The weather continues to be cold.
The thermometer has been pretty
close to zero for several days. Those
who have ice houses to fill have been
getting ice of an excellent quality.
Joseph Wageley, near Leetown,
has improved his dwelling house by
building wing to it.
Miss Matte Fellers, while visiting
Mrs. Geo. d. Johnson, few days ago,
met with a painful, but not serious
accident by being kicked by her horse,
on the wrist and hand as she attempt
ed to walk around it. DIR. Buck was
called to her relief, and it was found,
besides the bruising of the hand, that
small bone or two were broken.
Many thanks to you, Mary Beau,
for your information. or your inform
ers as it may be, of the turnpike law.
We presume there is nothing wanting
in your judgment; that the manag-
ment of the road is SO arranged so as
to suit the parties you represent and,
as matter of course, must suit you.
But we have the same opinion, still,
of the pike and the management of it
that we had in former communica-
ton. Again, your boss informed you
wrong never did haul or break stone
on the pike. We are aware, too, that
the county caused tollgates to be put
on the Shepherdstown and Smithfeld
turnpike; that the present manager
was appointed and is governed by
said court. We do not mean to say
that the present manager has failed
to discharge the duties intrusted to
him according to the directions ofsaid
court. But we do not propose to accept
the county court as a perfection. 1t
is doubted by many whether the court
had the right to put tollgates on such
a road, but if it did, that right should
be sustained.
Mr.. William Hilton and wife of
Point of Rocks, Md, and Miss Matte
Sakeman, of Vanclevesville, are the
guests of Mrs. John Ramsburg this
week.
The oyster supper, at Leetown, by
the Good Templars, has been post
poned until Feb. the 5, 6, and 18th.
Rev. j. L. Eubank is holding pro-
tracted meeting at Vanclevesvillet this
week.
We have been informed that the
protracted meeting, at Duffields in
charge of Rev. Jno. A. Scott. closed
last week. During the meeting there
were one hundred and nineteen in
quirers. X.
We are sorry that some remark in
regard to certain roads in Jefferson
has led to differences between our cor
respondents. They are both good
citizens, and we take it are interested
in. what is best for their county and
people. Any question of law cannot
be settled in the newspapers but with
the courts, and the discussion only
leads to bitter words, and in that res
pect we are all human and have our
faults. Let the chapter end here,
gentlemen.-ED

blown down, and the top was taken
from a box car at the S. V. r. r.
depot, while Messrs. A. d. Miley,
and r. A. Phillips were loading the
wagon was struck and broken. That
both these gentlemen escaped with
out injury seems almost miracle.

One after another, within the short
space of several years, have brother,
father and mother. and now another
brother, been called to pass that
bourne from whence no traveller e'er
returns. A few days before his death
the deceased announced his perfect
trust in God, and his friends are left,
in their mourning, the blessed assur-
anee that he departed feeling pre-.
pared for his end, which he feltaware
was not far off. The sympathy OF
the community goes out to the Sor-
rowing family. May He who doeth
all things well comfort and sustain
them in their affection.

Since MEMO has left us our village
has been without reporter, therefore
thinking that the news of the village
might prove of interest to some OF
the readers of THE HERALD, we will
try and give it.
Mr.. William Boyer was in the vile
this week. He is looking well.
Miss Emma Cockrell, of Harper's
Ferry, who has been visiting friends
here, has returned home.
Misses Alice Wagely and Lydia
Johnson, of Leetown, are visiting in
the vile.
Some of our boys have been visiting
the skating-rink they report the
floor very solid.
Our merchants report trade very
dull at present.
A horse belonging to Mr.. Jacob
Gruber, died at the age of 26 years.
The weather is cold, at least some
of the boys take walk after preach
ing is over say so, especially those
who have some distance to go. We
heard one say that he did not mind
the cold as the winds were great pro-
lection; no doubt, they are, especially
when you get behind them.

Days Horse and Cattle powder pro-
notes the growth of stunted pigs, and
increases the natural tendency of swine
to take on flesh. AS cleanser and invi-
gorator for hogs 1t has no equal. Only
20 cents per package of one pound, full
weight.
1t is astonishing how small sum
will square individual accounts if it
can only be set in motion. In one OF
our business offices the Office boy owed
one of the clerks three cents, the clerk
owed the cashier two cents, and the
cashier owed the Office boy two cents.
One day, the Office boy having a cent
in his pocket, concluded to diminish
his debt, and handed the cent to the
clerk, who, in turn paid half his debt
by giving the coin to the cashier. The
cashier handed the cent back to the
Office boy, saying, "Now l owe you
only one cent" The Office boy again
passed the cent to the clerk, whopass-
ed it to the cashier, who passed it back
to the office boy, and the boy squared
all accounts by paying it to the clerk,
thus discharging his entire debt. This
shows how great may be the benefit
derived from even small payment.
