Care i'm Dressing Poultry.

Poorly dressed poultry is not want
ed on the markets of any city. 1t will,
indeed, sell-always sell, but it brings
no profit. There are in the cities two
classes of buyers-the buyers of first
class goods and the buyers of the poor
and cheap. The latter class is the one
that takes the poorly dressed poultry.
Most of the buyers of this poor stock
make a business of it. They stand
around waiting till the commission
men are anxious to get rid of the poor
stuff left and then buy. The result lie
they always getconcessions. Our read
ers can see that the profits on this kind
of business are small. Such birds
should be eaten at home or disposed
of locally.-Farmers' Review.

LONDON WAS LIKE BOMBAY.
Time When the Streets Were IN
Most Unsa nifary and Disease
breeding Condition.

If explanation is required for the
large diffusion in 1865 of the plague),
it is no doubt to be found in the
character of the population of Lon
don at that time and 20 years later,
when, as Macaulay tells us, 1.-THE
pavement was detestable; all foreign
ers cried shame upon it. The drain
age was so bad that in rainy weather
the cutters soon became torrents.
Several facetious poets have com
memorated the fury with which these
black rivulets roared down Snow Hill
and LudGate Hill, bearing to the
Fleet Ditch. vast tribute of animal
and vegetable filth from the stalls
of butchers and green grocers." The
rich lived in luxury, but they were
comparatively few in number, and
they were in intimate association
with the crowds of poor and unciv-
ilized people who made up the mass
of the population. ST. James square,
occupied by wealthy peers, "was
receptacle for all the offal and Gin
ders, for all the dead cats and dead
dogs of Westminster"
The conditions which now are seen
to foster plague in eastern countries
were then everywhere present in Lon
don, says the Lancet. These condi-
tons have passed away. London still
has it's slrms, but the worst have
gone and only in small proportions
is population to be found compar-
able to that which made up the mass
of the people in 1865. 1t is a some
what striking fact that the London
county council is now engaged in the
clearance of the Clare Market area,
which was the abode of fashionable
people in the time of the great
plague. Conditions involving want of
air and light, bar arrangement of the
houses and streets, which were then
deemed adequate for the well-to-do,
are not now regarded as fit for the
poorest of the population of modern
London.

The Plans for Our New College.

A special meeting of the Board Of Re-
gents of the State Normal Schools was
held at Parkersburg last Saturday to
consider the plans submitted by archi-
tects for the new college building at
Shepherdstown. An invitation had
been extended to the members Of the
incoming board to attend the meeting
for consultation, and Messrs. Strauss,
Robinson and Snyder were present.
Six designs were offered by architects
from this State, Baltimore and Wash
ington. These were gone over by the
board, who found favor with three
plans and rejected the others unless
certain arrangements were made.
Several architects who had prepared
plans were unable to get to Parkers-
burg on account of the blockade of
the railroads by high water, and in or
der to give them an opportunity to be
heard, and to further consider the de-
signs already received, the board agreed
to meet again in Shepherdstown on Fri
day, May 8, when the old and the new
boards will consult with the architects
and probably adopt plan.
Several very handsome and deslra-
BILE designs were submitted at Parkers-
burg, and we can assure our people
that the regents mean to provide for
us frst-class building, one that will
be credit to the State and a source
Of pride to our people generally.

Work has commenced on the large
new tabernacle at Pen-Mar, which the
denominations holding reunions there
have SO long ardsntly wished for. The
building will be on the site of the old
rostrum and will be 100 by l28 feet,
having assating capacity of :, oOOpeo-
pie. Ornamental pillars will support
the roof and the seats will be substan-
tial board benches. The building will
not be inclosed, but canvas curtains
will be arranged for storm protection.
The tabernacle is the result of the ef-
forts of the Reformed, Presbyterian
and Lutheran denominations, which,
for several months, were in negotia-
tons with the Western Maryland Rail
road Company for the erection of the
big building. 1t will be completed
before the opening of the park season
and probably the first use Of it will
be for a patriotic meeting on July 4.
The Lutheran reunion will be held on
July Is, the Presbyterian on July %

Mad Dogs Not a Myth.

That mad dogs have been abroad
lately in this section seems to be not
a myth by any means, but of a truth
a dangerous reality. We have already
heretofore mentioned the cattle and
hogs bitten and killed and the two per-
sons bitten near Rocks Ferry, who were
compelled to seek the mad stone across
the mountain. Now we are informed
that dog supposed to be rabid made
his appearance last Thursday at the
farm Of Robert E. Boyd, near Summit
Point, and was shot at three times with
out being killed. Later he bit Joseph
Gruber and nephew and was after
wards killed.
Amad dog was killed near the lower
tollgate ON the Charlestown and Har-
per's Ferry turnpike few days ago, but
not until after he had bitten young
steer belonging to Nealy Carter in
that neighborhood, cow belonging to
Mrs. Eliza Cockrell near Old Furnace,
and hog of VIM. J. Moler's near
Baksrton. The COW and hog developed
unmistakable signs of rabies last week,
and were killed. Other Developments
are awaited with intense interest by the
residents of the localities named

Body Recovered.

pONJ NNNO'SiSas
The body of Miss Mary Callan, who
was drowned on March 18th at Little
Orleans while she was crossing the
Potomac river, wasrecovered last Sun
day afternoon at point about six
miles below the scene Of the fatal ac-
cident. Ever since the drowning un-
renting search had been made for the
body and divers had been employed
to aid in the work. Last Sunday af-
ternoon the food in the river released
a quantity of drift in which the body
was lodged, and as it foated in the
rapid current it was seen by young
man named Morris Orndorf, B. 90.
employee, just below Dam No. 6, who
succeeded in drawing it ashore. Her
relatives were at once notified and the
body was prepared for burial, the fun
eral being held in the Episcopal church
at Hancock Tuesday. The church was
crowded with friends. Rev. Jabez ..
Koou, the rector, read the Office for the
burial Of the dead. Interment was
made in the family lot in the church
cemetery. The pallbearers were Geo.
Callan, of Dufields, Charles and Har-
ry Callan, brothers of the deceased;
DR.. George L. Carder, OF Cumberland,
a brother-in-law; Ernest G. Hender-
son and DR.. P. Elwood Stigsrs of
Hancock. The young lady body was
not greatly decomposed and the fea-
lures were recognizable. 1t had evil
IDENTIFY been submerged in the water
and this had preserved it. A reward
of 800 was outstanding for the re-
covery of the body.

High Water.

High Water.
The heavy rains and SHOWS in the
mountains, beginning on Friday last,
caused high waters in most of the West
Virginia streams. The Potomac got
out of banks Sunday and Monday.
The South Branch, the big and little
Capon and other streams poured out
in foods and caused the river to get
higher than it has been for several
years. The water flooded the lowlands
in various places, but no really serious
damage was done. The tracks of the
B. & o. Railroad were submerged at
several points and trains were consid-
cradle delayed, the tracks being I'M
passable for time.
At Shepherdstown the high water
attracted the attention Of the people
but there were few incidents of note,
The scow belonging to R. G. Miller
broke loose from it's moorings on Mon
day and was carried down the river,
and several small boats were also lost.
The dwelling-house of Mra. James, at
Bridgeport, was surrounded by water
and the basement flooded, but the liv-
ing apartments were not reached. The
water got into the county road below
town and washed it to some extent.
One of the peculiarities of the food
was the stencil that arose from the
river. The water was, of course, in
tensely muddy, and it had a foul odor
that could be smelt a considerable dis
lance away. Some one suggested that
it was a providential food, in that it
was undoubtedly carrying off an i'm
mense amount Of filth from the shores
of the rivers and creeks and possibly
preventing disease and epidemics.
At many places the water over
flowed the banks of the canal, and
considerable damage was done by the
washing of the towpath and by the
deposit of sand and mud in the bed
of the canal. There were some breaks
in the bank of the canal above Han
cock, but these can be repaired soon.
Navigation has not yet been resumed
all the way through, nor is the amount
Of damage fully known.
