It has been worn very thin by the sun melting it on top and the current cutting it from below, and it is not likely to do auy damage whatever. The ground-hog didn't see his shad, ow last Thursday, but he hasn't toted fair on the weather question, for a' that. Friday was a pretty nice sort of a day, but since then there has been all sorts of weather. The report of the State Auditor, which has just been issued, shows that there is due the State from A. F.

Davis, late sheritT of Jellerson county, the sum of $13,209.33 on account of the State and general school tax. The lianuis Distillery Company, Martinsburg, have their third warehouse about completed. They are now holding in bond in their waiehouse over 20,000 barrels of whiskey, and the new warehouse will room for at least 12,000 more. The young men of Martinsburg have organized a military company. 11.

H. Emiuert lias been elected captain, W. N. Linch first lieutenant, and N. W.

Jones, second lieutenant. There are about fifty members enrolled aud are daily adding more. Many acres of pine land bordering the Conococheague creek above town, which afforded roosting places for thousand of crows, is said to be literally covered with dead birds that froze aud starved to death during the extremely cold Williamsport Ltadtr. Signor Bosco, the prestidigitateur, gave an entertaining performance in the town hall Wednesday night. He used all his profits in giving away quite nice presents to holders of lucky tickets, but it was money doubtless well spent in advertising Thursday night's performance.

Uncle Jesse Peterson aud his wife have both been suffering from severe colds the past week. Some one told Uncle Jesse that whiskey aud quinine were good for colds, so he got half a pint of whiskey and ten ceuts worth of quinine. Then he gave his wife the quinine, and he took the whiskey. They both got well. Some tiuic ago Mr.

Butler Beckwith was unfortunate enough to break one of bis middle toes. The member has ever since given him some trouble, persistently refusing to knit, and had practically become dead. On Tuesday last Dr. Richardsou, assisted by Dr. Bishop and Mr.

Mr. Leo Wheat, of Berryville, and Miss Katie Matthaei, of Martinsburg, both of whom are musicians of the highest order, will shortly give a concert here in the town hall, and when they come we have no doubt that they will have a crowded house.

The date will be announced hereafter. Tue stockholders of the Cleveland Bay Company, that owns the horse "Sir Charles," for which $1,600 was paid, held a meeting in Shepherdstown last Saturday. We understand that a handsome profit was realized on the investment last year. Several persons tried to buy additional stock of the company, when it was found that the shares ranged from 15 to 25 per cent above par. The County Court broke the deadlock over the election of a commissioner tor Charlestowa district by unanimously electing Mr.

John T. Colstou to that position last Monday. We think the selection is a lirst rate one. Mr. Colston is an intelligent, energetic farmer, with an abundance of jroiid nractical everv-dav sense.

aud is just the sort of man that is needed in tlmt position. The young folks of this neighbor, hood have been having good times the past month. There lrns been one or two parties nearly every week. Last Friday uignt there wai quite a I gathering at a party given by Mr. Harney Hoffman.

Monday night Miss Hyrle entertained about titty of tier young friends at Iter home near town, aud those who were present say that the evening was most enjoyably spent. J. Edward Shaw, elocutionist, of Dickinson College, gave very tine entertainment in the town hall last Saturday evening. He rendered his selections in a masterly way, aud in reciting 'Ostler Joe" he almost moved the audience to tears. Mr.

Shaw lias a fine voice anil, in fact, possesses all the qualities of a class elocutionist, ile also rendered sotue fine selections on the harmonica aad autoharp which were much enjoyed. Reckon we will have to knock under concerning that Rocky Marsh snake story. Mr. Knadler seut us the snake the other day as an evidence of his truthfulness. It appears that the snake was killed at the spring near Mr.

Cross's house. It had probably gone to the spring to get warm, for it is a remarkable fact that the colder the weather is the warmer the water that flows from the spring. This phenomenon has often been noticed, but no explanation can be given. It is said that on an extremely cold day the water is disagreeably warm for drinking purposes. joy anu regret wuiniujct tlie same time.

We are certainly glad to know that our townsman, Mr. 0. R. Stanford, sold his speedy and game stallion Startle Hoy at a big rouud price. Hut surely we regret to lose this grandly bred Ilambletouianstock from our county.

He had just established himself a sire of highly finished, nervy colts; his first two crops showed so much promise that maav of our progressive fariues last season bred to him. A number of Startle Hoy's colts coming two years old will be trained this year, and are expected toderelop into fast performers at an early age. Startle Boy a few days ago was shipped to his new home in Shepherdstown.W. ecklylthacan THE NEWS IN BERKELEY. Items of Interest from Our Neighboring I County.

From the Statesman Mrs. Hattie Grantham and Mr. John Wikel surprised their friends last week by announcing their marriage, which they say took place last September. Mr. Wikel came here from Harrisburg, Pa.

Mr. John B. Wilson has again come into control of the electric light plant in this city by buying up the stock held by Messrs. Buxton, ShalTer and others. We may now expect to soon see our street cars again going, and last but not least we hope that the change will result in giving us better light.

We chronicle with deep'sorrow the death of Mrs D. A. Cline, which took place after a long and painful illness at her home in this city 011 last Friday. Her age was 03 mouths and 5 days. Mrs.

Cline was a native of Shepherdstown, marrieuand moved to Martinsburg in 1847, and lias since resided here. A husband, two sons and a daughter survive her aud cherish the memory of a fond and loving wife and mother. She was an estimable lady and her life was a devoted and consistent Christian one. From the Independent: The trial of Edward Murphy, who was indicted for having committed perjury before the grand jury of this county before which came up forconsideration the charge of killing the showman, James Dailey, came up before the Circuit Court on Wednesday last. This was the second trial, the jury in the former trial having failed to agree.

The case was warmly con! tested, and the arguments of counsel for State aud defendant ably made. After retiring to their room for some time the jury returned with a verdict of not guilty. Murphy was discharged from custody, as Mr. Pitzer, representing the State, allowed a nolle to be entered in the other indictment which was pending against the prisoner. A War Item of a Local Flavor.

We notice the following in the Washington Pott of recent date: Editok death of Gen. S. S. Carroll, who was -a prominent figure iu many battles of the late war, at this time calls to remembrance the statement of an Indian in Braddock's defeat that he had many fine shots at Gen. Washington and failed to hit liiui, as in the case of Gen.

Carroll the same incident can be verified by parties now living. At the battle of Fisher's Hill, above Winchester. one wing of the Confederate line of battle was steadily driven back, and the desire of the Confederates to check the Union advance caused the officers and men of the Letcher Riflemen. a crack company from Duffields, in Jefferson coantv, W. to order or shout, "Shoot that officer on back who pushing forward hie men so," anil members of the crack company, several of whom are now living near Duffields, W.

shot at him re. peatedly, but failed to hit him. The first lieutenant of the Letcher Riflemen, Thomas Link, who also commanded some Virginia troops at the execution of John Brown, was struck by a bullet in this battle and had his leg broken, so fell in the hands of Gen. Carroll's men, and after the war an effort was mads by the son of Lieut. Link, Rev.

Gibson Link, Strasburg, to trace out his father's sword, which led to the statement above made. AS. II. Knglk. There's Money In Farming, After AH.

3. Rentch to manage the office for him. Iuspector Naylor of the Postoffice Department, was here last week and settled all ac- i counts. Mr. Fayiuan, we understand, resigned on account of the condition of his health and because he did not care to take the trouble to furnish the bond required since the office was made a presidential one, knowing; that his teuure would probably be short.

Acting Postmaster Rentch will have the office open on Sunday from 12.30 to 1.30 p. m. Dead Letters. The following is a list of letters remaining in the postoffice at Shepi herdstown, W. Feb'y 10th, 1893: Sallie Bennett.

A GOOD OLD AGE. Mr. Joseph Welshant Passes His 88th MileStone in Life's Journey. Mr. Joseph Welshans, who is one of the oldest men in Jefferson oounty, celebrated his 88th birthday last Saturday, and during the day received the congratulations of many of bis friends.

Mr. is a remarkable man in many respects. Notwithstanding his great age he is vigorous and hearty and in full possession of all his faculties save onehe is deaf. He has his second eyesight, and every day reads his favorite newspaper, the Baltimore Ameritan, and other journals and books, without the use of glasses. He is erect in his carriage and walks as firmly as men half his age.

Hw often walks to the Cement Mill and back for round-trip from his home being about three miles. His health is perfect, and he shows few of the signs of old age. Mr. Welshans was a blacksmith bytrade, as was his father before him, although he has not worked at his trade for many years. He attributes much of his good health ami activity to his hard work in the shop and the temperate life he lias led.

He has never used any intoxicating liquor nor chewed tobacco, although he enjoys his pipe once in awhile. Mr. Welshans has an extraordinary memory. He can remember many I things that occurr-d during his early 1 boyhood with even greater clearness than events in his later life. He can detail occurrences of seventy-five or eighty years ago with a precision that seems marvelous, and he has a great store of interesting reminiscences.

In his youthful days he say? that most of the people here spoke German, most of the settlers here having come from the Dutch counties of Pennsylvania. lie was born and raised in Sbepherdstowu and lived here all his lifewas never away from here more than a month or two. The brick building occupied as a store by Misa Ellen Welshans was built by his father for a blacksmith shop something like a hundred years ago. Mr. Welshans built his present dwelling-house himself.

He tor? down a house ou that site which was said to have been the first building used as a tavern in Sbepherdstowu. It was kept by Henry tjheetz. He says that most of the original dweliiug-houaes in the town have been torn down, although he remembers where most of them stood. Mr. Welshans had a happy married life of fifty years.

His wife died about five years ago. The many friends of Mr. Welshaus 1 hope to see him round out a full i hundred years. If liis present health and activity are any indication, it seems likely that he may do so. Public Sales.

A Heartless Man. A case of heart lewness, wliich amounts to brutality, lias recently come to our knowledge.

A young fellow living at Ripon, and known as Wm. James, about three mouths ago married a Miss Kate Krunkleton. A few weeks ago it was developed that 1 he was suffering from a tumor, which if not removed would result in her death. Sufficient money was raised to send her to the hospital in Haiti. 1 more for the operation, which we are informed was performed, and we i further learn that the husband re turned and succeeded in railing by contribution thirty-five or forty dollars more.

Returning to Baltimore he found his wife dead, when he deserted the remains and returned home. The hospital was telegraphed to and the reply came that the young woman had died from the effects of the operation, and stating the facta above related, closing with the inquiry, "What shall we do with the remains?" Infractions were immediately wired to ship body to Ripon. where it was buried on Sunday. James was subsequently arrested on the charge of meat-stealing, and was committed to jail on Monday bv Justice Heflebower. Farmer's Advocate.

An Old Fnend Heard From. Edward Randall, the evangelist who used to go about this State some years ago painting all sorts of quotations from the Bible upon rocks and fences and walls, and who was in the peuitentiary for awhile, was in Parkeisburg recently. He tried to get the people there to take hint up aud support him, aud when they gave hiiu the cold shoulder he went to Wheeling, where he was at last accounts. time Randall painted on a big rock by the wayside these words ''What shall I do to be saved A patent medicine man came along aud painted under it "Take Radway's Ready The next trip that Randall made that way he saw what had happened, and on the same rock he added this line "And prepare to meet thy God.11 MANY WEDDINGS.

Mr. Charles (i. Eddy, who has been for several years vice-president of the Norfolk and Western Railroad, has resigned that position and accepted the second vice-presidency of the a Reading Railroad. His new office is a an important one, and it is said the salary is $20,000 a year. There are various opinions us to Mr.

Eddy's ability as a railroader, but the above transaction shows that Reading 11 thinks well of him. i The trunk line railroad oflicials.have agreed upon passenger rates to the Chicago World's Fair. One way and round-trip tickets for slow trains will be sold at a discount of 20 per cent on existing fare. On trains that travel between New York and Chi- cago in less than thirty-live hours there will be no reduction in the reg- ular fare. Tiokets will be sold on one road going out good to return by a different route.

The railroad companies have finally refused to issue half-fare rates for I inauguration day at Washington on the 4th of March. They will sell tickets at two cents a mile each way from near by points, while the rates from poiuts west of the Ohio river will be about one-half. This action will have a tendency to curtail the attendance at the inaugural cere- monies. Personals. Messrs.
