We said some time ago that Dress
Goods were the backbone Of our business.
They are. in fact. the bone and marrow.
We are within the bounds of facts when
we say that there is not in this city to-
day, we care not who claims to the con-
trary, a store that carries such an enor-
nous stock Of dress material as we have
on hand this spring. A comparison of
our prices with prevalent prices must
lead to the conclusion many
have arrived at long ago,-thst we sell
the best goods for the least money.
Ladies from our neighboring towns come
to us to do their shopping, for they have
discovered that in purchases Of any mag
nitude they save enough to pay their fare
twice over. besides having the greatest
variety Of most desirable things TO select
from. Our line of dress trimmings is
varied and handsome. Every day
brings something new. We invite you
to come and look through our spring

EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES.

We would call attention to the card
Of st. Joseph's Academy, McSherrys-
town, Pa, published in another
column. This Is a well known insti-
tuition, having been founded nearly a
half century ago. 1t Is located in
one of the most attractive sections Of
Southern Pennsylvania. The build.
ings are of the latest design and finish,
with every accommodation for pupils.
AL the higher branches are taught, -
the languages, painting, &c. The
school offers every advantage that the
best city school does, and at half the
cost. There is also a department for
the blind, in which they are taught
all the common branches with mark.
ed success in music some Of the
scholars distinguish themselves par
ticularly. The latest appliances and
systems are in use. In writing they
use the New York Point and Braille
Systems and Block Letters, and can
read and writeas readily as their more
fortunate companions. In arithmetic
they are as expert as In other studies.
Geography is taught by means Of
chart for the blind, costly work in
raised divisions and letters, and mark
ed lines for rivers and mountains, by
means of which the blind scholars can
bound any State or county, point out
cities and towns, and go through all
the exercises of the class. Besides
this they are taught to sew, make
beadwork, &c. 1t is very interesting
to see them at their work, and in
their department, natural gifts and
personal accomplishments, they are
equal to the average of their age.
Their affliction they take more calmly
than we do many of our lighter woes,
and MAXI the most out of their oppor-
tunities.

A couple who arrived here at four
O'Clock Thursday morning from Vir-
ginia via Shenandoah Valley Rail-
road, attracted considerable attention
on the part of our citizens. They
came to get married. The groom car
ried lantern, about the size of one
of our old street lamps, but was pre-
vailed upon by the railroad employ
ees to leave the lantern at the depot
until after the ceremony. The couple
proceeded down street, the groom
with his arm around the brides waist
until he was called off by some envi-
Gus youngster. They stirred Clerk
Oswald out shortly after five O'Clock,
and after the marriage ceremony
walked around town, hand in hand,
eating peanuts. There was q crude.
ness and originality about the pro.
ceedings that was quite amusing. At
ter the couple were married and had
taken the return train for home, Mr..
Oswald received telegram from the
BRIDES father instructing him not to
issue license but to place his daugh-
ter, who gave her age as seventeen,
in the custody of the chief of police.
From this it would appear that it was
another runaway match.-Hagerstowa

evening Mr.. Charles l.. Barnhart, of

from losing his life. He had been in
Shepherdstown, and as he was cross
ing the Shenandoah Valley Railroad
track at the south edge of town a
freight train came rapidly down the
grade upon him. The horse was up
on the track when Mr.. Barnhart saw
the danger. He quickly jerked the
animal back, but the cross beam at
the front of the engine struck the
horse and threw it to one side and
knocked the buggy over on top of
Mr.. Barnhart, who had jumped out
when the horse was struck. Although
the horse was hurt and the buggy
Mr.. BarDhart luckily escap-
ed without much injury. The engineer
went on at rapid rate with his train,
and never stopped to inquire into the
damage.-Register.
