Canada appears to be well satisfied with the
results of its protection policy adopted IN 1879 IL
is found that domestic trade and manufacturing
have been strengthened thereby. few years ago
Canada imported most of its saws from TINS
country; it now exports many saws to the United
States IL is also sending many musical instru-
ments to Europe. while the importation Of musical
instruments from this country is decreasing vi
course it would be Il good thing Tor the Chited
States il Canada were to abolish its tariff on foreign
goods; but it would be a bad thing for Canada
and il is not TO be expected that Canadian states
men will adopt so disastrous policy But we
notice that Canada has its quota OF free-trade
theorists who ignore facts and continue to butt
their heads against stone wall. These men are
anxious to benefit humanity in the abstract; but
they often forget all about the concrete men ana
women in their own country who stand most III
Mt ed of sympathy and help.

The M.rttnsburg Fair.-The


Berkeley County Fair Association has
had much bad luck in the past, and at
one time it seemed as If it would col
lapse. This year new set of officers
and directors took fresh hold on the
Association and made vigorous effort
to have a successful exhibition and set
the fair on its feet again. They worked
hard to this end, but the fates and Jupi-
ter Pluvius were against them. The
fair began on Tuesday last, but Tuesday
was a rainy day and very few persons
attended. Wednesday was bright day,
and there was very good crowd pres
ent. The feature of the day was pa
rade of military and firemen, in which
the Shepherd Fire Department Of this
place participated. Thursday, one of
the big days, was another rainy day,
and put an effectual damper on the spir-
its of those who had worked so hard for
the fair. Every one will be sorry at the
discouragements our neighbors have
met with. There was very creditable
display OF machinery, stock, agricultu-
raj products, ladies' work, &c. The
Martinsburg folks should not allow
themselves to be completely discouraged
by their bad luck, but should keep on
trying. If they persist in their efforts
they are bound to succeed. Try again
next year.

No Whining.-"Trade has been quiet this
season." This is the mournful cry heard on
every hand. We are glad 10 say that We are
not candidates for public sympathy. on the
contrary, we congratulate ourselves that de-
spite general depression in business our sales
have been entirely satisfactory. Here are the
reasons:

means lowest price and liberal discount.
1--WE make n moderate and reasonable
profit on what we sell except on some lines
where the profit is so modest that IL is out OF
our sight.
3-We aim TO tell the simple truth about our
goods. Overpraise may make one sale, but
how about the next? We want 10 keep our
customers.
I've watch the market closely and keep
on hand the freshest and newest styles.
5-We have one price for all. Your little
child can buy as cheaply as you can.
1--WE do not expect you TO buy every time
you look. We want you to examine what we
have. We are always glad TO see you.
These are our cardinal principles. They will
tell in the long run. They have been very
advantageous 10 our BUSINESS Do you like

Fire I'm the Country.-on Thurs

Fire I'm the COuntry.-On Thurs
day morning the house occupied by
Mr.. William Butler, on the farm owned
by his father, Mr.. G. L. Butler, was en-
tirely destroyed by fire, together with
nearly all the contents. The morning
was rainy one, and it was thought
good time to burn the SCOT out of the
chimney of the kitchen. This was done,
and it is supposed that some of the
sparks got in the wood adjoining and
started the fire. When the flames were
discovered they had made much head
way on the bodybuilding. All the men
of the household were in the field at
work, and by the time they reached the
scene the main building had also caught
and was being consumed. In bureau
drawer Mr.. Butler had wallet contain
ing $40 in bank-notes, besides some
papers of considerable value, and
strong effort was made to get this,
but the flames and smoke prevented
and it was lost. Attention was then
turned to the furniture, and with the
help of peighbors who had arrived
small quantity was saved. The fire
consumed the house entirely except the
walls, which were Of sandstone, and
much of the furniture, ard all OF
the clothing of the occupants.
Mr.. William Buffers loss will not fall
much short of $500. He has the sympa-
thy of the community in his misfortune,
which seems especially severe in this
year of short crops. The loss of Mr.. Z.
II. Butler on the house will probably be
from $500 to $1,000. He will immedi-
ately rebuild the house. There was no
insurance on any of the property.

The Bridge.-Mr. Isaac w. Chap

The Bridge.-Mr. Isaac w. Chap
line has been appointed keeper of the
bridge at Shepherdstown in place Of
Mr.. d. S. Rentch, who has resigned.
Mr.. Chapline has entered upon his du-
ties. and we have no doubt will prove a
faithful and efficient officer. 1t is not
likely, however, that his duties will
prove onerous, as the extOrtiOnate rates
of toll charged for crossing the bridge
prevent any travel over it except that
which is absolutely necessary. No one
feels like buying bridge each time
he crosses. We understand the direc-
tors last week issued al order prohibit
ing all persons from crossing the bridge
without paying toll. Heretofore it has
been customary to allow persons who
were out walking for pleasure to cross
the bridge without paying toll, but now
everybody is required to pay five cents.
Fat men, we suppose, will be charged
ten cents.

From the Statesman:
On last Monday E. Clabaugh, of
Hedgesville, came to town and was
commissioned by some one to get six
cartridges for pistol, but was caution
ed not to load it. He disregarded the
caution, however, and loaded one cham
Der of the revolver. He was showing
the weapon to a son of Mr.. Joseph Belts
and it was discharged, the ball striking
another one of Belts children, passing
through the hand into the stomach and
out at the side. The child it is thought
will recover, but it is feared may lose
It's hand.
From the Independent:
Mr.. Tom. Lambert has curiosity on
exhibition in the barber shop on Queen
street. 1t is medium toad, petrified.
The reptile was found in a large open
box, which had stood in the yard for
wears. 1t was seated toad-fashion, on a
small piece of tin, and is as natural as
can be, but hard as a rock. Poor fellow,
he hadn't oughter jumped into such a
large coffin.
Edward d. Matthews, son of Mr.. VIM.
Matthews, of this place, and machinist
employed by the b. & o. at Riverside,
near Locust Point, was badly hurt at
$50 p. m. Thursday. He got on freight
train to ride home, and while standing
on the car step near Mount Clare, the
train suddenly stopped, and Mathews
was thrown off. The train started again
suddenly and caught his left foot under
the wheel. His toes and about half the
foot were mashed nearly off. The foot
was amputated, but the heel was saved.
