A Bull That Gave Milk.

In recounting the good qualities of
improved herds of cattle in Maryland,
the Baltimore Sun of Sept. 9th con-
tanned the following remarkable yet
we'll attcsted story:
The Shoemaker herd which was
valued at something over 100000
has been broken up. At its head
stood ''rhe Black Prince of Linden"
magnificent animal, who, in addi-
ton to his value for stock purposes,
gave milk like COW from four WELL
formed teats. A representative of
the Sun who is also n man of science,
went.to Burnside, Mrs. Shoemaker's
place, in Green Spring Valley, and in
the presence of witnesses MIXED the
animal, so there could he no dispute
about the matter in the future. The
bull had never been attended to with
any view of developing his milking
popularity, but there is little doubt
that with proper attention he would
have given sufficient milk of the rich
est character to supply a small family
The skin of the animal was of the
richest color and the milk would oc-
casionally drop from his teats rs he
walked. 1t was in this way attention
was first called to his milking quail

From the Courier we clip the fol
lowing:
Mrs. Catharine Grove died at her
residence in Long Marsh district, on
Friday last, at the advanced age OF
nearly 81 years.
Mr.. Louis Brown, confectioner, has
won quite reputation as a caterer.
At the reception held on the occasion
of the Crisp-Vandevanter marriage,
and also that of the Beckwith-Mc-
Donald marriage, he furnished the
table supplies, in n manner creditable
to him and the parties who engaged
him.
a meeting of the stockholders OF
the Shenandoah Valley Hedge Co. was
held at Martinsburg on Monday, when
it was decided to remove the Office OF
the company to BerryviIIe, a point
regarded as much more central for
the operations of the company than
Martinsburg. a meeting will be held
next Monday for the election of of
ficers, when a well known and ener-
getic gentleman of this county will be
elected president of the company.

ARemedy for the Cabbage
Worm.

An experiment tried by G. c.
Young, of Henry county, Ohio, results
in the Discovery that unleached wood
ashes prevent the ravages of the cab
bage worm and the deposit of eggs by
the millers. He says: II took dry
unIcachcd wood ashes, full strength,
and splashed right on top of each
plant, from n half to a full shovelful,
determined to kill the worms if it
killed the cabbage (Which was sure of
total destruction in any way, if nc
better remedy could be found than
has been applied), and to my satisfac-
ton and almost astonishment, the first
application proved a radical cure, kill
ing almost instantly every worm
touched by the ashes. took pains
to jar the plant by hitting it lightly
with my foot, to shake the ashes tho
roughly between the leaves, to be sure
to make soap of every worm. The
plants were not only uninjured by the
ashes but started with new life and
energy. The swarm of millers which
had constantly lowered over the patch
seemed to leave in disgust, and no
further trouble was experienced for
several weeks. but rapid and I'M
molested growth of the plant ensued. -

The following we copy from the
Statesman:
Vanclevesville item: Misses Jessie
and May Cockrell. of Harper's Ferry,
were visiting their sister, Mrs. John
Underdonk, last Sunday.
Mr.. Joseph b. Vanmetre still has
the faithful steed that bore him in the
army; he is now thirty years old, but
is remarkably frisky for his age.
Mr.. II. \. Riddle has been pro-
NOTED to the position of Gen. Passen-
ger Agent on the c. V. r. r. This
is deserved promotion, for Mr.. Rid
die has worked faithfully and eff
ciently for the road as chief clerk in
the Gen'l Superintendent Office,
where he fully demonstrated his per-
feet fitness for his new position.
From the Independent:
Mr.. Sewers, tenant on the old Fryatt
farm, was severely lacerated by an
infuriatcd boar on Friday morning.
The animal attacked him in u field
and after getting him down, gored
him in fearful manner, tearing out
the muscles of his leg and making
cash six inches in lenth and quite
deep. The injured man finally at
tracted the attention of n member of
the family. and the animal was driven
off. Mr.. S. is in very critical con-
ditiOn.

We desire to say for the benefit Of
the Fairmont West Virginidn that
:. the man who is reported through
the Morgantown Neo0 DoD1iaion as
having reflected the sentiments of
Judge Flick, respecting the Congress
sional nomination" knows exactly
what lie is talking about. He lived
for two or three years, recently, in the
same town with Mr.. Flick, and is on
quite intimate terms with him, and
has heard him sey that no Republic
can in this district could beat Mr. Will

Winchester and Vicinity.

From the Times we clip the follow
ing items:
The Friendship Cornet Band has
been engaged by the Encampment
Drill Association of Baltimore to ac-
company them on their trip to Bos-
ton September 18th.
Mr.. C. w. Hollis lost fine porkcr
of cholera Monday. 1t weighed at
least 45O. Mr.. Dan Anderson, and
Mr.. Johnny Haines lost fine hogs on
Sunday from same disease.
From the Nescs:
One night last week the residence
of Miss Portia Baker was entered by
burglars and a quantity of costly sill
yer ware stolen.
Mr.. Baldwin Walker died at the
residence of his brothcr-in-law, Mr..
VIM. r. Alexander, on Thursday
morning. Mr.. Walker was son of
Rev. Cornelius Walker, who for many
years was Rector of Christ (Episco-
pal) Church in this town.
Mr.. Charles Broadway Rouss still
keeps up his generosity to his old
Winchester friends and admirers.
The latest we have seen from him was
a short and sweet letter to that excel
lent musical organization, the Union
Cornet Band. Its notes were as
sweet, if possible, as any music the
boys could blow, and the harmony
was doubly enhanced by check for
$50. 1t is needless for us to remark
that the members of the Band speak
in the highest terms of Mr.. Rouss, OF
New York, and wish him the most

BT ALFRED PERcIvAL GRAVES
Only an old musician,
Wasted with cruel care,
Climbing, wearily climbing,
thronging gallery stair;
Only q peoples concert,
Crowded from roof to floor;
Only fair girl singing
They never had heard before.
Only a brave girl ending
Only au old world song,
Only glad girl bowling
To the plaudits, loud and long.
Ali but the same voice lifted
Anew in q strange, sweet strain;
All! but passionate silence
And rush of tears like rain.
Only daughter singing
Only that old mans tune.
All but gush of music
Like the nightingale in June.
Then sudden storm of cheering
From the heart of that mighty throng,
Aud a glad girl clasping the father
She has saved by only song.

SURPRISES. wonderful showings. Machinery

accomplished very little is said beyond the not
too encouraging statement that the Company has
accumulated great deal of machinery.
Toward the end of his rambling report NJ. de

palpably. lie says that although everything
hitherto done has been for the best, yet 1t Is
found necessary to modify the plans of cOnstl1c-

method of intimating that so far no plan of deal

necessary to change the whole scheme, substitut-
