All our brag shots are getting ready for
the hunting season. The breach leaders
are being taken apart and carefully clean
ed, empty shells are looked up and loaded
and the dogs are taken ont carefully
trained for an hour or two each day. The
season promises to be an unusually good
one, partidges will be plenty, and all other
game will likely be found in abundance.
Unless our sportsmen, however, are care
fnl how they conduct themselves they
may find that they are shut ont Of most OF
the hunting ground. We have some hun
ters among us who don't seem 10 have any
regard for the rights Of the owners of the
land over which they hunt; don't car'
how many fences they break down ant
leave so, how carelessly they shoot around
houses, stock and teams, and then curs'
those who object to being treated in thi
rough, brutal way. It would be well FOL
our real spOrtsmen to see after this elias
Of rufllans and help the outraged farmer
and land owners to bring them TO justice
1t will pay them in the end and give then
much more ground TO hunt over and will
insure them polite treatment from thos'
whose lands they shoot over.

Broken full of holes from end to end, ends
Of boards loose and sticking up, making
so many traps to TIP the unwary and

The Woodstock Cornet Band, a new
musical organization was formed on Mon
day night, and have gone to work in dead
earnest. The members that have been so
far enrolled are, Robt. J. Walker, Presi-

and Leader, Chas. w. Fravel, +. A.
Ramey, J. II. Hines, Jas. X. Bausernan,
WI. Supnger, L. J. Supnger, c. w.
Brooks, VIM. Morrison, Linn. Irwin G. S.
Gill, and Harry i. Hartman. Most of
these parties are old musicians, perfectly
familiar with the use Of instruments. They
promise to furnish our people music at all
times and on all occasions, and will try
hard to merit the approval Of the citizens
generally. As the material in this or
ganzation is Of the very best we may
reasonably expect them to give good ac-
count of themselves, and hope to soon
hear the strains of sweet music on Our
streets during the pleasant evenings Of
autumn.

Probably in no other way can the great
progress of our county be noticed than in
the rapid and substantial growth of the
little villages or hamlets scattered over it,.
During the last few weeks we have had
occasion to visit st. Luke, Saumsvlle,
Maurertown, Toms Brook and Mt. Olive,
and in them all we found the march Of
improvement manifested to a striking
degree. New houses have sprung mp on
every side, most of them being very
handsome dwellings or store rooms. Old
buildings have been repaired and repaint-
ed until they look like new, while large
yards handsomely paled in and filled
with shrubbery and flowers, can be seen
around most OF these pretty homes. Every
thing wears the appearance of thrift and
content, while the hand of industry can
I've seen in every direction. Notwith'
standing the hard times and the low prices
of grain, all the farms through the
county show unmistakable signs of pros
perity in the shape of new houses, barns
fencing, &c, while the glitter of tin roof
in every direction show that our people
do not intend to sacrifice durability and
safety for the doubtful saving of penny
in the start. But above all shines ont
brighter than ever the well-known hos
pitality Of our Shenandoah farmers. Al
the hard times that have befallen the
world since the food would never take
one particle of this nobly generous trait
ont Of the hearts Of our good people Of the
grand old county. Just cross your leg
under the dinner table Of a Shenandoah
farmer, smack your lips and be happy
for you have before you a dinner gooC
enough and plenty enough for king
and above all, remember that you are
really welcome. God bless the good OLD
farmers Of Shenandoah and their kindly
motherly wives. No better people evel
lived on this earth, and the more you sec
of them and the better you know Them
! the more will Won like them.

What IS to be done with the lot of young
ruilians who disgrace this town. We
wish the fathers AID mothers Of some of
these boys could have been at the depot
on Wednesday night where they would
have witnessed the most disgusting cxhi-
bition Of young rufianism that has ever
disgraced this or any other town. The
solitary lady who occupied the waiting
room was forced 10 appeal to them repeat
eddy TO have some respect for her, and
their response TO her appeals were such
that Mr. Chapman, the agent, was com-
PEELED to call for chief of police, Frayel,
who cleared the room Of the yonng brutes.
If the mothers Of these boys should visit a
strange town and be treated by gang Of
young roughs as their boys treated this
unprotected woman, we feel sure that the
fathers would be instructed to look after
them little better in the future. The
next time such disgraceiul affair occurs
in our town We intend 10 publish the
name Of every hoy engaged in it, without
fear, favor or affection. II will probably
open some peoples eyes.

Mr. Beiamin Irwin, an aged citizen Of
Columbia Furnace, this county, and
father-in-law Of Mr.. L. c. Haas Of this
place, met with an accident few nights
since that resulted in his death within
twenty-four hours. II seems that one of the
hands from the Furnace came to awaken
another hand who was boarding with Mr.
Irwin, and he being suddenly aroused by
the noise got up and, in the dark, unfortu-
nately missed his way, and fell down a
steep pair of stairs. At first it was
thought that his injuries were only slight,
but in short time unfavorable symptoms
set up and he passed rapidly away. The
deceased had been n forgeman for many
years at both Columbia and Liberty
Furnaces, and was highly respected by
all who knew him. He was - years and
% days old, and leaves many relatives
and friends to mourn his unexpected
death.

An OId-Time SchOOl-Master.

A hundred and fifty years ago,
among the German settlers of Penn
sylvania, there was q remarkable old
school master, whose name was Chris
topher Dock. For three days he
taught school at little place called
Skippack, and then for the next three
days he taught at Stafford.
Whenever one of hts younger schol-
ars succeeded In learning his A b G,
the good Christopher Dock required
the father of his pupil to give his son
a penny, and also asked his mother to
cook two eggs for him as treat IN
honor of his diligence. To poor chill
dren in a new country these were fine
rewards. At various other points IN
his progress, an industrious child in
one of Docks schools received a PEN
ny from his father and two eggs
cooked by his mother. All this time
he was not counted u member of the
school, but only as on probation. The
day on which boy or girl began to
read was the great day. If the pupil
had been diligent in spelling, the mas
ter, on the morning after tho first
reading day, would give ticket care
fully written or illuminated with his
own hand. This read; industrious
one penny" This showed that the
scholar was now really received into
the school.
There were no clocks or watches;
the children came to school one after
another, taking their places near the
master, who sat writing. They spent
their time reading out of the Testa-
ment until all were there. But every
one who succeeded in reading his
verse without mistake stopped read
ing, and came and sat at the writing
table to write. The poor fellow who
remained last on the bench was called
a Lazy Scholar.
The funniest of Docks rewards was
that which he gave to those who made
no mistake in their lessons. He mark
ed large o with chalk on the hand of
the perfect scholar Fancy what a
time the boys and girls must have had
trying to go home without rubbing out
this O!-FrOm a "SchoOt of Long ago."

Fighting. Ancient and Modern.

The only difference between ancient
and modern armies is the application
of steam, gunpowder, and dynamite
very great one in appearance, but
not SO much SO in reality. Modern
armies do not need To be SO large in
the field as ancient armies; yet it is
very questionable whether fewer peo-
pie are required for an effective war
in modern times than of old. The
men who make the powder and dyna-
mite and the girls who fill the
cartridges are quite as much part and
parcel of a modern army as the SOL
diers who fire them off, and run pref
ty nearly similar risks. The methods
of modern warfare are exactly the
same as of ancient warfare, and rela-
lively not much more effective, though
just as coarse and brutal. The long
bow was quito as effective weapon
as the rifle, aud modern cannon do
not seem to be any great advance on
the 6dltsts and battering-rams of the
ancients. In naval warfare we have
actually gone back again to one of the
most ancient naval maneuvers, that
of ramming. The siege trains of the
present day are just.as cumbersome as
siege trains in times when, as the BIZ
BILE tells us, Mountains and hills
were made low and valleys exalted;
when rough places were made plain
and the crooked straight" Science
has not yet said its last word on the
adaptation of natures secrets to re-
sistance against rapine, carnage and
wrong. whether exercised by nation
against nation or nations against in
dividuals. Even new substances are
known to chemists which it only needs
finer mechanical skill to make into
efficient and invincible agents for de-
Tending civilization against barbarism
and savagery. What secrets may be,
and no doubt are, hid in the womb of
nature, and are willing to be revealed
by the hand of science, can only be
cOnjectured. But we may be sure of
this much; that the higher the civiliza-
tion and the more developed the intel
lect of the future the more hopeless
will become the attempts of needy and
adventurous barbarians against the
well-belng of rich and highly civil
lied nations. If the Romans had left
to Britain with their civilization a
body of physical knowledge similar
TO that even of to-day, the Saxon con-
quest would have been impossible.
