ALDFN's MANIFOLD ENCYCLOPEDIA.
The issue Of the tenth volume calls
attention to the rapid progress which
this excellent popular cyclopedia is
making. The publisher promised the
volumes at intervals of about month;
he is recently more than keeping his
word. The volume extends from
Cosmography to DERRY. contains
about GAO pages and about 100 illustra-
tions, handsomely printed and neatly
bound in cloth, all for so cents. The
Manifold is more comprehensive than
any other cyclopedia except Casselps
(which costs several times as much,
including an unabridged dictionary OF
the English language in addition to
ordinary cyclopedia matter, and
though many of the articles are neces.
sarily brief, they are sufficiently full
for practical people, and some arti.
cles are surprisingly extended-for In
stance, Cotton occupies % pages;
CraDnogs, 8 pages; Creeds and Con-
fessions, pages; Cricket, pages
Crusades, pages; Darwin and OAR
winian Theory, IL pages, and so on.
1t would be strange indeed If cyclic
pedia of such great merit, published
at cost so surprisingly low, did not
reach an enormous circulation. 4

returned If not wanted. John b, Al.

THE MARTINSBURG HERALD, SATURDAY, DEC IS, l
SHANGHAI NEWS.

The weather has been very favor
able for a little while past, giving
farmers chance to get their work
done which has been much delayed
on account ofrain in the early part of
the fall
But tonight the wind is blowing
furiously from the North West, which
fortells that a cold wave is on its way
here.
A sad and fatal ARRAY took place on
last Sunday night, the 9th inst, as the
people were returning home from
Towards Chapel fired. Co., Va,
where meeting is in progress. Jos.
Lamp, son of Mason Lamp, of Fred
Co.. Va, and Jonathan Mason, son of
Jackson Mason, of this place, got in
to a fight which lasted some minutes,
when suddenly Jonathan Mason fell
back and exclaimed, 40 Lord" and
died in short time. 1t was then
found out that Lamp had been strik-
ing with knife and had gashed Mr..
Mason twice across the arm, once
across the breast, once in the back
and had finished his dreadful work by
cutting his throat from the ear half
way round which killed him. His
remains were taken short distance
to Mr.. Dehavens, A jury was hastily
summoned and an inquest held, and
Lamp was lodged in Jail in Winches-
ter.
Great excitement prevails in this
neighborhood over the sad occurrence,
and many syrnpathysing friends, join
ed the sad procession which bore his
remains to Mt. Carmel Church, where
he was buried to-day. Rev. Joseph
G.. Kitchen preached his funeral. He
was about Is years old.
Hon. NJ. S. Grantham, who has
been sick about two weeks, is getting
better, we are glad TO say.
Mr.. James Powell who was shot in
Ohio, has since died. He leaves a
wife and four small children in Ohio.
Mrs. Powell is the daughter of Mr..
George Stilwell, living near Shan
ghai. T..

ONE YOUTH KILLS ANOTHER
WINCHESTER, VA, December H.
Jonathan f. Mason was killed by
Joshua Lamp In fight near How
ards Chapel, Frederick county, Sun
day night. Both were young men
about IS years old. Mason was from
Berkeley county, w. Va, and was cut
by Lamp five times, the last cut in
flicting wound in the throat from
which he instantly died. Lamp, ac-
companied by his father and friends,
arrived here this morning and has
given himself up to the authorities.
He says the act was committed in self
defense.
Jonathan Mason, a resident Of Ber-
kelley county, w. Va, had his throat
cut Sunday night by a young man
named Lamp, living in Frederick Co.,
Va. The young men had both been
to church at Towards Chapel, on
what is known as the Pack Horse
road, across the third mountain, and
after the service young Mason, on his
way home, came up with Lamp and
some female members of his family.
Upon seeing Mason, Lamp exclaim-
ed, "There he is now" and rushed at
him with a knife and plunged it into
his throat, severing the right jugular
vein, from the effects ofwhich he bled
to death before medical assistance
could be had. After infiicting the
wound Lampe walked off in the dir
ection of his home. The scene of the
tragedy is in Frederick county, Va,
some distance from telegraph lines,
and the full particulars could not be
learned, but there is said to be wo-
man in the case. 1t is not known
whether Lamp has been arrested yet
