' HARPER’S FERRY LETTER.
Harper’s Ferry, June 20.
Mr. Editor.—It is an old saying,
and we believe a true one, that mis
fortunes never come singly. The
same is true of lucky occurrences
and the popular superstition—if, in
deed, it be a superstition—is em
bodied in many well known prov
erbs—“A feast or a famine,” “When
it rains it pours,” &c. The mishaps
of Harper’s Ferry certainly did not
come singly, for from the night of
October 1G, 1859, when John Brown
dropped in on us so unceremoniously,
until a few weeks ago, there has not
been a moment’s “let up” in the per
secution of our apparently relentless
fate. Not to mention the war and
its ruinous effects on us, we have had
for more than a quarter of a century
to contend against fire, flood and
famine threatened if not actual, and
the thre* F’s have been almost as
fatal to us as the three R’s were to
Blaiue. But the tide has at length
turned, and although it has not yet
advanced far enough to justify us in
feeling absolutely certain that it
will waft us all the way to great
prosperity, we feel confident that bet
ter things arc in store for us, and we
have already made a great gain in
the faith which is so potent for com
munities as well as for individuals.
Simultaneously with the commence
ment of operations by Savery & Co.,
our city council began a series of
improvements in our streets. You
remember how gracefully our side
walks used to undulate and what a j
pleasing diversity of hill am1 dale |
they used to present. Many a night I
have we listened to the footfalls of
some belated wayfarer and amused 1
ourselves by speculating as to the |
precise spot the pedestrian had
reached. We could always deter
mine the location by the weight of;
the fall and the heartiness of the
profanity. All that is changed now. ;
The new spirit infused into our peo
ple has penetrated to the council
chamber, and our energetic mayor
and city fathers have gone to work
with a will to render the streets
worthy of the improved fortunes of j
the place. There is also talk of I
lighting up the town, and our young j
ladies propose to hold a festival to ’
defray the expense of lamps, posts, ;
Ac. With our Republican newspa- |
per for a cloud by day and the light'
of those lamps by night, we have no i
fears of straying from the right path.
One difficulty was feared in the mat
ter of obtaining gas, but happily wc
have a large number of politicians to
tap and the supply from them it is
thought will be inexhaustible.
But the pride of Mayor (’hambers’
reign is the new jail—a veritable
Bastile—the crowning glory of his
long life of usefulness. It is built
on a foundatiou of solid rock, and
this fact, together with its prodigi
our thickness of wall, precludes all
hope of redemption unless by the le
gitimate way of paying your fine.
Like Avcrnus, it is easy to enter,
but mighty bard to escape from.
Immediately above the low cells :s
the council chamber and Mayor
Chambers lias nobly redeemed the
pledge lie made at his election, that
lie would “sit down on criminals,”
for he almost absolutely does so when
lie takes his scat at the council.
We have lately welcomed to the
place the Rev. Harry Campbell of
the Presbyterian Church, a brother
of the Rev. W. C. Campbell who,
some years ago, was the highly re
spected pastor of that denomination
here. Although quite a young man,
he is said to display a very high
degree of learning, besides being a
line orator. The family lie belongs
to is among the best in Berkeley
county and to us who know them it
is no surprise that those scions ot
the good old stock should promise
so fairly, “for blood will tell,” the
world over.
The ladies of the M. P. denomiua
I tion here have been holding a series
of Lawn Parties for the benefit
of their church. Wc believe they
have met with deserved success, and
we are glad ot it, for some of our
best citizens are members of that
church and the pastor, the Rev. Mr.
Dyott, is a young man, who h;^s
earned golden opinions among us by
his affability and Christian deport
ment.
Wc regret that almost daily we
lose by death sora# esteemed citizen
of our town or neighborhood. The
remorseless reaper, who has every
season for his own and whose har
vest time never ends, has been espe
cially busy among us lately and his
keen sickle spares not for unripe
ness. To-day we accompanied to
the grave the remains of Mrs. Emma
J. Fossett, wife of our late postmas
ter, a lady who enjoyed the highest
esteem of this community, and who
leaves a very interesting family to
mourn an irreparable loss. She was
but littleovcr thirty years of age,and
a few weeks ago was tin* very pie
turc of robust health. M e have here
three cities of the dead, and among
ilieir silent inhabitants are counted
at least seven-tenths of those wc
knew here thirty tears ago. A\c
know of no better cure for the vani
ties of life than a stroll through one
of those cemeteries, and ice require
no more impressive homily than the
appalling muster-roll inscribed on
the almost countless head-stones.

Sore Throat
is particularly favorable to the contrac
tion of Diptheria. Heed the warning,
and use Darbys Prophylactic Fluid. It
at once allays the inflammation of the
throat, subdues the pain and gives per
manent relief. It promptly and effectu
ally destroys all contagion and diphthe
ritic germs. It .s a safeguard against
Diptheria, and should be used on the
fn st symptoms of sore throat as a gargle.

Enjoy Life.
What a truly beautiful world we
live in! Nature gives us grandeur
of mountains, glens and oceans, and
thousands of means of enjoyment.
We can desire no better when in per
fect health; but how often do the
majority of people feel like giving
it up disheartened, discouraged and
worn out with disease, when there is
no occasion for this feeling, as every
sufferer can easily obtain satisfac
tory proof, that Green s A ugust
Flower, will make them free from
disease, as when born. Dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint are the direct
causes of seventy-five per cent, of
such maladies as Biliousness, Indi
gestion, Sick Headache, Costiveness,
Nervous Prostration, Dizziness of
the Head, Palpitation of the Heart,
and other distressing symptoms.
Three doses of August Flower will
prove its wonderful effect. Sample
bottles 10 cents. Try it.
