irving to Blow Up Dr.. Henshaw.

What is believed to have been a
dastardly attempt on the part OF IN
known persons to do some members
of the family of DR.. W. T. HeEshaw
serious bodily injury was made In the
rear of the home of the former mayor
in Martinsburg one night last week.
Shortly after II o'clock the mem
bers of DR.. Henshaw's family, who
had retired for the night, were awak'
ened by two heavy explosions IN a
small enclosed yard in the rear OF
the residence. The explosions were
similar to those made by a revolver
or gun of heavy calibre, or might
have been made by torpedOes or dy-
Mantle. DR.. Henshaw was unable to
explain the explosions, but threw con-
siderable light on the matter by stat
ing that he believed it to be the work
ofsome individual who had been send
ing him anonymous letters for the
past six weeks, in which the writer
had told him of dire things that
would happen to him and members
of his family in consequence OF his
political activity. DR.. Henshaw
states that he believes the incident
was the outcome of political animosi.
ties, fostered by the prominence and
activity he has displayed in local
political affairs, and by sore spots
during his terms as mayor of the city,
and that the perpetrators are men OF
disreputsble character whom ne has
punished for iDfractions of law, or
some obscure political heller who has
been endeavorlng to scare him into
retiring from politics.

Observer wishes that the city folks
might see and enjoy the birds that
are making such sweet music in and
about Shepherdstown this spring
There's a concert every day. 1t be-
gins at daylight with the liquid mel
ody OF the cardinal and ends at dark,
when the robins sing their sleepy song
and the bulbats come out to croak
their goodnight. 1t is agreed among
those persons who note such things
that it has been many a year since
there have been as many birds in this
neighborhood as there are this spring.
The trees are filled with multitudes
OF songsters, not only the usual ia
vorites, but many rare and beautiful
birds with which our people have but
slight acquaintance. The writer has
never seen so many robins. These
redbreasted beauties are everywhere,
and some Of them have already raised
their first brood and started them out
in the world for themselves. 1t is
marvellous to see how accurately the
robins can locate the worms crawling
near the surface of the ground. The
sprightly bird will hop along the
grass, mold his ear close to the ground
and then quick as a fash bore into
the earth and draw forth the reluc-
tant worm that has been so unlucky
as TO make an inhnite5imal noise for
which the alert robin has been listen
ing. Imagine the keenness of hearing
that enables bird to hear the sound
of an earthworm drawing itself
through the sod

There is vast deal of pleasure to
be gotten from the observation and
study of birds. Their ways are ever
interesting, and the more one knows
of them the more one wants to know.
Their instincts are marvellous and
their habits past finding out, How
necessary they are in the economy of
nature, how greatly they add to the
happiness of mankind. How sweet it
is to know that not even a sparrow
falleth to the grosnd without our
Fathers acknowledgement one of them
is forgotten before God.

Winchester Comes into Her Fortune.

The Pennsylvania State Supreme
Court on Monday reconstructed the
will of the late John Handley, OF
Scranton, who left an estate largely
devoted to charity, and the beneh-
Charles will now receive the amounts
named in the document. Mr.. Hand
ley created 2O-year trust in favor
of St. Patricks Orphan Asylum OF
Scranton, the House of the Good
Shepherd, Scranton, and city of Win
chester, Va. The orphan asylum was
bequeathed $4,000, the House of the
Good Shepherd $4,000, and the city
of Winchester $25O,O00 for the erec-
ton of the Handley Library. The
income was to be divided every SIX
months. The residue Of the estate
at the end of 20 years, the will d.
rected, should be gwen TO the city
of Winchester for erection of school
houses for the education Of the poor.
The Scranton court which originally
heard the contest decided against the
will because OF its alleged inconsls-
tency. The Supreme Court admits
portions of the will conflict, but says
the intent of Mr.. Handley is clear,
and orders the estate divided.

The Reformed Cemetery seems to
be the rendezvous of many birds,
but the blackbirds simply take the
place. They are not neat in their
habits and they are not welcome Wis
itors, but they are suffered to remain
for the sake ofother birds, that would
be disturbed if they were driven out.
The noisiest place IN town in the early
morning and at sunset is this ceme-
terry, where the birds sing and chatter
incessantly.
