day of last week held an inquest on
the body of the white infant found in
the Shenandoah river few days ago.
The verdict of the Jury is as follows ::
"We, the Jury summoned and
sworn to hold an inquest on the dead
body of female child found in the
Shenandoah river, near the farm of
Benjamin f. Beavers, in jefferson
county, West Virginia, find and be-
lieve from the evidence before us that
the said child was born of Lacy Wilt
shire, and that we are unable to de-
eide from the evidence whether the
child was born dead or alive, and that
the body of the said child was thrown
into the river by the said Lacy Wilt
shire or by some one for the said Lacy
Wiltshire. In testimony whereof the
said Jurors have set their hands this
18th day of May, 1885,

DIR. T. III. Schacffer, after two weeks
illness of pneumonia, died at his res.
idence in this town on Tuesday last,
about noon. This is a dispensation
of an all-wise Providence that will
touch the heart of every citizen. in
the prime of life an estimable gentle
man, useful citizen, devout christian,
affectionate husband and father has
been, almost suddenly, taken away.
Only few brief years-less than the
half of a decade-have run their
cource since he came almost a stranger
to our midst. But he bore testimo-
malls of excellence as christian man,
skilled in his profession, and every
way worthy to be received that have
not been discounted by his daily life
here. He leaves q wife and two
daughters who are the objects of the
tendercst sympathy of our people.
DR.. Schaeffer was a little over fifty
years of agc.--,Free Press.
The funeral services were held in
Zion (EpiscopaD Church Wednes-
day evening at $50 o'clock, and the
remains were taken to Poolsville,
Md, on Thursday, for interment.

That Highway of Nations,

The broad Atlantic, is ever stormy thorough,
fare. Yet blow the winds ever SO fierccly, and
ride the waves ever so loftily, scamen must
than the good ships, tourists will brave the
passage, and commercial travellers and buyers
must visit the centres of foreign trade and
manufacture. That atrocious malady. sea-
sickness. together with colicky pains and
much inward uneasincs is often endured when
Hostettcrs Stomach Bitters would have forti-

are acquainted with the protective value of this
estimable preventative and remedy, and arc
rarely unprovided with 1t. Emigrants to the

be futile for us to descant further
upon their merits; each one has its
peculiar distinctivcness, and from
each one. the young beginner as well
as the old stager on the mercantile
boards, who are following in the ruts
of their forefathers, can draw les

account will be their portion, all of
which is peculiarly desirable these
hard times when King Credit appears
to rule. The only way he can be de-
throncd effectually is by adopting the
rules laid down in these trade jour

Templar at their hall in the opera house
block on Friday evening last, and while re-
turning home took the middle Of the street,
as ii was darker along the sidewalks. He
had not proceeded far, when he slipped and
fell on his face, being rendered unconscious
by the shock for . moment. When he re-
gained consciousness::he was in bewildered
state Of mind, and wandered of toward the
north side, instead Of toward home. On
reaching the canal bank he followed it to the
squeduot, and while attempting to GROSS fell
into the Fox river below. He managed to
reach the east bank by great effort, but
being man ofeishty years, and very feeble.
was unable to regain his feet after sinking
among the weeds Of the riverj bank and he
remained there all night and until 2 O'Clock
on Saturday, when no was discovered by .
passer by and taken to his home. He is in
very precarious condition, and it is posi-
bic that no NAV not recover from the effects
Of the shook.

But zee what this unprotected industry
has done for US. II employs three times
as much capital Al all the manufacturing
industries. II has cheapened the work OF
carrying many times more than they have
cheapened their prOducts The other day
Mr. John N. Farquhsr, member OF cong
ress from Buffalo, quoted In congress, APP
provingly, and as the basis Of high pro-
tectlOnist argument the estimate OF Ed.
ward Atkinson Of Massachusetts that the
carrying for which the roads now charge
US $500 100000 per year would cost, II
done by men and horses, I'll, 30S, 500, 900.
That Is II would cost twenty-five times as
much. Ii would cost 81 10 where II now
| costs five cents And this IL on such an
enormous total that the mind cannot con-
ceive II.
In the presence Of such q cheapening as
this, amounting In one unprotected indus.
try 70 twice rs much as the grand total of
even the tariff inflated values Of manufac
lures all told, what folly to attribute either
the cheapness or the prosperity we enjoy
to high tariffs. What article has the tariff.
or the men engaged In any protected In
dustry made twenty-five times as cheap as
before9 And all this Is new creation
of the last half century. The new capital
invested In II since 1880 Is more than all
that was then invested In manufactures,
according 10 the census. A thousand other
telling comparisons might be made, but
surely enough has been said to remove all
the plausibilty out of the claim that it Is
the tariff that has cheapened goods and
made the country prosperous.
