on Monday morning last after an ill

Charlestown in 1859 There is now,
we believe, but one survivor of that
iury-Mr. George w Boyer, OF Shen-
audoah Junction, this county. De
spite the dire prophecies made by
fanatics at the time, the iurymen all
lived to a good old age, several of
them being over eighty years old
when they died.

were inferred in Elmwood Cemetery.

TERED in Emwood Cemetery. Mrs
| Osborne, who was in the Both Year of
her age, leaves husband and little
daughter to mourn her loss. Her
maiden name was Lansdale, and she
was a resident Of Frederick county,
Md, before her marriage. Her un-
timely death is greatly deplored by
large circle of friends.
Mrs s. A. Graham, an old resident
of Harper's Ferry, and for many years
proprietress of millinery and dry

The Railroad IS Always on Top.

-
There have been some interesting in
cidents at Shenandoah Junction this
week growing out Of fight between
the Norfolk & Western Railroad and
Mr. James w. McGarry. The compa-
rs has been filling i'll with dirt the
long trestle there, and one Of the eff
fects Of so doing is the closing OF Il
road on the property Of Mr.. McGar-
ry, to which Mr.. McGarry quite nat
urally objected. The company went
right Oh, though, filling up Oh either
side Of the disputed point first. Mr..
McGarry demanded that work be
stopped. aud Tuesday his request was
complied with and he shoveled some
Of the dirt away.
Then the railroad people withdrew
their forces, stopped work at the
stone-crusher at Shepherdstown, and
assembled all hands at the big steam
scoop on the other side of the river
By ten o'clock Tuesday night they
had forty carloads of earth ready TO
move, and two locomotives quietly
hauled them out to the Junction. The
men slung dirt as they never slung it
before, and when daylight came Wed
nesday morning the big hole had been
filled up level with the track. The
company was safe from injunction'
Mfr. McGarry was baffled, and another
Illustration was given OF the fact that
the railroads generally control the
earth.

strength and vitality of the Young

young men ofiall Protestant churches
is subject Of earnest cougratulation
for all Intelligent aud liberal minded
christians. The organic expression OF
christian unity which il furnishes the
world, is OF untold value in the educa-

recognition of that great principle.
Its direct agency in the religious
training OF an exceptionally restless
class of pupils is felt and acknowledg-

Protestant churches.

Larraway Bennett, who lives at
Shanghai, Berkeley county, started
TO Martinsburg, on horseback, one
day last week. Just as he reached
the top of North Mountain, two
masked men stepped from some
bushes and demanded his money.
He refused, and, reaching in his
nocket. drew a revolver, but before
he could use it, was overpowered by
the robbers, who took it away from
him and shot him twice, one shot
entering his side and the other his
right hand, coming out above the
wrist They then beat him into in
sensibility, and robbed him OF all the
money he had, which was but two
dollars and thirt, five cents. LARA
way was found by some men passing
along, and is now in serious condi-
ton.
