Horace's Gap.--Jefferson Co.

There is considerable sickness in this
vicinity, including measles, of which
there have been two or three cases,
with plenty more in prospect.
Mrs. Eliza Evans, wife of Mr.. Jacob
V. Evans, died April 25th, and was
inferred at Mount Zion April 9th,
Rev. J. S. Gibson, of Middleway, con-
Quoting the funeral services.
Mrs. E. was we'll advanced in years,
being in her seventy-eight year. Her
health had been gradually failing for
several months, and severe cold con.
tracted short time ago, developed
acute bronchitis. Medical aid was
summoned, but it was soon evident
that she was past human aid. She
gradually grew weaker and just as the
sun went down she sank to rest, with
out struggle, as tired child falls
asleep. For more than sixty years
she had been a church member, and
adorned her profession by an upright
walk, and when the summons for her
departure came, she was all ready to
depart and be with Christ, and dwell
in that land, none of whose inhabit-
ants ever have to say I" am tired"
and where none are ever sick. Her
husband and four children are left to
mourn her departure, but their loss is
her eternal gain.

From, the Shepherdstopn Register. !
The Franklin House in Hagerstown
has Eeen sold to A. ID. Bennett pri-
vately for $4,000.
Considerable interest was created in
Shepherdstown the latter part of last
week by the report that large sum
of money had been found on the
farm belonging to the heirs of Mr..
John Cook near this place. 1t is said
that while young man named Do
mer was blowing on Thursday the
plow-share turned up wooden box.
1t was carelessly thrown aside, but
later opened and tin box found
inside. The inner box was opened,
and the, story says a large sum of
money was found inside, ais gold
watch. There have been so many
conflicting yarns about the affair that
it is hard to say how much is true and
how much Is false.
Mr.. Daniel Fl. Young, who some
years ago married Miss Emma Fay
man, daughter of Mr.. James ID. Fay
man, of Shepherdstown died at his
home in Smithsburg, Md, on Wednes-
day, after long illness of consump-
ton. Besides the widow, Mr.. Young
leaves three small children. The fu-
neral will take place on Saturday.
Master Walter Pierce, youthful
but Jealous antiquarian Of this town,
Is in possession of relic that veteran
curiosity seekers may well envy a
young novice. 1t was his fortune to
unearth it about mile below Shep.
herdstown on a high bluff on the south
bank of the Potomac river. In OPEN
ing a cairn containing bones of an
aboriginal and unauestioned valiant
warriorin one ofsthe lumbar vertebre
was deeply imbedded a white flint
arrow head, which evidently passed
through the abdomen, and is conclu-
sive proof of the fatal and destructive
mode of Indian warfare. There is a
tradition that desperate battle was
fought between the Susequehanna and
Delaware tribes near where this skele-
ton was resurrected, and 1T is altogeth-
er possible testimonial Of that pre-
historic barbarou5 struggle when the
implements of war were the stone
tomahawk, arrow head and scalpIng
knife. This specimen chronicles a
thrilling event Of the stone age of
America.

BETTER SABBATH OBSERVANCE
The Mass meeting Sabbath afternoon
last, was largely attended. 1t was
not mere pleasure meeting, but one
which evidently meant business. Mr..
Blackburn Hughes, Pres. of the Ber-
kelley Co. Sabb. ASS, presided at this
meeting; and after singing and an
opening prayer by Rev. Edwards,
made a clear and ringing speech in
which he stated distinctly the object
of the meeting and portrayed the
danger of the country from the ever
growing disregard of our Sabbath.
Rev. Holland followed this up with
very fervid aud earnest plea for
Gods holy day as an inalienable right
which God has given to men, and
which they therefore cannot them
selves cast off. nor can others take it
from them. Short addresses were
made by Rev. Kennedy and also by
Edwards and others, all giving evi.
dence of the deep hold this subject is
taking upon the minds of thinking
people. The great majority of those
present authorized their names to be
signed to the petitions. 1t is probable
that several hundred names will go
up from Martinsburg and old Berke-
ley Co., together asking the U. S. Sem
ate, House of Representatives, the
managers of railroads, Telegraphs
and the Public Press of the country,
to cease Sabbath work. Remember
the Sabbath day, to keep it holy."-

first paper of the series by George

be recorded the results of The Century

ton of the exile system. The frontis-
piece of this number is a touching

which he undertook his Siberian mis-
sion. The illustrations are numerous,
and there is full.page map of the

brief papers appeal especially to the
soldier audience, but are of general
interest as well. The first deals with
The chances of being hit in battle"
being "a study Of regimental losses in
the Civil War" The second describes
the famous I" Locomotive Chase in
Georgia." one of the most thrilling
incidents of the war. The Lincoln
Life deals especially with the efforts
made to keep the Border States from
Secession, and Mr.. Lincoln appears
not only in this historial setting, but
also as a character of fiction in DIR.

Graysons," which is now approaching

FOOD TESTS In NEW YORK
OFFICIAL ANALYSIS OF BAKING POW
DERs--ADULTERATIo IN CREAM
OF TARTAR

Under the direction of the New
York State Board of Health, eighty.
four different kinds of baking powders,
embracing all the brands could be
found for sale in the State submitted
to examination and analysis by Prof,
Y. ID. CHANDLER, a member of the
State Board of Health, assisted by
Prof. EDWARD G.. LOVE, the we'll
known United States Government
chemist.
The official report shows that large
number Of the powders examined
were found to contain alum or lime
many of them to such an extent as to
render them seriously Objectionable
for use in the preparation of human
food.
Alum was found in twenty nine
samples. The drug is employed in
baking powders to cheaper their cost.
The presence of lime is attributed to
the impure cream of tartar of com
| merce used in their manufacture.
Such cream of tartar was also analyz-
ed and found 10 contain lime and 9th
er impurities, in some samples to the
extent of SO per cent. of their entire
weight.
The only baking powders of the
market, with the single exception of
Royal" mot including the alum
and phosphate powders, which have
not the virtue of even an impure
cream of tartar), are from the adulter.
ated cream of tartar of commerce, and
consequently contain lime to cor
responding extent.
Theenly baking powder yet found
by chemical analysis to be entirely
free from lime and pure is the &c Roy
al" This perfect purity results from
the exclusive use of cream of tartar
specially refined and prepared by pat
ent processes which totally remove the
tartrate of lime and impurities. The
cost of this chemically pure cream of
tartar is much greater than any other,
and on account of this greater cost is
used in no baking powder but the
Royal"
Prof. Love, who made the analysis
of baking powders for the New York
State Board of Health, as we'll as for
the Government, says of the purity
and wholesom aness of the Royal -:
&c find the Royal Baking Powders
composed of pure and wholesome in
gradients. 1t is cream of tartar pow.
der ola high degree of merit, and does
not contain either alum or phosphates
or other injurious substance.
E. G. LOVE, PHI. D.'
1t is highly satisfactory to the house
keepers of this vicinity, where the
Royal Baking Powder is in general
use, that the investigations by the
analysts in Massachusetts, New York,
and Ohio, the only States that have
thus far taken action upon this impor-
tant subject agree in CHASING it as the
purest and most efficient baking pow
der in the market.

Railway employees are not without
their superstitions any more than are
old salts. An engineer once said that
he dreaded his next trip. He had
killed horse the last run out, and
that was sure forewarning of killing
a man; it hadn't failed in seven times
during twenty years service. In just
a week, the deaf dumb man, who loves
to walk where the steel rails lie thick
est, fulfilled the shadowy present
ment of the man of the locomotive
throttle.

Mr.. II. st. John Shepherd writes to
a friend in town. that patience and
perseverance has done its perfect
work, and that he has struck it rich at
point near Shanghai, in this county.
He tunneled into the side of the Third
Hill Mountain, near the base, until he
struck a paying vein of free burning
Anthracite coal. We heartily con-
graduate Mr.. Shepherd on his success.
He certainly earned it by faith, and
perseverance. Mr.. Shepherd is the sole
owner of this mine, and it will prove
a bonanza to him in furnishing this
town, and the surrounding country,
even if no railroad is built in that di-
rectiOn.
