LITTLE LOCALS. The Things of Interest that are Happening In Our Neighborhood and Elsewhere. A number of the Norfolk Western officials, including the new vice-president, J. M. Barr, made an inspection of this end of the road on a sopoinl train last Monday.

Last year Mr. "Wm. A. Chapline beat Mr. E.

T. Licklider for recorder by eight votes. On Monday Mr. Lickli. der turned the tables on Mr.

Chapline by exactly the same majority. A number of many were left in the canal by the flood have been caught during the past week. Samuel Muck caught a carp a few days ago that weighed 25 pounds. Mr. James Lloyd has begun the erection of a dwelling-house on the Show place west of town.

He has moved into a part of Mr. Geo. B. Entlor's dwelling 011 Prospect Avenue, and Mrs. Ella Crow will move into the Lloyd house recently purchased by her son, Mr.

C. W. Crow. The fight for the Charlestown postoffice is on in good style, and it is said that the prize lies between L. D.

Getzendanner and S. V. Yantis. The fact, however, that Postmaster George IIFlagg and Fostmaster-General Gary are warm triends may cut some tigure as to when the place will be given out. Last November dogs raided Mr.

Towner Schley's sheep, killing four and wounding five. A few days ago one of the sheep that had been bitten, a fine ewe, showed every symptom of rabies. She snapped at objects near her and frothed at the mouth precisely as a mad dog would. The ewe died soon after she was attacked. The students of Shepherd College gave a very enjoyable reception to the faculty in the college hall last Friday return of a similar courtesy by the faculty to the students some time ago.

Teachers and pupils spent I a delightful evening together, and it was in every respect enjoyable. Refreshments were served at 10 o'clock, and an hour later the happy event came to an end. Mr. Robert Gibson shipped by express to Col. Robert S.

Carr, of Charlestan, on Monday, five splendid pea cock and four hens. The tail of the male bird was magnificent, being unusually large and richlv col ored. The graceful peafowls will add beauty to Col. Can's picturesque home on the heights above Charleston and at the same time furnish additional evidence that he is a sure-enough farmer. Mr.

J. S. Fleming recalled a curious coincidence this week. About twentyfive years ago Messrs. John Conner and Jacob Crow, both of whom were painters, were thrown from a scaffold while painting the Parran house, now owned and occupied by Mrs.

Margaret Miller, and they were both pretty badly hurt. The two men died within ten days of each other, Mr. Crow on the 24th of February and Mr. Conner on the 5th of March, a quarter of a century after the accident. Our friend Mr.

E. 0. McKee, who has moved to Mr. lv. D.

Shepherd's farm near Shepherdstown, was in town last week and stated that he has 31 eweB with 56 lambs 24 ewes have 48 lambs. He stated also that he had a lamb which died soon afterbirth that had a nose shaped like the proboscis of an elephant. This latter part of the story Mr. McKee will have to take upon himself. It is too sheepish for us to assume its Statesman.

The work of repairing the Chesapeake and Ohio canal is going on in earnest, and with the large force of men now at work at various points along the waterway the canal is expected to be in shape for navigation by the forepart of next month. The locks, dams, waste weirs and other valuable property escaped harm, and the most serious injury was the washing away of the banks. The cost of the improvements will amount to somewhere between $25,000 and $40000. Governor MacCorkle last week signed the bill protecting the bass in the Potomac river, passed by the late Legislature. Governor O'Ferrall, of Virginia, and Governor Lowndes, of Maryland, will be notified of this action.

Both the Maryland and Virginia Legislatures have passed similar bills, and the Governors will, after notification of the action of Governor MacCorkle, issue proclamations putting the law into effect. This law prohibits the catching of bass between the loth of April and the 1st day of June, and it is unlawful to take them with outlines at any time. Rev. C. II.

Rockey attended the inauguration at Washington last week. While walking along Pennsylvania avenue in the great crowd Thursday night he heard a slight "click" and felt a faint jerk at his watch chain. He instantly placed his hand on his at the same time feeling another tug. He discovered then that his watchchain had been neatly severed in twc places, one short piece hanging from the clasp and another being attached i to his watch, which had fortunately remained in his pocket. It was im; possible to detect the thief, but Mr Rockey did not grieve over that as his watch was safe.

Domestic Infelicity at Bakerton. Elizabeth Poindexter, of iJakerton, was lodged in jail here Monday evening on a commitment by Justice Eichelberger, charged with shooting Elisha King. It seems that Poindexter had chastised his spouse with a club for being too gay, and the licked party traced the information, which was the basis of her drubbing, to King's wife, upon whose house she made war and ventilated it by knocking out some of the window glass. When King came home he interviewed the promoter of such unhealthy draughts through his domicile, when the Poindexter woman got a gun, threatening to ventilate the lord of the domicile, who retreated in expedition to the interior of his castle. Unfortunately for him, however, he got too near the window through which Elizabeth sent a load of shot, knocking out one of King's eyes, filling his face and head full of shot and glass and otherwise damaging his physiognomy.

Lynn Magruder's sale, oil Monday, was very largely attended and everything brought good prices. It amounted to $2,056.15. It pays to have yuur advertising done at the Independent office. The above is a pretty fair sample of the sort of stuff that fills the columns of our neighbor from week to week. The truth is that Mr.

Magruder advertised his sale in the Martinsburg Statesman, the Charlestown Sjnrit, the Register, and perhaps other newspapers. This and the fact that it was generally known that his stock was better than the average drew a crowd of excellent bidders and he made a fine sale.
