From the Shepherdstown Register:

had good rest, as the water has
been muddy for nearly two months.
One of the young men of Shep'
herdstown has discovered something
new in the way of decoration. He
pins a live freely to his cravat after

diamond of a hotel clerk.
On Thursday of last week lightning
struck a rick of hay on the farm of
Edward II. Roberts, deceased, near
Kearneysville, and consumed the
hay, about ten tons. The same day
it shattered a telegraph pole at
Kearneysville and also a tree on the
premises of DR.. Border.
One of the most severe storms
that has visited this locality for
some years occurred in this vicinity
Thursday. There was an unusually
heavy rainfall in town, accompanied
by very violent shower of hail.
We ourselves saw some hail-stones
an inch in diameter, and the fall of
hail lasted from ten to fifteen min
utes. Considerable damage was
done to the gardens and growing
fruit, but only few windows were
broken.

GOT ON TO HIM ROUGHLY.
In PantOmime.

One of the traces of the street-car
horse broke, delaying the car for seven
or eight minutes. Afar off to the right
one could see into the backyard of a
house, and directly the passengers on
the car were gazing that way at a
pantomime. A man on the car took it
upon himself to explain what was oc-
curing. He began:
"a woman and her husband appear
at the back door. She is excited-he
the picture of calmness."
It was so. The woman waved her
arms and gesticulated- ed-the man seemed
to whistle.
Nov she leads him to bedstead
which she has been scalding," continued
the passenger. "She is probably say
ing that she will smash it with the ak,
and he is probably replying that she'll
have to sleep On the floor if she does.
If I had time I'd advise her to use
kerosene oil in the crevices, but I
haven't"
The woman then led the man to a
carpet hanging on the fence and waved
her arms some more.
"She's telling him to pull off his coat
and beat it, D explained the passenger,
"and he replies that he'll see the old
thing burned first. No true wife will
ever ask her husband to have anything
to do with carpet.
The two suddenly disappeared into
the house, and the interpreter re-
marked:
Hold on-this isn't the end! She's
taken him in to show where she wants

they come, and she is madder'n ever. u
The actors reappeared and stood in
the attitude of enemies about to begin
a combat.
"She's saying that she rues the day
she ever sat eyes on him!' whispered
the passenger. "She's calling him a
loafer and a drunkard, and he's telling
her to set the chimney afre and let the
fremen do the house-cleaning. Whoa
there she's flying off the handle
There! she's hit him with a bedstead
slat! He staggers, but RECEIVERS and
tries to grasp her! She whacks him
again, and now he turns to fee. He
reaches the fence, but she reaches

Some of the passengers ran out upon
the platform to get clear view, but
the interpreter climbed to the roof and
continued:
"She has him down on an ash heap
She's telling him that he has reached
the end Of his rope and has got to cut
bait or fish. He struggles-she chokes
him and jams his head into the ashes
Now he is quiet. Now she lets him up.
