VEGETATIoN-CARvED ROCKS.-In
New Providence and other islands of
the Bahama group are numerous So
called banana holes" ranging in
size from that of pint cup to that Of
a large cistern. Prof. G. S. Dolley,
who has lately studied these holes,
finds that they cannot have had the
same origin as pot-holes, and not APP
pear to have been cut out by the
waves, and he can. only account for
them as an effect Of the action of de-
caying vegetation. Large quantities
Of leaves and other vegetable matter
are found in the holes, and it IS prob
able that the soft calcareous rock has
been dissolved by the fermentation
products, and washed away.

MILITARY DoGs.-The systematic
use of dogs in military service has
recently been proposed, and it is be-
lieved that under proper training the
remarkable qualities Of these intelli-
gent animals would be of great value.
Their acuteness OF scent and hearing,
with their ability to distinguish
friend from foe, fit them for sentries
ana for scouting, and their speed and
small size adapt them to messenger
service. while they might even carry
small loads of ammunition. After
an engagement they would render
important aid in hunting up the
wounded. This subject has before at
tracted the attention of military men,
while Oh the Belgian frontiers snug
glers have long used dogs to transport
dutiable goods, and custom house
officers to counterfeit the operations.

WEST VIRGINIA DEvELoPMENT.-
During the past summer and autumn
the Baltimore Sun gave great deal
of space to letters and reports from
it's staff correspondents describing
the industrial progress which West
Virginia is making and aiding the eff
forts OF our people in every way at
its command. The development now
going on in West Virginia is a mat
ter important enough to challenge
attention, but no journal published
out of the State seems to have seen
it with the friendly regard of the
Baltimore Sun. Within the past
few years the Ohio River boundary
of the State has been PARALLEL with
rail route the West Virginia Gen.
trail Railroad has been constructed
numerous rich coal fields have been
opened; many towns have been
founded; various industries have
been started; thousands of people
have established themselves in com
Portable homes; thousands or acres
of land have been brought under cul-
tivation; and if the same progress
iveness is continued a few years
longer West Virginia is bound to ex-
ert an influence and power never ex-
ercised by the State before. A good
deal of the capital employed in de-
veloping the States resources is Bal
timorean, and many interests Of the
Monumental City are closely identi-
fed with West Virginia, but Of them
all there is no more steadfast or
friendly influence than that of the
Baltimore Sun.

New Years day goodly number
of Martinsburg's prominent citizens

While Mr.. Bradshaw was taking
his seat and wiplng his brow with a
big bandana, the house fairly shook
with applause. After quiet had been
restored, Mr.. Chas. Hoogie proposed
the following toast: "The Occasion, :

Two Old Cronies.

THE people of Berkeley county, to
whom the family of Mr.. James M.
Wilson, formerly of Hedgesville, was
so well known, will regret to learn of
the death of the mother, Mrs. Annie
Z. Wilson in Kansas City, Missouri.
Although Mrs. Wilson had
been an invalid for about fifteen
years-seldom able to walk without
assistance during that time--she was
as well as usual until after she had
retired the night before Christmas,
when she was stricken with paralysis
which brought her to her death early
Christmas morning. In her long suf-
fering which was terminated so sud-
denly, she exemplified in an extra
ordinary degree that Christian forti-
tude which is borne only of a loving
and sanctifed heart. The funeral
services were held at the family resi-
dence in this city, after which the
remains Of a loving, tender wife and
mother and a beautifully noble Chris
tian were followed to Their last rest
ing place by the grief-stricken family
and their many friends. Mrs. Will
son passed away in the sixty-ffth
year of her age, leaving to mourn her
loss her aged husband, three single
sons, married son and married
daughter Her exemplary Christian
life and the circumstances of her
sudden death and burial we're well
calculated to impress one with the
fact that the dearest friend on earth
and the one most previously parted
with is mother.

Mr.. Harvey Wageley and Miss
Lille Johnson were married in
Mt. Zion Church, Dec. oath, 1883.
Rev. r. S. Stricken officiating.
Promptly at 8 a. m. the wedding
party entered the church, proceeded
by the attendants, viz: Mr.. Will
Ramsburg and Miss Kate Wageley,
and Mr.. Henry Ramsburg and Miss
"Plum" Vorous, followed by the
bride and groom. Taking position
in front of the altar, the words were
soon spoken which made the twain
one. Pausing short while for con-
gratulations, the happy couple then
drove to the station, taking the train
for Washington, Baltimore and 9th
er points. Returning they held a
reception at the residence of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. G. E.
johnson, on Friday. The boys gath
cred in the evening, and gave them
high old serenade. We wish the
newly welded pair pleasant journey
through life, with just enough Of
clouds in their sky to help them ap-
preciate the sunshine.
On Wednesday, 26thyult., we had
q second wedding in the church,
making two in one week, thus bring
ing Mount Zion into the front rank.
The happy couple on this occasion

party entered the church, proceeded
by the ushers, Messrs. Chas. Van
metre, Thos. Thornburg, Robert
Seibert and Doc. Thornburg. At the
altar they were met by Rev. Strick-
Ter, pastor of the church, who soon
pronounced them husband and wife.
The happy couple Immediately set
out for the home of the brides broth
er, Mr.. Will Riley, near Middleway,
where reception was held. We wish
the newly welded pair long happy
and useful life.
The new sheriff has in my estima-
ton, made wise selection of depu-
ties, and we are especially pleased to
see that he recognized the claims to
consideration of both Arden and
Opequon Republicans, for they work
ed as hard as any men in the county
for the success of the ticket.
