OPENING OF BRADD0CK HEIGHTs.-Brad
dock Heights was opened for the season on
Wednesday last, and many persons took adj
vantage Of the occasion to visit this beautiful
resort. At night there were 800 or 400
people present. Dancing was INDUCED IN
until late hour music being furnished by
the Frederick Select Orchestra, fine organ
ization. The best people of Frederick were
present and the order could not have been
better. Cars will leave Frederick for the
Heights every honr each night during the
summer. The last regular car for Middle
town passes the Heights every night at o
o'clock.
The grounds are beautifully lighted by
electricity, and the observatory is covered
with incandcscent lights. Cars run direct
to the Heights. AS the fare from Middle
town to the Heights is but 10 cents round
trip, including admission to the grounds.
the probability is that it will become quite an
attraction for our people, especially on warm
nights.
Mr.. Samuel M. Kefauyer, residing a short
distance west of town, has secured the booth
privileges on the grounds for the summer.
A fine building for the purpose, containing
two departments, has BEEN erected on the
south side of the observatory, and this too
is lighted by electricity. Mr.. Kefauver's
two daughters assist him. - Valley Register.

Some Good Hunting Stories.

John Hook, an old hunter OF Capon
Bridge, Hampshire county, W: Va,
while hunting for squirrels could not
withstand the temptation to shoot a
deer which crossed his path. 1t was
a fine animal, weighing 204 pounds,
and he had to employ a horse and
wagon to get it home. He then IN
formed on himself before Justice +.
c. Holt and paid $50 fine for violating
the game law, which says that no
deer Shall be killed until October 10,
1901. Hooks friends claim that half
the fine should have been returned to
him, as the law stipulates that half OF
the fine goes to the informer.
Wild turkeys are very plentiful IN
all sections. In Hampshire county
thew are eating up the farmers little
supply of corn. According to the new
law in West Virginia, they are not to
be killed for two years.
James Hamilton, while hunting
near Petersburg, last week, killed a
large wildcat lust after it had sprung
on a squirrel. He shot it in the neck
with a Winchester, the ball cutting of
the head of the squirrel, which it was
carrying in its mouth.

Something of sensation has been
created in Canada by mandate pro-
mulgated by Archbishop Cleary, which
says: 1--WE hereby declare with all the
authority of the church vested in us
as Archbishop of Kingston and your
chief pastor that any Catholic in our
metropolitan city or diocese who shall
hereafter presume to enter any non
Catholic edifce to assist at what is
termed marriage ceremony or SER
vice for the Dead even though he
should not take an active part in the
performance, renders himself guilty Of
mortal sin by dishonoring the religion
of his baptism, defying the laws of the
Holy Church and giving public scam
dial before society, and we furthermore
reserve to ourself alone the power to
absolve from this heinous sin" The
only apparent reason for this mandate
was recent marriage in Congrega-
tional church. Catholics were present
as witnesses at this ceremony.

FREDERICKSBURG. VA,
October 25 1897.

October 25, 1897.
DEAR REGIsTER-This town in Tide
water Virginia was settled at very
early date. II has much of interest in its
historical events. Here lived the moth
er of George Washington. The old home
seems in good state of preservation
and sheltered some of the $50 delegates
to the Presbyterian Synod last week.
Her monument, Erected by her coun>
try-women," and so inscribed, is on the
edge OF town. For sixty years the old
monument laid here half finished, and
relic hunters Clipped it so anew one had
TO be built.
The town has shoe factories, foundry
and wagon works, but shipping cross-ties
seems the biggest industry. Three
steamers loaded with six or seven thou
sand each were ready to leave.
There was time between sessions Of
Synod to visit the battlefield. Here, on
December 13, 1862, Gen. Burnside sent
fourteen regiments in five different at
tempts to break through the Confeder-
ate line, but the Southern soldiers, pro-
tected by stone walls on each side of the
road, fred with deliberation and at close
range, and the ten-acre field in front was
so covered with dead that you could not
step without touching one. Over 5000
Union soldiers are buried in the national
cemetery on Marye's Heights, which they
tried so hard to scale during the battle.
Part of this number, however, were
brought from other battlefields, the Will
derness and Charlottesville, eight or
ten miles distant.
The Chatham House, across the river,
where Washinton and Lee courted their
wives, was Gen. Burnside's headquarters
during the battle, and on the ridge a
hundred cannons answered an equal
number of Confederate pieces during the
assault.
The river here is between one and two
hundred yards wide. George Washing
ton is said to have thrown a silver dollar
across it, which calls to mind Mr.. Evart's
witticism, "a dollar went much further
in those days"
The people entertained Synod with
true Virginia hospitality and are devout
Christians. All denominations unite on
Sunday night services.
Yours truly,
JAS NJ. ENGLE.

"For five weeks lived on cold water,

terribly from indigestion.

They are generally thin and weak.
They may eat enough, but they don't
digest enough. Much of what they eat
turns into poison. If this keeps on there S

At the request of our friend, James l..
McChan, we are asked to state to the
public that the kissing match which
was published in last week S paper about
him happened some time ago, and by
publishing this it will give the young
man happiness, as he has been made sad
by the piece in last weeks edition, as
some of his young ladies, who are his
friends now, do not like for such pieces
to appear in the paper while they are so
much devoted to him. Mr.. McChan
wishes to state also that the next piece
that will appear in the REGISTER will be
more serious than kissing, as it will be
matrimonial. Respectfully,
