The REGISTER begins with this is
sue its new volume 81. Established
in lS4S, 1t has always been a success

Call girl spring chicken and she
will laugh; call u woman a hen and
she gets mad. Call a young lady a
witch and she will enjoy it; call an
old woman witch and your life is in
danger. Call a girl a kitten and she

a cat and she will hate you.

The fifth daily paperin Hagerstown
has made its appearance-the Herald
and 7'orchHght. Although the last, it
is not by any means the least OF the

duct it is right up in the front rank.
We wish it success.
1t is reported that certain persons
are already shooting cartridges.
This is against the law, and the Rod

to buy cartridges that have been
killed out OF season as it is to shoot
| them.
