Fire at ChdriestoWn.

IRE at ChGTIeSfoWn.
Charlestown was visited by ser
ious fire about noon last Monday. 1t
originated in the stable OF Mr.. Lewis
d. Getzendaner, in rear OF his hard
ware store, and when discovered
flames were bursting out the side next
to the alley Three of Mr.. Getzendan-
er's valuable Hambletonian horses
were in the stable, and another OF
them in the stable Of Mrs. Miller, just
across the alley. They were all got
ten out, but one Of them, the fine bay
stallion Captain was so severely
burned that it had to be killed, and
another will perhaps also die. Mr..
Getzendaner's two stables and corn
house were burned, and his long shed
nearly all destroyed. On these build
ings there was an insurance OF 500,
with agency Of Mr.. David Howell.
There was no insurance on his horses,
harness. etc, and his loss will be 500
or $500. The stable OF Mrs. Nj. '.
Miller and one attached to the par
sonage property of the NJ. f, Church
South, on the opposite side OF the al
lev, were both burned-the former in
sured with agency OF Washington &
Alexander for S75, land latter with
agency of Mr.. G. F. Gallaher for Ii

An Interesting Event.

M "toi eob'J E'S"''
We acknowledge the receipt of an
invitation to attend the 22nd annual
fair at Winchester, which will be held
week after next, September Sth to
18th. The Times says that the exhi-
bition will be notable one in many
respects, and worthy Of patronage on
its solid merits. The lists in all de
partments are rapidly filling up, and
there is no reason to doubt that it
will be the best exposition OF the re
sources OF the famous Valley ever held
within its limits. The management
has contracted for several entirely
novel features for the entertainment
OF its patrons, including a balloon as
cension and parachute leap on three
days; japanese Cor daylight fire
works and u free circus entertain
ment, with an extended and attractive
programme by Robt. Stickney, the
horseman, and Max Hugo, the clown,
known to all CIRCUS goers, every day
during the fair. Negotiations are
pending for a trotting and running
OK, which rivals the best horses either
under the saddle or in harness.
Athletic sports will also be a promi-
nent feature. The racing programme
is the most attractive, in its arrange
ment and purses, offered by any fair
Of its rank in the country, and will be
sure to attract good horses. The
opening address will be delivered by
Col. Thomas Whitehead, Commits
sioner Of Agriculture for Virginia.

The presence OF Rev. DR.. julius
Grammer, of Baltimore, in Shepherds

The presence OF Rev. DR.. julius
Grammer, of Baltimore, in Shepherds
town the past two weeks has been the
occasion Of deep pleasure to the church
goers of our town. The announce
ment that he would preach in the
Episcopal Church last Sunday morn
ing drew large congregation from
the town and country, and the excel
lent sermon that was delivered was
highly appreciated and greatly en-
joyed. His text was from the first
chapter Of Romans, 10th verse: For
l am not ashamed Of the gospel OF
Christ" The logical, forcible manner
in which DIR. Grammer e1pounded his
text, the Christian courage and man
illness that pervaded his theme, the
practical application Of the points
that he brought out, and the eloquence
and impressive earnestness OF the
speaker, claimed from the first and
held to the last the attention OF his
hearers. Although the sermon wasfull
of the evidences Of deep research and
yet and Of highly cultivated mind,
study it was so simple and plain that a
child could understand it. At the
earnest solicitation Of the Y. NJ. G.. A.
OF this place, DR.. Grammer delivered
an address to young men Sunday
evening in the Presbyterian Church,
All the other churches were closed,
the various ministers assisting in the
service. Like the other sermons of
the Doctor, it was solid, practical,
forcsful. His solemn words Of warn
ing to the young men, the CHEEKY
promises that he held up to those who
lived blameless lives, could not but
impress those who heard it, and the
fifty minutes he occupied seemed
scarce a half hour. Few ministers
have made as strong an impression
on our people as DIR. Grammer has
made, and we hope that it may not
be the last time that his voice shall
be heard in our pulpits.

bacco. During recent years nervous pros
tration and nerve exhaustion haveSjlllct'
ed many professional and business men'
They are not addicted to stimulants OF
opeats These sufferers never fail to find
speedy relief in the bichloride of gold
cure, and in a few days they feel that
they have nerves of iron, equal to any
strain.
Perhaps new remedy was never SUBJ
iected to closer scrutiny than the Kee.
ley cure. Sensational newspapers pub
lish every alleged relapse, and the three
or four cases found in the past year have
been thoroughly shown up. On the other
hand, there is hardly large town in the
United States where the people do not
see every day one or more men in perfect
health, who, year or two ago, were
nearly dead from the use of stimulsnts or
the exhaustion of their nerves.
The writer of this article has seen the
moderate drinker, the periodical drunk
ard, the opium eater and the nervous
wreck all completely cured under this
treatment. A few may fall in years to
come, but the percentage will be very
small.
No man who gives the institute fair
and honest trial is likely to relapse, un-
less organic disease has mastered him
and destroyed his will power. Occasion
ally, too, there will be a patient who de-
ceives his friends and the physician by
pretending to try the cure, while all the
time his will combats it, and it is his se'
cret intention to return to his old habits.
Such man naturally is not benefited as
a rule, although in some instances men
have been cured against their will.
Perhaps we are at last solving the liq'
nor problem. In most cases men drink
or take opium because their diseased
nerves force them to seek temporary
relief. When their nerves are restored
to their normal condition they are
alright, and cannot be persuaded to try
stimulants or opiates.
Every man who feels any interest in
the welfare Of his fellows should look into
this matter and make up his judgment.
What is said here is purely voluntary
such discovery is beyond the province
of advertising, and its merits should be
freely made known To the world.

How Indians Sell Horns.

at various stations along the Canadi-
an Pacific road in Assiniboia and Aber
ia groups of Indians, chiefly women aud
children, are found on the platforms.
Sometimes they are rather picturesque
for the many colored rags that cover
them. But, as rule, they are dirty,
squalid, and sickly looking lot, and are
anything but attractive. A few men are
among them, and they are all engaged
in the not very lucrative occupation of
selling buffalo horns to the tourists. On
the plains they pick up the horns of the
noble departed bison. Then they set to
work improving the hornsin such way
as to destroy all their value to an intelli-
gent person for what is the use to have
buffalo horns as relics of that departed
animal unless they are like the horns
that the bufaloes used to wear.
First the Indians scrape the horns
with knife until the surface is COM
paratively smooth. Then they file
them for long time, until they are
smoother yet. Finally they take q
stone and begin to polish, and keep up
tho process until the horns are as sue oot!.
as glass and as black and shiny as we'll
nol;Ubod hoot Soma trayelers think tho
products is very pretty, and so the Indians
have an occasional customer. Some
times they make hat rack of several CT
the horns.
A pair of 6ne horns brings from rs
cents to 81 SO, and other specimens con-
tanning several horns are valued at from
So to s.. OF course the Indians will
ask a good deal more than they will
take. During the bargaining not word
is spoken on either side. The Indians
pretend ignorance of English. If the
price is only 50 the tourist offers only 81.
The squaw will shake her head, and f.
nally he decides to do little better. So
he shakes one finger at her, and then
crosses that finger with finger of the
other, which means that lie will give
s1.50. After good deal of oscillations
on both sides 6 bargain is s!ruck.-Bos-
ton Herald.
