also has a pala-
tial summer home at Deer Park,
where he now resides with ms fami-
ly.

BURNING OF A Historic BARN.
The old historic barn of w. & J. X,
Beeson, of UniOntown, Pa, situated
on their Mount BraddOck farm, six
miles north Of that place, was burned
on Friday night with all its contents,
Init were stored nearly four thousand
bushels of wheat, one hundred BUSH
els of rye, fifty tons of hay and many
large agricultural implements. Nine
large and valuable farm horses and
one Durham bull also persisted. Loss
about twelve or fifteen thousand dol
lars, the insurance being $1,000. The
barn was one of the famous ones of
Western Pennsylvania, owing not
less to its size than to its age and the
fame of the builder. 1t was solid
structure A by 100 feet, and was built
by Isaach Meason in 1902. 1t was
situated on the large tract known as
the Mount Braddock farm, so called
because it was for a time the head
quarters of General Braddock in his
memorable Pittsburg campaign of
1855. The fire was probably the work
of an incendiary.

Our Deer Park Letter.
DEER PARK, Aug. %, 1882

Last Friday evening, at the regu-
lar meeting of the Deer Park Tenn
perance Society, Prof. VIM. Elliot of
Baltimore City College, delivered a
very able discourse on the temperance
question.
Mrs. John w. Williams of Phia-
delphia, who has for some years oc-
cupied one of the Cottages near the
Hotel, with her daughter, Miss
Annie, is doing very noble work
for our village. They have request
ed the little girls of the place to meet
them at the school house every Sat
urday afternoon, have presented them
with needles, thread, thimbles and
suitable material for useful garments
for themselves and disinterestedly
give their time to instructing them IN
making them up.
Mr.. Dawson, the man who was
injured last week by attempting to
jumps on passing train, is recover
ing, and will escape any serious Ell
fects of his recklesSness.
Mr.. r. IL. Head, of our vicinity,
has been quite sick for the past two
weeks, but is now much better.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. Leigh Jones, of
Richmond, Va. are at present visit
ing Senator Davis family.
A party of twenty gentleman and
ladies, principally visitors at the
Wing and Wing yesterday made an
excursion to Cheat Mountain and
river. The day was very pleasant
and the "Trip thoroughly delightful to
the whole company, Notwithstanding
the steep descent and laborious ascent
Of the mountain. 1t was refreshing
TO see the pleasure with which, on
the sandy beach. the qrOW2l-upS, some
of them with SILVER threads among
the go,d, revived their childish
amuoements and built forts. made
sand pies, skipped stones, pitched
quOits, &c. The scenery all up and
down the river is SO perfectly lovely
that the excursion is one of the most
enjoyable that can be made by our
summer viSitorS-the beautiful foun-
tain and exquisite groups of choice
flowers, at Buckhorn Wall, SO far
away from any dwelling, attracted
particular attention. The joy of the
party was very nearly turned into
sorrow by the imminent danger of
one of the number. Some of the gen.
tlemen had found bathing place and
while Mr.. Bruner Bantz was in the
water, he was drawn into current,
and not being able to swim, could
not save himself, but proyidentially
Mr.. Chas. Ogle. being not more than
a hundred feet away, swan swiftly
toward him and rescued him from his
perilous situation.
