to Harrison, residing near N'ewtown, had bad luck with his wheat. The rainy weather imaged a porLon of the stacks, and UaMShlng the good and injured parts separately, he stored both in the cheese factorv house on his farm, the damaged wheat being placed in a room above the souud wheat.

Her father hating purchased thirty-two mackerel, about a week's full ration for his family, entrusted them to his daugh? ter and instructed her to have tome nicely prepared for breakfast, as the Sheriff of the county would bo with them. Judge of his surprise when he went to the table the next morning and found the thirty-two mackerel, all nice? ly buttered tad arranged in the most tempting manner before the Sheriff's plate. Ntt wishing to expose her esti? mate of the Sheriff's qualities as a good eater, she excuses herself by saying that she overslept herself and that seme eth? er person prepared the fish. Attempt at attempt to fire a dwelling house, on the corner of Court and Church street belonging to Dr. J.

S. Irwin, was made, it is sup? posed on last Sunday. A quantity of straw was placed In the closet and ignited. The sides of the closet were burned and a hole was burned through the floor. The house was tot occupied as a dwelling at the time and Dr.

Irwin hud a quantity of wheat stored in it. A negro boy was arrested on suspicion last Tuesday, but there being no posi? tive evidence against him, was not prosecuted. State School the best information we can get, it is proba? ble that wo will receive no more of last year's state school funds. We think it is due the teachers to know what they ean expect. The diversion of this fund is so great that the trustees will not be able to pay the teachers for last year.

The endebtedness we are informed about This amount must be paid before the teachers who will teach during the ensuing year, will receive anything. Unless some arrangement be made to prevent the diversion of funds belonging It? the schools, it will be impossible to employ teachers thus Fall. Woodstock Graded Arrangements have been made to open the (haded school on Monday, Sert. Ulli. Nearly all the patrons of the school have agreed to pay a small tuition fee, thus enabling the trustees to continue the school, notwithstanding tho loss of the S'Ate school fuud.

The tuition rates proposed are so moderate that every one can afford to pay them. Prompt payment at the beginaing of the session is very important. The Clerk of the Board will bo provided with permits which will issued upon ap licatiou. The Board have determined employ five teachers instead of four as heretofore, thus enabling the teachers to give all necessary attention to tho pupils. The New James Vick the celebrated Florist and Hor? ticulturist, of Rochester, New York, liassent for a specimen of the new variety of tomatoes which were first grown in this place this year.

This tomato is superior to the tiophy in size, solidity and bearing qualities. In fact it has no equal among the new varieties of tomatoes. Mr. Jackson has named this new variety "The Shenandoah." Its qualities will be thoroughly tested by Mr. Vick, and if found to perpetuate the qualities evidenced this year, the sale of Bee? will be made exclusively by him.

is certainly a move in the right direction to call attention to the filthy and consequently very un? healthy condition of yards in our midst. An efficient health-officer should by all means, be speedily appointed, who will not only inspect said yards, but will promptly and rigidly enforce the use of proper remedies for the same. The writer knows from daily observation that such very filthy yards are to be found that are a disgrace to any enlight? ened community. It may be owing to our natural stupidity that we fail to un? derstand the benefit of taking such par? ticular paius to have everything so scrupulously neat and pleasantly ar? ranged for casual visitors to see and en? joy, while inmates are constantly oblig? ed to endure the sight and smell of every kind of offensive matter.

Th horses had been standing in the opei field, in a group, trees or shelter be ing near, when they were killed. The, were found dead upon the ground, clos together.

II. II. Stuart, Rector ol the University of Virginia, deposited in the Augusta National Bank of this city, a check drawn by W. W. Corcoran, ol Washington, for $50,000, as a donation to endow a new chair of natural history lu that institution.

The chairs of moral philosophy and history and literature have already been richly endowed by him. The new chair, in connection wilh the Brooks Museum, will add greatly to the efficiency of the University and ex? tend its sphere of usefulness by opening up the treasures of knowledge in the field of natural history. Mr. Corcoran deserves the lasting gratitude of all Vir? ginians for the splendid gifts to the University, with which his name is in? separably Yalhy Virginian. Saturday afternoon a dark cloud that developed a tornado swept down the river from the Warren line.

Trees were uprooted aud fence rails were tossed about like chad' by the At the farm of Mr. John M. Gibson, our county clerk, it tore into pieces his stable-yard shedding and cap? sized hi? corn-heuso. Two of Mr. Gib? son's eons and three men had taken refuge from the tornado in the corn house, and although their situation was a perilous one when the corn-house over? turned, they ull escaped injury.

Tho tornado was accompanied with hail, which cut tho growing corn along its path into ribbons, and beat a great deal of it to the Clark Courier. If people who suffer from the dull stupidity that meets us everywhere pa spring, and too often in all season? ol the year, kuew how quick it couhl be cured by taking Ayer'a le purge tho bile from their systems, we should have better ncighbore as weil as clearer beads to deal with, Our quondam townsman Doctor William II. Tripleta has written a book, which he sententiously calls "Life." We regret that we cannot commend his production. It is due to him as a former townsman to notice that such a book has been 'published. The Doctor claims to have made a wendcr ful discovery In physiology.

A dis? covery which to a considerable extent overturns Harvry's theory of Vlocd circulation. Wc are not physiologist enough to approve or combat his views. therefore abstain from criticizing them. If there he living a physiologist who will wade through the book up to his neck in words to discover what the doctor claims to hnye discovered, and if discovered, what the doctor has bid beneath this Hood of words, thcro will be no lack of criticism from a scientific standpoint, provided the book has merit as the revelation of a great discovery.Wc cannot commend the book because tho doctor has gone out of his way to devote many pages toa attack ou revealed religion. Why did it become necessary to deny the divinity of Christ, and to show that Moses was an Im? pester and the children of Israel all robbers, iu order to demonstrate that the scat of blood circulation was the belly instead of the heart If the doctor will carefully read the chiper of the Book of Job, beginning with these words "Then tho Lord answered Job out if the whirlwind and said, "Who is this that darkencth counsel by words without knowledge?" wc believe that he will be profited.
