Staunton Spectator from Staunton, Virginia • Page 3

Tuesday, November 5,1872. Wm Frazier, has a good cow and calf for sale. See adv. Mr. A.

M. Bowman offers for sale a fine bull calf and fine Chester White pigs. See adv. The total State and county tax of Shenandoah county, for 1872, is $43,254.66. Shenandoah county reports 1624 dogs, taxed at $842.

Wood is selling on our Streets at an average of $4 per cord, and finds ready sale at that. Our City Post Office has been re-arranged and greatly improved recently. i Mr. Frank T. Allen of Shenandoah was found dead in his bed, Oct.

23rd. They are holding anti-liquor-license-meetings in Jefferson and other lower Valley counties. The Berryville, Clarke county, bank declares a dividend of 6 per cent for first six months of its business. Mr. Samuel Lushbaugh has greatly improved the appearance of the porter's lodge at W.

L. Asylum, with a fine job of stuccoing. Black bass, in great numbers and of fine size, are plenty in the Shenandoah and its tributaries. All this from twelve fish put in a branch of the upper Potomac, some years since. George C.

O'Mohundro, li miles from Charlottesville, sold 120 acres of his farm to Montgomery Simms, of Green county, at $40. per acre, la3t week. The "Charlottesville Amateurs" are delighting the good people over there with theatrical performances. What has become of our excellent company Re-organize for the inter. Eyery Valley paper we pick up reports a light demand, with a full and fresh supply of thieves, constantly on hand, during the "wesma' hours" o' the night.

Be on your guard- When Sheridan's fine brigade was "seeing to it" that that crow "should carry his rations over the Valley," Gen'l Torbert alone reports the destruction of over $3,270,650 worth of property. The Circuit Court for Augusta county, Judge Wm. L. McLaughlin presiding, commenced its session on Friday last, the Ist inst. Up to this time nothing of general public interest has been done.

1 Richardson Bell, wholesale and retail grocers and produce dealers, on Augusta street, have a large stock of staple and family groceries which they are selling at the lowest cash rates. Call on them. The indescribable and inimitable Dr. Bacon and Greens Bagby, is making a lecturing tour through the Valley and delighting and enlightening the young and old, on the "Disease called Love." May be favor us soon. The Recorders, in West are making an official report of tbe number of churches, bridges, court-houses, jails, destroyed by the Yankees during the late war.

Our Legislature should order a similar report in this State. The whole cost ofthe land, buildings, covered way, water, steam and gas works at the Western Lunatic Asylum, since the Bth of July, 1825, has been $216,302.46, which furnishes accomodations for 350 patients and compares favorably with any in the United States. Mr. A. M.

Bowman of this county, has recently purchased of Mr. T. S. Cooper, of Coopersburg, ten thoroughbred cots wold sheep, several of which were imported from the flocks of the celebrated breedor, Mr. Robert Game, Gloucestershire, England.

R6V. Dr. Rosser of Virginia Conference, M. E. Church South, will preach in the Methodist Church in this place, on Wednesday evening, 6th instant, and commence a protracted meeting.

Services will be held in the basement until Sunday next, when they will be held in the main audienco room, as the repairs will be completed by that time. The Iron Benj. T. Jordan, one of the great Iron men of that name, formerly of Rockbridge, has, wo learn, organized a strong Company, and will soon havo a large furnace in operation near Waynesboro'. We hear of other furnaces to bo opened in the county, and Iron will, undoubtedly, be the great interest, as soon as the C.

O. R. R. brings us the cheap coal of Kanawha, as it will in 6 months. is behind the other Virginia Cities in only one we suppose it is because her young men are too busy to form one, but it is a necessity in every City and one that may be indispensable at any time to keep order.

We have splendid material for a Company or two, and it behooves our men of property to contribute liberally to their formation. Who speaks first H. H. Robertson and lady passed West to their home in Covington last Wednesday evening. We understand the Col.

has it in contemplation to remove to Staunton this winter. Capt. C. G. Merritt is adding a handsome addition to his residence near Greenville and other improvements are reported in that portion of the county.

The Prince William, Washington and Russell counties report the profitable working of the Dairy by enterprising farmers, and their butter, cheese and milk meet ready sale. Augusta, whoso female schools and two public Institutions alone could support large manufactures of cheese and butter, boasts of none. We have a number of practical men in our mind's eye, who could carry out such an enterprise successfully, and hope soon to reporti at least the initiation of so good a work in the largest and wealthiest county in the State. Deer members of the Albemarle "Armistead" Hunting Party passed through here on Sunday of last week to their hunting grounds in the Northwestern part of this county. Three of our citizens united with the party in this hunt, viz: Hans Scherer, G.

H. Hudson and W. W. Donaghe, jr. They hunted five days and returned to this place on Saturday last, having killed 19 deer, of which our one-legged citizen, G.

H. Hudson, killed one; Mr. Lepop, of Charlottesville, killed Wm. Durrett, Peyton S. Coles, Mr.

Madison, of North Garden, 3. We did not learn the names of the persons who killed the others. I We think this was doing pretty well, but the I hunters say that they ought to have killed thirty. Charity Begins at it never occur to our large land-owners and enthusiastic imigration agents that the same inducements they offer so freely to the unknown foreigner might be expended more profitably upon our own poor young men, who are daily leaving Virginia and who are at least the equals of the unknown, com 6 they from what clime they may. There i 3 food for thought in this suggestion, which we commend to the parties named, and we would also remind them that, so far, according to Commodore Maury's calculation, we have lost 20,000 of our population since the war, by their neglect of our own boys, and gained about 2,000 of the great unknown.

Try the home supply awhile and we will soon lave no need of foreign help, though, of course 11 are welcome and there is room and work for Who will be the first to offer homes and ms to 20,000 Confederates, on the same terms offered to the exiles from Alsace and Lorlfce. Our word for it, the "laborers" will be rcfly as soon as you offer tjje "harvest" your "vkte places" will be made to bloEsom as the roa and a homogenious and prosperous people risap to call you "blessed." Memorial Fair. are pleased to state that the Memorial Fair, held on Wednesday Thursaay and Friday of last week, was very well attended and the amount realized met the expectations of some.but not ofthe sanguine. The carriage-room of Mr. J.

M. Hardy, the use of which he so liberally tsadered, was beautifully decorated under the direction of the ladies of the city, upon whom too much praise cannot be bestowed for the energy, zeal and devotion they displayed in the preparation and management of the Fair. The gallant deeds of the brave boys, who gave up their lives for their country, will ever live fresh in their memories, and they consider no duty more sacred than that of testifying in every way their rememberance of them. Under their management the bare room was soon changed into a scene of loveliness and beauty, and handsome pictures adorned the walls, which were festooned with garlands of evergreen, in the preparation of which many a fair hand suffered the penalty of its devotion. Several splendid pictures of Gen.

Lee and Gen. Jackson and of the Burial of Latane were presents to. the Fair and were raffled off at good prices. The eating-tables were supplied with provisions of all kinds contributed by citizens of county and city. Fancy articles in great quantity were tastefully arranged, and received the admiration of all.

The refreshment tables were loaded with all kinds of good things, many of them donated by the liberal-hearted Confectioners of our city. There you got "ice-cream, lemonade, poundcake, jelly-cake, fruit-cake, sponge-cake, and many other things too tedious to mention." The fair ladies (we mean, of course, the ladies of the Fair) who presided over the different tables, were untiring their attention to the wants of purchasers, and yet, amidst their multitudinous duties, still found time to whisper a few words to were about to tell on you, young ladies, but we won't do it, though we saw you. To close a notice of the Fair without a word of praise for the beautiful little girls, who worked so industriously and successfully, would be like the play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out, or a plum-pudding without the sauce. Who could resist their entreaties to take a risk in the raffles or a grab in the grab-bag And many a dollar of the proceeds of the Fair may be attributed to their efforts. The ladies of the Catholic Church, under the direction of Mrs.

Kate M. Kelly, took a very active part in the Pair and contributed much to its succoss. The amount, realized from the Fair will, we hope, make up the sum necessary to enable Col. Skinner, the active and efficient President of the Association, to begin work on the Cemetery. This work has been delayed from the want of sufficient funds to carry out the plans of the Association to completion, as it has boen found to be a waste of money to commence without being able to finish.

We hope to see this pious work soon accomplished and the last resting place of the Confederate dead show how we cherish their memories and how sacred we regard the cause for which they died, Hook and Ladder are glad to learn that a number of the young men of our City, have formed themselves into a Hook and Ladder Company, and will soon be fully organized, equipped and prepared to assist the Fire Company in protecting the property of our citizens from the ravages of the flames. A Hook and Ladder Company has been a want long felt by our City, and we hope the present organization will receive the encouragement and support of our citizens. These young men have voluntarily united together and adopted a Constitution and By-Laws in accordance with the provisions of the ordinance of the City Council, providing for the equipment of a Hook and Ladder Company. The necessary equipments have been purchased by the City Council, and will soon be here. It is the duty of all good citizens to assist in sustaining this Company, and in order that they may give more than the mere support of their favor and good will, it is provided in the By-Laws of the Company that any citizen by the annual payment of three dollars may become a contributing member ofthe Company.

Those wishing to become contributing members can do so by leaving their names with either of the following gentlemen: C. S. Miller, J. T. Byers, W.

H. Weller. County Important County Court for Augusta co John N. flendren, its session on Monday, the 28lh ult, and adjourned on Saturday last, tbe 2nd inst. On Saturday, Judge Hendren rendered an able decision, in which he decided that the present Constitution of Virginia went into effect the 2Gth of January, 1870, at the time of its approval by Congress, instead cf the 6th of July, 1869, the time of its adoption by popular vote.

The effect of this decision is. that debts contracted prior to January 26th. 1870, are not included in the homestead exemptions but that all contracted since that time Constitutional provision as to Homestead operating proprio vigore. The Act cf Assembly passed in June, 1870, did not give any additional effect to the Constitutional sole function being to provide a uniform mode for executing and recording homestead doeds, On Thursday morning last, Samuel Reese, son of Dr. B.

P. Reese of this place, whilst printing some cards on the job press in the Virginian office, was so unfortunate as to get his right hand caught between the platen and the press was in motion, and had it badly hurt, but fortunately none of the bones were broken, and nono of the arteries severed. It is a dangerous place to have a hand whilst the press is in motion, and he was fortunate to escape ag well as he did. i. Serious last Wednesday evening, Wallace Murray, about 13 years of age, son of Rev.

James Murray, Pastor of Bethel Church in this county, was thrown from the horse he was riding and was seriously The services of Dr. A. M. Fauntleroy of this place were secured as soon as possible. He was unconscious when found and remained so for some time.

There is doubt whether he can recover. It was truly a sad occurrence. Nen Music. have received from Messrs. Hunter Co.

three pieces of music, published by Mr. J. Peters, 599 Broadway, New York. Judging from the titles and the character of the publisher, we feel safe in pronouncing them good pieces. The pieces bear the following titles: "Ten Little "Back to the old home" and chorus ''Thou art no longer The Delmonico bakery of Armentrout makes as nice rolls and loaves of bread as we ever saw.

They are really as a snow flake and porous as a sponge. Everything needed for wedding occasions in the form of cakes, can be furnished by these gentlemen. The pyramid and other cakes donated by them to the Memorial Fair last week were as beautiful as can be gotten anywhere. Among the premiums awarded at the State Fair we observe the following to citizens of this county Best and purest distillation of whisky, $3, James Bumgardner; best Jack, $40, and best mule colt, one year old, foaled in Virginia, $10, John Hanger best short horn two year old bull, $33, Roller Frank; second best short horn cow and and second best bull calf under one year old, $10, A. M.

Bowman. On Thursday night last, tho Clerk and Tipstaff of the Court of Appeals of Virginia, John Paris, Esq and Mr. Geo. Harlan respectively, returned to this place from Court having completed its session at that place and adjourned on the day before. Both have bad colds, from which we infer that Winchester is a good place lor colds.

The personal property of Dr. Isaac Hall, will be sold at his late residence on South i River on Wednesday, the 27th inst. See adv. i by Matthew Pilson, ana Clinton Ball, 1 STAUNTON SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER. i Though our County Fair was not as successful as was far as we have been enabled to learn, it was more successful than any other Agricultural Fair held in the State this Fall.

It i was more creditable to Augusta as a County Fair than the Fair at Richmond was to the Slate as a State Fair. We will show the public next year what Augusta County can do in the way of a i Fair. Fortunate Saturday night last, 1 it being very dark, Col. Jas. H.

Skinner stepped off the pavement and fell a distance of eight feet into the excavation being made in New Street above the Augusta Female Though the bottom was filled with large and jagged stones, he escaped, most miraculously, without receiving any injury. The wonder is that he was not seriously, if not fatally, injured. List of Patents. following patents were issued from the U. S.

That peerless beautifier of the complexion not only heightens natural charms, but renders even the plainest countenance exceedingly attractive. It recalls to the pallid cheek the rosy tinge of health, removes pimples, blotches, roughness, sallowness, and other blemishes, and imparts to the skin a most delicate fairness and softness. It smooths the furrows caused by time or care and gives face, neck and arms the plump and engaging appearance of youthful All this is accomplished by the most natural means, viz: by gently and naturally stimulating the circulation in the capillary blood besides being the most effectual aid to beauty known to modern science. PIMPLES, EBTJPTIOHS, BOUGH SKIN. The system being put under the influence of Dr.

Pierces Golden Medical Discovery for a few weeks, the skin becomes smooth, clear, soft and velvety, and being illuminated with the glow of perfect health from within, true beauty stands forth in all its glory. Nothing ever presented to the public as a beautifier of the complexion ever gave such satisfaction for this purpose as this discovery. The effects of all medicines which operate upon the system through the medium of tho blood are necessarily somewhat slow no matter how good the remedy While one to three bottles clear the skin of pimples, blotches, eruptions, yellow spots, comedones or "grubs," a dozen may possibly be required to cure some cases where the system is rotten with scrofulous or virulent blood poisons. The cure of all these diseases, however, from the common pimplo to the worst scrofula, is with the use of this most potent agent, only a matter of time. Sold by all druggists.

Good Coffee is the great desideratum with housekeepers, but very few know how to make it. Here is an old soldier's receipt which fills the bill: "Have your coffee nicely burnt to one teacupfull stir the white of an egg. Pour one gallon oi boiling water upon the coffee, stir down occasionally and let it boil five minutes. Pour in a little cold water to settle it, and serve in same pot it is boiled in, regardless of looks, and you have, by adding rich cream and sugar, a cup of coffee fit for the fairest and best lady in the land." "Paddy Whack" a poetical contributor to the Charlottesville Intelligencer, bids that place "ope its eyes" and "see its neighbor, Staunton, go ahead," while "its streets are silent, dead," and informs it that unless it stirs itself that "A little ciphering at the rule of three Will teach you what you sure will be, A dried up city, if you move not soon, Or else, in country phrase, "A used up TBZE MARKETS.
