From the Spirit:
The loss ON the dwelling-lOuse of Leo
Washington, which Was burned about ten
DAYS ago. has been paid by Messrs. Wash
ington & Alexander, agents-a prompt
settlement very commendablc III these
gentlemen.
The prOprietors Of the Shenandoah Mill
ing Compauy's store in this place have
for some time past been missing articles
OF merchandise from their store, and
could not account for their disappearance,
until recently it was discovered that a
loose piece Of glass in 4 rear window had
been subject TO removal and replacement.
Tho window fastening had probably been
frequently reached in this manner, and
the store as frequently robbed. Yesterday
morning George Lee, cOlored, was ar
rested as the party guilty Of the burgla-
rics, and 4 search of his premises brought
to light number of articles which were
identified with the Milling Company's
cost mark upon them. lie will be held
for the action of the grand jury.

Mass Mectin-.-At Martinsburr last

Mass Mecting.-At Martinsburg last
Saturday there was rousing meeting of
the farmers of Berkeley County to protest
against the enforcement Of the orders
given TO assessors by Governor Jackson,
which, they claim, impose unjust burdens
upon the farmer. Speeches were made
by Hon. &. J. Faulkner, Rev. W.. w.
Downey, ". S. IIenshaw and Prosecuting
Attorney P. A. RoErbaugh.
MIR. Faulkner said that he believed the
executive To be wrong in this matter. lie
demaaded for the people that they be per-
mitted to have fair fight Tor their rights
before the courts. The people must be
represented before the courts before they
be struck down. The attempt to draw
agricultural products into the vortex of
taxation because one corporation has been
drawn therein is al absurdty.
Rev. w. W. Downey followed in an in
teresting address. Said he: To follow the
Governors idea to its Legitimate conciu-
sion would uecessitate the assessors to
follow people from store to store and
assess each paper Of pins or paper of nee
die. which may be purchased; aye, even
assess every "chaw" of tobacco which
may be taken. The present circular
doesn't merely tax the farmers capital.
That would be all right. But contound
it. it taxes his earnings. He believed the
Governor to be honest and patriotic, and
hoped he'd revoke the order, and if not,
he hoped the assessors would disregard
the order.
p. a. Rohrbaugh said that Governor
Jackson had made grave mistake. lie
didn't think the assessors were bound by
the circulars. As far az he was concerned
he would not indict nor prosecute an as
SCISSOR for disregardng the order. lie was
opposed TO the employment of lawyers to
test this matter OF taxation, and insisted
that if there was to be fight on the qucs-
ton the State should make it and not the
taxpayers. As for himself, he intended
to give in his property according to the
law of 1881, and emphatioally advised
others 10 do the same.
Hon. c. J. Faulkner again took tho
floor at the conclusion Of Mr.. Rohrbaugh's
address and stated to the meeting that the
question, rs far as Berkeley County WAS
concerned, had been settled by Mr.. Rohr-
baugh, the law officer of the State il the
county lie has told the assessors that ii
is not their duty to obey the order; and
that emphatically settles the question as
far as Berkeley is concerned. st the finish
of Mr.. Faulkner's speech the resolutions
were adopted.

q Narrow E>cIpc.-The Washing
ton Sunday papers contained an account
of the narrow escape Of the little son of
Congressman w. J.. Wilson while skat-
ing OH the Potomac Saturday. He ana 4
chance companion "a child near his own
age became accidentally separated from
the other skaters. Master Wilson turned
round it'll youthful recklessncSS, his face
toward the shore, and before he could stop
himself went beyond the ice into the river.
He arose close TO the edge of the ice,
which he caught with his weak little fin
gers. But, of course, he could hold only
a moment, thel, went down again. There
was no one near, except his companion,
who, however, mere baby as he was,
showed extraordinary presence of mind
and unusual courage. When the boy
again came up, clutching the edge of the
ice, the little stranger had thrown himself
down, face foremost, dangerously near
the water, stuck the points of his skates
in the ice, and grasping his playmate drew
him safely out. Then lie took of his little
Jacket and wrapped him in it until they
reached Mr.. Wilson'S residence. Though
the Wilson family are profoundly touched
and more gratilicd than words can cx-
press, they have been unable to discover
either the name or Whereabouts of the
brave little fellow.
