The diphtheria is quite prevalent
in the Southern part of Jefferson
county.
w. G.. Eggleston, of the Nj. h.
Church South of Shepherdstown, at
tended the Oriole at Baltimore, and
while in the crowd witnessing the
procession passing by he was relieved
of a handsome and valuable gold
watch by a pick-pocket.
Armstead Burlington, an old citi-
zen of Harpers' Ferry and we'll
known throughout the county as
"giant Burlington, says the Spirit
Of Jefferson, met with a serious acct
dent on Monday evening, 18th inst,
by which he lost his left arm and
narrowly escaped with his life. 1t
seems that he was on his way to the
neighborhood of Unionville, where
he was employed building a stone
wall, and when about mile above
the Ferry, he was met and knocked
down by a freight train, and his left
arm, falling on the track, was sever
ed just above the elbow. He sus-
tanned other injuries about the head
and body of a serious character.
Doctors Ransom and Cockrell per-
formed the necessary surgical oper~
alton, and at latest accounts he
seemed to be doing very well.
The Winchester Times says: DR..
Jas. J. Johnson, of Martinsville,
Ind, claims to have in his posses
sion the remains of one of the sons
of old John Brown, the noted aboli-
zionist, who was killed with his
father at Harpers' Ferry in their
memorable attack on that place.
DR.. johnson claims to have procur-
ed the body from the Winchester
Medical College during the early
days Of the war. John Brown, Jr.,
has visited DR.. Johnson, and eX-
presses his conviction that the re-
mains are those of his brother. Wat
son Brown. The College building
was torn down early in the war by
Federal troops, as measure of re-
taliation, as was alleb J. at to time
for the fact stated above.
The Shepherdstown Register of
the 23d inst. says:-Last Tuesday
night, a passenger changing cars at
Harpers' Ferry was leaning against
the railing of the platform on the
river side, when a train came along,
and fearing he might not be safe
standing there, he sprang lightly
over the railing having mistaken
the river, as he afterwards stated,
for meadow. His stunning amaze
ment may be better imagined than
described when, after fall OF thirty
or forty feet he sank in ten feet OF
muddy swift running water. He,
however, had sufficient presence of
mind to keep his head above water,
and was carried down to the bridge,
where he drifted against a pier and
climbing to a ledge called for help.
When he was rescued he refused to
tell any thing about himself. 1t
was lucky for him that the river was
so high, because at most seasons of
the year the water is ten feet or
more from the wall and had it been
SO then he must have been killed.

WILLIAM LEE NIHIsER-It is
sad to see the young die, when life
is in the spriDgtime, and the buds Of
promised usefulness are just opening
and all the streams Of hope are in
full and Joyous flow. But to be sud
denly crushed to death, far away
from home and mother is still sad
der. Young Nihiser had left his home
in the beautiful Mooreield Valley,
that he might relieve that home of
the burden OF bis support, and earn
at least his own living. But in the
very midst of a successful effort in
that direction, he was cut down sud
denly, with no loved hand to smooth
his brow or give him farewell kiss.
His remains were brought from Ha-
gerstOWn to the residence Of an APP
preciative aunt-Mrs. FreeZe-from
whence they were removed TO the
cemetery. His kind father reached
here in time to attend his funeral.
But his mother J who can describe
the pent-up sorrow Of her loving
heart.
We shall part, but not forever,
There will be a glorious morn,
We shall meet 10 Dart-no never
On the resurrection morn.

EARLY OR LATE WHEAT SEED
1NG.-The season has been very fa-
vorable for preparing the ground for
wheat seeding. The result is where
wheat has been sown early, It's
growth is rapid. There is danger
now that its growth will be too
rapid, and its exposure to the fly the
greater. Late sown wheat may be
best, as it is likely to have ample
time to grow, and the cooler fall
weather will protect it against the
fly. Last fall wheat was sown late,
the drought delayed blowing, yet we
have the largest crop ever raised in
this section. 1t must be observed
that much depends on the season
which is best, early or late seeding.
