HAGERsTOwN is agitating the
project of building a new market
house, the present building being
wholly inadequate to the require
ments of the public. Hagerstown
has a good market law, and although
there was great objection to it at
first, it has resulted in the establish
ment of a first class market, which
is not only a great convenience to
the citizens, but a source of revenue
to the corporation. Martinsburg
might profit by the example of Ha-
gerstown in this respect.

HUMOROUS.

Do they miss me at homc?-do they miss me?
'TwOuld be an assurance most dear
To know tha; my name was FORGOTTEN,
As though had never been there.
To know that the tailor and landlord,
And the banks where my paper IS due,
And hosts whom now can not MENTION
Had banished me quite from their view.
Do they miss me al home?-do they miss me?
When the market for money IS tight,
And collectors in haste pursuing
Their debtors by day and by night
Do the friends who once loaned me tiity,
And the others who loaned me " ten,
Heave 2 sigh Of regret as they miss me,
And wish they could see me again?
Do they miss me at home2-do they miss me?
Where no longer I'm seen upon Change
And do those who ere wont 10 assist me -,
Say, =" His conducts internally strange!
Does the Shylock who loaned mehis money
To bear me 10 regions unknown,
Look in vain for occasions 10 dun me,
And wish again were at home?
Do they miss INC a; home do they miss me!

irE TEXTS .JACK-RABBIT.

Ills ayoirduposis is about twelve pounds,
and his ears measure, from tip TO tip, about
sixteen inches. lie does not burrow in the
ground. He lies under cover of a bunch OF
prairie grass, but is very seldom found at
ho,ne..his Office hours being between sunset
and sunrise. lie is to be,found during the
day on the open prairie, where he feeds on
the tender roots Of lhe mosquito CT sage grass.
BE is not ferocious animal az q stranger
might be Led to suppose from an examination
of what purports to be his picture, underthe
alias of"The Texan Hare" in Gov. Rob
ert's book. The jack rabbit has several en-
emics, among them the cowboy, who shoots
him with his rifle; the cayote and the dog,
that try to run himsdown, and the Governor
f, Of Texas, above alluded to, who libels him
in his book He has two ways of defending
himself against his enemies One way is to
squat when he suspects danger, and fold his
ears along his side By this he often escapes
observation, as only his back Is exposed, the
color Of which harmonizes with ssthe brown
Of the withered grass. The other plan that
lie uses, when discovered and pursued, is to
create remotenessibetween himself and his
purs',er. In giyingihi5- whole attention to
the mstter, when necessary, he is stipend

disturbed he anlimbors his long legs, unflrls
hi. ears, and gees Off with a bound. He
generally stops after running about a hun
dred yards, and looks back 20 sec if his pur-
suer is enjoying the chase as much as he
thought he would, ,''and then. he leaves for
parts unknown There are many fast things
from an ice-boat to a note maturing in the
bank; but nothing TO equal the jack rabbit.
An unfounded rumor gets around pretty
lively, but could not keep NJ with Ihim for

the rabbit 9catlc exercise. The latter mere

give the funeral procession time to catch up.
But ifyou want to sec velocity, urgent speed,
and precipitated haste, YOU have only TO turn
