COMMUNICATED.

Messrs. Editors.-I noticed in your
last issue that our Fire Department
intends to hold a fair during the Holt
days for she purpose Of raising raising
funds to secure q hose-oart. l am glad
to see that our young men are taking
an interest in having well-equipped
fire organization. Now as the young
men are taking such interest in this di-
rection by devoting their time and labor,
and are willing to do the work and to
risk their lives to save the property OF
the town, ought not the property-hold-
ers, and in fact one and all, take part In
the enterprise and make it a grand sue
cess? The so-called hose-cart they have
will not hold over five hundred feet OF
hose. If the Department is called to
fire and find they are short OF hose,
they are compelled to return to the En-
CINE house and tug upon their backs
sufficient hose to reach to the fire. Now,
don't you think it is necessary to have
a cart TO hold one thousand feet Of hose !
the majority Of these young men are
not property.holders and have nothing
at stake. Should we not put our Shout
ders to the wheel and give them our aid
in this noble purpose? Now, when their
committee calls on you for contribu-
ton, do not give them rebuke, but
give them your means and encourage
ment. Remember that you are not
doing this for their personal benefit, but
you are only putting these equipments
in their hands for your protection. Do
not think these equipments are used as
toys. If you think so, just join their
organization, and see what fun there is
in it. have seen how the boys have
been tugging the hose around the streets
upon their backs and rubbing and clean
ing the engine in order that they may
be in trim when called upon. have
never envied their position, and to those
who do, say 60 in and try it. Now
they deserve our encouragement by our
contributions, so let US aid them.

Aceident.-Last Saturday while
Mr.. Jacob L. Hoffman and his father,
Mr.. David Hoffman, were driving home
they met with an accident which might
have had very serious result. They
were driving a colt, and while going
down the big hill on the Cement Mill
road they lost control Of the animal. AT
the bend in the road, instead of turning,
the horse went straight oil over the ter
ribly steep and dangerous hill at that
point, carrying the vehicle and its occu-
Pants with him. He came to sudden
stop in leagues Run, the carriage turn
ing a complete somersault at the waters
edge. Strange to say Mr.. Hoffman and
his father escaped with very slight In
iuries. The carriage was badly broken
I'D, but the horse was not hurt much.
This is quite dangerous point, and
these gentlemen were lucky to escape
so we'll.

Fifteen years ago the buffalo ranges
OF Kansas and Colorado were covered
with thousands of these animals. The
other day party went out from Denver,
and afteI a weeks hunting managed to
kill three from herd of twenty-nine
that they found in Lost Park. 1t is said
that there are not more than 1000 buff
faloes now in existence. Systematic
slaughter has produced this shameful
result.

Shrinknge.-An exchange has
this to say upon the subject: Farmers
rarely gain by holding on to their grain
after i. is fit for market when the
shrinkage is taken into account. In six
months from the time it is threshed
wheat will shrink two quarts to the
bushel, or 6 per cent, under the most
favorable circumstances. Hence it fol-
lows that "a cents bushel for wheat
the Goth Of this month is as good-tak-
ing into account the shrinkage alone
as 81 the following February. Corn
shrinks much more from the time it is
huskcd. One hundred bushels Of ears.
as they come from the field in October
or November, will be reduced to not far
from eighty. So that forty cents per
bushel for corn in the ear, as 1t comes
from the field, is as good as nfty cents
in March, shrinkage only taken into &C
count

Look After the Chimneys.

Look After the Chimneys.-
All chimneys should be attended to ear
ly every fall, if housekeepers would
avoid the fright and danger of their
taking fire. Many valuable home
stead has been destroyed from negli-
gence in this matter. SCOT accumulates
very rapidly, and much sooner with
some kinds of wood than others, and
there is also a difference in the coal. If
the chimney takes fire. the readiest
means to stop it is to apply a wet table
cloth, hearth-rug or blanket to the
whole front of the crate or fireplace,
and either hold or pin ir close into the
jam, then lift up the bottom far enough
to throw pail of water on the fire. If
a pistol is fired up chimney it will
bring quantities of SCOT, and it is an
easy way to clean out small chimney.
A few handfuls Of salt thrown into the
fireplace or CRATE will put out the fire.

The Telephone.-We understand

The Telephone.-We understand
that arrangements have been about con-
cluded for the extension of the tele-
phone to Shepherdstown. The Emm-
ner Telephone Company of West Vir.
ginia, with headquarters at Charles
town, is the one that proposes to build
the line. They already have a system
in working order at Charlestown and
at Martin sburg, and will connect those
two places by way Of ohepherdstown,
coming by Shenandoah Junction to
this place. At a special meeting Of the
Town Council last Thursday permission
was given the company to erect its
poles and wires in Shepherdstown. 1t
is thought that the work Of building the
line will be commenced at once and
rapidly pushed to completion.

A Fine Rain.-On Tuesday MORN
ing the long-looked-for and needed rain
came to break the drought which has
prevailed in this section for some weeks
past. The farmers have had II fine sea-
son for preparing and seeding their
ground, and now the rain will bring
the wheat up splendidly and give it u
good start before winter sets in. 1t had
been dangerously dry and parehed, and
sparks from locomotives have done
damage in all directions by firing the
grass and burning fences and in some
cases barns. Cisterns and running
streams had also gotten low. and pas
lures dried up. Now all will be re-
newed and refreshed.
