CORRESPONDENCE
HEDGESvILLE.

Our genial County Surveyor has
purchased property here, Of Mr.. Wal
lace, and is now here making arrange
ments to repair it. Mr.. Wallace will
return to England.
Mr.. Hamilton Myers has just fin
ished repairing, repainting and refur-
nishing his house. He is now ready
to accommodate all who call, either
by the meal, day, week or month.
The ladies Of the Episcopal church
began a festival, for the benefit of
their church, on Thursday evening,
and will continue through the week.
Mrs. Stewart, daughter and son, of
Wheeling, are visiting the families of
Mr.. John Ell. Miller and DR.. Mitchell.
Mr.. Way, of Bedington, has taken
up his abode in the house recently
occupied by Miss Sallie Speck.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geyer are visiting
friends in Middletown, Va.
Mrs. Collier has been i'll for sew
eral days, but / learn she is improv-
ing under the treatment of DR..
Mitchell.
Our Southern Methodist friends
held their annual festivities on the
10th inst. The church was crowded,
the singing was good, and the exer-
cises were conducted by their eff
cient superintendent, Mr.. NJ. c. Ma
denbousch
1t does occur to me that the cause
of christianity would be greatly en-
HANGED if our Methodist friends
would bury the old war Ratchet, wipe
out their political prejudices, close
up one of the churches, and all wor-
ship together as in days of yore.
The cause of their separation has
been settled long since, at the ex-
ponse Of blood, life, and to many,
their homes, and all that made life
worth living. There is certainly
something wrong somewhere; either
in the teachings of the Bible or in
the course pursued by that one
church in two branches. c.

The Workingmen Revolt Against the
Democratic Party Because of the Veto
by Gov Hill OF the Saxton Bill.

The labor men are roundly de-
nouncing Gov. Hill just now. The
veto of the Saxton Electoral Reform
bill is considered direct blow at the
Labor party in this city, and is like
ly to cost the man from Chemung
and his party good many votes this
fall. Henry George, who was the
chief advocate of most of the features
of the bill, was not to be seen to-day,
but some of his followers were and
they were very angry. They charac-
terized the Governors excuses for
vetoing the bill as insufficient and
claimed that it was mainly because
the Labor party had demanded it,.
1t would seem that some important
results may flow from the Governors
action, and one of these may be q
large gain for the Republican party
in districts where the labor vote is
strong. The friends Of the bill say
they will not only vote against Mr..
Hill, but that they will also vote
against the Democratic party.-Neao

until all arrearances are paid.
8. If subscribers neglect are refuse
TO take their periodicals from the Of
flee to which they are directed, they
are held responsible until they have
settled their bills, and ordered them
discontinued.
4. IF subscribers move TO other
places without informing the publish
ers, and the papers are sent to the
former direction, they are held re-
sponsible.
5. The courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from the
office, or removing and leaving them
uncalled for, is prima faete evidence
of intentional fraud"
6. Any person who receives a
newspaper and makes use of it.,
whether he has ordered it or not, is
held in law to be subscriber.
I. If subscribers pay in advance,
they are bound to give notice to the

will be responsible until an express
notice, with payment of all arrears,
is sent to the publisher.

THE Martinsburg Base Ball Club
defeated Winchester on Monday last
on their own grounds by score of
l3 to g. The game was well played
on both 'ides, but Martinsburg prov
ed the stronger both in batting and
fielding. The scoring was begun in
the first inning by our boys who cir
cumnavigated the diamond five
times, and kept up at the same rate
throughout the game, The Winches-
tiers failed to score in the first in
ming but in the fourth they made
two by wild throw and mutf by
the Martinsburg fielders. For the
balance of the game they were blank
ed while Martinsburg was shut out
only three innings. The principal
features of the game were fine fly
catches by w. Young and Combs
and a good catch Of a hot liner by
Forney. The credit for the best
playing is due to Mccormick, For
ney and Seibert of Winchester and
the whole Martinsburg nine. Mr..
Chas Spangler umpired the game to
the perfect satisfaction of both mines.
Following is the score by innings.
