Something Wrong in Charlestown.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Charlestown SPIRIT, usually most anna
bic and genial, is evidently worked up
to pitch of fiery indignation from
some cause or other. Read these
whitening items, which We clip from
the last issue
Fraud may temporarily prosper,
but Justice Will overtake it in the long
run.
Justice often miscarries and the
innocent frequently suffer at the hands
of the vile-but it's long lane that
has no turn, and wrongs sometimes
right themselves.
The man who wilfully, deliberately
and with malice aforethought, con-
spires to defraud and cheat his fell
low man, is unworthy the patronage
of decent community, and should be
numerically let alone.

Fire al HalltOwn.

The B. & o. Railroad station at
Halltown, which was also occupied as
a postofice, was destroyed by fire last
Wednesday, Agent Johnson had gone
to dinner leaving all safe, as he
thought, but fifteen minutes later
flames were raging inside the building.
How the fire started is not known.
Johnson lost some clothing and $50 of
his own money, and all the tickets
and supplies of the railroad were
burned. Postmaster Eyster lost all
the stamps in the Office, which with
the mails, &C., were consumed. His
loss, however, was refunded by the
Postotfce Department. The loss on
the building is about 81 800, insured
with Washington & Alexander for
$3.50. The station building, which
was of brick, was a very old structure.
It was built when the Valley Branch
was first constructed and when the
old "grasshopper" engines were used
on the line. The trains used to pass
through the building, but when cars
and engines were made larger the
track had to be laid outside.

Fruit Prospects Shaky.

Bad weather set in last Sunday,
when rain and hail fell for a couple Of
hours. This was followed by cold
wave of great severity on Monday
which continued up to this morning
when a snow and rain storm set in.
1t is feared that great damage has
been done to fruit of all kinds, as the
previous mild weather had caused the
peach trees to blossom and other buds
to advance too far for the season.
Later news indicates that the peach
buds are pretty nearly all destroyed.
Examination yesterday in this vicinity
and the latest reports from the Mary
land growers show that there are
very few living germs to be found
among the peach trees, and other
fruits also are greatly damaged.
