More Weather Predictions

Mr.. A. J. De Voc, meterologist, who
resides at Hackensack, n. j., commune
Gates with the New York Sun hi
weather predictions which, whether true
or false, are interesting. Quite num-
Der of people, says De Voc, have come
to the conclusion that we are to have
mild, open winter; but they will be
mistaken; for about the 27th we will
enter the most severe storm period of
the winter. About that date two Sc
we're storms will move across our CONT
nent from west to east. A severe snow
storm will occur, extending from the
Hudson River, westward, and railroad
travel will be all blocked up; so parties
having goods to send West from New
York city should ship them without de-
lay, so that they will reach their desti-
nation before the 9th. He also pre-
diets severe cyclones and snow storms
for New Mexico and the Gulf states
which will be very destructive TO cat
tie. The cold blast from the South will
reach New York about the first of jan
uary, which he predicts will be an ex-
tremely cold month.

Roatmen I'm a Fight.-A serious


fight took place between two boatmen
on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal near
Harper's Ferry last Saturday. George
w. Reed, better known as "Link" Reed,
son of John H. Reed, living near lock
No. 80, was shot in the face, neck anc
scalp by F. II. Reynolds, well-known
boatman. Reynolds bad been cunning
for rabbits, and upon his return left his
double barrelled shotgun lying on the
deck of boat, which he intended to
clean after taking a rest. During his
absence a large stone was started from
the Maryland Heights by George W..
Reed and Till Greenwalt, who were
chopping and rolling wood, which
struck Reynolds boat and broke one OF
the matches. When the two men came
down Reynolds said to Greenwalt,
"Why didn't you let me know that you
were going to get wood at this point,
and I would have moved my boat?''
Before Geenwalt could reply Reed said;
els it any Of your business"" 9th
er words not very complimentary were
spoken, when Reynolds said: "Lay
down your axe and I'll resent your re-
mark" Reed lay down his axe and APP
preached the boat, when lively tussle
ensued. Reed broke loose and sprang
for his axe, and administered blow on
Reynolds hip when he was climbing
on his boat. His gun laid before him,
which he quickly drew on Reed and
fired, two shots taking effect in the
neck, two in the left cheek, one in the
temple, one through the left ear, and
quite number in the scalp. DIR. Cock
rell was summoned and dressed the
wounds. Reed has quite reputation
for imbroglios, while Reynolds is known
as a quiet, peaceable man, yet very de-
termined.

To Stop the Sickness.-A di:

To Stop the Sickness.-A dis
D atch from Martinsburg says that at n
special meeting Of the City Council the
local board of health and three physi-
clans, who had been notified to enquire
into the cause Of so much sickness in
the community, made their report.
After thorough examination of the
streets, sewers and streams of the city,
they arrived at the following cOnclu-
sion: The Tuscarora, small stream
flowing through the center Of the city,
was found to be partly filled with filthy
and decomposing refuse. The sewers
and cutters of the city were also found
to be anything else but clean. A large
cinder bank near the b. & o. railroad
shops, which has been burning for
more than year, has, during that time,
been emitting carbonic gas, which has
proven very deleterous to the health of
the community. Most of the sickness
is traceable to these three causes. The
council at once appropriated 81 900 to
the work of thoroughly cleaning up the
city, which work will commence at
once

Lost Child.-The Grafton Standar

"Ou Thursday morning Mrs. Fletcher,
of Martihsburg, arrived in this city with
her four children, ranging from six
years to two months. Her destination
being Cherry Camp she stopped over

she concluded to visit Mrs. Weekly who
lives on East Main street. When she
returned to the depot to take the even
ing train she discovered that one of her
children, a boy of six years, was miss

COMMUNICATED.
TEMPERANCE.

Messr,. Editors.-Please accept the
hearty thanks of very large class of
your readers for the Independent and
manly course that you have taken upon
the temperance question. We are proud
to know that we have newspaper in
this end of the State that is not under
the domination of the liquor interest.
We look upon it as one of the most
hopeful signs Of the times. Well may
it be said of the REGISTER (and it is said
BY very many of our best people, that
1t is the "best paper in the county" 1t
certainly does speak out in clear and
uneuuivocal tones In the interest OF the
home against the saloon. We are not
surprised to find the liquor people kick
ing against this relentless exposure Of
their deadly work. The ''hush" policy
always has been, and must Of necessity
be, the policy Of the saloon. Anything
else means death or destruction to them.
No; we do not want people to send
their sons here to be educated in those
public schools Of drunkenness. Let pa
rents know the truth of the liquor pol
lev. When we have emancipated the good
old town from such unsavory and dis
gushing holes, then we can with some
conscience urge people to entrust US
with the education Of their sons. The
writer who signs himself with the
somewhat euphonious sobriquet of
"Vindicator" grows virtuously indig-
nant that sober people should lift up
their voices in earnest protest against
the enormous amount of drunkenness
among the young men Of the commu-
nifty.
If he proposes to vindicate the disas-
trous work of the saloons in town, it
looks very much as il he would have his
hands full for some time. Instead Of
advising the young man Of "a weak and
nervous temperament" not to imbibe,
how would it be If he refraineG from
setting the fatal example of taking
what lie somewhat facetiously calls
"social CLASP
In regard to his manner of taking the
same, we would simply say we are glad
to know that there are a large class of
young men who DO not glory in their
own shame; and who, though unfortu-
nately addicted 10 drink, feel a deep
sense of degradation in taking it, and
shrink from the gaze of righteous
public sentiment that has set the seal of
its condemnation upon it.
The true cause Of the depression Of
business among saloons may be found
in this, viz: First, in the scarcity of
money; and secondly, in the fact that
good many men have grown weary of
giving al honest days work for an hon.
est days pay, and have longed to share
the enormous but ill-go.ten gains of the
few saloon-keepers. Thus by cutting
up the business they find that they can
not afford to live in style aud keep sew
eral assistants
Let the REGISTER continue in its bold
and fearless style TO reflect the senti-
ments OF the rank and file of the sober,
respectable people of the county. Such
is the function OF a respectable family
newspaper, and such the REGISTER
claims to be. PROSECUTOR.

County News.-We clip the fol-

Mayor little has issued his edict
against the ShepherdstOwn boys firing
Il squib or turning whirligig in the
Christmas holidays. Never mind
boys; Just come over to Charlestown
and we will allow you TO have lots Of
fun, and shoot squib or two in the
bargain-just so you don't get too wild,
You know. But then Brother little
never was boy anyhow, and that ac-
counts for his being so hard on the boys
now. Give him serenade. as the
Stanton boys did their Mayor several
years ago, and that will fix him.

BRIEFS.

If YOU want TO make handsome pres
ent to an absent friend, send them the
REGISTER for year. Then they will
remember you at least once a week.
The Mayors proclamation forbids the
firing of crackers, squibs, &C., at Christ
mas, but it is not likely that many i'm

do enjoy themselves-provided they are
discreet and don't 90 beyond proper
hounds.
The express business has been some
thing enormous for the past week. With
packages coming and packages going
Agent Barnhart has had as much as he
could do. The railroads have been taxed
to their greatest extent to transport the
goods safely and quickly.
There was quite an exciting scene at
Boonsboro, Nd, Tuesday night. A
house used as gathering place for dis
reputable white and colored people was
raided by party of masked men, who
tore it completely to pieces, thus quickly
getting rid of an intolerable nuisance.
AS an answer to the author or authors
of "Vindicator's" rather lame apology
last week, we refer "Vindicator" to
the Mayors book, where he will find a
record of last Saturday nights shame
fu, behavior. Sometimes even "one So
cial glass" is too much for the callow
youth who takes it.

A Midnight Inquiry-A rather
funny incident occurred in Shepherds
town a few nights ago. The door-beli
of the house of one of our prominent
merchants was rung violently about
midnight, and the whole household
was aroused. Visions of kilograms tell
ing of dying or dead friends or dreadful
accidents flashed through the minds OF
all, and no little alarm WAS occasioned.
A window was raised and inquiry made
of the person ringing the bell. Then
up through the gloom came still small
voice saying: "Mr. Richard, have you
any butter to sell!"
Mr.. Richard was just out OF butter.

airy horse, but was captured from Gen.
Banks by Jeb. Stuart's cavalry in 1862 :;
he was shot in the foot at Bolivar
Heights, and went through various
hands. He finally recovered, and passed
into the possession of Mr.. Jacob S. Mo-
Ter, a member of General Rosser's brig
ade, who kept him until he died. His
eye was bright to the last, though he
was turned out to grass some time ago.
