A Most Enjoyable Occasion.

The silver wedding OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert L. Bowers was celebrated at their
home one mile north OF ShepherdStown
last Friday, May 18th. A large number
of invited guests were present, and all,
young and old, were made happy by the
fine social features ofthe gathering. The
dinner was most sumptuous; Everything
that could appeal to the wishes OF the
hungry was in evidence in large supplies.
Fifty-three persons were treated to a
bountiful dinner. Although there was
present only one Methodist preacher and
his wife, the way chicken and turkey were
disposed OF, the whole crowd might have
been adjudged as belonging to the fra
ternity of Methodist preachers. The
bride received many handsome and valu-
able presents. When the guests reluc-
family took their leave il was with pray
er that the happy couple might live to
celebrate their golden wedding.

Notes of the Railroads.

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Com
pany has awarded the contract for remod-
cling the passenger station at Piedmont,
w. Va, at cost OF about 81 900, and the
work will be done at once. This is to be
commended, as must every Improvement
that will add to the comfort OF the patrons
OF the railroad. Yet the B. & o. seems
absolutely Indifferent to the convenience
of the large number OF persons who daily
use the station at Shenandoah Junction.
Here the passengers of both the B. & o.
and n. & w. Railways are herded in
little dirty, unventilated, nasty coops,
without convenienceS or comforts, and
conditions are at times positively Often
sive. The agents and clerical force are
even worse off than the suffering
public, but as they are being paid, they
endure without much grumbling. The
railroad officials ought to see for them
selves how utterly inadequate and how
Objectionable the accommodations are at
this important junction point, and, seeing,
remedy. The Norfolk & Western people
are ready and willing to erect a union
station, most eligible location for which
was acquired years ago, but the B. & o.,
with stupid indifference, fails to join in
the plans for relief. We are beginning to
get real peeviSh about this wretched
shack at the Junction, and we may have
something to say about il later.
A new schedule will 90 into effect on
the B. & o. Railroad on Sunday. A
number of changes in passenger trains
will take place. Train No. 10, which
leaves Shenandoah Junction now at 4.57
a. M. will be made later, arriving at about
$40. Train No. 40, the fast accommoda-
ton from Cumberland, will arrive at the
Junction half hour earlier, at about 9.45
a. m. Train No. s will be about two
hours later, passing the Junction at about
lilo. A new west-bounNtrain will be
put on, No. Is, from New York to Chi
cago, passing the Junction at about 100.
There are a few other changes OF minor
importance thatwe cannot give accurately.

The committee in charge of the meas

Refusal of clearance papers to
trust" ships. refusing entry to Amer
lean ports and the imposition of heavy
fines or the confiscation of such YES
