Her interesting little daughter Ruth

Mr.. j. w. Miller, our handsome and
accommodating merchant, is now
stocked with goods of every descrip-
ton. Anyone wishing to procure
bargains, will do well to call on him.
So the snow drifts seem to be on
the abatiDg order. Sorrowful hearts
for some, and gladness for others, so
the way the world goes. Some con-
tented with their lot, whilst others
are disconnected and faithless.
Many of our neighbors contemplate
moving to distant regions in the
Spring. We regret to lose them, but
we console ourselves by the reflection
that others will gain by our loss.
An accident which might have PROV
ed fatal happened near this place last
| week. AS Mr.. M. l.. Payne and Miss
Leila Payne were returning home
from your city, their horse became
frightened at a load of logs standing
| along the pike near the Gerardstown
| road, and ran with great violence,
breaking one wheel entirely off. Miss
Leila was somewhat bruised, and
Mart was scratched about his face con-
siderably. am glad to state the ac-
cident was no worse, as it might have
been the death of both. Mr.. Samuel
Mohler repaired the damages, and
both are around as usual.
Mr.. Chas. Cunningham, an interest
ing young gent of Cedar Creek spent
last Monday with Mrs. John Gardner.
Mr.. Chas. Lamon, who has been SER
iously ill, is now convalescent.
hope he may soon be able to have his
many friends glad by listening to his
merry voice, and basking in the sun
shine of his smiles.
There is talk of organizing litera-
ry society at this place. We hope it
may be carried into operation, as no
doubt it would prove great benefit
to the young men here.

Gle in question, and give it fair and

1t would seem to be a truth appreciable by
all, and especially by professors of the healing
art that to remove the disease, not to alleviate
its symptoms, should be the chief aim of med
ication. Yet i'll how many instances do we
see this truth admitted In theory, ignored in
practice. The reason that Hostetters Stom-
ach Bitters is successful in so many cases, with
which remedies previously tried were mad
equate to cope, is attributable to the fact that
it is a medicine which reaches and removes
the causes of the various maladies to which 1t
is adapted. Indigestion, fever and ague, liver
are not palliated merely, but rooted out by It,
1t goes TO the fountain head. 1t is really, not
nominaily, q radical remedy, and it endows
the system with an amount of vieor which is
its best protection against disease.

| beg leave through the columns of
your valuable paper to make a cor
rection in reference to the decision of
the judges at the meeting of our liter
airy society, Jan. Dist. Your cores
pondent here, signing himself "Hawk-
eye Bachelor" has written you an in
teresting and pithy communication,
in which he touched upon the pro-
ceedings of our meeting, and wound
up by saying that he "would omit
the decision, owing to its unpopulari-
ty." To make matters plain: the
subject, Resolved. That intemper-
ance is more destructive to country
than war;" was discussed and the de-
cision rendered in favor of the affir-
native. / make this statement out
of respect to the judges. To allow the
phrase, its unpopularity," to go un-
noticed would show disrespect for the
judges, and would reflect dishonor up
on them and would in time prevent
US from having judges, all thinking
that their decisions would meet with
disapproval. The decision alluded to
was no doubt unpopular with those
on the negative side of the question.
Perhaps the writer was one of them,
as we all generally squeal when the
shoe pinches. The writing of that ar.
ticle reflects much discredit upon the
writer. / sincerely trust that the
would be Bachelor" if he has a
Hawkeye," may refrain from writ
ing anything so pernicious in the fu-
ture. If he cannot write The truth,
then | say, let him not write at all.
