The third volume of the Register, by its
present proprietor, oxpir^ with this number,
ami tlvjse indebted are now requested to be
prompt in settling the very small amount due
us from each. The amount from each is but a
trifle, (thoi gh in the aggregate it amounts to a
considerable sum,) it is expected no one will
>dol a) the immediate payment ofthe same. lJc r
?onsat a distance will find their respective bills
enclosed in this number, who will piease remit
tfu-ir respective amounts by return o^iil, for
which n receipt will be immediately Wturned.
There?!", a number of persons who owe us
for subscription fiom our commencement ? of'
those we especially request a settlcmerit as
well as those who owe us for a less period. A
large amount of money has accumulated upon
our books since we have had charge of this es
tablishment and we anxiously desire a settle
ment of every ceftt up to this date.

Prepare for Winter.
Judging from the severity of the weath
er during the past few weeks, another
autumnal season has rolled its appointed
round. Delays are dangerous, and those i
who have not made the necessary pr? pa- ;
rations for winter, had better set about ,
that important work without further pro- j
crasiination, that they and their families
may be comfortably quartered when the
storms and inclemency of winter sets in.
The season will doubtless prove a pro
tracted one, and there is no telling what I
its character may be. As was the easel
last fail, the weather wise are predicting
a mild, open winter, but such predictions,
are silly to s-ay the least of them, and cred- j
ulous must he that man indeed who pla-.
ces a jot rejiance upf.n such croaking.!
Whilst the roads are passable and wood I
easy of access families should provide j
themselves with a sufficiency. Farmeis
who have finished tl.eir fall work could
now supply the wants of such, which
they might not perhaps be able to do in
mid- winter fo? love or money. Were
certain persons to use a little mure fore
thought and encouomy in reference to
this matter, tlitgre wnald not be found in
winter so many famines without fuel,
provision, or eyen clothing sufficient to
prctect them against the cold. But there
is unfortunately too great a waste of both
time and means by that very class, a
laongst whom there should be most in
> . o
dustry and economy. Are there not
those here, to say nothing of the thou
sands elsewhere, with not perhaps at this
late stage of the season a cord of wood or
barrel of flour upon their premises, who
lay out daily 12.} or 25 cents for '-bit
ters a fip, levy, or more likely, per
week, for tobacco, cigars, &c. These
are common, but useless expenditures,
and if abstained from the year around,
.would place many a poor family beyond
the reach of want during the cold and
dearth of a winter season, ll seems al
most incredible that any man should sink
ho low in the scale of humanity, as to
thus neglect the wants of those depen
dent upon him, by a reckless course of
prodigality and love for Itum ; but such
is nevertheless true of many, as observa
tion and experience fully attest.

Music? Mmnptjin Band.
Shepherdstown has long been noted
for its Musical attainments ; and its fame
in this respect, as wqll as other accoin
pli?hments, has been justly merited. We
' venture to say that there is not another
town of its size in the Uni'ed Smies that
car. Inrnish as inuch Musical talent ? vi?- .
cat and instrumental, male and female ? us
cao our quite social little village. Tl>e
musical talent of this place is being de-l
velrped more and more every day. We
can now boast of the best Brass Band in
i
( the Union, and we aFe pleased to make
known to our readers that a few nights j
I 1
ajjo another new Band ? rather Orchestra
i
in iis bearing ? was organized under the
. o ?
manner and stvle of a "Shanghia Band."
. ?
The gentlemen comprising this excellent
, Band are of the very first order of Musi
cians, and are under the leadership ol
Professor IIesiran Yon'Switzb* Divsl,
llate of the Academy of Music of Paris,
France. We had the pleasure of bt
1 ir.g present at their organization ai^flrsi
rehearsal, and it a fiords us pleasured say
that we were highly gratified at what we
I saw and heard. They perform magnifi
cently, and ihwir selections of music are
the latest and most fashionable ? principal- 1
ly from the Grand Operas of Lucie de j
Lammermoor, Fru DiovoJo, Lucrezia Bor- !
gia, &i\, <fcc., besides a great n u m tier ol
original pieces, composed and arranged
expressly for ilie Hand. The Hand twin- J
hers seven members, with the following
instruments, viz: two Violins, Wanju,
Triangle, Tambourine, X flat Cornopean,
(j sharp double jointed Jaw-bone.
After rehearsal, the Band concluded to
try what e fleet their mu>ie would have
upon the piercing night air and commen
ced "discoursing uio*t eloquent music"!
to the infiniie p.'easuie ol the *1 limbering ;
denizens. Tue citizens ol our u> \\ u
should be proud of and encourage our mu
sical attainments, ami lend an auxiliary
hand to this new Mimical Association.
We are informed that the ^'Shanghia
Band*' will execute some of in?fiuest airs
on Saturday evening, next, on the street,
t r the edification and amusement of the
women and children. Our citizens may
expect something rich, rare and racy,,

The ceremony was performed by Father
i Byrne, a Romish priest. A correspon
dent of the Haltimore Sun says :
"Miss Cutts resembles very much in
her manners and tone her great aunt ; and
those who remember Mrs. M. in her
more youthful days say there is great per
sonal resemblance. Miss C. is now 24
years of age. She is tall, with a lull
form ? graceful in movement and amiable
in disposition. Her face is remarkably
beautiful, and her education has develop
led a well balanced and subtle intellect.
In religion s?he is a Catholic, having been

Taking it Coolly.
Scruggs, ol the W am nion Whig, while
taking the election of Buchanan very
coolly, proposes to collect his little win
nings on Maryland before starling for Salt
Ki ver. Hear him :
"Notice. ? All persons indebfed to us

My Musings.
It was thu noon c/ a melodious Sum
mer day, with its soft breezes wantoning
among the Iresh greej) leaves, and the
tleeev clouds tempering ti e clear blue of
the sky. as though it were too pure to he
unveiled to mortal eves, the gbuious sun
imparling its enliving ra\s t?? all objects
below ? 1 wandered 1 know not why ?
but reason whispers sweetly in my ear it
was from the impulse of the moment o'er
the qniet plains at the still and holy hour
of sunset, and thought that 1 was all a -
bine, save the lorest warblers, who haunt
the all surrounding air w ith tJveir delicious
melody, which is home back upon tht
zephyrs by echo who will always retain
ihe last parting word. Oh, how sweet
tiirir music, how soothing to the ear arei
their gentle strains as the last note is heard t
sn sweetly melting in melodj. I bathed I
mv hands in the limpid stream floating
away in beauty at my feet, and gently,
pressed the fragile llowers, breathing away
their sweet lives in fragrance. How beau
tiful the flowers ! it seem.? as -if they !
were designed for our special study and.
amusement. "Here the Almighty mani- j
fests himself to us, with less of that daz
zling sublimity which is almost painful to
behold in His more magnificent creation. M
I gaze upon them cl-Jthed in all their mod
est beauty, with fond admiration and mur

mur :
"My Father made them all."
?'The earth seemed like to heaven, a
pear where (?ods might dwell, and wan- j
der with delight, and love to haunt her
sacred shades."
I marked the ripple dancing, and rlream- j
ed of coral rocks beneath, and pearly j
eaves, and bounded o'er the moss-linec1
fhore and pebbled banks, and thoughts ol
the days gone bv, and the future yet to1
come, building- airy castles ; but, like Uto-;
pian dreams, they were soon dispelled.
It remindeth me of the sorrowful wail ol
4 child, who impetuous in sport, quick and
irdent in disposition, soon passes awav
md is 1 u I let! calmly asleep. Oh, can I
i>k have you ever felt a desire to lift the!
1 *
il of futurity, and there behold e?wiceal
jd filings that would startle the world with
wonder. Hut why should I, with my
eeble mind attempt to handle a subject *o
nomentous and prolific. ? Oh, vain would
>e the attempt to grasp at the overwhel
ming mysteries thut wraps the world. ?
My mind immediately becomes perplex
ed, and 1 aiu lost in wonder and astonish
ment at the consummate skill of the Di
vine Father of the Universe, who rules
the world with His all controlling inflw
enee, and makes every one bow to his
will. Perhaps it is better that we do not
know (?ur fate. Tnufy "Mutation, marks
all earthly things but let Ito one with
such an humble genius as mine, attempt
fo penetrate the thick mystery that en
velops the world. Minds lar greater have
attempted, but, alas ! have met with no
success ; it is too mighty a theme for us
to grasp, our feeble minds are overwhelm
ed in its immensity. Oh, must I stop.
Yes, 1 fancy 1 hear.asigh of releif escape
from y?ur lips as you have finished rc:ul
ing nty pen seathered thoughts ; but one
likes to indulge ? in the realms of Fancy
? however feeble their capacities. My
pen must cease its writtugs, twilight is
coming gentiy on, and clothing mother
earth in all its beauty. It is an hour
w.hen melancholy steals o'er me and takes
possession of my thoughts.
" 'Tis also an hour when contemplation fr?m
her haunts,
Moves forward aiul with radiant finger points
To you, blue concave, swelPd by breath divine
Where, one by one, the living eyes of heaven
Awake, quick kindling o'er the lace of ether
One boundless biaze."
'Tis also the time that I am pleased, but
vet am sad. 1 recall again and again to
my memory those that have gone before
to the celestial region above, while my
imagination pictures their much loved
form, and familiar faces so vividly, that
they seem to stand before me, acting the
same scenes of life o'er again which long
have passed. Nature itself is hushed,
save a gentle sound, which proceeds from
the thick-woven foliage, it is the plaintive
notes of the whippoor-will, breathing so
sweetly upon my ear. Might, and its
glorious company of starry hosts surround
me, and vet 1 am all alone.

A trial of Iloofland's German Hitters
will convince the most skeptical of their
gtert virtues. Read the following :
Julius A. Jeger paid : New Elizabeth,
Hendricks co., Iud., June 24, 1854. ? 4,1
should like you to send me a lot of your
German Hitters. I know them to be a
valuable medicine, deserving all the repu
tation ihey have acquired. " I have used
them in mv own family, and they have
proven a certain remedy for eradicating
the fever and agwe. 1 hive used them
successfully for two years."
William Norton says : Huntingdon,
Ind., Sept. 20, 1854. ? "Send me anoth
er fupplv of Bitters immediately. They
sell rapidly, and give the most unbound
ed satisfaction in every case. I do not
know ol but one instance in which I have
sold one bottle, that the person did not re
turn for more, and in that case, the one
bottle cured the person."

Divkrgixo Empires. ? The Sworils of
Physical and Moral Triumph. ? Two
classes of conquerors appear upon the
earth, anil from each class we select a
type to illustrate tl?e difference which lies
between thrir practice and achievements.
There are soldiers whose mission seems
to be lo pull down and overturn ? and
such were Alexander and Napoleon :
there are reformeis who, from the ruin ol
{decaying svsu ins, create and buildup
new structures ? and to this latter class
belong such men as Luther ?nd Ilulio
way ! Let us contrast Napoleon and
Hollowav ? two men. aiike perhaps in
the normal nature of their genius, and
each aiming at a certain universality ol
empire in the professions rtiey resptclful
ly selected. The empire of the sword
which the former created and for so many
years of fluctuating victory sustained and i
fostered was, alter all, an idle and a bloo
dy dream. It faded in the frost of his j
first reverses, and when he died, a lonely
exile on the sea girt rock, there was no
compensating benefit that he could point
to for all the carnage, misery and ruin his
personal ambition cost the world.
Professor Holloway made a wiser |
choice,. although the enemy ke grappled
with had more than mortal terrors at com- 1
maud. He levied war upon disease, and
with the sell-made weapons of his Uni
versal Remedies has fought and overcome
his enemy in every land, on every sea,
among a!l tribes and nationalities of thee
artli. It was a stubborn light and one in'
which success brought no triumphal cries
to cheer the prowess of the conqueror.
The si Ten l gratitude of a rescued sufferer,
the still small voice of an approving con -j
science, the assurance that his yearn had
been devoted lo a worthy object, and the
growing respect and admiration of all
whose good opinion deserves to be con
sidered, ? these were the only stimulants
which prompted kim to despise the ca
lumnies of interested hate, and persist in j
the dissemination of that medicinal em
pire which he has at length established a
moiig all the nations and branches of the
human family. And his is an empire
that will last, and a reward that shall not
pass away,
It would be an insult to the understan
ding of our readers ? verged as we must
suppose them to he in a matter of such
vital intereM--to enlarge upon tlig differ-'
ent stejxs of the investigation by which
Professor Mollonay succeeded in demon
strating that all maladies took then rise:
m an organic impurity of blood, lie did
discover it; and by discovering in addi
tion, one single combination of herbs ca
pable ol restoring the blood to purity, ar
rived at that Universal Uenu'dy which,
though dreamed of, and believed in. and
hoped for by the wise men of all former
ages, had never before been realized in j
the test of universal practice. (-Jreat, in- '
(J?'ed, is the leward of the learned and in- ,

Jlolloway's Ointment and Pills. ?
The sudden changes of temperature in
litis climate have a terrible effect upon
the skin, th6 muscles, and the glands, j
Hence the prevalence of salt rheum, ery
sipelas, blotches, boils, rheumatism, quin
sy, sore throat, and the many other com
plaints so frequently generated ami al
ways aggravated by this cause. Fortu
nately, in llollovvay's Ointment we have
the means ol promptly removing this class
i if diseases, and ol so thoroughly invigor
ating a'l the exterior organs and integu
ments as to prevent their recurrence. The
IMIs operating in harmony with the oint-,
ment, regulate the secretions, and dis
charge from the fluids of the body any
acrid matter calculated to produce external
inflammation or internal disease. ?
Earthquake ? Terrible Effect. ?A se
vere earthquake had taken plai.-e, which
wa? felt throughout Egypt. Two hun
dred houses were demolished in Cairo.
The city of Rhodes was in ruins. Some
damage was also done in Smyrna. For
tunately but few 1 i ves were lost. The
earthquake also did great damage in Mal
ta, Messina, Pozzale, Syracuse, Catania,
, Candia, Cerigo, (^ran Michel, and other
places in the Mediterranean. Houses,
churches and mills were reduced to ruins,
Fifty lives are known to have been lost.
Several vessels and steamers in the Med
iterranean felt the shocks severely. On
board many of the steamers the machin
ery was stopped The shocks extended
from the 11th to the 10th of October. ?
During the whole time Mount Etna was
emitting dense volumes of smoke. In
various parts of Italy, also, the shocks
were felt. At Brindisi the people put to
sea in boats. At other places the people
^ed from their house# and entemped for
many days iu the fields. Another shuck
visited N a pin on the night of October
16th causing great consternation among
the inhabitants.
i Hoops or so 11 nt >ps. ? This seems to
he the delicate w inter question among the
ladies. Shall they wear hoops or no
hoops during the tempest time ? Shall
, they throw away the graceful auxiliary*
or put on more flannel and defy old Bore
as with it* pleasant us*. ? They are unde
cided. We think, however, the hoop
I will carry the day. It has too suddenly
| won the affections of the fair leaders of
ton to be cast aside so letuorselessly, 5?nJ
' we presume ii is quite possible to make
it sufficiently ponderou.*, or to adapt its
weight to the inclemency of in* season.
