Rev. G.. J. Roudabush of the U. B. church
having finished his vacation, returned to the
care of his charges last week
Presto! Change! Gray and faded boards
made to assume their original color by ap
plying Buckinghem's Dye for the Whiskcrs.
1t never fails to satisfy.
The gripstill prevails here we had hoped
that the circumstantlal statement made by
one of our exchanges, that it would prevail
until the middle OF August might prove to
be reliable.
Many bodily ills result from habltual con-
stipatlon, and fine constitution may be
weakened and ruined by simple neglect.
There is no medicine, for regulating the
bowels and restoring q natural action to the
digestive organs, equal to Ayers Pills.
An exchange says eve have 1t on author
ity, that il you take half of good cantaloupc,
fill it with ice cream and cat it, you will
think you are III heaven" We suggest that,
to the end that you may not get the proposed
destinations mixed, it would be well to utter
q word of caution against eating the other
half.
DANGEROUS FALT.-Miss Mamie Wine
brcnner of this place and Miss Fannie Ger
nand of Graccham were thrown from a
conveyance at the Harvest Home on Friday
last, by the sudden starting ola horse. The
full force of the fall came upon the back OF
their heads and they were rendered inscnsl-
bic for time. We are gratitied to learn that
no serious results followed.
Coon MUs1c.--On Monday evening last
coteric of genuine musical artists assembled
at Mr.. Nj. G.. Cramcr's residence and RECALLED
the invited guests with charming musical
treat. Prof. Rodcnmaycr, Mr.. Chas. Sticti
and Prof Hobbs, the former two on the
piano, the latter on the cornet rendered
number of selections of classical music. Miss
Fannie Landcrs, with Mr.. Sticf as accom-
PIANIST sang several charming ballads. We
are not so fortunate rs to hear music of this
order at frequent intervals.
ooh! where shall rest be fouud"P
The wOrn-out mother signs:
Stockings to mend, and trousers to darn,
Dishes to wash, and butter to churn,
While my back feels to break, and head and
heart burn
And lite is a constant friction.
The summer came and went,
The matron no longer signs;
Elastic her step, and rounded her check,
Work seems but play, life is now sweet,
And the change was made in one short week,
BY Dr. Pcrcc's Favorlte Prescription.
Positive remedy for those arrangements,
irregularities, and weaknesses 50 common to
womanhood.
BAsEBALL.-On Thursday last the
Wavnesboro', Pa baseball club visited tins

Edgcmont, or about one hundred miles extra
ride
RAPID WoRK.-On Friday morning las,
the workmcn began repairs on the washout
on the w. NJ. r. r. west of town. AT noon
we went over the road and determined within
ourselves that SO great damage could not be
repaired until probably at some hour on
Sunday, vet by the intelligent and persistent
endcavors of Mcssrs. Straw, 10y and Baxter,
this work was completed in time to send the
Fast Mail through to Hagcrstown on Satur-
day morning.
This gives evidence Of the exccllcn, man
aremcnt and thOroughness of the men en-
ployed to take care of the interests of this
corporation.
Few who found the trains running rcgu-
Mrly on Saturday knew of the rapid and
intelligent hcadwork required to put all this
damaged track, emhankment and masonry
in shape in so short a period of time: praise
is due the w. Md, and we are pleased to aid
in rendering it.
4 street &kir was located on the Public
Square last evening, engaged in selling corn
sayc and giving away prizes which were
supposed by his victims to be valuable, but
winch really contained little pieces OF soap
of no value Whatever 1t was the same old
game played here before, and there is meyer
Il lack of gulliblc people who part with their
money on the supposition that they were
beating the man ont of a prize We do not
pity any ofthcm a particle, and they are not
entitled to the sympathy Of anyone because
