Get the New Hose.-The COM
mittee appointed by the Council at its
last meeting to make inquiry az to the
need and cost of four hundred feet Of
new hose and new hose carriage will
probably report at the meeting of the
council next Monday evening. We hope
the committee will make a favorable re-
port and that the Council will agree to
purchase the hose and carriage, as we
believe beth are needed. If this is done,
Shephcrdstown viii have perfect fire
equipment, and will be well prepared
to fight successfully any ordinary fire.
AS it stands at present, in many parts
Of the town fire could not be reached
with the hose from any available water.
The owners OF such property, although
they pay taxes, could not receive par
ticle of benefit from the fire engine. With
four hundred feet Of additional hose
any house within the corporation could
be reached. Another point is that if
any of the town cisterns should become
empty they could be easily filled from
the town run with the steam engine.
Give us the new hose and carriage, and
the fire-fiend will go to Middletown, or
some other place where the people do
not think Il fire engine necessary.

spr;nr Medicines.-At this sea-

son of the year, ssysthe New York %
serrer, one is liable to pass through
period OF what some of my friends call
spring fever. The Spring generally
brings an altered condition Of the blood.
All the old spring medicines admins
tered by our mothers and grandmothers
to their children were called forth by
this fact. But the disagreeable doses
so faithfully forced upon the juveniles
were not always necessary. a course
of oranges will prove as effective and
certainly more palatable than the nau-
seous doses of our childhood. AT this
season of the year let children eat all
the oranges they care for. If taSSn
daily before breakfast so much the bet
ter. II the fruit is little sour it will
not be distasteful to little folks. They
have a natural craving for something
tart. A grateful dish may be mace by
pesling oranges, taking off every atom
of white skin, and cutting them up into
small pieces. Sweeten with sugar, and
YOU have dish that is ut once tasty and
healthy. A little grated cocoanut adds
much to the appearance.

Esq, and Or. n. B. Scott their interest
entire in what is known as the Antietsm

opposite the courthouse, and extend

the rate of $4,000 for the one-third in
terest, which would make the aggregate
value of the property in its present form
$4,000. Ex-Governor Hamilton also
owns the White property, having pur-
chased this of Judge Syester some time
ago. 1t is understood that ex- Governor
Hamilton purposes replacing the pres

piled throughout with other conyen-

Immediately surrounding the root end

They produce mostly small potatoes,

My usual method is to set one man to
cut off the root end, AMI another TO cut
of the "eye end" thus forming three

hogs. My great trouble is to get them
cut close. All the waste flesh goes into
heaps for cattle or hog feed Country

The Wheat Crop.-Most of oul

The heat SrOp.-MoSt OF our
exchanges have something to say about
the condition Of the wheat crop, and
from them We learn that in Virginia
and parts of West Virginia and Mary
land not much more than half a crop
will be realized. Virginia seems to be
less fortunate than our own State, for
we hear much complaint from there. In
our own county Of jefferson the wheat
is i'm a fair condition, generally, al
though bad fields may be seen. A prom
inent agricultural implement dealer in-
formed us that the wheat in Jefferson
county is forty per cent. better than any
where else in the Shenandoah Valley,
and he has travelled over the territory
and observed. 1t is even better in this
end Of the county than in the lower end,
one reason being, probably, because we
had good rain here last fall which they
missed at seeding time. Around Shep-
herdstown the wheat looks as well as it
usually does at this season. Our farmers
have not as much cause for complaint as
many in adjoining counties, and we be-
lieve they will reap Il fair crop if the
season is favorable from this time Oh to
harvest.

m. shenandoah Valley Rail

rOad.-Last week the New York COM
mittee of Shenandoah Valley Railroad
first mortgage bondholders issued cir
cular which shows that the gross earn
ings of the road decreased last year
SIP ,O44, while the operating expenses
decreased s49,147. These expenses. the
circular says, are far beyond what they
should be, station expenses being
charged at sl67 1882, when under eco
nomical management, they should not
have been over $4,000. BY the rum
ming Of night trains loss of $50, 900 per
annum was sustained, experience show
ing that the traffic did not justify the
expenditure. The circular points out
that by independent management asav-
ing of sl45,362 per annum could be
made-$95, 2S2 in general business and
$50, $50 III passenger traffic. 1t holds
that with prudent management the
road. with its present business, should
pay seven per cent. on $lo,O0O mile'
or in the case Of the revival Of trade on
1915 900 mile. Under the charter no
holder of bonds has the right to insti-
tute any suit in equity or in law for
fore closure unless the holders of ma
iority of the bonds outstanding shall
Join in the proceedings.
The circular concludes with the state
ment that the road is very badly mis-
managed and advises the bondholders
to thoroughly investigate its condition
before accepting any compromise. IL
also asks holders of securities for their
cooperation. The circular was sent TO
all the bondholders. The officers OF
this company attribute the losses of the
road to the decrease of mining indus
tries in the Shenandoah Valley.
The stockholders of the Shenandoah
Valley Railroad met at Roanoke on
Wednesday. The best feeling prevailed,
and there was full concurrence in the
appointment of Mr.. Sydney Tyler as re-
ceiver of the road. Mr.. Tyler and the
old board were reelected, with the ex-
ception of j. W. Marry, of Richmond,
vice NJ. Steele, of Philadelphia.
