The Temperance Meeting at Fishers
Hill.

The temperance picnic at this place
was a success in every respect. The term
picnic seems too vulgar to be applied to a
meeting Of this kind. 1t deserves better
name.
The first day opened with prospects for
fair day. The rain the day previous
left somewhat dampening aspect, how
ey or. about 10 o'clock the dampness dis
appeared, and the day was delightful
one.
The morning exercise was opened by
prayer by Prof. J. N. Fries, of Dayton.
DR.. Cutler, of Richmond, delivered
poi nted and thrilling lecture on the
temperance question lie made no at
tempt at oratory, but stated undisputable
and unanswerable facts, which seemed to
be we'll entertained by the people. The
other speakers of the day were Prof.
Fries. of Dayton, Ed. d. II. Rhodes and
Rev. I. NJ. Underwood, of Ednburg, Ed.
+. B. Shaver, of Maurertown, and Rev
Mr.. Hopkins, Of Strasburg.
A hotly contested game Of base ball was
PLAYED between the Woodstock and
Edinburg boys, which resulted in vic
tory for Woodstock.
The day was enliyened by music from
Bargelt's Cornet Band.
As the crowd wended their way home,
many persons wondered If the second day
would equal the first.
The second day opened up magnificent
ly the air was balmy, and the grove de-
lightfully pleasant. Rev. Hopkins took
charge of the program, and the meeting
was opened by Ed. Shaver leading in
prayer. Rev. Hopkins made the'iirst adj
dress giving many earnest and powerful
blows for temperance. Ed. Shaver fol-
lowed III few remarks, thus ending the
morning exercise.
At2 o'clock the balloon was let 90, and
assembled beyond the limit many people
will ever 90, after which the youthful
! lecturer, Charles II. Tatum, of Dayton
delivered one of his astonishing brilliant
lectures. He held the audience closer
than any speaker of either day. HI
argument was nowery and yet convincing
State Senator Stubs, of Norfolk, dis
appointed the people by not putting in hi
appearance.
The music of this day was rendered by
the Mt. Jackson Cornet Band.
Another game Of base ball was playe'
the result of which was not ascertained
Thus ended the noble testlves OF Thu
occasion. In point of numbers this day
equaled, if not surpassed, the first. /
was noticeable that not a man was seel
under the influence of strong drink. Ihi
speaks we'll for the cause and place. Muci
good, think, was done, and people whit
were antagonistic to temperance, l believe
had their views modified, II not altogether
changed. for temperance. FARMER

Mr.. John Fetzer broughta bean to town
last week 81 inches long.
Toms Brook must have let herself loose
in good yelling style on last Saturday
night
Quite number of our people attended
the picnic at Fishers Hill, on last Friday
and Saturday.
Some Of our young people took in the
torch-light procession and fire works at
Winchester, last Monday night, the 23rd.
They say it was grand.
We are informed by Mr.. Slas Crabill
that the wheat he has threshed 30 far IL
not much damaged and that it has been
yielding very well. The crop Of Mr.. Jno.
II. Bauserman's made 81 bushels TO the
acre, aud the others an average Of 10
bushels.
We witnessed the eclipse on Sunday
night. The first that could be noticed OF IL
was at IL o'clock and Z minutes. At ~
o'clock and minutes it was full. 1t was
beautiful sight. Some of our young
people wish there was an eclipse every
Sunday night.
The balloon that was inflated and sent
up at Fishers Hill last Friday, came down
on the farm of Mr.. Robert Lutholtz, close
TO his house, about half a mile from here.
Mr.. i. informs us that it has not single
torn place in it, and that no means to
have a balloon ascension IN the near fu-
ture.
Is it not rather true that England is so
anxious TO have the barriers Of protection
torn down from our government in order
TO secure for herself greater advantages IN
competing with our own products in our
own markets Can the American people
afford to burn their fingers in pulling
chestnuts out Of the FIRE for the British
manufacturer and British capitalists
The Republicans of our place organized
a Harrison club on last Saturday night,
with good list of slgners, and elected a
president, vice-president, secretary and
treasurer. They will meet again on Sat
urday evening" tho 2sth, and invite all
good Republicans to be present, also all
the Democrats who cannot swallow the
red bandana this fall. Don't forget, Sat
urday night, the 2Sth, at 9 o'clock.
The correspon dent Of the Ifrqin'dH ana
.Neirs, who reported the pole raising here,
was either so excited that he did not know
what he was writing or that no tried to
handle the truth as carelessly as possible.
But, then, he never reports anything for
the Tirqinidn and Ners unless Snarr ~
Coiiman have received a new line of mil

such an enthusiastic meeting that he 10
compelled to say something, be it true or
false. We had lots more to answer but
think best to overlook such erring crea-
lures. The pole is still here.

The b. & o. Railroad is a big concern
but it can do some might little things
sometimes, especially in the way of &C
commodating its patrons. An instance of
this kind occurred here few days ago in
connection with the Fishers Hill picnic
that came of on Friday and Saturday Of
last week. On Friday a regular excursion
train was run. On Saturday it was ex-
pected that large crowd would again at
tend, as was really the case To the sur
prise Of the considerable number waiting
at this point for the east bound morning
freight, which the economy Of the COM
pany put in place of the excursion train,
it came along with only the one regular
coach attached, and this already filled
from points above, so that the forty or
more who had purchased tickets here
could take their choice OF the roof and
platforms OF an old dirty box car into
which some benches were put. We sup
pose for the accommodation OF the passen-
gers from below here they put on coal
hopper II would just be like the con
temptible meanness Of this big company,
that would send out flaming posters ad-
vertising these gatherings and then give
their patrons, men, women and children,
such beastly treatment. A sense of shame
should prevent them from playing such
little tricks even if pride and self interest
wont.

The Result Of a Dance.
A MARRIED MAN ATTEMPTS TO ELOPE WITH
YOUNG GIRL

A MARRIED MAN ATTEMPTS TO ELOPE WITH
YOUNG GIRL.
From the Hagerstown News.
The lower portion Of this county was
thrown into state of excitement on Sun
day, over the actions Of supposed run
away couple-the female in the case,
however, claiming that il was an abduc-
! ton.
William Seigler, of Shepherdstown, W.
Va, man with wife and two children,
celebrated the glorious Fourth at Sandy
Hook, this county, where he participated
in dance, and made the acquaintance of
Miss Lulu Long, OF Lovettsville, Va, a
prepossessing young lady Of some seven
teen summers. Seigler was desperately
smitten with Miss Long, and after his re-
turn homo was unable to dismiss her from
his mind. Desiring to renew his ac-
quaintanceship with the young lady, he
drove to her fathers house on Sunday
last, and asked her to take ride with
him.
At first, as Miss Long alleges, she de-
clined the honor, but finally consented,
and was driven to Knoxville. Here she
attempted TO leave the buggy, as she
claims, but her subsequent actions do not
bear her ont, as she permitted herself to
DO driven to Keedysville, where the party
put M at Wyand's Hotel, and registered
as man and wife.
Mr.. Henry Long, the father Of the girl,
having been apprised of the actions OF
the couple, started IN pursuit. accom-
panied by friend Mr.. Wesley Crutchley.
Long and Crutchley were soon on the
track Of Seigler, and upon reaching
Keedysyille, found that he and the girl
had left there, going in the direction OF
Boonsboro. They continued the pursuit,
and a short distance from Keedysville
came in sight Of the buggy, containing
Seigler and the girl. Seigler, finding
that he was likely TO be overhauled, left
the conveyance and took to the fields,
when Miss Long drove back and met her
father. who returned with her to Keedys-
Vile, where he swore ont a warrant,
which, however, from some unexplained
cause, the magistrate refused to have
served, although Seigler put in his APP
pearance atthe station just as the father
and girl were about taking their depart
ure tor home. Long make an attempt to
shoot Seiglcr, but was prevented by
friends from carrying his threat into
execution.
After Long and his daughter had left
Keedysvile, Seigler boosted he would
have the girl, and sent telegraphic de-
spatch to Miss Long at Weverton to meet
him.
The girl stoutly claims that she had no
intention ofeloping with Seigler, and that
she was an unwilling party to the transac-
ton. As TO the truth of this the reader
can form an opinion to suit the case.
This is not the first "escapade" OF
Segler, as he was mixed up in similar
one some time ago, his wife following
him to Hagerstown, where it cost her
some s25 to get him out of the scrape
