EXCHANGE NOTES.

The Herald Of Progress published at
Shenandoah, Page county, says: A sad
case is reported in town, that of boy
who died suddenly OH Tuesday from sn
oyer-indulgence in alcoholic liquor. IL
appears that two or three bOys, living
several miles north of this place, went
fishing on that afternoon and had some
liquor with them. One of them drank of
1t heavily aud after starting home the lad
fell on the road and died before assistance
could reach him.
Winchester Neies Last Tuesday a
Young couple from Frederick county went
over to Hagerstown and were married. 1t
was runaway match. While waiting
for the Winchester train that afternoon
the newly made husband proceeded to
sample the various brands of Hagerstown
whiskey in liberal sort of way, so that
when the train came along he was about
as drunk as a man could well be. The
poor bride was terribly distressed and
wept most pltiously, but her newly-made
lord and master was alike obdurate to
entreaty and tears. Landing in Win
chester the man was nearly helpless, and
an hour afterwards he was seen sitting
stupidity on a pile OF iron crossing plates,
in the rain, with bis fearful but faithful
bride beside him.

nation of Grover Cleveland for President
of the United States.
Mr.. L. Triplett, jr., arose and said that
il IT had beer the case heretofore to ex-
tend as a matter of courtesy the position
of delegates to the National Convention
to the u. S. Senators. of the State, he
would be opposed to doing so at ills time
on account OF the opposition of Senators
Barbour and Daniel to Cleveland, and
thereby disappearing the sentiments
of the vast majority of the Democratic
party. While not put as a motion
for the action of the convention 1t was
plain to see that the speakers remarks
met with the hearty approval of the en-
tire body. After addresses by NJ. L.
Walton and j. n. Brenaman, the conven-
ton adjourned.
