Another Relic Gone.

The present year has been hard
one on relics in Shepherdstown. Some
of its most antique buildings have
fallen before the march of modern i'm
provement, aud familiar landmarks.
OUTLYING their usefulness, have at
last been removed. Last week an
other old building was demolished.
The old blacksmith shop and foundry
on the Sheetz property, opposite the
College building, which had almost
fallen Of its own accord, was torn
down by Mr.. VIM. NJ. Sheet The
exact age of the old structure is not
known. but it must have been over 4
hundred vears-certaiulY it was one
of the oldest buildings in the town.
Old men say that it was an ancient
establishment when they were boys.
1t was used by Mr.. Sheetz's father and
grandfather, who were gunsmiths by
trade. Here guns were made by hand
every pant of them save the barrels,
which We're bought IN the rough and
finished and fitted TO the stocks.
Locks, stocks and brass ornaments
were al made by hand, and guns
were TUNED out of that shop which,
il not as Handsomely finished as mod
ern firearms, would shoot quite as
true and last & great deal longer.
Gunmaking required considerable
skill as it was carried on in those days,
and much ingenious work was done
by Jecob Sheetz, the elder, and Will
liam. his son-both OF whom are well
remembered by our olderpeople. The
old gun shop is still standing, and has
many interesting relies of long ago
within its time-stained walls.

Is Russia on the verge of another ter rible famine? It appears that there has been only temporary relaxation of the privations of last winter, and no perma- nent alleviation of them or their causes. The poverty of the peasants is just as great as before, and their capacity for endurance has been reduced by what they have already been forced to bear. The relief funds raised last winter have all been distributed, and the food and money which the government provided have been exhausted. In this condition these people are forced to meet another winter with practically empty granaries. The oat crop was failure, the rye near ly so, the wheat little better and the root crops poor. The cattle and horses that went year ago have not been re- placed, nor have the swine and the poul- try. Count Tolstoi predicts misery and starvation to thousands this winter. He Is already appealing for more funds and food and Is planning to repeat his noble relief work of last winter. The peasants themselves are helpless, and will passive ly succumb to starvation and the plague unless some one comes to their rescue. With splendid crops in Uncle Sam's do- main, her people should not forget to thank Almighty God, nor pass by the distress of their suffering neighbor. One or two more famines ought to melt the heart of even so despotie tyrant as the Czar of the Russias.

A BAD FIRE AyERTED

Mr and Mrs Brown returned to their residence on Elm street last Friday night at a late hour and immediately noticed a strong smell of burning wood. They could not locate it, but Mr Brown thought it advisable to sit up while and about 3 o'clock fire broke out over the fire place in the dining room. He im- mediately called up his neighbor, Capt John Park, who aroused two or three others and after few minutes of sharp work the fire was extinguished. The house is an old fashioned one with a hugh chimney and large wooden mantel over the fireplace. The indications were that the fire had been smouldering for several days. By the good judgement displayed by the chief of the East Broad way fire company and his able assistants the damage was slight. After all dan. ger had passed the company were enter tained ia very hospitable manner by MT and Mrs Brown who were loud in their praises of the efficiency displayed by their impromptu visitors.

The race continued nearly an hour, the milkman sometimes driving in- to cross streets to elude his pursuer, came very near getting stuck in snowbanks. There Mir Beardsley had him at disad- vantage, as he could more easily follow in his track. At length the milkman's horse became exhausted and he was oblig- ed te stop. Mir Beardsley stopped also, deliberately blanketed his horse and told the man he could wait as long as he, but should fiud out who he was if he follow ed him all day. After resting awhile both went on, and the chase continued until near the Easton line, where Mir Beardsley met an acquaintance who knew the mlkman and told his name and where he lived. He then went back to Bridge port and put the matter into the hands of his lawyer. The consequence was the

AN EXCITING INCIDENT.

Several weeks ago, when sleighs were running, Elliott NJ. Beardsley, while in Bridgeport in light cutter, was run in to by an East Side milkman, in big box sleigh filled with milk cans. The collis- ion was caused solely by the milkman's willfuIness and could easily have been avoided. MT Beardsley requested him to stop, but he paid no attention and drove deliberately into his cutter. When asked his name, he whipped his horse and hur- ried off. Although MT Beardsley's cut ter was badly damaged, he immediately put chase to the milkman, who after driv- ing through several streets in the city
