COMMUNICATED.
A MOST ENJOYABLE EVENING.

Mr.. EDIToR-A recent visit TO
Clarke county, Va, convinced the
writer that Old Virginia still holds
her own in dispensing a most charm
ing hospitality and has the sweetest
girls in the world TO assist in dispens-
ing it.
The occasion of my visit was to
attend a high tea given at the
home of Maj. \. Moore, in Berryville,
in honor of Misses Mary Grove and
JEANNE Moore, who were surrounded
by bevy of lovely girls, and a more
ENJOYABLE evening it would be hard
to conceive. Among the guests l
noticed Mr.. w. w. Price, of New
York, and Mr. Henry Shepherd, Jr.,
of our town.
Berryville is one of the few fortu-
nate places in Virginia that did not
have its society broken up and scat
tered by the war. This latter feature
makes it a delightful neighborhood
10 visit, and the writer of this has
hard work TO tear himself away and
resume his bachelor solitude.
The citizens are making a great
effort TO boom Berryville, and with
the w. & o. X. r. from Washington
through TO the Ohio completed, which
they hope to see accomplished soon.
and passing through their town,
would no doubt give them stirring
times. That the old town will sue
coed beyond her fondest hopes, Is the
wish of all who know her, but especi-
ally Of ).

Let he Council Make Repairs.


We have heard a number of re-
marks during the past week from
citizens Of the town expressing the
belief that the Town Council should
have repaired and put in complete
order the hand fire engine belonging
to the corporation. This machine is
really first class one, but is practr
cally useless simply because its valves
need intelligent overhauling by an
EXPERT. The steam engine meets all
demands, generally, after ii is once
throwing water, but it is an undenla-
BILE fact that for some reason or other
q great deal Of time is consumed IN
getting up steam and placing stream
upon the fire. We do not know the
cause. but at few of the fires that
have occurred here during the past
few wears has the water been thrown
as soon as it should be. The first few
minutes at a fire are the most impOr
tant. If the hand engine were in
good repair it could be set to work
Immediately, and would do most eff
fective work in keeping fire in check
while the steamer was getting ready.
The small expense of repairing the
hand engine is all that is needed.
There is plenty of hose, nozzles, etc,
complete for both engines, and i'll
case a fire should be a long distance
from the water supply it would be no
trouble, nor cause any loss of time, to
connect both lines of hose. We hope
to see some action taken in this mat

Cauqht Him at Front Royal.

IOuyNt MN az OHt bOIui'
\ few days ago an elderly gentle
man who seemed to be about seventy
years of age stopped at the Entler
Hotel in Shepherdstown, registering
as Henry Crittenden, Kentucky.
After Landlord Trussell and the other
folks at the hotel had listened TO his
tale of woe, they were convinced that
the old gentleman was indeed unfor-
tunate. He had just lost son, and
he wept as he told how the boy had
died far away from home and what
difficulties had been experienced in
having the body sent to his native
place from away up in Pennsylvania
Then too, he had spent nearly all his
money, and was suffering from heart
disease. He enlisted the sympathies
of all who heard him, and he told
such straight story that none doubt
ed. But suddenly he skipped, leav-
ing all his new friends in the lurch.
Mr.. Trussell then found that instead
of striking for Kentucky he had
bought ticket for Front Royal, Va.
Mr.. Trussell followed him on the first
train, and when he walked in on his
man at the hotel there the fellow
turned seven colors in four seconds.
He wilted at once, and yielded up
enough cash and collateral TO reim-
burse Mr. Trussell for all expenses.
He was fixing to play the same in
Front Royal, and had already gain ed
the confidence of the hotel people
tn ere.

Fire ON Sunday Night.

Last Sunday night the churches in
Sbenherdstown were well filled, ana
the preachers were about half way
through their sermons, when vlgor-
Gus alarm of fire dismissed the audi
ences without waiting for the benedic-
ton. The stable of Mr.. Geo. Z.
Adams, in the rear Of his property on
Washington street, was on fire, and
nv the time the crowd gathered the
building was wrapped in flames. A
gale was blowing, and great sparks
were carried to the southeast, fortu-
natelv the safest direction they could
take. But the danger TO the sur
rounding property was very great
and it was only by hard work that
the flames were kept from spreading
Mr.. Adams's stable and corn GRID
were completely destroyed, and his
faithful old mule was burned to death.
He also lost a quantity of feed, har-
ness. tools, etc, and nothing was In
sured.
There is little doubt that the fire
was the work of an incendiary, as
there was no cause apparent for an
accidental start And this 10 the third
fire during the past few months, on
the line of the same alley, and with
many similar features. 1t looks as
though the same person or persons
bad committed all of the atrocious
acts.
There was great deal of excitement
among the ladies of the neighbor-
hood for the great pillows of flame
that rolled up from the burning pile
looked as though they would sweep
that end of town. 1t was indeed
lucky that the damage was so limited.
Mr.. Adams's friends started in with
subscription paper Monday morn
ing, and in short time raised enough
money TO make good the loss of his
mule.
