Col. Boteler suggests the theory
that the unusal quantity of rain that
has fallen in this section the preseut
summer is caused by the heavy blasting?morning,
noon and night?at the
stone crusher at Shepherdstown. In
view of the fact that a party of scientific
gentlemen from the department
of Agriculture are now experimenting
in Texas to produce rain by explosions
of dynamite, there is probably more
in the Colonel's theory than appears
at first sight.
In pursuance of their policy of reducing
expenses this mouth, the Norfolk
& Western Railroad Company
discharged about thirty hands at its

' Dennis Omnium, and James Haley
had been sent up for ten years upon
' a plea of guilty, and that Geo. Clark
had been sent up for fifteen years af.
ter havingentered a plea of notguilty.

sentence is a source of much gratification
to the officers of the inspector's
division of the Postoffice Department.
They have given the inspectors a great
deal of trouble by reason of their numerous
depredations on the postoffices
in the smaller towns. The men referred
to are members of the gang that
robbed the postoffice at Charlestown,
Berryville, Qucksburg, Waynesboro,
and other places in Virginia and West

Church Affairs.
The presence of Rev. Dr. Julius
Srammer, of Baltimore, iu ShepherdsDown
the past two weeks has been the
>ccasion of deep pleasure to the church
joers of our town. The annonnceuent
that lie would preach in the
Episcopal Church last Sunday mornng
drew a large congregation from
;he town and country, and the excelent
sermon that was delivered was
lighly appreciated and greatly enjoyed.
His text was from the first
thapter of Romans, 10th verse: "For
[ am not ashamed of the gospel of
Dhrist." The logical, forcible manner
n which Dr. Qrammer expounded his
ext, the Christian courage and maniness
that pervaded his theme, the
iractical application of the points
hat he brought out., and the eloquence
ind impressive earnestness of the
ipeaker, claimed from the first and
ield to the last the attention of his
learers. Although the sermon was full
if the evidences of deep research and
ret and of a highly cultivated mind,
tudy it was so simple and plain that a
ihild could understand it. At the
-arnest solicitation of the Y. M. C. A.
>f this place, I)r. Grammer delivered
in address to young men Sunday
ivening in the Presbyterian Church,
VII the other churches were closed,
he various ministers assisting in the
lervice. Like the other sermons of
he Doctor, it was solid, practical,
orceful. His solemn words of warnng
to the young men, the cheerv
u-oinises that he held un to those who
ived blameless lives, could not but
in press those who heard it, and the
Ifty minutes he occupied seemed
carce a half hour. Few ministers
lave made as strong an impression
>11 our people as Dr. (trammer has
na.de, and we hope thut it may not
>e the last time that his voice shall
ie heard in our pulpits.

An Interesting Event.
We acknowledge the receipt of an
invitation to attend the 22nd annual
fair at Winchester, which will be held
week after next, September btli to
11th. The Times says that the exlii
bition will be a notable one in many
respects, and worthy of patronage on
its solid merits. The lists in all de_
partmentg are rapidly filling up, and
there is no reason to douht that it
will be the best exposition of the re
sources of the famous Valley ever held
within its limits. The management
has contracted for several entirely
novel features for the entertainment
of its patrons, including a balloon ascension
ami parachute leap on three
days : Japanese (or day-light) fireworks
and a free circus entertain
uient, with an extended und attractive
programme by Itobt. Stickney, the
horseman, and Max Hugo, the clown,
known to all cirqus goers. every day
during the fair. Negotiations are
pending for a trotting and running
ox. which rivals the best horses either
under the saddle or in harness.
Athletic sports will also be a prominent
feature. The racing programme
is the most attractive, in its arrange
ment and purses, offered by any fair
of its rank in the country, and will be
sure to attract good horses. The
opening address will be delivered by
Col. Thomas Whitehead. Commissioner
of Agriculture for Yirgiuiu.
Last Saturday a lofty building on
Park Place, in New York city, used
as a printing office, restaurant, etc.,
suddenly collapsed from some unknown
cause. All the pursons who
were in it were carried down, and
persons passing along the street were
also caught. The remains took fire,
to add to the awful scene, and
many were burned to death. About
sixty bodies have been taken from
the runina, and the deaths will probably
foot up over a hundred.

Interferes with It. The bialn and stomach
sy in path lies. One ot the prominent symp;
toms of a weak state of the gastric organs is a
disturbance of the great uerve enteral, the ,
brain. Invigorate the stomach, and you re!
store equilibrium to the great centre. A j
most reliable medicine for tbe purpose Is
Hostetter's stomach Hitters, which is far .
: preferable to mluera 1 sedatives aud powerful
narcotics which, though they may for a time
exert a soporific Influence "upon the brain,
soon ceases to act, and Invariably Injure the

! contrary, restore activity to ttie operations
of that all Important organ, and their beueflCeut

a tranquil si ate of the uervous system. A
wholesome Impetus Is likewise given to the
