the month of January was 1856; the
warmest hour of any day being 40,
and the coolest J.. The average min
imum was 1914 for the same time.
The mean or average temperature
was 26. January 10 was the warm

There were ii clear, s cloudy and 10
partly cloudy days. The prevailing
wind was N. W.
For February the coolest days
were, thus far the 3rd and 9Th, the
thermometer on each of these days
being three degrees below zero. The
remarkable continuation of the ''cold

known that at no time in January or
February was the thermometer more

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as thoy cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition oil the mucous
lining of the Eusiachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out OF ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but
an intiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces,
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case OF deafness (caused
by catarrh) that cannot he cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars free.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

Mountain State While capitalists
are busy in the development of our
mines and forests, they should not
loose sight of the fact that the medi.
cinal springs OF this State are among
the finest IN the country. Within
the past decade West Virginia has
made rapid strides toward advance
ment, and Berkeley Springs during
that time has grown right along,
steadily aud surely. Many new res
licences have been built, substantial
business houses erected, which clear
ly indicates that we have left the old
beaten track and have entered the
new route which marks this progress

that our doors swing outward we

BERKELEY SPRINGS.

The people of this place are graft
fed with the movement which is on
foot for the building of fine, large
hotel and The Improvement of the
park and baths. If the Legislature
will only come to the rescue and help
on the project it may mean an era of
prosperity never heard of before in
the annals of this widely known and
famous summer resort. The leasing
of the grounds by the trustees shows
that they are alive and want to keep
step with the onward march of the
nineteenth century civilization. A
small faction seems to he antagoniz-
ing the movement. but the public
spirited citizens are largely in the
majority, hence their efforts will
likely prove futile. The progressive
people of this county are not sleep
ing. West Virginia is rapidly COM
ing to the front as one of the leading
states in the Union. Our mines and
vast forests of valuable timber are
being developed, railroads are being
built, tanneries are going up to util-
ize the enormous quantities of oak
and hemlock bark within our borders,
hence it does not require prophetic
eye to forecast the future Of our little

PoLIrrcAL RELICS AND Or MoNE

POLITICAL RELICS AND OBJ MONEY.
Mr.. VIM. W Diffenderfer, OF this
city, is in possession of some rare
relics which we had the luck to see
the other day. They consist of some
old colonial money and political
badges in the days of "Tippacanoe
and Tyler too" The first of these
is an elegant steel plate of W. Fl. H.
Harrison on sstin ribbon. below
which are like portraits OF Washing
ton and Tyler, beneath which are the
words First in war, fr-t in peace
and first in the hearts of his coun-
trvmen." The clog cabin is at the
bot ON, and revives in those who are
old enough to remember a lively
memory of that stirring pol .tical
epoch. Another badge contains a
portrait of Henry Clay, with whom
Frelinghuysen was ON thew hig tick
ct. After quoting from Clay "I'd
rather be right than President" the
badge names Clay as the embodi.
ment of the Wing principles. These
were the property of Mr.. Lewis For
sythe, of Frederick county Va, faith
er of Mrs. Diffenderfer. The colonial
money is interesting because of it's
age and good state CT preservation.
The first is a dollar of Maryland is
sued ITO on parchment, The words
"To counterfeit is DEATH are con-
spicuously printed on its rear. There
is also 3-shilling note of Maryland
of IT'S. The l2-shilling, or SO note
Of Pennsylvania of TIT contains a
pretty cut of the Pennsylvania coat
Of arms. 1t was the work of the
John Dunlop Printing House, some
of whose progeny are still in that
business in Philadelphia. The finest
one is the l9 note of Virginia issued
10 l775; its size is SKI inches and
the Virginia coat of arms IS quite
prominent. It is endorsed by Rob-
ert Carter Nicholas, Treasurer, and
is 100 years old.

THAT LADY Col NEL.-An inter.

Charleston, February 3.-Quite a
little bre. re has been stirring around
the executive quarters at the capitol
and it is stated that there is very
great estrangement between Cover
nor MacCorkle and his private sec
rotary, Mr.. john B. White, as q re
suit Of which Mr.. white is in Wash
lnoton now and may not return to
resume at all. It is alleged that it
all came about through the appoint
ment Of Miss Humphreys, OF Gin
cinnati, as colonel by the Cover
nur, in which affair it is claimed that
White exceeded his authority. Il
is very difficult to obtain the exact
facts, but the affairs furnishing food
Cor great deal of gossip.
Governor MacCorkle says there
is no foundation for the story that
his private secretary has resigned or
contemplates doing so.-ED.
