Mysterious Disappearance.

Mr.. James Leonard, who lived on
Mr. Geo. II. Smalrs farm, and worked
at the blacksmith's trade around
with the farmers, has been missing
since Saturday night, Sept Sth, when
Shelby's circus exhibited here. He
was seen between 10 and II o'clock
that night, in front of Mr.. j. w. Walk
er's store, somewhat under the intlu-
ence of liquor, with a basket on his
arm containing supplies for his family
as was supposed on his way home,
but he has not been seen or heard Of
since that time. Whether he went off
with the circus or has been foully
dealt with is a mystery. His wife and
children are utterly ignorant of the
fate of husband and father and are
sorely distressed. Mr.. Geo. f. Show
ers has been interesting himself to find
some clue to his whereabouts, by tele-
graphing to the Shelby circus people,
but up to this time he has heard moth
ing of Misunderstanding Statesman.

A ParIor Entertainment.

The young folks of this vicinity were
given very enjoyable entertainment
by Mrs. J. S. Myers at "Aglionby's
Rest near town, in honor of Miss
Florence Crow, of Williamsport, last
Thursday evening. The veranda was
very beautifully decorated by Japa-
nese lanterns. The refreshment table
was set out in the lawn, with many
good things on it. The young folks
enjoyed themselves by tripping the
light fantastic toe and other amuse-
ments. They thank Mr.. and Mrs.
Myers, and hope they will live to give
them another such enjoyable evening.

A Valuable Publication.

fuIuuWc FuOHIuuOb'
We have received from the author,
Mr.. f. Vernon Aler, a copy OF his
Full and Complete History of Mar
tinsburg and Berkeley County" This
book is publication of great interest
to the people of West Virginia. Start
ing in with the origin of the Indians
in this section of America, Mr.. Aler
has compiled history of the people
and times that is we'll worthy of peru
sal and preservation. Briefly stated,
the following are the main points OF
the volume: The origin OF the Indian
settlements; the first settlements in
the Valley; the Indian warfare; the
domestic life and habits of the early
settlers; the founding of Martinsburg,
in 1878; the boundary line between
Virginia and Maryland, from the re-
port of the Hon. G. j. Faulkner; his
torical pen-sketches of early residents
Of Berkeley county, &c, also by Mr..
Faulkner; slavery and the war of the
rebellion; historical "reminiscences OF
Martinsburg, by John w. Curtis; the
Baltimore and Ohio strikes; a sketch
of the life of the Hon. G. J. Faulkner,
by Col. Frank A. Burr, churches, &c;
a description of the town Of Martins
burg and the county of Berkeley; per
sonal sketches and biographies Of the
public and professional men Of the
present day; concluding with sketch
of the Shepherd family, of this vicin-
ity, and full description of the model
Wild Goose Farm and the landed es-
tate of Henry Shepherd, Esq.
Among the familiar names men
toned in the book we notice such as
McSherry, Myers, Stewart, Colston,

shaw, Nadenbousch, Gallaher, Porter
field, Cooper, Kearney, Balch, Van
Swearingen, Moore, Strother, Boyd,

deal of information concerning the
old times that has never before been
published. The author certainly de-
serves success in his undertaking.

Barn Burned.

Barn Burned.
The bright light in the western sky
that was observed by Shepherdstown
people last Monday night about 9
o'clock was caused by the burning of
the barn on the farm of Mr.. Harry
Thomas, near Martinsburg. The barn
was burned completely down, and all
its contents destroyed. Four hundred
bushels of wheat, 60 tons of hay, har-
ness, &c, were lost, and a cow was
