The February number of Wide
Awake" d. Lothrop Company, Bos-

| ly where there are children.

known citizen of Harper's Ferry, was

not sent home TO his family.
We were in error in stating, week
or two ago, that the sale of the Race
Track" farm near Shepherdstown
had been confirmed by the court.

one would make an upset bid the
property would again be sold.
a eve belonging TO Mr.. Alex. Crow,
who live. about half way between
Shepherdstown and Sharpsburs, gave
birth to four lambs a few days ago.
The lambs are all alive and healthy,
and there is every prospect that they
will be raised all right. This is GER
tainly an unusual occurrence.
The Charlestown Spirit says that
| the plant of the Roselle manufaetur-
ing Company in that plase has been
purchased by Mr. Eugene Baker.

formation of new company, under a
different name, with the prospect of
putting this valuable property at once
| into active and profitable use.
Mr.. j. s. Bragonier has shown us an
old bill of sale, Of March 1869, and the
prices named seem trifle steep these
| DAYS. Feathers sold at $1.05 per
pound, bacon 25 cents, lard "a cents,
beef % cents pound, and SO on. III
such prices could he obtained at pub
lie sale in Shepherdstown now we
reckon everybody would sell out.
Six hundred men are now engaged in
the construction of the Martinsburg

Driving Park association, by which
we notice that they will be prepared
TO train horses in first-class style after
May LIST at their farm near Berryville.
! They will also have regular stock
sales at stated times. They invite
the cooperation of the people of JEFF

poses and the standing of the gentle
men who have charge of the enter
prise.

ago well-known resident of Will
Transport was visited by party of

taken to the river, given a thorough

was promised more of the same sort
if he did not prove himself more
worthy citizen, husband and father
