on the bill for the enforcement of the Fourteenth amendment, Ku-Klux legislation, On Friday night last, the alarm of fire was given. It was caused by the burning out of a foul chimney in the tenement adjoining the lawoffice of Messrs. Sheffey and Bumgardner. The attention of our lady readers is invited to the advertisement of Mrs. M.

E. Fagan Sister, who have just received a large stock of Spring and Summer millinery. The Fair given in the Town Hall last week by the ladies of the Episcopal Church was well patronized. The receipts amounted to one thousand and two dollars. On the 21st of this month, our late Sheriff, Geo.

the publication of a in that journal, written by Alice Carey, entitled "My Second-hand Bracelet." Fashion gossip has it that in passing a lady on the street the hat should be raised during the present season with the left hand, the little finger and thumb to be placed under the rim. The bow for April is a little to the left side, and not so low as formerly. The School Trustees of Augusta adopted the ollowing books for use in the Public Schools of the county: McGuffey's Readers and Spellers Guyot's Geographies; Venable's Arithmetics, and Harvey's Grammar. Hosy to Plant four or five seed in a place, all together, not one by itself, a few inches apart, as is usually done. By planting the seed as above, they force themselves tetter out of the ground but the main reason for this plan, is they resist the depredations of the bugs better.

Spring the fourth Thursday in May elections will be held throughout this State for township officers, viz: supervisors, assessors, township clerks, collectors, commissioners of roads, overseers of the poor, justices ot the and for each township the Commonwealth. At a meeting of the School Trustees of the county, held at the Court-House on yesterday, the 24th inst, it was decided to submit to tbe yote of the people of the county, on the 4th Thursday in May, the question of raising by taxation 64 tenths of a mill on every dollar of taxable property for the support of Public Schools. Effinger J. P. Effinger has had the Hotel building he purchased in Harrisonburg of Captain Hill, deed, partially "reconstructed" or remodeled.

The change is a decided improvement. He has not only improved the building, but he has improved the hotel. The "Effinger House," as it is now called, is kept in good style, and guests are rendered comfortable. It seems to bo doing a good business. The Valley Mining and Manufacturing Company was organized in Harrisonburg on Monday evening last.

The following gentlemen compose the otScers of the Company, to whom the requisite charter was granted by Judge Turner last week Joseph D. Price, President; W. S. Lurty, Treasurer; Wm. H.

Rome (Ga.) Courier of the 15th instant, contains the following notice of this gentleman, who recently removed from Staunton, to Rome, "This elegant gentleman, recently from Staunton, has settled in Rome for the purpose of practicing medicine. He his had some 23 years successful practice in Virginia, comes highly recommended and we bespeak for him a cordial reception in this community. For the until his family office will be at the Choice Hotel." What Good Roads roads benefit every one residing along their course. Good roads save horse flesh they facilitate the transportation of produce to market; they save your lercper they increase the value of your land ihey lend attractiveness to the eye of a stranger; they increase the tariff and business of a town by giving it vitality in all the various arteries of trade. Show us a town which receives a large country trade by means of the fine roads leading to it, and we will show a place that is lively and progressive and thrifty, with money circulating plenty, and men in all branches of industry busy as beavers.

These facts are patent, and worthy of the serious thought of overseers of roads. Killing Grubs. Occasionally, sections of sodded ground become so infested with grubs as to render them worthless for the production of hay. These pests work at the base of the sod, eating off the roots so entirely as to enable one to uncover large sections of ground by simply pulling the grass with the hand. Plowing land which is in such a condition! for the purpose of immediate cropping, is not a very promising labor, unless measures are taken at the time of seeding for starving out the worms.

A liberal application of salt sown broadcast, at the rate of about a half bushel to the acre, just after plowing, has been known to do the business for the grubs, while benefi ting the soil at the same time. If the sowing is accompanied oy rain, or immediately followed by it, the effect will be-all the more decisive. Fashion Notes for the clip the fallowing from our exchanges Several strands of seed pearls are considered very stylish for a necklace. Necklaces are etill the rage. The newest style is called the "dog collar it is very broad and composed of heavy gold links.

Bonnets trimmed in two colors, with a single bright contrasting tint in flowers or feathers, are especially the combination of the season's novelties. The hair is worn lower than ever in the back, braided in wide strands and looped on the top of the head, while it is held by a bow and ends of ribbon. Hoops, if worn at all, are very small, with an extensive bustle attachment. Many dispense entirely with the wire cage, and wear the pannier bustle of hair cloth or wire. Black and white lace combined, and ornamented with bright flowers, make a lovely bonnet to be worn en suite with a costume of black (gross grain, or of cashmere, trimmed with black and white lace.

Overskirts, we are told, will now have but a short reign, although they are pretty and universally liked. Instead of the overskirt, the ehirt is io be ruffled to the waist, and worn with a stylish basque. Hair striped silks, in various shades and colors, make up very stylish. Most of them are trimmed with feathered ruchings of the material, or with ruchings of plain silk matching the dark stripe of the costume. White chip bonnets and hats have been introduced in great numbers this season, and will be preferred to other straws.

They are handsome, trimmed with any color. Black velvet and lace will be extensively used on these which can be worn with any suit. On yesterday morning there was a frost not sufficient, we hopo, to do much damage. There were quite a number of persons in town No business of general public interest was transacted in Court. Some licenses for the sale of spirits were granted to persons in different portions of the county.

1 o'clock on Saturday morning last near Pry Creek, in the vicinity of the White Sulphur Springs, in Greenbrier county, W. the residence, store-house and stock of goods, of Pr. Thos. Wills were burned. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is supposed to have been caused by the explosion of a kerosene lamp.

There was no insurance on the store-house and stock of goods were insured. Candidates. election for members of the General Assembly will not take place till next November. Those who are suggesting the names of persons for that position, seem to be laboring under the mistaken impression that that election will occur in May next. The claims of those laboring under political disabilities should not be pressed at this This should be looked to in selecting proper persons to become candidates.

We invite attention to the advertisement of Messrs. Wm. J. C. Pulany of "Virginia books by Virginia Teachers." The "New School" History of the United States, 510 pages, illustrated with eight colored maps, Grammar School History of the United States, 250 pages, illustrated with eight colored maps.

The publishers of these books are estimable gentlemen, and we hope their enterprise will be rewarded with success. the afternoon of last Sabbath, near the residence of Mr. Wm. J. Shumate in the suburbs of Staunton, twenty-nine colored persons were baptized in the of whom were females.

Quite a large number of persons were present a thousand. The remarks of the officiating minister were pertinent and appropriate to the occasion, and were well delivered. The minister was a colored pastor of the church of colored Baptists of this place. Newspaper Capt. John A.

Mc- Caull has become the Editor and Proprietor of the Roanoke Times purchased that journal from Mr. Samuel H. Nowlin, the late Proprietor. He was, in the late Legislature, the delegate from Roanoke county. We welcome him to the fraternity, and hope that his success will exceed his most sanguine expectations.

Mr. Edward S. Gregory has withdrawn from the Bedford Sentinel to become one of the staff of the Richmond Enquirer. Col. Wm.

S. Gilman, we understand, has withdrawn from the Whig to become in like manner one of the staff of the Enquirer. Prisoner Becomes a Geo. W. Smiley, who killed J.

M. Black in this place, in November last, was, on Tuesday last, bailed in the sum of $1,000 sureties being Wm. Landis and Geo. H. Smiley.

He has become a lunatic. When released from prison, his friends took him to his home in Rockingham county in the hope that his mind would become restored; but finding that be was getting worse instead of bet ter, they brought him back after a few days for the purpose of sending him to the Lunatic Asylum. As he has not as yet been received as a patient by that Institution, he is again in jail. Kara Avis. rare bird may be found in a Drug Store in Harrisonburg.

He is the first person who applied Iceland Spar, mined in quan. tities near Harrisonburg, in generating carbonic acid gas for the manufacture of Soda It was a perfect success, as the Soda Water is purer, better and much cheaper than that generated in the usual way from bi-carbonate of so da. The soda furnished at his fountain, generated by tbe Iceland Spar, is of the best quality. We never knew the best kind of syrup to call for, before we called at Avis' Drug Store in company with "Jonathan Sikes" and the venerable Editor of the Register. 'Sikes" "knows what is what," and if you want to drink Soda Water with a syrup which has a "body to it," go to Avis's and ask for "Sike's" syrup which in consequence of its disguise, for the want of a better name, we will call the "Ku-Klux Syrup." Ask Avis to give you "Sike's" alias the "Ku- Klux Syrup," and you will learn the trick played by "Sikes" upon the tee-total abstinent Senior of the Register, who, if he knew it, would not drink anything stronger than ordinary Soda Watep vith strawberry or lemon syrup, for the richest jewel which ever blazed in the crown of enthroned us a member of a "tasting committee" at an Agricultural Fair.

Tbe New York Herald expresses the following prediction as to the next nominee for the Republicans General Grant is head and shoulders above every other republican aspirant for tbe Presidency, and the leaders of tbe party have to acknowledge that. cannot be set No other man can be taken to carry the party through. It adds: If the democrats would succeed they must harmonize, drop worn out aud obnoxious issues, both South and North, and inaugurate a new comprehensive and progressive policy. On Tuesday last in the House of Representatives, in the debate on the revenue reform, Mr. Uox, of New York, accused Mr.

Sherman with humbugging, and exclaimed, "Oh, you whited sepulchre," but the Speaker shut him off with the gavel. Mr. Cox afterwards withdrew his the "sepulchre" and the "whited" also, as he said, because it was not "whited," it was a "colored sepulchre." The trial of Mrs. Laura D. Fair, the widow of three husbands, at San Francisco, for the murder of her married paramour, A.

P. Crittenden, because he had forsaken her, is drawing to a close. Her plea is insanity, superinduced by blighted love, and the trial, as conducted, is generally looked upon as a farce. The Ku-Klux Committee. of the twenty-one membprs ot the joint committee to inquire into the Ku-Klux outrages eight are democrats, there being six Representatives and two Senators.

There wiil accordingly be two democrats on each of the four sub-committees into which the joint committee will be divided. The President has issued his proclamation calling the Senate together in extra session on the 10th day of May next, in order, it is understood, to take action upon the proceedings of the Joint High Commission, a report of which will probably be ready for submission by that time.

We are pleased to see him looking well. General Thomas Kwing, declines to accept the democratic nomination for Lieutenant- Governor of Ohio.

Adam W. Berry to Miss Eliza A. Fackler. Heaths. On Sunday night the lGth Mrs.

Maggie Lambert, aged about 25 years, wife of John M. Lambert and daughter of Alex. Gardner, of Mint Spring. Near Burkes Mill, on the 4th after a lingering illness which was borne with great patience and christian resignation. Mrs Sarah Sherman, wife of George Sherman, aged 60 years, 0 months, and 6 days.

She had been a member of the Reformed Church for many ypars. and always sustained the character of a faithful christian woman. Died at the residence of Mr. John A. Shields, April 10th, 1871, Miss Betsy Kennedy, aged over 80 years.

Her every day life in health was consistent with the profession she made in youth. For the last two years she had been almost entirely helpless from which affliction she bore with Christian resignation; then she drew from the store-house of memory, the many hymns and texts of Scripture, with which she had so abundantly stored her mind, and she only waited for the summons "to come up higher" "Where the wise shall shine forever As the stars that gem the sky, As the firmament in brightness Is dazzling to the human eye." Ephraim Geeding Shuey, son of Rev. Geo. A. and Martha Shuey.

died at the residence of bis father in Augusta county, not but an illness of nine days, aged 14 years, 9 months and 13 days. Ephie was a youth of more than ordinary mental powers. He exhibited at a very early age a fondness for books which disposition continually increased. We rarely come in contact with a youth of his years so manly in his deportment, so developed in understanding, so constant in reading and study, and, naturally, so brilliant and promising. About the time he entered his 12th year he also entered the service of Christ, joined the United Brethren Church and was forming a religious character, so that nis friends, and those who knew him had every reason to expect that his maturer years would prove a blessing to the church and mankind.

But when death came it found him resigned and willing to die. His mind was clear, devotional and satisfactory to the last The last prayer he was heard to utter was: "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." J. L. G. Special Notices.

i This excellent Family medicine has been before the public over thirty years, and probably has a wider and better reputation than any other proprietary medicine of tho present day. It is sufficient evidence of its virtues as a standard medicine, to know that its sale is constantly on the increase. No curative agent has had such wide spread sale, or given such universal satisfaction. It is a purely vegetable compound, and perfectly safe, even in unskillful hands. Taken internally, it cures Dysentry, Cholera, Diarrhoea, Cramp and Pain in Stomach, Bowel Complaint, Painters' Colic, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, or Indigestion, Sudden Colds, Sore Throat, Coughs, Taken Externally, it cures Boils, Bruises, Felons, Cuts, Burns, Scalds, old Sores, and Sprains, Swellings of the Joints, Toothache, Pain in the Face, Neuralgia and Rheumatism, Chapped Hands, Frost-bitten Feet, PAIN is supposed to be the lot of us poor mortals, as inevitable as death, and liable at any time to come upon us.

Therefore it is important thatremedial agents should be at hand to be used on emergency, when we feel the excruciating agony ot pain, or the depressing influences of disease. Such a remedial t.gent exists in Perry Davis' "Pain Killer," the tame of which has extended over all the earth. Amid the eternal ices of the polar regions, or beneath the intolerable and burning suns of the tropics, its virtues are known and appreciated. And by it suffering humanity has found relief from many of its ills. The effect of the Pain Killer upon the patient, when taken internally in cases of Cough, Cold, Bowel Complaints, Cholera, Dysentery, and other af fections of the system, has been truly wonderful, and has won for it a name among medical preparations that can never be forgotten.

Its success in removing p.in, as an external remedy, in cases of Burns, Bruises, Sores and Sprains, Cuts, Stings of Insects, and other causes of suffering, has secured for it the most prominent position among the medicines of the day.

Never Nauseate a Weak Stomach. The condition of a weak stomach was never yet improved by cathartic drugs. They merely increase the irritation, which it is all important to allay. There is no preparation in existence which so quickly and certainly relieves nausea as TARRANTS' SELTZER APERIENT. Its immediate effect is to soothe and refresh the uneasy organ.

It arrests vomiting or the disposition to vomit, at once, and carries off without pain, through the intestines, the morbid emetic matter which is tho provocative of nausea. A dose of the Aperient will always effectually settle the stomach after a night's dissipation. Sold by all Druggists. apr2s-2t Bear ia Jliud. When disease has undermined the health, and the physical system has become prostrated, a stimulant that will not only strengthen, but remove the cause, should be immediately resorted to.

Mental distress is also a fruitful source of the breaking down of the constitution, and the ravages of this enemy to health are truly alarming. For all such maladies Bostetter's Stomach Bitters have been found unsurpassed. By acting directly upon the digestive organs, they remove the heavy, disagreeable feeling after eating, so often complained of by persons of a delicate temperament. As soon as digestion is restored, the patient finds his strength increasing, and his general health improved. Thousands of persons certify that it may be relied on in all cases of weakness or nervous debility attendant upon sedentary habits.

The generality of Bitters are so disagreeable to the taste that they are objectionable to a weak stomach. This is not the case with Hostetter's Bitters, which will be found mild and extremely pleasant. Balsamic plants, barks and roots contribute their restorative juices to render it soothing and strengthening. Its basis is the only pure stimulant which has ever been produced, containing no fusil oil, or any other deleterious element. The most oareful and skillful chemists have analyzed the Bitters, and pronounce them harmless.

This is scientific testimony but the testimony of the of thousands who have experienced the preventive and curative effects of the great vegetable tonic and alterative of modern times is still more conclusive. In Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia. Biliousness, Nervous Complaints, Chronic Complaints and general debility it is as nearly infallible as anything in this fallible world can be. april4-lm STANDARD PREMIUM BITTERS, which has stood the test of thirty years' trial, has lived to see "Universal Panaceas," "Cure Alls," and the like, rise, flourish, and collapse, never again to be revived. We do not mean by "Standard Remedy" some quack nostrum of sweetened water and bitter herbs, highly inflated with the certificates of men of straw, warranted good for everything, but fit for nothing.

When we use the term "Standard Remedy" we mean as applied to a certain remedy for Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Dysentery, Diarrhoea, Cramp Colic, Cholera Morbus, Headache, Loss of Appetite, and all diseases arising from a disordered condition of the stomach and bowels, and as such we recommend BAKER'S PREMIUM BITTERS, a medicine that has, by its own merit, gradually worked itself into popular favor thro'- out the entire South. BAKER'S BITTERS are compounded entirely of vegetable extracts, which are so harmoniously blended that all ages and sexes use them with benefit and without the fear of the least injury. Try them, and then speak of them as they deserve. Sold by Druggists everywhere. E.
