Miss Maggie Kerns of Martinsburg
is visiting friends in Berkeley Springs.
Will Nolte, who broke his leg while
pulling off his boot about two weeks
ago, is improving as fast as could be
expected
Our friend, Will Buzzerd, of Mar
tinsburg, was at home this week at
tending Court. He reports being well
pleased with his new situation.
Our new member of the County
Court, John Frederick, Esq, took his
seat on the bench Monday. He is a
live business man and will make an
excellent officer.
Mr.. John Strother, son of Gen'l
David FL. Strother, has returned from
Mexico for the purpose of attending
school at Peekskill in New York.
We were pleased to receive call
from Hon. John j. Hetzel on Mon
day. He reports business fourishing
at Paw Paw, and says they are run
ming 1900 sides of leather in their tam
merry per week, and no reduction in
wages has been made. This don't
look much like the tannery is to be
closed soon.
We are Informed that son of Mr..
Matthias Ambrose fell from one of
Squire Billy Widmyer's horses near
Mt. Tabor, on Sunday last, and the
horse tramped on the unfortunate
boys head, breaking the skull and in
fiicting very dangerous wound
From latest accounts he is said to be
improving.
We copy from the Van Vert Daily
Bulletin of the 22d ult., the following
particulars concerning the death Of
j. w. johnson, of Scott, Ohio, who is
a first cousin of our J. w. johnson of
Berkeley Springs:
Mr.. J. w. Johnson, of the firm of
johnson, Miller & Co., of Scott, O.,
was the victim of a heart-rending ac-
cident, yesterday about noon. Mr..
Johnson was seated in the room ofthe
house alone, while his wife and
child were in an adjoining room, when
an explosion was heard. The wife
hurried into the room whence the re-
port came and found her husband un.
conscious, with his right eye torn out.
A number of brass shot gun cartridges
were found lying about the floor and
the supposition is that Mr.. johnson
was endeavoring to pick the cap off
of one of these deadly instruments
when it exploded. 1t is also thought
that it was the brass shell of the car
fridge which did the work and enter
tered his head, as there are no marks
about his person of shot from the car
fridge, and no marks of powder, such
as there would have been had he re-
ceived the load from the cartridge
Mr.. johnson did not speak nor recoy-
er consciousness after the accident oc-
Cured. He fingered until this morn
ing at nine O'Clock, when death ended
his sufferings. He was aged about
twenty five years. The wife and
child thus bereft. of a husband and
father have the heartfelt sympathy OF
their neighbors. Mr.. Johnson was
an enterprising business man and a
good citizen, and his death is q loss
to the whole community

"a Ignorant ColOred Woman the vic

A dastardly swlnde perpetrated about
two years ago on an ignorant cOlored
woman named Ellie Bowles was brought
TO light for the first time yesterday. The
woman by hard work and economy had
accumulated several hundred dollars
which she deposited in the Freedman's
Savings Bank, the greater portion
of which she lost. The dividends.
which amounted in time to up
wards Of $500, were collected for
her by John Il. Deveaux. Her expert
ence with the Freedman's Bank had
SHAFT red her faith in banks generally,
and instead OF depositing the money she
kept it tired up IN a bag and concealed in
her house. She occasionally added TO it
by taking In washing from the shipping.
About two years ago she did some
washing and n1endfng and other work for
