The main street of Shepherdstown has an unusual amount of mud upon it at the present time. We think it would be a good idea for the proper authorities to have the mud scraped up and carted away. We go to press on Wednesday evening this week, instead of on Thursday, so that all hands may have a holiday on Thanksgiving Day. The priutert have some things tabe thankful for, as well as other people.

It will bring together a large crowd of representative West Virginia farmers.

It is pretty rough for people to be obliged to wade through snow 011 about half the pavements I simply because someone is too lazy to make a pathway. Landon. T. Lovett, who pleaded guilty to an indictment for grand lar! cenv in the Circuit Court last week, 1 seems to be a monomaniac on the subject of horse stealing, having been sent to the penitentiary twice from Loudoun county, for this offence, and only released the last time within this year.

The B. O.

The ignoramus was not bothered much around here? nobody wasted a thought on him. We want to give notice to some of our exchanges that if they want the Rkgistkk continued to them they must tote fair.

We are getting tired of that sort of thing.

Mr. John H. Allstadt, one of the oldest and best known citizens of this county, died at his home near Bolivar on Saturday last, aged about 79 years.

Big Vegetables. Col. A. H. Boteler last week sent home to his wife in this place a barrel of the biggest potatoes ever seen here, we believe.

They came from I tab, having been presented to the Colonel by a gentleman from that Territory. They are of the Mammoth Pearl variety. One of them now on exhibition at the Register office weighs 5 pounds and 8 ounces. The potatoes are said to possess certain properties that sliould recommend them to many people? but which would probably be objectionable in some cases. The biggest turnip of the season, so far as we have heard, is one sent to ns the other day by our friend Mr.

John W. Hendricks. It is perfect in every nay, weighs 6 pounds and 10 Can any pf)e gret ahead of that turnip? Miss Lula Davis has also sent us a couple of very large turnips as samples of the kind they raise up in Berkeley county. Jefferson is ahead, how ever, up to this time. Bennett-Reynolds.

Andrew Hunter died on Wednesday evening of last week at his hoiiie in the suburbs of Charlestown. He was 84 years old and possessed remarkable vitality of mind and body until a few weeks before his death. Old age was the cause of his death, and such was his extraordinary tenacity to life that for four days he lay in the throes of death, gasping for breath, not able to speak or rise. Mr. Hunter was born in Berkeley county, March 22, 1804.

He was graduated at Hampden-Sidnev College, studied law and was admitted to the bar in Jefferson county in 1828. He rose rapidly in his profession and became a distinguished lawyer and learned jurist. As a public man, he represented Jefferson county in the Virginia Legislature, and served one term in the Confederate State Senate of Virginia. In these official capacities he was public-spirited, and served his county and State with honor and ability. In 1841 he was offered the nomination to Congress, but declined in favor of a warm friend of his whose ambition led him to seek that high office.

For many years Mr. unter was the recognized leader of the bar of this county, and was noted for his ability, and stern and inflexible character. Governor Wipe, of Virginia, assigned him as chief prosecutor of the notorious John Brown and his co-conspirators. Mr. Charles B.

Harding bring then lie Prosecuting Attorney of the county. In that famous trial Mr. Hunter had opposing him some of the finest legal talent of the North. He conducted the trial with great ability and made a national reputation as a lawyer. During the war Mr.

Hunter was the trusted friend and adviser of General Hubert E. Lee. It was whilst serving in the Legislature thar beautiful residence in the eastern suburbs of Charlestown was burned, it is alleged, by the order of his own cousin. Gen. David Hunter, of the United States Army.

After the war Mr. Hunter returned to Charlestown and resumed the practice of his profession, which ho successfully pursued until a few years ago. In the meantime he rebuilt and reoccupied his old home. Mr. Hunter leaves two daughters Mrs.

Kent, widow of Thomas H. Kent, and Miss Florence Hunter. His son, Andrew Hunter, died in the Confederate service, and his other son. Henry Clay Hunter, an aide lawyer, died about one year ago. The Bazar.

The Indies' Town Hall and Library Association met on Saturday evening last at the residence of Dr. John Reynolds. A large number of ladies were present. Committees were appointed to canvas the town for contributions to lie Hazar to be held at Christmas, and plans discussed as to the best way to success in this undertaking. The public are solicited to give generously to this cause, as it is for public benefit.

Among other things, the ladies wish to say that the custom of sending persons around the hall to ask for votes or chances in articles to be disposed of will not be allowed. On Saturday afternoon and evening before Christmas there will be a Doll and Apron Hazar. This will enable those who wish to purchase Christmas presents of this kind to do so. Anything our country friends may desire to contribute will be most thankfully received. Will Go to the Penitentiary.

In the Circuit Court at Charlestown last Friday Tony Drovich, the tramp who attempted to assault little Nellie Butler near Shepherdstown was eonvictetl of felony and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. Referring to the trial, the Charlestown Spirit says: One of the best witnesses we have ever heard upon the stand was tho bright and pretty little Nellie Butler, who in her guileless innocence recounted in such a clear and straightforward manner, in our Circuit Court last Friday, the details of the assault made upon her by a German tramp named Tony Drovich, near Shepherds- town, a few days ago. Had the wretch accomplished his vile purpose burning would have been too good for him. i and it is doubtful if there is a jail in the State whose walls would have I been strong enough to shield him from the punishment that an outraged and sympathetic community would have been maddened enough to inflict. Winter Has Surely Come.

Winter has gotten here. It set in on Sunday night, when the wind blew a gale that didn't let up until Tuesday. When people opened their i eyes Monday morning they saw that the grouiul was covered with snow and that the flakes were falling in a business-like way. It snowed all morning, and wound up wjth sleet and rain. The weather was extremely rough over head and disagreeable underfoot.

We don't know of any damage done by the wind in this neighborhood, but farther north it played havoc. There was great damage to shipping all along the Atlantic coast, and the summer resorts along the ocean sustained much loss from the raging sea. In the many shipwrecks that occurred a number of lives were lost. Mission in the Episcopal Church. A mission or series of services, conducted by Rev.

Last Wednesday Patrick Waters, a well-known citizen of Tucker countv, was married at St. George, and the youug couple decided to go on an unique wedding tour down through "The Land of Canaan," as the region along the Blackwater is universally known in West Virginia.

Her voung husband sprang after her.

caught his wife, and the two locked in each other's arms, were swept away. A quarter of a mile below some workmen succeeded in reaching them? after one man had almost drowned but when they were brought ashore both were apparently dead. Mrs. Waters was resuscitated, but her husband could not be restored. The young wife is almost crazy with grief.

A special from Bond's Mills. West Virginia, says: The largest land slide ever known here occurred a few davs since on the side of the Cumberland Mountain, where a scope ol land, containing not less than twenty-five or thirty acres, slipped from the side of the mountain, carrying its forest of pine, chestnut, oak and other immense trees along with it into a narrow valley below; the slip shot across the valley, completely damming it from mountain side to a parallel ridge four hundred yards distant. The small creek which ran down the valley was dammed up, and formed a small lake from ten to twenty feet deep, and perhaps a half-mile in length. The forest trees still stand on the slide, but at an angle of forty or fifty degrees. The mountain is with the rocks standing exposed in a line four hundred yards wide and half a uiile long.

Altogether it was a most pecu- liar freak of nature. B. F. Vandegrift, a former resident of this State, was killed in Columbus, Georgia, last week, in a ballon ascension. The balloon collapsed when at an immense height, and dropped Vandegrift into the river.
