From the Shepherds Register.
Last Saturday thirty carloads of
cotton passed north over the
Shenandoah Valley Railroad, bound
for the New England States. 1t is
expected that in the near future this
traffic will increase enormously.
Mrs. Elizabeth Shook, last of
Clearspring, Md, but for the last
three years residing in the family of
II. N. Deatrick, of Martinsburg,
has received pension of So per
month and back pay, amounting to
$2,02427 for the loss of an only son
in August, 1862.
Last Thursday morning the stack
yard of DR.. G.. IL. Stevens, near
Kearneysville, was destroyed by fire,
consuming about four hundred
bushels Of wheat in the stack. 1t is
supposed that the fire was caused by
a tramp and his pipe. The property
was fully insured.
The new building of the Shep.
herdstown Manufacturing Company
at this place is well under way, the
brick work being almost finished.
The building is of brick, two stories
high, 80 by 100 feet, not including,
new boiler room 20 10y 40 feet.
The structure is being built in the
most substantial manner, and is
good evidence that the company is
enjoying a very healthy growth
Mr.. Lewis Licklider, who left here
forty'siX years ago, and who has
made but one visit in that time, and
that forty years ago, is again visit
ing the friends and relatives OF his
native place. Mr. Licklider will
certainly leave enough descendants
to cause his name to be perpetuated
forever He has had two wives, is
the father of twenty children, and
has sixty grandchildren and eight
great grandchildren LII any one
can boast of more descendants than
this, let them come forward. Mr..
Licklider is now living at Jake's

The people Of all parties rejoice in

Ttey were bold, selfish men.
Butler, although having noue VI

Of each was temporary that OF

THE ELECTIONS.

We omit detail of figures in announc-
ing the result Of last Tuesdays cleo
tions. Whatever of gain there was,
seems to be with the Republicans.
Pennsylvania, within one year after be-
ing carried by a democratic Governor,
was carried by the republicans; and
Massachusetts likewise, and Connecti-
cut remains republican with increased
majority. Maryland and New Jersey
continue democratic, and Virgins is
again in the hands of the Democracy.
The State of New York again shows a
Republican majority. OF the vantage
gained, or of the effect upon the more
serious campaign of 1854, but little can
be predicted. The outlook in the COM
ing battle of the ballots, In yoint of ex-
element, in earnestness of leaders and
following, viii be unusually deep, in
tense and close. 1t Will not be an easy
race, but Il contest of every inch of the
ground for success. The plumbers of
Congress or of officials may yet give one
or the other advantage, ornew issues
may spring up of sufficient Importance
to voters to be able to guarantee results,
but without such, the campaign will be
fierce.
