any, age, or who shall kill or maim a
male buffalo for any; other purpose than

went through the Senate the day previ

form, in that while it puts the salary back
to five thousand dollars a year, it yet per
petuates the mileage abuse, and revives
the newspaper and stationery allowance
for members of Congress, and does not
make the repeal date back to the fourth
of List March. Hence the members se
cure pay up to this time at the' rate of

ADVERTISING.—As the season of nub-
lie sale announcements is again at hand
we call public attention to the Record as
an advertising medium. Its circulation
is very general in this township and
Quincy township, as well as in the adjoin
ing districts in Washington county, Md.
Only cccasionally we meet with a person
— valuable stock - ' id othT
gith tua, .ock artiA other property
to sell, who is willing to risk the sale of
such property by mere handbill announc
ment. We grant that posters are impor
tant in such cases, but not half as much
so as the advertising columns of the local
newspaper. There such advertisements
are seen and read by hundreds where doz
ens notice them in the other form. Such
bills may be posted in a store, mill or ho
tel for a month, and comparatively few
-r-ons in the nei_hborhood be called to
that particular place during all the time.
Not so, however, with the newspaper,
which makes its weekly visit to the fam
ily circle with a local or standing register
calling the reader's attention to such ad
vertisements. In this form it cannot
fail of general notice. The absence of
one person from such sales of personal
property has often proved a very consid
erable loss to the person selling. Is it
not poor economy then, to risk the absence
of many such bidders for the sake of a few
dollars which would *make the publicity
general and effective?
CITY vs. LOCAL PAPERS.—Do the city
papers say anything in regard to your own
county? Nothing. Do they contain notic
es of your schools, churches, meetings, im
provements and hundreds of other local
matters of interest, which your home pa
per publishes without pay? Not an item.
Do they ever say a word calculated to
draw attention to your• county and its
numerous thriving towns, and aid in their
progress and enterprise? Not a line.—
And yet there are men who take Such con
tracted views of this matter, that unless
they are getting as many square inches of
reading matter in their own paper as they
do in a city paper, they think they are
not getting the worth of their money.

that exceptions had been taken, respecting
the feeling toward the Grange Question,
rendering a decision in favor of the nega
tive on the question, Resolved, "That the
order of Patrons of Husbandry should be
encouraged," is no guarantee that it set
tled the Grange question in the distfict
referred to, when it will be remembered
that a Literary Society only debated it.
The idea is a gobled up one in advance of
any correct criterion that would justify
the assertion. Patrons of Husbandry is
a new order asking membership, from the
fitct that the age of societies demand or
ganization in defence of Agricultural in
terests. The.aim of the Society is to ben

SHOCKING DEATH OF CHILDREN.—On
Monday night last, near Lindsay's turn
out, in Albemarle empty, two colored
children were frozen to death and a third
so badly frozen that it is not expected to
live. It seems that the mother and fath
er of the children, had separated in a
quarrel and left the three little ones in
their cabin to themselves. A nephew of
the wife took care of the children two or
three days, but finding it more than he
could do, started them Monday evening
about dark to go to their mother, who
was living about three miles away. He
carried them in sight of the mother's
house, and starting them towards it alone,
turned back. The next morning the
three were found near where he had left
them, huddled together, two of them fro
zen dead and the third almost in a dying
condition. An inquest will investigate
the matter, and the parents will proba
bly be arrested.—Staunton, Vindicator.

STARVED HERSELF TO DEATH.--Da
vid. and Mary Shrack, brother and sister,
both unmarried who have lived in West

in. their disposition. This grew upon them
with age, and although reported to be
worth $80,000; they bad lately deprived
themselves-of the necessaries of life,limd
and were literally starving themselves to
death. They: became weak and amacia
ted and were finally. taken to the house of
Mr. Samuel Happersett, in the same
township, who we believe is a relative.—
Under the kind care:of Mr. Happersett's
family, with wholesome.food in generous
quantities, the brother is fast recovering
his wonted health, but the sister was too
far gone to recover, and was followed to
her grave on Friday,. January 2d, the
victim of her own greed. She was at the

[For the Record:
LIM
Thou art gone dear one,
And left a lonely spot ;
No more we'll greet your smiling face
Nor hear your charming voice. _
She was so good, so kind, so brave,
Me thinks she is not dead ;
But her work on earth is done—
She rests within the grave.
There's sorrow in our hearts,
Tear drops dim cur eyes,
But the sweet thought to know
Her home's beyond the skies.
Friends we need not weep,
She has only gone before;
Let not our hopes despair,
She lives to die no more.
Friends, we'll miss her love and care,
Her earthly loss deplore ;
We'll see the vacant chair—
She'll speak to us no more.
On earth she was so kind,
But Jesus thought it best
To call her home to him,
And with the Father be ever blest
Farewell, Lizzie, a long farewell,
Your friendship and your love ;
In time we'll never more see you
But soon we'll meet above.-
