singular but True.

For several weeks past the cow of Mr..
j. S. Keller has been sick, eating but
little and appearing to be in pain. On
Thursday of last week Mr.. Keller OBJ
served the point of a wire protruding
about two inches through the cows
back, and taking hold drew it out six or
eight inches, when the cow became so
restless that he had to secure assistance.
Her head was battered and secured and
another attempt to draw the wire was
successful. TO the surprise of those
around, it proved to be an umbrella rib
near three feet in length. The cow did
not appear to suffer after the wire was
drawn, and at this writing she is rapid
ly improving and will no doubt entirely
recover. How did the wire get inside
the COW? is the question. Mr.. Keller
thinks she swallowed it while eating
hay in the winter, and that it worked
through the stomach to the surface

Prote.tapt Episcopal Council.

The Ninth Annual Council OF the
Protestant Episcopal Church for the
Diocese of West Virginia, assembled IN
Charlestown Wednesday, June I'd, 1886,
and continued in session four days.
There were in attendance, besides the
Bishop, all the Clergy, twenty in num-
Der, and thirteen Lay Delegates. AT
the opening service Wednesday morning
two Deacons, Rev. J. B. Fitzpatrick. OF
St. Adams, Kanawha county, and Rev.
H. II. Wirgman, of Jackson county,
were ordained Priests, the sermon bein &
preached by the Rev. c. G. Pearson, Of
Point Pleasant.
The Bishops annual address was read
Thursday morning, and as usual,
showed that he had done vast amount
of work during the past year, having
made, in West Virginia, SO visitations,
preached and made 236 sermons and adj
dresses, and confirmed 1876, on A occa-
sions, consecrated one Church, ordained
3 Deacons and one Priest. He also re-
ported that his efforts to establish
Hospital in the Kanawha Valley, had SO
far succeeded tina; property had been
bought and the hospital would be start
ed in "a small way early in the fall.
The Reports from the several Clergy
and Diocesan officers showed that the
Diocese was steadily advancing in pros
perlty and developing strength.
There were but two matters of special
interest at this council. One was the
Enrichments and Alterations Of the
PRAYER Book, which had been passed in
the last General Convention, and sent
down to this Council for consideration.
A full report was made upon this subject
by Committee appointed at the last
Council, OF which the Rev. Dallas
Tucker was chairman. This committee
reported In favor of adopting the greater
part of the alterations, and suggested
ONT changes which they considered
improvements, and, with but a few ex-
ceptions, their recommendations were
adopted. The discussion was quite spir-
tied at times, and developed a considera-
BILE diversity Of opinion on some points,
but the conclusions finally reached were
reached with Il decided approach to
unanimity.
The only other subject which excited
special interest WAS the election of Del
egates to the General Convention which
meets this fall in Chicago. This election
for some reason or other was spread over
an unusual length of time, and finally
resulted in the election of Rev. Messrs.
r. r. Swope, X. A. Gibson, L. X. Mason
and r. B. Cobbs, of the Clergy; and
Messrs. w. p. Craighill, n. 5. White,
Ri. McCandlish and Il. l.. Broun, of
the laity. The Alternate Delegates are
Rev. Messrs: K. ID. Roller, DR.. Il. Ii.
Lacy, Dallas Tucker and c. Z. Pearson,
of the Clergy; aud Messrs. X. c.
Berkely, G. w. Smith, Ed. !. Lee and
X. V. Hurxthal, OF the Laily.
The Council adjourned late Saturday
evening. The Tenth Annual Council
will be held at Weston, in Lewis county,
on the lst Wednesday in June, 1851

Fire at RawIey Springs.

The greater part Of Rawley Springs,
twelve miles from Harrisonburg, Va,
was destroyed by fire early Tuesday
morning. Tn emain building, known
as the Virginia House, the Washington
house, the dining, kitchen, bakery and
storehouse, the billiard hall, with all
their furniture, were totally destroyed.
The Baltimore House was saved. The
fire is supposed to have originated in
the kitchen or bakery. The insurance
aggregates $4,000. The Insurance was
upon all the buildings, including the
one left standing. The loss is estimated
at 100000. The Springs were to have
been opened Thursday. The buildings
will not be rebuilt this season. The
management will open the Springs and
receive as many guests as the remain
ing building will accommodate.

Decoration Day

decoration Day.-No especially
attractive programme had been ar
ranged for decoration day in Shep-
herdstown this year, but last Saturday
there was quite alarge crowd of strang-
ers in town to join with our people in
doing honor to the dead. At 2 O'Clock
the procession was formed in front of
the College, and Criswell's Cornet Band,
followed by a number Of ex.Confede-
rates and members OF the G.. A. r. of
Sharpsburg, marched to Elmwood Gem.
etery. Col. VIM. A. Morgan was officer
of the day. The exercises were opened
by prayer by Rev. w. G. Hammond.
Col. NJ organ then introduced the orator
of the day, E. j. Simpson, Esq, of Mar
tinsburg. Mr.. Simpson made most ell
oquent address. His remarks were
well-chosen, and he expressed most
beautifully the ideas he presented to his
hearers. He was listened TO most at
tentivsly, and at the close Of his address
was heartily applauded and congratu
lated. Col. Morgan read the roll OF
honor, and Rev. Mr.. Hammond pro-
nounced the benediction, after which
the graves Of the dead were strewn with
flowers. Two large floral pieces-one
representing the gates sjar and the other
a cross-were placed on the monument
and were very much admired. Capt,
Criswell's Band furnished appropriate.
music during the exercises. The large
crowd present was u very orderly one,
and the day passed of in the most pleas
and manner.

Each week brings
new attractions at the
Varieties.

We have received two barrels of
prime Syrup, to be sold at 4Oc per
gallon; this gives us a variety you will
find in no other house in town; three
different kinds of Molasses at 4Oc.
You can doubtless see our object in
this; it is to please all tastes; some
like one kind and some another.
There was q big crowd In town on
Decoration Day; consequently, a
rush at the Variety Store. We were
amused at some of the remarks made.
One lady from the Ferry wanted to
see the Sugar We were selling at &c.
After examination, she pronounced
our goods better than she had gotten
for SC and &c.
Another asked the price of our
Children's Slippers. When informed
the price was zoo, said! Chow can
you sell them at that price? | bought
a pair in Martinsburg just like them
and had to pay sl.0O.
Another, a gentleman from Mary
land, after looking at our Sugars, &c,
said he had to pay Sc for the same
Sugar in Hagerstown.
We had callers from Leetown, DUFF.
fields, Shenandoah Junction, and
many other places, to whom we sold
goods. They say they will not pass
Shepherdstown by any more.
We want, just here, to say word
about the merchants in Shepherds
town. They are live, energetic, ac-
commodating set of fellows, and if the
people will but give them chance
they will find it to their advantage to
deal at home, where they can get
goods as cheap as in Hagerstown,
Martinsburg, or anywhere else. We
can speak positively for one, the pro-
prietor of the Variety Store; his motto
is: to sell quick, at short profits, and
keep the thing moving. If you do
not believe it, give him chance to
convince you by calling in and seeing
for yourself,
The new arrivals this week are as
follows:

A Celebrated Cause.-The now
celebrated case of James NJ. Mason VS..
The Harper's Ferry Bridge Company
came up again for trial in the Circuit
Court of Jefferson county, last week,
before Judge Faulkner, on an issue as
to Mason's right to recover $l.25 per
day from the company while the bridge
remained closed. AT the time said
bridge was constructed over the Shen-
andoah river, at Harper's' Ferry, Mason
brought suit for damages 10 his ferry,
and obtained verdict for $l0,0 900. The
case was taken to the Court of Appeals,
and while pending there, the Bridge
Company entered into contract with
Mason, whereby they agreed to pay
him $l.25 per day and open the bridge
for travel. The Supreme Court sus-
tanned the verdict of the lower Court
and ordered the Bridge Company to
pay the SIC, 900 or close the bridge. In
the meantime Mason sold his award of
damages to syndicate of Jefferson
county capitalists, who obtained from
the Circuit Court an execution against
the Bridge Company for the $4,000
damages. The company then applied
to the Supreme Court for an injunction
to stay proceedings OH said execution,
which injunction was granted, and the
case was again carried to the Court of
Appeals, and the injunction perpet-
uated. The syndicate then notified the
Bridge Company to close the bridge or
pay the damages. The company elected
to close the bridge and did so, and upon
the right OF Mason to receive the $l.25
per day while the bridge remained
closed, the Gaze came up for trial at
the present term. After long and
ably contested trial the jury found a
verdict for the defendant. The plaintiff
has signified his intention of appealing,
and the case will 60 to the Court of APP
peals for the third time. Able counsel
were employed OH both sides, plaintiffs
being A. w. Mcdonald, Il. c. Green
and Frank Beckwith; defendants, ID.
B. Lucas, George Baylor and William
III. Travers.

Lumber Yard.-Messrs. Trussell

-
& Hess are about to start what has long
been needed in Shepherdstown-a lum-
Der yard. They have fenced in and are
piking their large lot near the railroad
station, which is admirably located for
the purpose, and are now getting in
supply Of lumber to meet the trade they
hope to have. Ii is their purpose to
keep on hand a well selected stock of
rough and dressed lumber of every de-
scription, and they will sell at as low
prices as can be had anywhere. We
hope they will be literally patronized
by the public. Their business standing
in this community is too well known to
need any recommendation from us.
Mr.. It. l.. Hess will have charge Of this
branch of the business.

Shepherd College Commence.

SmcRmCT0 OVAsC0O
ment.-Last week witnessed the clos
ing exercises of Shepherd College for
the year just closed. On Wednesday
night the address before the two Liter
airy Societies was delivered by the Rev.
DR.. Norcross, of Carlisle, Pa, which
was very scholarly production, well
delivered, and was highly enjoyed and
appreciated by most.of the audience.
His subject was "'The Hebrew Script
ures." On Thursday night the Eon.
Henry S. Walker addressed the Alumni
Association. His subject was 'The Ed
vocational and Material Development of
the State" and it was presented in
very forcible style and eloquent man
ner. He spoke for more than. an hour
and was listened to with great atten-
ton. At the conclusion of this address
the anniversary exercises of the associ-
alton were opened by an Grafton from
William j. Knott, on "The Influence Of
Time" delivered in an animated and
forcitle manner. The essay by Miss
Alice II. Smooth, on eve Girls" was
read in pleasing manner and was
highly enjoyed by the audience. "The
History of the Class Of 1884," by Miss
George Lee Johnson, was an interest
ing and instructive address, but owing
to the confusion caused by persons leav-
ing the church and the low tone of the
reader, it was lost to most of the audi
ence. 1t was so good that We would
like to give our readers some extracts
from it, if it were possible to do so. On
Friday night the following Orations
were delivered and essays read by rep
resentatives from the Literary Societies
"Our Duty as Young Men," by Walter
L. Herr; "Monuments," by Enoch II.
Vickers; "Waiting," by Ada V. Broth
erton, innovations, by Lizzie Bos-
well. The following orations were de-
livered and essays read by members of
the Graduating Class of 1886: "The In
fluence of the Press" by James X. Hen
bricks; "The Permanence of Influence"
by Jacob F. Fulk; "The Harp of Life"
by Nellie X. Bennett. After the delivery
of the orations and the reading of the
essays, Prof. II. j. Woofter announced
the distinctions won during the year
and presented the graduates to the Pres
ident of the Board of Regents, who con-
ferred upon them the Normal diplomas
authorized by the Regents. The exercises
were closed with prayer and benedic-
ton by the Rev. ID. NJ. Moser. The ex-
ercises throughout were interspersed
with music by Criswell's Silver COrnet
Band.

they burned, and broke into whiskey

contents. They had several bloody
fights with the police, and many per-

Don't Waste It.-Walnut lum


DONE Waste It.-Walnut lumber
is an article steadily increasing in value,
and farmers possessing walnut trees
should see that they are not split up for
rails or used for fuel. Thousands of
feet have been shipped to eastern cities
this spring, readily bringing from thir-
ty dollars to forty and fifty dollars per
thousand when put into market. AS
the soil in many parts Of this country is
especially adapted to the growth of the
walnut, would it not be good thing to
plant out number of young trees each
year? A forest of walnut trees would
be worth more, in many cases. than the
farm.
