A Novel Sale.-Probably the great

Novel Sale.-Probably the great
est business event in Hagerstown for
the wear 1886 will be the great "Rcm-
nant Sale" advertised by the Messrs.
Updegraff in this issue of the REGISTER.
A $4,000 remnant sale is a novelty to
communities of that size, such sales
being usually confined to the large
stores of the cities. iiagerstown has
some right to put on city airs. There
are not many larger stores in the cities
than that of the Messrs. Updegraff
These remnant sales are made to clean
ont All the odds and ends as well rs all
such stock as becomes unreasonable
during the Spring and Summer seasons.
At these sales buyers profit immensely
by the low prices. While those holding
the sale may not be able 10 count up
any profit, they are compensated with
the fact that it enables them TO put in
an entire new stock for the season fol-
lowing, and thereby make up the loss.
The novelty of the sale and the we'll
known enterprise of tie Messrs. Upde-
graf, who never 10 things by halves,
will no doubt attract buyers from all
directions.

DYSPEPSIA.

Seden,aiy ilaJi,s, mental worry, nervous
excitement, excess or imprudence in eat
ing or drinking, and various other causes,
induce Constipation followed by general
arrangement of the liver, kidneys, and
stomach, in which the disorder Of each
organ increases the infirmity OF the others.
The immediate results are Loss Of Ape
tite, Nausea, Foul Breath, Heartburn, Flat
ulence, Dizziness, Sick Headaches, failure
Of physical and mental vigor, distressing
sense of weight and fullness in the stomach,
and increased Costiveness, all Of which are
known under one head as Dyspepsia.
In every instance where this disease does
not originate from scrofulous faint in the
blood, AYERS PILLS may be confidently
relied upon TO effect a cure. Those cases
not amenable TO the curative influence Of
AYERS PILLS alone will certainly yield IL
the PILLS are aided by the powerful blood
purifying properties Of AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA.
Dyspeptics should know that the longer
treatment of their malady Is postponed,
the more difficult of cure II becomes.

Thunderstorm.-On last Monda

Thunderstorm last Monday
night this locality was visited by a gen.
currence for the month of January. All
day Monday there was rain, accompa-
MED by warm south winds, and between
six ard seven o'clock in the evening the
lightning flashed brilliantly for nearly
a half hour, while the thunder sounded
sharply. A heavy shower of rain, ac-
companied by hail, fell during the
storm. The Potomac rose quite rapidly,
though no damage of any account was
done. Reports from Pennsylvania give
accounts of very high water and great
loss of property.

An Optimistic View.-Mr. Jas.

An Optimistic View.-Mr. Jas.
D. Butt, of Harper's Ferry, is very en-
thusiastic in his expressions as to the
future of that town, as will be seen by
the following newspaper statement
which is credited to lin. We sincerely
hope that all the predictions will be full
filed, but we fear Mr.. Butt is drawing
rather extensively on his imagination.
He is quoted as saying:
81 predict that within five years from
this time the sleepy old town of Har-
per's Ferry will be a bustling city OF
sc, 900 inhabitants, with industries as
extensive as those of Wheeling, Pitts
burg and other manufacturing centres.
The magnificent water power in the
Potomac and Shenandoah which form
erly furnished the motive power for the
government, is estimated at from 10000
to 7O,OOO-horse power. Nowhere else
in the country, except at Niagara Falls,
can such vast power be put to work at
so small cost, and with the millions at
our command we hope to turn out man
ufactured articles from watches to rail-
road rails, much cheaper than can now
be done elsewhere, even with the new
fuel-natural gas. We shall open our
first factory about July l, and others as
soon as possible thereafter"

closed contract with the New York,

n. noon tina, science ha. Conferred

Has been fraught with greater blessings than
that which has accrued to the inhabitants Of
malarial ridden portions of the United States
and the Tropics from the use OF Hostetters
stomach Bitters. The experience of many
years has but too clearly demonstrated the
inefficiency of quinine and other drugs to eff
fectually combat the progress ofintermittent
congestive and bilious remittent fevers, while
on the other hand, ii has been no less clearly
shown that the use of the Bitters, medicine
congenial TO the frailest constitution, and de-
rived from purely botanic sources, affords
reliable safeguard against malarial disease
and arrests 1t when developed. For disorders
OF the stomach, liver and bowels, for general
debility and renal inactivity, IL is also most
efficient remedy. Appetite and sleep are i'm
proved by 1t, it expels rheumatic humors
from the blood, and enriches a circulation I'M

One night last week fire broke out
in the Hannis distillery, at Martins

The Holidays.-The Christmas

Inc HOt100yS.-Ine CnrlsCmas
Holidays passed off in Shepherdstown
in an unusually quiet manner. The
only public amusements were the
Christmas entertainments Of the various
Sunday Schools. These were of an in
teresting character and were largely at
tended. The Lutheran Sunday School
presented the cantata "Santa Claus,
and the members of che school sustained
the parts in the most creditable manner.
Several bands of masqueraders made
the rounds of the town, their costumes
being exceedingly fantastic. Notwith-
standing the Mayors proclamation for
bidding them, fire-crackers, pistols and
guns were used to waken the sleepy
echoes on Christmas and New Year, and
no one objected to the noise. There was
less drunkenness than usual during the
holidays, only few of the cold regu-
lars" getting more than they could
carry. Capt. Criswell's Cornet Band
and the colored band were out several
times and discoursed sweet music,
much to the qualification of the people.
New Years morning the Shepherd Fire
Department turned out in full uniform,
headed by drum corps. Their mag
nificent Silsby steam engine, drawn by
two gray horses, fairly outshone the
sun in its dazzling brilliancy, and when
it was set to work later in the day for
practice, threw water in splendid style.
In the afternoon the Colored Odd Eel
lows had a parade, headed by the band.
The merchants generally report an ex-
cellent holiday trade, Notwithstanding
the hard times.
