The season for painting up aud making
old thirgs look new is here, and quite a
number of our people seem to be takin e
advantage of it. as we have noticed that
our brush showers, and we have some
mighty good ones, are kept busy all the
time. Nothing adds to the appearance Of
your property or pays better than a liberal
use of paint. 4 considerable amount of
it could be used to great advantage in
this place.

MIR. NJ. b. Wander had his face very
painfully cut at the stables OF the Shen-
andoah House, on Thursday. He had
gone into the stall to get his horse when
the animal became frightened aud tore
loose the plank to which he was tied, one
end of it striking Mr. Wander a severe
blow cutting a deep cash under the eye
and across the nose. DR.. II II. Irwin
gave the necessary surgical attention.
We are informed that some young boy S
from Woodstock, broke into the Hotel
School House, near town, one day last

threw it ont of the building, broke num-

This has been very unfayOrable sea
son, it is said for the lark peelers. The
cold and wet weather has greatly retaTd- !
ed the work. There are many pccuharl-
ties about the business which the in
experienced do not know, one of which is
that cool wave will stop the flow OF sap
10 an hours time, and make the bark
cling as tight to the tree as it does IN
midwinter another is that the season
generally closes suddenly. The sap has
been known TO be flowing freely and the
bark slipping nicely when the peelers
stopped for dinner. and on their return to
work an hour later they couldn't move it,
thus closing the season for that year.
Mr. WIN. T. Shaffer, of this place, who
has been helpless and a great sufferer for
many months, still continues very i'll. The
members of his family are completely
worn out and broken down with the cease
less nursing and attention tnat lie requires
day and night. 1t is IA case that appeals
to our sympathies too strongly to be dis
regarded. Let the men of the town see
to it at once that this worn out family
have at least an occasional nights rest.
Act at once. Don't wait for some other
person to take the first step. This is
