In a hurried trip to Charlestown on Tues
day last, we found the Circuit Court in sas-
sion, with Mr.. Trapnel as special judge
trying the case against the stockholders of
the Pennsylvania Central Improvement Co.
Several lawyers from distance were IN at
tendance. Jefferson County should be a
great agricultural section. Its land and
beauty of scenery cannot be surpassed, and
flowers bloom now where the thorn Of war
made hurtful wounds. Liberality, enter
prise push and kindly neighborly Election
exists and are producing prosperity. Verify,
Mr.. Trayers was correctin his remarks when
he said of their land, "all you have to do is
to tickle the soil and drop the seed" and tho
result is an abundant production. We hope
the next decade will double their agricul-
tural community -Nartn25pyq !a5ePeadsat.

Mr.. II. r. W, Hout has purchased the
Vaudeville railroad station property and
also the Wade farm, adjacent thereto, for
which he paid $1,000. Mr.. Hout has been
appointed by the B. & o. station agent
there, and he is also agent Of the Philadel-
phia Guarantee Express Company at that
point. In addition to the duties herein de-
vol7ei upon him. he has the supervision Of
four farms-7OO acres-belonging to him.

Dr. James G. Wiltshire Of Baltimore was
in town on Saturday. If he knew how
much good it does US to SEQ aim he would
come oftener. We won't trust ourself to say
more lest we be caught writing him a love
letter. We will say this, howeyer,-that he
improves the magnificent opportunity he
has in Baltimore for doing good---helping
somebody, relieving some sufferer, befriend-
ing by counsel and other ways especially
the young men from this section who have
made their homes in Baltimore or sojourned
there awhile in the Medical and othes COL

We never went into his Office that we
didn't find on his centre table the Family
Bible and the sold Family Journal"-and
nobody needs q better Index to the library
of a human soul than that.

1t is specially edited by a trained corps
Of writers selected for the purpose of max
ing the best paper.
1t is adapted to the improvement and
enjoyment of both sexes, of all ages, of
every family whether q resident Ofthe city,

Not word of crime or impure sugges-
ton in any part of the paper.
1t is an old paper and carries its age and
reputation equally well.
Now we are seeking a new and larger
circle of readers. AS an inducement to
this end the WEEKLY PRESS in connection
with any four dollar magazine in America
will be sent for the single subscription price
of such magazine.

Counterfeit8- There are said to be in
circulation on the peninsula silver GER
tifcates raised from 50 to SIS. The
work of raising is neatly done but a
careful examination easily detects the
difference. A sufficient clue is in the
vignette, which is on the right of So

sons, however, are so eager to get hold
of a SIS bill that they would probably
fail to notice even the entire absence of
