Thanksgiving Day in Charles
town,

1t was very gratifying to observe
with what unanimity Thanksgiving
day was kept by all classes of our
citizens. There was almost an entire
suspension of business and the SER
vices at the different churches were
we'll attended. The uniform deco
rum and good behavior, and the peo-
plei in full holiday attire, all combined
to impress us with their sincerity and
earnestness in the observance of the
day far beyond any such occasion in
the past twenty years. Doubtless the
sudden death of the much esteemed
Vice-President Hendricks had much
to do with fixing the attention of our
pie to the fact of their great respon-
sibility to Almighty God, not only for
the great blessings they have enjoyed
in benign government, abundant
harvests and vigorous bodily health,
but also their dependence on Him for
a continuance of those blessings in the
future. Not the least pleasing occur
renee of the day was the concert given
in the evening at Washington Hall by
Prof. Leo Wheat, assisted by Profs.
DePierri and DeBona, Mr.. Goodwin
Williams, of Clarke county, Va. and
a chorus of some of our home talent.
The music was in the main selections
from the old masters, and it's rendi-
ton was artistic and the harmony ex-
quisite. So refined and elevating was
the rendition of the pieces that no one
conld fail to be impressed by hearing
them The performance closed by a
strong chorus rendering the national
anthem, beginning "God Bless our
Native Land'' lead by Prof. DePierri
playing upon violin which at one
time belonged to General George
Washington: This elegant relic of
the old man whose memory to-day
stands first in war, first in peace
and first in The hoarts of his country
men, is now the property of Mr..
Thos. B. Washington of this place, and
descended to him from his father,
Thomas Washington, who received it
from Judge Bushrod Washington at
Mount Vernon. By card of the ma
ker, on the inside of the instrument,
we found it was manufactured by ia
cob Steiner, celebrated German
workman, in the year 1875. It is
therefore over two hundred years old.
The violin, in its original case, quaint
old box, was presented to the au-
dience by Hon. w. L. Wilson, mem
Der of Congress from this District, in
very handsome and felicitous adj
dress.

County Items.

From the Shepherdstown Register
We clip the following items:
Mr.. John L. Clements has been
promoted to be conductor on the
passenger trains of the Shenandoah
Valley Railroad. A first-class APP
pOntment.
Miss Lucy Taylor, daughter of Mr..
j. VIII Taylor, met with very pain
full accident a few days ago. She
fell from fence and sustained a
compound fracture of the arm near
the wrist. DR.. a. S. Reynolds, of
this place, was summoned, and gave
the necessary surgical attention.
Col. VIM. A. Morgan, of this place,
has been appointed by the committee
having the matter in charge to re-
ceive contributions for the purchase
of q carriage for G0vernor-eIect
Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia. Doubt
less there are some of General Lee S
old friends and admirers who wish to
contribute for this purpose, and Col.
Morgan will promptly forward money
left with him for that purpose.
One of the most distressing affairs
that has come to our knowledge for
some time, was the death of Claude
Hill, a ten-year-Old son of Mr.. Vol
ncy Hill, who lives at Dust's Cross
ing, on the B. & O. Railroad. About
three weeks ago Mr.. Hill was in the
woods cutting timber, and Claude
was engaged in pulling away the
brush as it was cut off. He got too
near the axe of his father. and Mr..
Hill, not seeing him, cut him in the
head with his axe, striking glancing
blow. The little fellow did not seem
to be badly hurt, and it was thought
to be only a scalp wound. In short
time he seemed all right, and even
went to school. But it was not long
until he became very i'll, and on Tues
day of last week he died. It was
then discovered that his skull had
been cut through and the brain in
iured. If this had been known SOON
er it is likely that the chiId's life
might have been saved. The distress
of the parents is very great'at the sad
occurrence.

Death of Vice-President Hen
bricks.

Thomas A. Hendricks, Vice Presi-
dent of the United States, died, after
brief illness, Wednesday afternoon,
shortly before five o'clock, at his
home in Indianapolis, of paralysis of
the brain, in the 9th year of his age.
Mr.. Hendricks had attained the re-
ward of long and honorable public
career in his election to the office
which, though without immediate re-
sponsibility, yet indicates the highest
public trust, and his presence in the
chair of the Senate was expected to
give confidence that in any event the
succession of the Presidency was we'll
secured. Dying thus early in his
term, when he had scarcely more than
entered upon the merely formal du-
ties of his position, the deep sense of
the loss of an honored public man is
deepened by the regret which all
must feel. for even the possibility
of any political uncertainty. His
sudden death causes universal and
profound sorrow throughout the whole
land, and marks of respect to his
memory are quite general. He is the
fifth Vice-President who has died in
office.
