Staunton Spectator from Staunton, Virginia • Page 3

We have complaints again from Phillippa, Barbour county, W. that the Spectator is not received there regularly. The papers are sent off regularly from this office properly directed. The fault is elsewhere. We call the attention of Postmasters to these complaints.

By reference to advertisement it will be seen that John G. Effinger, is now in the house of Jones Hewit, commission and forwarding merchants, No. 6, 15th Street between Main and Cary. Mr. Effinger has many acquaintances in this section who know how much pleasure it affords him to do business for them.

MORE GRAPES. Mr. W. W. Peaco presented us with a basket of the finest grapes we ever ate.

The varieties were Blan, Catawba and White grapes. These grapes were raised by Mr. Peaco, and finer specimens of grape culture, we venture to say, have never been raised in this country. SABBATH SCHOOL PICNIC. On Saturday, the 15th inst, there was a Sabbath School picnic at Indian Spring, near Cochran's Mill.

The children enjoyed themselves very much and had quite a fine time generally. If we are to judge of the character of the delicacies which formed part of the feast of good things by the nice cake sent us by Mrs. L. J. Paris, wife of Mr.

Jas. R. Paris, we would infer that it was such as to please the most fastidious epicure. HARD ON AUGUSTA. On Tuesday, the 11th there were 1013 letters mailed at the Harrisonburg Post Office, 846 of which, we learn, were dtms to citizens of Augusta county, from the Internal Revenue Old Commonwealth.

The Internal Revenue Collectors have never had any cause to complain of the tax-payers of this county. They have paid promptly every demand made upon them, notwithstanding that it is a tax imposed in violation of the great principle which underlies Republican Government, to wit: That there should be no taxation without representation. HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. On Wednesday evening last, Mrs. Harlow, wife of John Harlow, receiver of grain at Haxall's Mills in Richmond, went with two lady visitors to see the machinery at the mill, and while in the upper story inspecting the working of the elevator, Mrs.

Harlow's dress became entangled in the cogs, and she was drawn in, and, in less than one-half minute, was a terribly mutilated corpse. Her body was severed in twain, her head crushed, and both arms and legs cut off. Mrs. H. was about thirty-three years of age, and leaves three children.

SMASHING "BUSINESS. On Monday evening of last week, Baker Bros, did literally quite a heavy and smashing business. They filled one of their large rooms so full of heavy articles that the floor gave way, and the goods in the falls mashed through the floor beneath, making a hotchpotch of salt, flour, fish et ccetera. There were 600 sacks of salt, 75 barrels offish, and many other things in this mass. As there has been such a fall of goods in that store, it will probably induce an increase of customers, for though they were low before, they are certainly much lower now.

These enterprising business men lost no time in lamenting their misfortune, but went to work immediately and energetically to repair it. They don't shed many tears over the pail of spilt milk. CONCERT. The Concert given in the Methodist Church, on last Thursday night, was a most delightful entertainment, and was highly appreciated by all who heard it; the weeping heavens, however, prevented the attendance of a very large audience. The programme was composed of some of the finest productions of the best authors, and they were rendered in the finest style.

The Misses Ruth and Hersman, of Richmond, displayed a high degree of musical talent and skill in their performance of solos and duets, and may be deservedly classed among the finest singers of the day. The quartettes, sung by the Misses Ruth and Hersman and Messrs. Evans and Fore, were admirably sung, and did great credit to the performers. In fact, all the participants sung well, and the Concert was a highly creditable one. It will be seen, by reference to our advertising columns, that the Concert advertised for Friday night has been postponed until to-night, (Sept.

25th.) All lovers of good music, and persons whose souls are "stirred by the concord of sweet sounds," should attend. IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH. The two excellent hotels in this place have been united. The American Hotel was conducted by Col. Chas.

T. O'Ferrall and the Virginia Hotel by Geo. L. Peyton Bro. The interest of Wm.

H. Peyton having been purchased by Geo. L. Peyton and Col. O'Ferrall, the two hotels will be conducted in future by Geo.

L. Peyton and Col. O'Ferrall, under the style of Peyton O'Ferrall. Both houses will be kept open for the accommodation of the public, though the hotel will be the Virginia Hotel, where as good fare and pleasant accommodations may be had as at the best hotels in the large cities. The proprietors assure the public that there shall be not only no deterioration, but an absolute improvement in the fare and accommodations at the Virginia They have a laudable pride in keeping a good house, and with the increase of means furnished by the union, they will be enabled to improve the style of the accommodations furnished the public.

No reasonable man desires any better fare than that furnished at the Va. Hotel at this time, and would not ask for any improvement, but merely the preservation of statu quo ante junctionem. UMBER MINE IN AUGUSTA. Two New York men, Messrs. Murray and Elston, have leased the umber mine upon the land of Mr.

Samuel C. Fauver, not far from the Porcelain Factory, in this county, agreeing to pay one dollar for each ton of umber taken from the mine. Umber is an oehreous ore of iron used as a paint of brown color. The umber heretofore used in this country has been brought from Turkey. The umber in this mine is said to be as good as that brought from The lessees will put up immediately the buildings and machinery necessary to prepare the uniher for market.

This will bring a good deal of money into that neighborhood. The bosom of this good old county is filled with valuable minerals of nearly all kinds. Development is all that is needed to exhibit treasures the value of which our people have never With the Union restored upon the basis of constitutional liberty, and the rich resources of our country properly developed, we might be the wealthiest and happiest people in the world. The first necessity is the defeat of the Radicals, whose policy, if carried into effect, would blast the hopes of our country. Roane Alby advertise that they have opened the largest stock of clothing, ever offered in this market.

Hive them a call. Tlie farm of Maj. M. E. Price, near this place, was sold on Thursday last to Col.

M. G. Harman. The farm contained 168 acres, and sold for $40 per acre. Piper Funkhouser advertise Fancy and Staple Dry Goods, and say that persons would consult their interests by giving them a call.

Give them a trial. Rev. Geo. B. Taylor of this place is at Bristol assisting Rev.

Mr. Kincannon in conducting a series of meetings held in the Baptist Church of that place. Mr. John B. Hoge has opened a new store in the room recently occupied by Darden and Brother, nearly opposite the Spectator office.

He is a deserving young man, and we hope he will have the opportunity of selling a large quantity of goods. On Thursday last, Wm. C. Gordon was committed to the jail of this county by Justice Geo. A.

Bruce, of Waynesboro, under the charge of committing violence upon the person of Rebecca Bowen, a white woman, 35 years of age, living near Waynesboro. We would invite attention to the advertisement of Stevens Pegram, Grocers and Commission merchants, 611 Broad Street, Richmond, and would recommend our readers to consign to them. They are clever gentlemen and prompt business men. On Thursday last, of the Koiner lands advertised by Hon. A.

H. H. Stuart, Commissioner, the Peck Place, Entry Place, and mountain land were sold. The Peck Place, 127 acres, was sold to Mrs. Susan Branneman at $35.25 per acre.

The Entry Place, 126 acres, was sold to Mr. Joshua Hall at $18 per acre. About 200 acres of mountain land was sold to Abram Freed at 50 cents per acre. The best land, the Brook's place, 311 acres, was not sold. LE BON TON JOURNAL DE MODES.

STARTLING NEWS. Another war has been declared, the proclamation has gone forth officially authenticated by the affix of the great seal, and not only war, but, horribilc dictu, a war of extermination. The achievement of St. George in slaying the fiery dragon, and that of Hercules in dispatching the many-headed hydra of Lerna "pale their ineffectual fires" when compared with that ofthe modern knight who has just issued his proclamation of exterminating war against that monstrum horrcndum, (vulgarly 'yclept high prices) which has been, vampire-like, sucking the heart's blood of our poverty-stricken people. He seems determined that his foes high fall thick and fast beneath the stalwart blows he will inflict pro bono publico.

To such doubting Thomases as may suspect that the vigor of the war will fall short of the high-sounding phrases of the proclamation, are recommended to satisfy themselves by repairing to the field of Corner" becoming witnesses of the contest between the valiant H. the monstrum Jwrrendum, informe, ingens, cvi lumen ademptum, before mentioned.
