come that all Democrats, former mem

once more to fight against the small

the State. The plots of this ring Of

all men can understand them. 1t has
narrowed dowa to the single question,

Chairman and Members E.r. Commit
tee s. c. B. s.:
Having been appointed by your
Committee January l, 1858, to visit
Winchester in behalf of the Bible
work. and if possible to secure the re-
susciation of. 1.-THE Frederick County
Bible Society, 7 herewith submit my
report
Accompanied BY Mr.. Mayer Steele,
on the Sd day of January l proceeded
to Winchester and spent several hours
working the matter up. We found
the President of the F. G. B. S.-Mr.
j. N. Bell-and secured from him a
promise to hold meeting Of the So
ciety at an early day and put their
Society on its feet again. We then
visited Rev. DR.. Gilbert (Lutheran),
Mr.. VIM. B. Baker (Lutheran), Mr..
Frederick Ornshaw (Lutheran), Mr..
James B. Russell (Presbyterian) Mr..
H. Clay Krebs (Presbyterian), DR..
Boyd (Presbyterian), and MIR. VIM. R.
Alexander (Baptist), each of whom
promised their aid, support and CO..
operation in the work of resuscitation.
We called to see many other ministers
and members of various churches,
with whom we failed to have inter
views because of their absence from
home. With the assurances we re-
ceived from those we interviewed, we
felt confident there would soon be a
meeting and the work go right on.
In addition to the above visit, I
wrote Rev. W. M. Staples, Secretary
of the Virginia B. S. at Richmond,
and Rev. Alexander Mclean, Secre-
tary of the A. B. S., requesting both
of them to send certain papers to the
above mentioned and other parties IN
Winchester, and do everything in their
power to promote the movement there.
| received prompt answers from each
of the al owe Secretaries, informing me
OF their compliance with my requests,
and Rev, Staples wrote me that he
would himself visit Winchester soon,
and secure the reorganization of the
Society there. l trust that you will
continue to look after the matter I'M
til you see the F. G. B. Society activey
at work again, Respectfully,

To Get Rid of Mosquitoes.

AS those annoying pests, mosqui-
toes, have put in an appearance, we
give the following simple recipe how
to get rid of them, which is said to be
quite effectual Take of gum camphor
piece about one-third the size of an
egg, and evaporate it by placing it in
tin vessel, holding it over a lamp or
candle, taking care that it does not
ignite. The smoke will soon fill the
room, and expel the mosquitoes.

The Season for Enjoyment.

We are now having very pleasant
weather, and the picnic season and
excursions into the country will soon
be all the rage among the pleasure
seeking community. To those who
have been pentssp Tor many months
it affords much pleasure, and is also a
means of recuperating the health of
those who have been wearied and
worn down by hard and incessant toll.

Care During Thunder Storms.

The number Of cases of death by
lightning are more than usually nu-
merous this season. The storms have
been unusually frequent and of great
severity. During the prevalence of a
thunder storm great care should be
exercised not to expose oneself to dam
ger Sitting at an open window or
door, near a chimney, or in draft,
should be avoided, as it is always at
tended by more or less danger. In
time Of stofG2 whether at home or
in public building, it is best to close
up the windows and doors, to avoid a
draft, even if one has to undergo some
of the inconvenience of excessive
warmth. If out doors, it will be bet
ter to get a drenehing in the rain than
to take shelter uader a tree or any ex-
posed place, as there is very great
danger attending The former course
1t will be found On investigation that
very many of the fatal results of light
ming are due to careless exposure
during the prevalence Of storms.

Cash in Advance.

No paper can be made profitable
without cash payments IN Advance. -
He who tries it will give away more
of his earnings than any newspaper in
the South can affori.-NoJoM Ledger.
This is oubtedly the right pol
icy, since everything that enters into
the composition Of newspaper must
be paid for in cash or it's equivalent
by the publisher, and there is neither
reason or good common sense in his
sending paper, year, to people who
do not pay, nor care to pay for it.
The cash system ought to be adopted
everywhere in the South, as it is in the
North. We have often been surprised
at the effrontery of people of whom
we never heard, in sending their
names with an order for the paper
without money, or without even ref
erence of any kind. Such people
would not think of making an order
on any of our merchants for goods
goods and expect it to be filled. But
the newspaper menrgood, easy soulsl
will, they imagine, be glad of an
opportunity to get their paper-the
product of their brains, energy and
capital, circulated and read. We
ought all to reform in this particular,
by making all subscriptions payable
in advance. -Lymchbuay Vryinaan.
