Last week party stopped at "Cliff
Cottage" MRS. HI. P. Tasker's) who
were enjoying rather romantic tour.
1t consisted of Mr.. and Mrs. Finley,
and the Misses Ayre, from GAINESVILLE,
Ohio. Possessing an amount of cheer
full courage and determination. they
departed from the beaten routine of
summer travel, and marked out a
path for themselves, aided by Hdr
pers inimitable sketches. "By- Paths
in TIE Mountain" They were charm.
ed with their novel experience at
Blackwater ard other points. gener-
ally considered inaccessible to ladies.
They fished, sketched, walked, rode,
abode in tents or dwelling houses as
the mood took them. Probably many
rich, laughable incidents were stored
with which to regale the ears of those
at home. Their pleasant experience
may lead others to follow the by.

The New Railroad.

Mondays Baltimore Sun says:
1.-The Piedmont and Cumberland
Railway company, an auxiliary of
the West Virginia Central, has isSu-
ed $500, 600 mortgage percent bonds
to pay the cost of construction and
equipment. The road is to be 81
miles long. connecting with the West
Virginia Central at Piedmont, and
running to Cumberland. The feature
of public interest in connection with
this announcement of this loan is the
fact that contract has been made
with the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany under which at least One-half of
all the traffic of the West Virginia
Central and Piedmont and Cumber-
land roads must he given to the Penn
sylvania road. Tne Pennsylvania
agrees to set aside 8 percent nf the
gross receipts from freight traffic as a
guarantee Of the interest of the new
loan. The covenant is signed by
Henry G. Davis, president of the
West Virginia Central; Stephen B.
EIkins, president of the Piedmont
and Cumberland and George B. Rob.
erts, president of the Pennsylvania.
By this agreement the West Virginia
Central will become an important
feeder of the Pennsylvania system at
Cumberland"

ELLICoTT CITY, Md, 6 8, 1884.
Dear Sir II nave been sufferer
for long time with dyspepsia. and
have tried most everything in the
way of medicine, but nothing gave
me any relief. I procured one bottle
of your "ARoMANNA," and had only
been taking it about six days when
began to feel it was doing me good.
I told a number of nv neighbors
what it had done for me and they
commenced using it, and all agree
with me that it is the only medicine
that will do all that it is recommend
ed to do. One thing about "ARo-
MAMMA" while it is acting and
cleansing the system it does not weak
en-. but builds up, adds new strength
and imparts new vigor. / do not
think can say too much in favor of
it. You are free to use my name in
any way you see best, to proclaim the
merits of "ARoMANNA." 1t will pay
any sufferer to try it.

only seven were found in the direc.
tory of 1776. The net gain of the
year has been 666. The daily news
papers number 1,2l6, a gain of 80.
There are about 1000 periodicals of
all kinds which presumably enjoy a
circulation of more than 5000 copies.
The increase in the rural weekly
press, comprising about twO-thirds of
the whole list, has been most marked
in states like Kansas and Nebraska.
Kansas is also accredited with the
greatest gain in daily newspapers. In
Massachusetts the weekly press is
growing, but magazines and monthly
publications are losing ground. The
tendency of this latter class seems to
be toward New York city. as at least
twenty.three monthly periodicals
have been established here during
the year.
Among the many newspapers pub.
lished in this country. almost every
social movement and industrial In.
terest finds expression. A glance at
the long list reveals many curious
facts. There are about 700 religious
and denominations newspapers, near
y e.thlrd of which are published
in New York, Philadelphia, Boston
and Chicago. New York is far ahead
in this respect, while it will be sur
prise to many to know that Boston
is behind Chicago.
Three newspapers are devoted to
the silkworm six to the honey bee
thirty-two to poultry; eighteen to
dentistry ; and nine to photography.
There are three publications issued
in the exclusive interest of postage
stamp collectors, and one of dancers.
The prohibitionists have 129 papers,
and the liquor dealers s. The organs
of women's suffrage number 7, of
candy makers 8, of gastronomy 8. and
gas 2. Of the foreign newspapers,
there are about 600 in German, and
~ in French. New York. New Or
leans, and Worcester, Mass. each has
four French publications. Two dailies
are in Bohemian. Besides these, there
| are papers in the Swedish, Finnish,
Polish, and Welsh, languages. There
is one publication in Gaelic, one in
H sbrew, one in Chinese, and one in
the Cherokee language. --Scientjfc

The Growth of Newspapers.

The wonderful growth of American
newspapers is shown by a COMPARE

in 1856 and in the present year. The
one contains in its sixteen small pages
a list of thirty-seven newspapers

10 years ago. The other is almost
as large as an unabridged dictionary,
and in its 1000 pages contains the
names of IA. 100 nespapers and period

Trade on the hill to day was only
fair. The quality was of a rather bet
ter average throughout than last
week, there being in proportion to
the numbers-of which there was an
increase of 755 head-more good cat
tie than last week and fewer, and not
as common, of low grade. Prices
were off ! to to-. and, in few in

err, most sales from 8 to 4s. Of the
offerings 1874 head came over the
Pennsylvania Railroad, and AS over
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
HOGS.
The offerings, numbering some
$500 head less than on last Monday,
constitute fair supply and about
equal to fairly good demand. The
quality is not as good as it was last
week, more grass hogs being among
them. Prices show little or no vari-
alton from those ruling last week.
and now range at 606ic. for common
hogs and grassers, and 6i@6a for the
better grades, with most sales at &c.
net. Prices same tine last year at
607tc.. and the year before at 1851.
OF the offerings 500 head came over
the Pennsylvania Railroad, and Sc
by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
SHEEP.
The Offering, though some 600 head
less than last week, are fully equal to
a very slow demand prevailing in all
the yards. The quality of the offer
ings shows a falling off in that regard
from that of last weeks receipts.
Prices for sheep range from 2 to &C..
less lambs 3(05t, with few at either
extreme; NEST sales 33(95. Stock
sheep are quoted at 81 50(9S2 so per
