Strdsbu10. The election for cor
poration officers passed off very qui-

There was an examination at the
Academy on Thursday and Friday,
the 25th and 26th ult., at the close Of
the Graded School.
Mrs. Mary Allan also had an exam
ination on the 29th, and on the even
ing of the Both she gave an entertain
ment at the residence of Mr. Joseph
Hupp. The already beautiful grounds
were made still more attractive by a
large number of brilliant Chinese Ian

Mrs. Hupp.
The school gave very creditable
performance of H. M. S. Pinafore
also number Of songs ana recitations;
among others was "Granny's Old Arm

of the parts sung by them.
1t was very pleasant evening, and
will long be remembered by the large
number of our citizens gathered there,
all Of whom came away we'll pleased.
I hope that Mrs. Allan may live to
give us many more such entertain
ments, and when she has another
soiree may we all be there to see.
Mr.. j. W. Eberly and bride return

DR.. HARTMAN | cannot but ex-
press my thanks to you for the great
benefit received from the use of Pc
runa and Manalin. One bottle of
each placed me squarely on my feet,
after long sickness which had laid
me in bed and then left me lame and
crippled. Three days use of these
remedies dispensed with the cane, and
in week was perfectly well.

one OF their attractions. 1t is pro-
posed to raise a sum of about $4,000
to invest in some attractive premium
to be contested for in competitive
drill by the SecondVirginia Regiment,
which is composed Of nearly all, if not
ALL OF the volunteer companies of the
Valley. This will bring together a
large number of our organized militia,
and with them the recollection of the
martial days of 1875.

very close, resulted in a victory to the
Democratic ticket, with two excep-

the citizens of Winchester will doubt
less experience an honest, economical
and satisfactory management of their
city affairs.

Look TO Your CELLARs.-One of
the most fruitful sources of disease in
the household is dirty cellar. There
has been occasion within the last few
years to record many instances in
which desolating sickness has entered
families through this cause; carrying
off one after another by diphtheria or
some other dreadful disease. The
cause was not suspected until it was
too late to avoid the consequences.
An apparently slight exhalation from
standing water. or from damp cellar
where water cannot be found, especi-
ally if there should happen to be any
decaying vegetable matter in it, may
affect a Who'll family. The presence
of this malarial atmosphere in the
house is not detected until fever or
some other disease breaks out. Even
those who are aware of the existence
of dampness and of their exposure to
malarial influences do not always take
immediate measures to correct the
evil, but live on in security or in hope
until sickness awakens them to their
danger.

The attention of the reader is re-
quested to the advertisement of VIM.
H. Baker, who keeps the best boot,
shoe and hat establishment in Win
chester. When you go to town call
and see him, and our word for it you
will come home neither bootless, shoe
less nor hatless.
Great age carries with it certain
responsibility whether it attaches to a
person or thing. This is seen partic-
ularly in the case of Johnson's Ano-
dyne Liniment, which is the most mar
velous internal and external remedy
ever discovered. 1t ought to be kept
in every house.
Mr.. G. B. Guyer, of the we'll known
firm of Undertake, Stickley & Guyer,
at Middletown, made us a pleasant
call few days since. These gentle
men are now fully prepared to meet a
larger trade than at any time hereto
fore. See their advertisements in this
number of the STAR.
We would remind the reader that
it is not only in the large towns like
Stephens City and Winchester where
good manufacturing establishments
are found. If you doubt this, call
and see J. S. Steele's carriage and
blacksmith shops at Kernstown. Those
who patronize him say he is one of the
very best workmen in the county.
We hope our readers will excuse
the late appearance of this issue, and
theywill most probably have to wait till

ARTEMAS WARD IN A BOARDING
SCHOOL,.

GOscar T.. Hewitt, in Providence Press.l
The following morning was as rare
and sunny as Was ARENAS himself. He
could not resist an invitation to visit
tho "Young Ladies' High School,"
While walk ing to the academy street
runaway occurred. A terrified horse
went tearing over the pavement with
what Artemas called "the fore-quarters'
of 4 wagon Gathering at its heels. This
incident Artemas ingeniously utilized
in his address. "The vehicular clop-
ment which has just taken place, young
ladies, has furnished us with a timely
topic of discourse. Young ladies' semi
naries are ever exposed to runaways.
Once, when travelling with my show, l
came upon female institute. There
were ladders and lads, too, as to that,
at every window. Manly perpendi-
culars carrying fainting horizontals to
the ground. Fire! l shouted. None
of that replied 4 solemn voice from
the orchard. There amt no fire these
are only young fellows running Off with
their sweethearts.' There is moral en-
tertainment for man and beast in this
runaway. No horse, if attached to
wagon, that is, if sincerely attached to
it, will run away with it, but the
more a young man is attached to a
young woman the more he will run
away with her, leaving no traces, in
fact none of the harness, behind.
Young ladies, since I have stood before
your beautiful faces, l have lost some.
thing, and if you or the boy that
sweeps out should find red object,
looking like coral breast-pin that has
been stepped on, you may know it is
my poor, bursted hearth
