Illslied by me a year - alutiClialf - agor
deem it proper to repeat what .1 then

than a deeper wound," because les blood

necessary more thorough washing with
soap and water. The part should be in

when ' dry should be thoroughly touched
with caustic potash by a physicidu if pos

caustic, &c., are worthless.
I have witnessed many deaths since that
article was published from the disease, in
not one of which was the caustic used. In
all cases the patieut said "the scratch was

Down—The work of tearing down the
Odd Fellows' Hall and clearing the
groUnd was finished yesterday. The con
tracting parties, the Waynesboro' Manu
facturing Company will at once commence
the erection of the new Hall.
TIIE WEATHER.—Since our last issue
the weather has been excessively warm
and dry. Corn, oats, young clover, pota
toes, etc. are suffering for want of rain.—
Without early showers the damage to the
early potatoes will be irreparable.
—The first Sabbath School in the his
tory of Tomstown was successfully organ

ed. He will have the assistance of the Y.

'A GOOD Jos.—As a specimen of first
class workinanship we refer the:public to
the new house of Dr. John M. Ripple in
this borough, the painting of which was
executed by our townsman, -James B.
Smith. As a house painter Mr. S. is per.
haps not excelled in the county. •
NJ-Waynesboro' beasts a number of
marriageble ladies, whose personal charms
the most obdurate old bachelor can scarce
ly. we imagine, resist. They usually at
tire themselves more modestly than oth
erwise, and are not given to sporting bus
tles of more than medium size. Merito
rious young men and bachelors of good
moral standing, not too far advanced in
life, can apply.
SICKLY SUMMER.-A hot unhealthy
summer is predicted by Dr. Stephen A.
Smith, of the New York Board of Health,
And it would be well to be prepared for
it, even if the prediction should prove
false. Refuse of all kinds should be clean
ed up, and whitewash should be laid on
with ;avise hand in all places needing dis
infectants. An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure.
Trt . Vl:Tr.—Some of our Maryland
and Virginia er s changes contain doleful
accounts of tip ravages of the fly in the
wheat fields. Act far as we have been a
ble to learn this region is more fortunate
in that respect. It is true, chance fields
promise a light yield per acre, but the
general prospects are good, and unless
blighted by weevil or rust au average
crop may he anticipated.
To St7ISCRIBERS.—On sod after the
Ist of July the U. S. Postal htws will re
quire postage to be paid on all newspa
pers. Heretofore the law allowed the free'
delivery of newspapers in the county
where published. The postage will be 20
cents a year, but we advise all our sub
scribers to pay for six month, ten cents,
as we believe the law will be abolished
soon after Congress meets in December.

The body of the deceased reached this
place on Saturday and on Sunday at 3 o'-
clock, P. M., the funeral took place. The
largest funeral procession perhaps ever
witnessed in our town escorted his remains
to the old Union Burying ground for in
terment, the engineer of the train to which
the deceased had been attached and oth
er interested strangers being in procession.
He was a very worthy young man and
much esteemed by all with whom he had
been associated. He was naturally of a
kind and benevolet disposition and much_
devoted_to_his-parents and-friAnds,-to the
former it is said he evinced - more than or=
dinarjfflial devotion. The stricken pa
rents- and other friends of the deceased
have the warm sympathies of the corn
in their sad affliction. He was al
ed 26 yrs., 3 months and 11 days.
YE OLDEN TIME.—We heard one of
our oldest citizens recall to mind the time
in his recollection when no town stood
where Waynesboro' now is. Thell it was
_nothing_but_wood-and-brush,—not even-a
road passing through it. The deer, cata
mount and fox were the most frequent
visitors.
, Mr. Sam. Gordon put up the first house
and shop on the corner now occupied by
Mr. Coon anduslrs. Besorc. His favor
ite expression was—"l raised the first
smoke in this town, and so I did, and so
I did." He was the first blacksmith in
Waynesboro.'
MORE TAIL RYE.-Mr. Solomon Flory
has favored us with another tall specimen
of le. The stalk measures eight feet and
nine inches. It was raised on the farm
of Rev. D. F. Good, near this place.
The Messrs. Mineharts, on the farm of
Mr. Alex. Hamilton, near this place, send
us another stalk, which for height exceeds
all specimens heretofore noticed, measure

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.—The following

Funk's Hill. It is now approaching com
pletion, and is a substantial and tasteful
building. , The desks and furniture are
to be of the improved style, all together
it will be the model schoolhouse of the
district.
It is designed to organize this school
from the children living just outside the
borough limits whn are prevented by the
separation of the district from coming to
the borough schools, and who have had
heretofore to trudge from I.i to 2 miles to
their respective schools.
IlditOVED.—lt is a pleasure to ride o
ver good roads. Every one 11. b o traveled
over the old Quincy road "as it was,"
knows that it was anything else. By the
change made last fall in a portion of the
route, and the further improvement of
cutting down Pine Hill to a more reason
able grade, the road has been greatly im
proved, and will now compare favorably,
with any of our country roads. Mr. Chas.
West, Supervisor, deserves *the thanks
of the traveling public, and from the a
bilities he has displayed as a road maker
we hope he will be continued in his posi
tion for many a day.

wash your frames over in this liquid and.
the flies will not light upon them. The
onion will not injure the frames and the
odor soon disappears. It is better• than
the unsightly gauze whch covers your
pictures.

Wholesale-Poisoning., ._DEcAru_s„-I-LL.,l,hinc-16.
Ithas just transpired that we have had
in our midst the most inSitiate female
fiend that has.eiisted inthiS section of
country, and whose deeds put to blush the
exploits of the famous Mrs. Lydia Sher
man. The modern Lucretia Borgia is
named Mrs. York, and it is knovin that
six of her nearest relatives have been mur
dered by her and it seems that she had
intended to destrcy her entire generation.
No reason can be assigned for her hellish
os
acts, save that she was seased of an in
satiable desire to poiso her relatives.—
After causing the dea h of five of her
family, she prepared a poisonous mixture
for her son, intending tosend him to that
bourne from whence no traveler ever re
turns, but by a mistake she herself swal
lowed the poison and died from its effects.
The only particulars of the fearful trage
dy available at the present time are; that
last September, Mr. A. W. Drake, a far
mer living near Moamqua, died suddenly
and under circumstances which indicated
foul play : His mother-in-law, Mrs. York,
was keeping house for him lit the time.—
A few days since Mrs. York Was taken
ill at her son's house, in Kansas, whither
she had gone soon after tie death of Mr.
Drake. A physician was called in, who
immediately detected poison, and he told
her that she could survive but a few hours.
Facing death she made a very startling,
confession. She confessed having poison
ed her husband in 1865, Mrs. A. W.
Drake, her own daughter. two children of
Mr. Drake, her own grand children, the
wife of E. R. Drake, formerly of this city
and Mr. A. W. Drake, last September.-
She'then went to her son, and a short,
time ago made a mixture of poison to ad
minister to him the first opportunity.—
Feeling sick a' day afterwards she went
for some medicine to the cupboard and
by mistake took the fatal dose !prepared
for her son, which resulted in! her own
death. Thus'passed from life by her own
hand a husband, two daughters; a son-in
law, two grandchildren and herself, while
she attempted to poison her own` son, who
had offered her a home for the remainder
of her life.
The indignation and alarm felt by the
people in the country is very great. The
neighbors to whose houses Mrs. York had
been a visitor are afraid to touch any
flour or food that it might have been in
her power to manipulate, and a number
of the mysterious deaths that have occur
red within the last few years aro also at
tributed to her. The news has spread like
wild fire, and crowds have come in from
all directions for miles around to discuss
or learn more particulars of this horrible
affair.
