Dabney, of Point Pleasant, swallowed
knife blade. Local physicians could
not afford her any relief, and she was
taken to Cincinnati and placed under
the care of surgeons, who, after long
treatment, gave up the case and her pa
rents returned home. Two weeks ago
she was taken with pneumonia, accom-
panied with paroxysms from coughing.
She dislodged the knife blade, much to
the relief Of her parents and she is now
on the high road Of recovery. One end
of the blade was encrusted, while the
other was perfectly bright.

No Work, No Feed.-The tax
payers of this town have been doing
some grumblne about feeding tramps
at the public expense, and we think the
new Council should make some regula-
tons to abaie the nuisance. If it is nee
essary to feed them they should be
made to work, for they will spread the
news that Shepherdstown is soft place
for tramps-that they are housed and
fed without being made to do anything
for it. The record shows that at nearly
every meeting bills have been presented
for board for tramps, sometimes reach
ing as high as eight dollars. The tax
payers object to further bills of this
kind.

missionary sIeeting.-The first

missionary Meetlns.-lne HfeI
anniversary meeting of the Women's
Home and Foreign Missionary Soci-
ety." in connection with the Lutheran
Church, announced in last weeks
REGISTER, proved to be a most de-
llghtful occasion. The pastor of the
church presided, and after the usual
opening exercises, the Recording Sec
rotary, Miss Bette Byers, read con-
densed reports of the Core
spending Secretary and Treasurer.
These reports were of the most encour-
aging character, showing that the first
year had been one of great success.
The Society was organized April 4th,
1885, with % active members, and the
following ladies were chosen to fill the
various offices: President, Mrs. John
Keplinger; Vice President, Mrs. Jos.
Stonebraker; Recording Secretary,
Miss Bette Byers; Corresponding Sec
tary, Mrs. Charles d. Keplinger; Treas
urer, Mrs. Rev. D. NJ. Moser. The
year closes with an active membership
of about 80 and the reelection of all
the old officers.
The interest in the work never fla
ged throughout the year, and the Treas
urer's report shows the handsome sum
of $s2 90 contributed during the year,
all of which was secured by regular
monthly offerings. Following this re-
port, select choir sang beautiful
quartette, entitled ''Hasten, Lord, the
glorious time,' after which Mrs. Ada
Keplinger, in very pleasing way,
read an interesting and carefully pre-
pared paper on "Woman's Debt of
Gratitude for the Gospel" Mrs. Bette
Spohn and Miss Sallie Richard then
sang a duet, "Tell it Again, or Saliva
TONS Story" when Miss Ida Folk in
very effective manner rendered a
beautiful selection written by Mrs.
Sangster, entitled san Appeal" A
soprano solo, "The Persuasive Voice, y
was then sung by Mrs. Bette Spohn,
and the second paper, prepared by Miss
Coopsie Keplinger, on the subject OF
"Woman's Devotion" was read by
Miss Ella Kelsey. The paper reflected
great credit both on its author anu
the one who read it, for both the mat
ter and the manner in which it was
read were impressive. Mr.. NJ. E. Spohn
and Mr.. William Keplinger then rem
dered the duet, "Sowing and Reap
ing" The music throughout was eX-
ceptionally fine and was very pleas
ing part of the programme and was
well received by all.
The pastor in few moments briefly
reviewed the years work for encour-
agement and inspiration, and urged all
TO take renewed interest in the work.
The congregation then joined in the
doxology and the Lords Prayer, ana
the benediction was pronounced by
the Pastor. Thus closed what proved
TO be to all present very profitable
and interesting service, and we feel
sure that year hence those then pres
ent will not be found missing if it Is
possible to get there.

Annual Repori.-Thc annual re-

Annual RepOri.-Thc annual re-
port of the Luray Cave and Hotel Com
pany has just been prepared and sub
United to The stockholders. 1t shows a
large falling of in the humber OF cave
admissions and in revenue. The cave
admissions tor 1885 were 9,9l1, or 3,74S
less than in the year 1881. The greatest
number of admissions in any year was
1895 i'm 1883. While the volume OF
business has SO heavily decreased, the
expenses for repairs, wages, Insurance,
taxes, etc have increased over the ex-
penses for 1884. The operating expenses
exclusive of interest OH vendors liens,
etc., were s9,027.4 which equals &c
per cent. of the earnings. The Company
has invested Il total amount Of 1884 ,OS9.-
70 in it's hotel and Cave property i'll Luz
ray, and has never paid dividend, and
entire net earnings for five years hav-
ing been consumed in making payments
OH account of the purchase money. This
is very discouraging experience. 1t is
very noticeable that the proportion Of
visitors from great distances is greater
and greater every year, while the num-
Der of visitors from the territory adjacent
to the Caverns has so greatly fallen of
as to be almost nominal. 1t is also note
worthy that the visitors on cheap ex-
cursions from points situated Oh lines
which connect with the Shenandoah
Valley Railroad fell off nearly 60 per
cent. in 1885.

Shot N Swan.-Last Sunday morn
ing three swans were seen on the bank
of the river opposite Shepherdstown,
and Mr.. /. w. Chapline got near enough
to kill one of them with shotgun.
The others took to flight, and Though
they have been seen several times since
no one has succeeded In getting shot
at them. The one Mr.. Chapline killed
is beautiful bird of spotless white and
measures from tip to tip of its wings 6
feet z inches, from tip of bill to tail 1
feet and inches, and weighs 30 pounds.
Swans are rare birds in this locality.

An Experiment.-Several of our
farmers, among them Messrs. Ii. b.
Snively and a. G. Huffer, have tried an
experiment in raising wheat, that thus
far bids fair to be grand success. Ow-
ing to the shortness of the wheat stalk
last harvest, many heads of wheat were
lost in the gathering of the crop. Each
of the above named gentlemen after
preparing their grounds for fall seeding
aud waiting the time to sow the seed
had field that soon became green with
growing wheat. They decided chat it
was unnecessary to sow any more wheat
on these fields and allowed them to re-
main without the addition of any more
seed. This wheat has sprouted and
branched and we are Informed that the
prospect for an abundant yield on these
fields is equally as good as on any
wheat field in the neighborhOod. The
result of this experiment will be closely
watched .-Boons6o, Times.

The New HOse.-It is very evident
that Shepherdstown will soon have
what it now needs badly-a sufficient
amount of hose to be able to afford pro-
tection from fire to nearly all the prop
erty in the town. The retiring council
passed an order to devote certain
amount for this purpose, and the new
council on Monday appointed commit
tee to the same end. The town already
owns 600 feet of hose, and needs not less
than 400 feet additional. Ifthis is gran
ted Shepherdstown will be amply pro-
tected from fire, for the Fire Depart
ment will; we think, obligate itself to
purchase reel, which will complete
its equipment.
In this connection we will state that
an earnest effort will be made To in
crease the interest in and efficiency of
the Fire Department. 1t is desired that
every business man and all who find it
possible to do 50 will join the organize
ton, aud by their Influence strive to
build it up. 1t is certainly to the inter-
est of every person who resides in this
community to see that there is an eff
cient and well-equipped fire company,
and we hope all will lend the movement
their encouragement.
