TO every student of history.
BEAUTIFUL VENUs.-The evening
star, if viewed through a telescope,
presents wondrous beauties. Even
when seen with the naked eye it is
daZZlingly beautiful. If any one will
hold thin white handkerchief before
the eyes any time after night, Venus
will appear in nine brilliant stars,
three in row, and shaped something
like a diamond. The sight is well
worth the attention of all lovers of
celestial beauty.-NeacS.
a GROWING CITY By the Belt an
neXation the population of Baltimore
city has increased to 1885. Some
idea of the immense circulation of the
Baltimore San may be formed when
it is known that the paper goes into
nearly every dwelling and business

Baltimore is surrounded by many i'm
portant towns and villages, peopled
by industrious inhabitants, whose
condition of ease and comfort becomes
greater every year.

days when every aspiring statesman
thinks there's fame and fortune in

flourish of fancy type, and true merit
has to get up little earlier in the
morning to keep ahead. This THE
HERALD is doing. We always like
to lead, and have the largest, best and
cheapest paper. Besides fitting up the
Office with new designs and improve
ments, we have engaged Mr.. Suel
Ramaburg, practical printer and
promising young newspaper man,
who will assist in making The HER
AID hard to beat. We have had a
good year and expect to push the bust
ness in our own and Martinsburg's in
terest the next year. Besides Office
work Mr.. Ramsburg will solicit trade,
and we will guarantee satisfaction.
