Messrs. Sprinkle, Mr.. Lem Karg, and
several others went on hunting ex-
petition, TO the Pendleton, Shenandoah

their plans well, and made a success OF

bears, thirty-three pheasants. and one
large deer, having run five out, but four
of them were got by party on the south
Fork. They returned jubilant.
Hanisonburg Spirit: On Wednesday
night at Charles Town, On the b. & o.
railroad James Kennedy, son Of Mr..
Rodger Kennedy, OF this place. was cut
in two and instantly killed by train of
cars running over him. He vssa brake
man. and was engaged in the performance
of his duties when killed.
This is very sad case, as the young
man, who was only about 20 years old,
was the sole support of bis fathers fam
lily, the father being too old and infirm to
DO much work.
The young man was sober and indus
trous, and his loss to his family IS ire
parable.

Stanton TiRdicatCr The Cbesap, ak
& Ohio Ry. has brought to an end GUS
tom which has prevailed at its Gordons-
Vile depot ever since the day that the
old Virginia Central railroad reached
there, nearly half century age. 1t hst
excluded the "fried chicken" and all Other
walters from its platform and property
and given the St. Johns Hotel the ex
J elusive right to occupy it with two wait
ers only. 1t seems that the great crowt
of walters who brought chairs and made
their day and night homes on the plat
form had become an obstacle to th'
movements of passengers.
