The Burelar..-The burglars who


made raid on Shepherdstown last
Wednesday night seemed to have been
making a tour of this locality. The
same night they broke into the Balti-
more & Ohio depot ut Duffields, bu, as
the money-drawer had been removed
by the agent they got nothing for their
pains. 1t is also reported that the
burglars went through a number Of
houses in Sandy Hook, Nd, and were
also in Williamsport. The Martinsburg
st atesman also tells Of them. 1t says:
"Four stores i'm town were entered on
Tuesday night, by certain light fingered
gentry, to the owners unknown. Messrs.
j. Eastman, NJ. A. Snodgrass, b. +.
Bailey, and John A. Bowers were the
parties to whom they paid their respects.
The object of the robbers seemed to be
money and nothing else, but they got
very little, as merchants are not in the
habit Of leaving much money in their
stores over night"
The burglars were also in Charles
town on Friday and Saturday last. The
Spirit says that the money drawer of
Mr.. +. A. Gaunt was robbed while he
was at dinner. The shop of Mr.. d. A.
Phillips was broken into and a chisel
and anger stolen. The store Of Mr.. w.
S. Merchant was entered Saturday night
and about fl3S taken from his desk
$40. 80 of the amount being a check Oh
Hagerstown bank, drawn by Mr.. +. X.
Shindel, and the remainder in notes
and specie. Entrance was effected by
forcing open side window and getting
into a back room, and from thence Dor
ing around bolt and opening a back
door Of the front store-room.

A Great Victory
A Terrible Case Of scrofula
Cured by
Hoods SarsapariIIa

In the winter Of 1873 was attacked with
Scrofula in one Of the most aggravating forms.
At one time had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and aroundmy neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass OF
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable TO endure. II is impossible
10 fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years OF misery, having been treated by
three physicians, was worse than ever.
Finally, on the Recommendation OF W. ].
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, was induced
TO try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles. within the last
twelve months. the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less do not know what IL may
have done for others, but l do know that In
my case, Hoods Sarsaparilla has proved an
effective specific indeed. As an evidence of
my gratitude send these facts unsolicited,
and ! am ready TO verify the authenticity Of
this cure, by personal correspondence with
any one who doubts it.n CHARLES A. ROB-

A Sham Wedding Trip.

Fashion demands that when young
people marry they shall go away on q
wedding trip, which means no small out
lay OF cash.
A couple recently married felt this
pressure. but conceived a scheme by
which to thwart the process Of custom
and save the item of expense. They
went to the station. accompanied by q
party Of friends, and boarded a train
with Good-byes said all around. the
friends extending the regulation wishes
for safe and happy tour.
But the couple didn't remain on the
train. Oh. no! They walked through
the ear and out at the end opposite that
at which they entered, and getting of
on the opposite side, sped down Water
street around to their home, where they
remained in seclusion for a week, while
their friends thought them away enjoy
ing the honeymoon.-[Springfeld (Mass.)

| The mere sight OF shark chills the
| blood, SO villainouS is his look, so ra-
pacious the leer which he casts up at
| those who look down at him
OF shark there are many kinds, most
o: them aho inably ugly, but few Of
them with u sort OF fierce beauty in their
shape. Id Q marks upon them. Such
is the fin-tail, whose color is cinereous,
streaked in some parts with red and dot
ted with small black spots. Such too is
the sea fox, a it used to be called, u be
me i'll tn Mediterranean, ana remark
able for the great length AID elegance of
its tail, the body being about feet and
the tail 6 feet long.
But the most substantial horror of the
deep is the white bark, often 30
feet long, and Of an average weight of
about 1000 pounds. 1t is described as
having mouth furnished with six fold
row Of teeth, fiat, triangular, sharp at
the edges and finely serrated. When the
shark is in state of repose these dread
full teeth remain fiat in the mouth, but
when 1t seizes its prey, these rows Of
grinders rise like the tabled growth Of
deadly weapons from the soil.
1t is not very surprising that out Of
this grim and merciless companion of the
mariner sailing under tropical heavens,
many quaint and striking super
stitions should have been evolved. For
ages seamen have reSarde 4 it as a crea-
ture Of i'll omen. They believed it ca
pable of seeming a victim. even though
he should be perfectly well and without
suspicion of his death being close at
hand. and that it would follow a ship
that had dead body in her for leagues
and leagues.
OF its voracity there is no end to the
stories told. A French naturalist asserts
that it prefers white men to black, which
we believe, is pretty we'll known; but he
goes on to pay us as people, a curious
compliment, by saying that of all per-
sons sharks like Englishmen most.
The same gentleman declares that
shark cut open at Marseilles was found
to contain man clad in armor in it's
stomach, while inside of another shark
there was found whole horse!
It is comforting to read that the shark
Is kind to its young, taking its infant
into its stomach in case of danger One
would think such an act OF virtue entirely
above sharks moral nature, and that
if it ever did swallow it's offspring it
would be rather to digest it than TO pre-
serve it.-tLondon Telegraph.

he had not really known the true mean
ing of misery.
He loved Geraldine Alton. and she was
| betrotaed to another man!
Betrothed! But did she love that
other?
With wildly-tea.ing and triumphant
heart, Alfred asked hinscli hat ques-
ton: or in her eyes he rad sometimes
dared 10 read something that seemed to
say his passion was underste Oh and not
resented.
But what Of it? Was it not worse,
ten times worse, to know it might have
been and yet could never be- She was
promised. by her own consent, to an
other; and how could he even
care to look the love he might not
speak?
"Oh, for the days when carried a
bod on my shoulder, and slept at night
SO sOurdly that cannon at MY ear would
scarce have walked me- This very day
will tell Mr.. Alton Of my presumption
and OF my misery. He will forgive me,
and 1t me go.
Alfred was already on his way to an
interview with Mr.. Alton, when the
sound of his own name. uttered in a
voice he knew and hated, fell on his
ears. It came from the sitting room,
the door of which he was passing,
and at the next words he stood still,
as II his feet had been glued to the
toor.
Yes. ! own it, / do love him r
said Geraldine's voice ''And / have
Seen In his eyes that he loves me-not
the fortune l might bring him, as you
do Murray, but myself, and for myself
alone"
"Oh. indeed, how dislnterested! But
I doubt it, dear" sneered Murray.
However, suppose you try him, Ger;il-

cried Alfred. Come to me renniless. as
you stand, in that lai.. W. egown, and
will work for you as man lever worked
before, for / love you as man never
loved before!"
The words were spoken and Alfred
was standing by her side before he had
taken time to think and she hid her
face on his shoulder, blushinS and
murm'.r ring:
Alfrei, Alfred! l did not mean that
you should hear me. But since you
love me- don't care, for mean every

"Hs. hn !" answered Murray. g Has

And without another word Murray
found himself escorted to the street-door
and politely placed on the outside OF it.
Mr.. Alton did not return to his daugh-

his way to his own apartments. he said
with laugh:
