-STAUNTON SPECTATOR AND GENERAL WEDNESDAY, JULY 1, 1885. Local Department. ST. FRANCIS SCHOOL. Spectator.
The last of the many Staunton schools to close its session, is the St. Francis Parochial school under superintendence of the Sisters of Charity. This Institution has gradually grown in numbers, and in the attainments of scholarship. At the conclusion of the exercises, Fathers O'Ferrall, of Fredericksburg, formerly assistant at St. Francis, and Lynch, of Lexington, delivered addresses, The occasion was extremely pleasant to the company present and gratifying to the Sisters who have so sedulously labored to advance the pupils and build up the school.

Matthew's Church, in New Market, on Friday. Mr. Stover was a native of Augusta county, and in his youthful days, being connected with stage lines running from Winchester to Staunton, he was extensively known. His friends will be pained to hear of his departure. He leaves a widow and three children, as well as several grandchildren, together with many relatives, to lament their sad bereavement.

REPUBLICAN county has a file of the immediate predecessor will give or loan it to confer a favor upon us under According to announcement made in the last SPECTATOR, the 11th annual Pic-nic of the Catholic Hibernian Beneficial Society came off at Fort Defiance Station, on the Valley Railroad, Thursday, 25th ultimo, President John Burns, master of ceremonies, who has a very happy manner in conducting such pleasant accasions so as to draw out all the life cheerfulness and good results which attach to them. The railroad accommodations were in all respects made to suit the proper time for the leaving and returning of the societies of this city and Harrisonburg.
There were In attendance about 200 persons from Staunton, 45 from Harrisonburg, and 60 from the neighborhood. The ladies of St. Francis Church in this city bad a full number of tables amply supplied with refreshments. The patronage was liberal, and from it the church receives a fund which materially aids in meeting its expenses. On such occasions, it is customary to have a prize cake, which, in its make-up, is not a sponge or other of the feasting kind, but at the same time amusing in the style and in the contents when developed.
It was awarded to Miss Katie Knightley, who received it 'with evident misgivings. They were not serious, however, for Mr. Jacob Yost, who presented it in one of his handsomest extemporaneous efforts, assured her that whilst not vouching for the contents, they were, he knew, harmless.Some of the spectators on beholding the like of which they never saw before thought it was the production of a magician. Dancing, base-ball, and roller-skating, with the music by Professor Kountz and his band, entertained those who desired to spend a portion of the time in that way. Fathers McVery and O' Donohoe, of this city, and O'Ferrall, of Fredericksburg, were present.
The hour of parting came aud all returned to their homes highly pleased with the festivities and social enjoyment of the celebration. The C. H. S. on a Pic-nic.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. The Beard of Supervisors held a session Fri- day last. The deed from Meade F. White, Commissioner, of all interest in the law -office property of the late T. J.
Michie to the County of Augusta, was presented, accepted, and ordered to be recorded. Wm. A. Burnett, A. Fulcher, and H.
B. Sieg were appointed a committee to advertise for and receive proposals for the erection of a building to accommodate the Sheriff, Treasurer, County Surveyor, and Superintendent of County Schools. It will be fire-proof and two stories high, with a cellar. There will be several offices in addition to those named. The time for handing in proposals closes on the 6th instant, as another session of the Board will be held on the 10th, when it is proposed to consider them.
The fund realized from the stock of Chesapeake Ohio Railway, standing to the credit of John N. Hendren, commissioner, was ordered to be turned over by him to the building committee. John Christian, superintendent of the Staunton and Parkersburg Turnpike Company, reported verbally that the tolls received for the year ending 1st of April, 1885, amounted to $963,56, and the expenditures for the same were $624.66. Laying the levies was postponed to the next meeting--the law requiring that it be done on this year's assessment, and four districts not being yet reported, by return of the books. W.
T. Rush, J. A. Waddell, E. A.
Fulcher, and Wm. A. Burnett were appointed a committee to coufer with a committee on the part of the City Council, and making a settlement of jail and other expenses. The next meeting of the Board will be on the 10th. Fruit Exhibition.
Fruit Exhibition. The Fruit-Growers Association of Albemarle will hold an exhibition of fruits at Charlottesville from the 15th to the 17th of September inclusive. Entries are not confined to membership, but open to all who may desire to exhibit. It is the purpose of the association to make annual exhibitions hereafter. Among many other sections named outside of Albemarle from which fruit will be exhibited is Staunton.
Augusta county could, too, if the fruit-growers in it chose to interest themselves, make a display not only worthy of their skill and taste, but of real benefit in making known abroad the value of our section as a fruit-growing belt. Augusta county and Staunton in association should have a fruit and horticultural society, and two exhibitions annually-in early Summer of flowers and first vegetables-and in Autumn of late vegetables and all the fruits, in season. The promological feature could be made a very rich one. It will be convenient for many of our fruitgrowers to attend the Charlottesville exhibition and we hope they will encourage it. The dumb Incust, a new insect to this section, is reported in large numbers in the southern counties of the Valley.
They are said to be ravaging the apple trees in that section, killing them by hundreds. In many cases whole orCi ards are destroyed, not a single tree Herald. Why is this insect called the "dumb locust?" Does it resemble the seventeen-year cicada, miscalled locust? We ask these questions for the reason that we wish to know if it be the same that is inflicting injury upon the appletrees in this city, and probably in the country also, though we have not heard of its ravages in the country. The insect that has injured the apple-trees here is a little worm that we scarcely think any one would call a "locust." Will not some person give us a particular description of this insect, and the character and amount of the damage it has inflicted upon the fruit-trees-giving the kinds of fruit-trees? THE ART AMATEUR for July contains designs for two panels (bird, fruit and flowers), a dessert plate (roses) and a plaque (geraniums), besides several for embroidery and repousse work. There is a long and interesting notice of the Paris Salon with two pages of illustrations, and a timely article on De Neuville, a distinguished French military painter whor*cently died.
Other articles of special interest are those on "Mont St. Michel," "Art Life in Rome," The Hotel Drouot," "Japanese Swords" and "Oriental Musical Instruments." Wall and ceiling decoration, amateur photography, scene painting and frame embroidery are the practical topics receiving particular attention. The illustrations in this number are especially varied and attractive. Price 35 cents. Montague Marks, Publisher, 23 Union Square, New York.
I have been afflicted with catarrh for 20 years. It had become chronic and there was a constant dropping of mucous matter from the roof of my mouth. It extended to my throat, causing hoarseness and great difficulty in speaking, indeed, for years I was not able to speak more than thirty minutes, and often this with great difflculty. I also, to a great extent, lost the sense of hearing in the left ear, and of taste. By the use of Ely's Cream Balm I have received more relief than from all other remedies besides.
All dropping of mucus ceased, and my voice and hearing are greatly W. Davidson, Attorney-atLaw, Monmouth, Warren Ill, ELECTION OF following officers have been elected for the ensuing Lodge A. F. A. No.

While a heated dispute was going on between them, Deputy Sheriff E. M. Arbogast stepped up and struck, or struck at, Wiley, but further proceedings (not the parties) were arrested by bystanders. There were no arrests, although threats were made and invitations extended to meet and settle it "on top of the mountain." ARRESTED FOR Sunday of last week, 9. W.

Arrested on the charge of murder. County Democratic Committee. In Highland county, on Tuesday of last week, the grand jury found Indictments against Andrew J.
Huffman and his wife for the murder of the boy Joseph Losh, their nephew, aged 10 years, on the 31st of May last. A bench warrant was issued 1 by Judge Warwick and Deputy Sheriff E. M. Arbogast, accompanied by Special Deputy Wm. Dickson, set out post-baste Tuesday evening in search of the alleged murderers.
They were found at their homes in bed that night, and were taken to jail in Monterey. The oncers searched the house and found a pistol and the shirt the boy wore when he was wounded. It is reported that the hole in it bears the appearance of having been shot througa, being powder-burnt. After this discovery a second post mortem examination was made of the body of the dead boy, which resulted in finding the ball, In the first examination by surgeons, no ball was fouud, and it was supposed that the fatal wound had been inflicted by a sharp slim instrument. The prisoners have been married about six months.
The husband is 23 years of age and his wife about 30, though it was reported at 26 when the license to marry was obtained. She says her husband was working the road that day and was not at home when the boy was hurt. She says that the boy persisted in saying that he had fallen upon a snag, and that the wounded was thus inflicted. The question now suggests the boy get hold of the pistol, and whilst handling it, shoot himself, probably accidentalh ly, and being afraid to acknowledge that he had the pistol, told them that he had fallen on a snag. Will not this reasonable view be the theory of the defense Fourth of July.
Next Saturday will be the 4th of July, and will be celebrated in quite a number of pleasant excursions in various parts of the State. The "Staunton Artillery" company, accompanied by the "Stonewall Brigade Band," and a large nnmber of gentlemen and ladies, will go on an excursion to the Natural Bridge, where they will witness one of the great wonders of nature. Those who have never been there, should not fail to avail themselves of this pleasant opportunity to go. The cost will be small and the enjoyment great. Round trip ticket only $2.
The excursion train will leave here at 6 in the morning and return here at 9 at night. The Good Templars will go Fort Defiance, where addresses are expected to be delivered by Rev. Rumsey Smithson and State Lecturer Holden. The railroads will sell tickets at half rates on the 3rd and 4th of July, good until the 6th.

A. H. H. Stuart in the chair, and Hon. A.
C. Gordon, Secretary.

Five delegates were specially appointed with the further provision that all the members residing in the city and county who attended, should be added and considered as of the delegation; whereupon the meeting selected the following five gentlemen named: Hon.
Alex. H. H. Stuart, Judge John Howard McCue, Major Marshall Hanger, Hon, A. C.
Gordon, and Hon. J. A. Waddell. FRESHET AT GREENVILLE AND last Friday evening, the rain poured down in volumes at and near Greenville.
It is reported that the water approached the town in a body with a front six feet high, sweeping everything in its course. The inhabitants think it was the effect of a water-spout. The water was as high as it was in the memorable freshet of 1870. Several gardens in the town were submerged and almost entirely destroyed. At the saw-mill at Mr.
Isaac Kennedy's southwest of the town, the engine was turned around by the water, and the carriage of the mile carried off one hundred yards. McKee near the town, lost a quantity of walnut and other lumber. Mr. John Kennddy, East of the town, had about fifteen acres of wheat badly washed down and sanded. Much corn was laid level with the ground, and a large number of rails were carried off.
THE NORMAL have been received from seventy- five counties, coming from over three hundred teachers who expect to attend the Normal Institute which meets here on the 15th instant. It is known, also, that there will be a number of visitors from West and Maryland. Professors Winston, Ruffner, Dr. Curry, and other prominent gentlemen connected with the educational institutions of the State will be present, and Professor F. H.
Smith, of the University, will, also, be here, if his health will admit of it. The management here find no difficulty in obtaining pleasant accommodations for all who may attend. New County Committee. the It will be seen elsewhere in this issue of the SPECTATOR, that meetings are to be held at the various voting precincts in the county on July 18th, 1885, for the purpose of electing delegates to the State Convention, which convenes in Richmond on July 29th. Would it not be well for the people then to elect a new County Committee, fresh from the people, and not let one committee remain in power indefinitely.
The people have the right to change committee whenever they desire to do so. C. How a 15-Year-Old Struck it Rich. While wandering around New Orleans, Fred- dy Scheuermann, a lad of fifteen years of Mobile, saw Louisiana State Lottery tickets in show windows. He said to himself, "I have no use for this dollar in my pocket," and asked if he could buy a ticket.
Freddy had been attracted by the ticket in the window, and would have no other, whereupon the dealer complied 1 with the request, glving him ticket No. He awaited the drawing, and he was aware that he was worth $1,200. His father collected it.Mobile Register, May 22. HIGHLAND COUNTY would seem from the report of the last assessment in Highland that, like the negro's cat fish, that county has "swunk" since the former assessment. By the former assessment, the number of acres was by the last, diminution of 16,483.
The assessed value of the lands by the former. assessment was by the last, diminution of $28,651. In no other remedial preparation have the results the most intelligent study and scientific inquiry been so steadily and progressively utilized as iu Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It leads the list as a truly scientific preparation for all blood diseases. You cannot afford to buy FURNITURE before examining the stock of BICKLE HAMRICK.
There is no use to send work to the job offces in the larger cities when It can be done as well and as cheap at the 1 SPECTATOR office. A SAD Sabbath, Mrs. Hattie, wife of B. B. Eskridge, was in her usual cheerful spirits, and the prospect of long life was as bright to her as a pleasing future could present.
This was remarked by friends who had dined with her that day. She retired about 11 o'clock that night, but shortly afterwards called her husband, complaining of suppressed and choking sensations. A physician was sent for at once, who was soon present, and also another summoned, but 1. less than 30 minutes after her suflering was discovered, death ensued. The attack was pronounced congestion of the lungs, Mrs.
Eskridge was a favorite with her acquaintances and friends. and a wide-spread grief exists for Mr. Eskridge and her relations in their sudden bereavement. Mrs. Eskridge was from Balti more.
Her body was conveyed there Monday afternoon for interment. Before the mourntul cortege departed from the residence for the railroad station, Rev. Jas. S. Gardner, pastor of the M.
E. Church South, made a few remarks appropriate to the event, and concluded with a most impressive prayer. Mrs. Wm. W.
Bradley, a sister of the deceased, and Mr. Alfred A. Eskridge, a brother of the stricken husband, accompanied him in the journey which conveys to the tomb of her family, the companion of his bosom, and the object of his most devoted affection. DEATH OF MRS. HUGH L.
Ella, wife of Hugh I. Powell, died at the residence of her mother, Mrs. Dr. F. T.
Stribling, in this city, Sabbath morning last. Mrs. Powell had declined in health some time previous to her death, This affliction comes to her family and friends with the deepest sOrrow. No one can fathom the grief which overwhelms the stricken husband and father of their little ones. Not only in this community, but abroad, where Mr.
Powell has so many acquaintances and attached friends, there will come to him expressions of sympathy and condolence in this sad hour of mourning. The funeral WaS from Trinity Episcopal church, Rev. W. Q. Hulliben, yesterday afternoon.
DEATH OF MICHAEL C. the clouds of war overshadowed the country, Michael C. Garber, son of the late Albert J. Garber, of this city, was a youth, and a soldier in the Staunton Artillery, Capt. J.
D. Imboden.Chivalrous and gentle and true, he was one with whom associations and friendships grew stronger and closer as their ties cemented hearts consecrated to duty. Rising in the line of honors won on the field of conflict, he soon reached a Lieutenancy in the battery, and beside his comrades all along the four eventful years his was an example of courage and devotion to the cause he espoused worthy of all praise. About fifteen years ago, he was induced, through a distinguished relative residing on the Pacific coast, to enter the career of business life in California. He settled in Oakland in that State, and was pursuing a mercantile career.
Last October, he realized a growing disability undermining his constitution, and from which he was informed by physicians that he would hardly recover. Returning to Virginia, and to his home, where his young, generous heart first received its impressions, the man of forty-three years realized his course was run, and here desired that it should end. He died yesterday morning at one o'clock. The Staunton Artillery, Capt. J.
T. Long, will constitute an escort, and the obsequies will be at o'clock to-day from the residence of the Mother of the deceased, in the northeastern part of the city. A Visit to the Falls. A young lady friend who was one of a very happy party visiting the Crab-Tree Falls last week, sends us an outline sketch of the trip.With some visitors at the timein the neighborhood it was made up mainly from Raphine and adjoining country, in all ladies and an equal number of gentlemen as follows: Mr, and Mrs. Blackford Harris, Mr.
and Mrs. Jack Bell, Mr. and Mrs. Sheffey Roller, of Augusta, and Wm. Handley, and Misses Mary and Bessie Handley, and Miss Brownie Mays, the latter four of Lewisburg.
Misses Mattie Bell, Vinnie Fisher, Poague Rowan, Mamie Harris, Lizzie Wade, Lula Carson and Carrie McClure, and Messrs. J. H. McClure, Wm. Harris, Lewis McClure, Dr.
R. B. Fishburne, J. B. Culton, Wm.
Hutcheson, B. Bell, J. Stover and S. F. MeClure.
At one o'clock P. Tuesday, the 23rd the party passed Midway, and thence by Vesuvius station S. V. R. the ascent of the mountain by the Tye river pike commenced.
Carriages, buggies, and a few pairs of the younger of the company in saddles, made up the train, climbing the long mountain sides to their Summit where Montabella is reached, and thence across the elevated range, they pursued their way and reached the "Crab-Tree Farm," fifteen miles from Raphine, before night-fall. That Old Virginia Host, George Hight, welcomed them as he does all who visit the great curiosity. The night was spent beneath his old, old time roof, where good, geniune, nd generous mountain hospitably is dispensed, and in the morning all were rested and refreshed and ready for the sights to be seen. It appears from the sketch sent us, that they only descended the first great fall which is about six hundred feet. They ought to have added another day to their time and thus been enabled to see the wonderful beauties of the cataracts and benches as the water continues to course its way down the mountain sides for nearly two thousand feet.
They should also have taken in the grand views from the summit of the great De Priest Mountain above the falls, from which the eye can range over much of East Virginia, the great Valley, and through the vista of Panther Gap. But as it was, the rich displays of wild nature which they beheld compensated them well 10r their trip, and all returned home delighted with it. MAJ. EDWARD McMAHON'S Wytheville Enterprise, in noticing the visit of our citizen, Maj. Ed.
McMahon, to that place, McMahon, of Staunton, is visiting his friend and partner, Maj. J. C. Green, of this place. Maj.
McM. was for a while during the war a resident of Wytheville as quartermaster of in the Breckinridge's McGavock command, with headquarters corner building. When our frends, the enemy, were making one of their raids, the Major, with an improvised "staff" of two or three mounted men, sent out a flag of truce and negotiated with the Yanks, for a surrender of the town. until the military stores were safely removed, The gallant Major and his staff then put spurs to their steeds and absquatulated. It was a first-rate piece of strategy- equal to Gen.
Joe Johnston's Quaker gun trick." THE NEW COUNTY reference to the proceedings of the Board of Supervisors on the 26th it will be observed that a new county building for the accommodation of several county offices is to be erected on the jaillot opposite the Court House, fronting on New Court House Street. This will be a great convenience to the people as well for the despatch of business by the public officers of the county. It is to be fire-proof, which guarantees absolute safety for the public records connected with the various departments which are to be quartered in it.

The subject of railroad communication between this city and the northwestern interior now under consideration in this city, recelves an encouraging response from Highland. The following from the Recorder of the 27th published at Monterey, will be read with interest. The Merchants' and Manufacturers' Association should follow the matter up.
Let us have conference between the city and the country interested. It can be soon ascertained if it be necessary to press the discussion farther. We confidently believe that it can be demonstrated that a narrow-gauge railroad is within our ability, and, if so, the sooner it is commenced and pushed west the sooner a new phase will appear-improving our trade and building up industries here and developing a rich interior which now is not one-fifth in showing of its aggregated values to what they ould be under progressive efforts. "THE RAILROAD IN EMBRYO. -The proposition made by a member of the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Association of Staunton, published in this paper last week, to take steps looking to the building of a railroad to Monterey from Staunton, if taken in hand by the business men of Staunton, presents to our mind the most plausible prospect for a railroad yet offered.
This conclusion is not imaginary nor accounted for on the wish-father-to-thethought theory, but is the result of deductions based on the practical business relations of Staunton to the section which the road would penetrate and draw custom from. And it is this trade that prompts the merchants of Staunton to action, and which they want and must keep by some means if they wish to continue a prosperous commercial city. Outside of Augusta county, this section is their principal feeder. Much of the trade of Rockbridge county was taken from them by the penetration of that section by the Shenandoah Valley road and the Richmond Alleghany, and should the trade of this section likewise be snatched from her by a railroad extending in some other direction and carried to another market, her resources would be seriously damaged. There is another reason for having confidence in the proposed scheme.
A railroad to this place would draw in trade which already has more convenient marts. Pendleton is nearer to Harrisonbuig and Bridgewater, Pocahontas finds Millboro more accessible, and so too does Bath, and even a small part of Highland. A road running to this point would reach out and gather in the larger bulk of all this. Further, there are many resources right around us unutilized for want of a market. which would swell the business done with Staunton.
We have minerals which could be developed, timber going to waste which would be worked up, fine grass which would be turned into butter, all of which would give employment to unem ployed labor, which in turn would want supplying what others need and demanding what others supply. And this exchange would be carried on principally through Staunton merchants, who are too shrewd not to see the great advantage the completion of such a project would be to them, and the great loss they would sustain if it were to be diverted in toother channels, on the great demand for the road and the keen business foresight of the men who propose it, we say the action taken has more than usual significance and promises better than the wild schemes heretofore proposed. But, some say, Staunton will not take hold, because she knows we can do better than buy our supplies from her and haul them here. Ah? But Staunton has learned a lesson by past experience. So she may have thought of Rockbridge; but whilst she lay supinely on her back indulging in this consolation, the two roads named above, with unexampled rapidity, pierced the county and secured her most valuable trade.
Then it was that the B. 0. road, which had fed the people on broken promises for years, was pushed to completion. But too late. Richmond, Lynchburg and Philadelphia bad established their trading-posts and opened up channels of traffic which could not be closed up; and they remain open to-day, Like supineness may beget like sad results.
As for Highland, we can truly say, "Barkis is willin' And we feel that we can go further and say that notwithstanding the fact that her people are indignant in consequence of taxation imposed to meet railroad bonds for which they get nothing, they will aid in the undertaking if they have a guarantee that the road will be built.

As we have now fairly entered on the "dull season," it is nothing new for complaint of its effect to come in after the usual greeting when passing around in trade circles. Like natural changes in other matters, that which for the time partially suspends animation in commercial interests, should not be regarded as a depression of them, but necessary in the order of change; and in effect will give in due season vitality and freshness for brisk fall and winter transactions.

The world is wiser now, and knows that SCROFULA can only be cured by a thorough purification of the blood. If this is neglected, the disease perpetuates its taint through generation after generation. Among its earlier symptomatic developments are Eczema, Cutaneous Eruptions, Tumors, Boils, Carbuncles, Erysipelas, Purulent Ulcers, Nervous and Physical Collapse, etc. If allowed to continue, Rheumatism, Scrofulous Catarrh, Kidney and Liver Diseases, Tubercular Consumption, and various other dangerous or fatal maladies, are produced by it.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is the only powerful and always reliable blood-purifying medicine. It is so effectual an alterative that it eradicates from the system Hereditary Scrofula, and the kindred poisons of contagious diseases and mercury. At the same time it enriches healthful and vitalizes the blood, restoring action to the vital organs and rejuvenating the entire system. This great Regenerative Medicine Is composed of the genuine Honduras Sarsaparilla, with Yellow Dock, Stillingia, the Iodides of Potassium and Iron, and other ingredients of great potency, carefully and scientifically compounded. Its formula is generally known to the medical profession, and the best physicians constantly prescribe AYEP'9 SARSAPARILLA aS an Absolute Cure For all diseases caused by the vitiation of the blood.
It is concentrated to the highest practicable degree, far beyond any other preparation for which like effects are claimed, and is therefore the cheapest, as well as the best blood purifying medicine, in the world. Ayer's Sarsaparilla, PREPARED BY Dr. J. C. Ayer Lowell, Mass.

I am pleased to be able to speak favorably of a fertilizer manufactured by Mr. Reeves Catt of this city. After a careful analysis I found it to contain about the average percentage of phosphoric acid and potash of the best high-grade fertilizers of our market and an amount of ammonia considerably higher, In this fertilizer, the price falls several dollars below its commercial value.
This is a point greatly in its favor. This commercial value must be understood to be It is a value of so much per pound placed upon each constituent: take ammonia for instance: A committee of chemists of the various State Agricultural Experiment Stations, which made these valuations, has placed a value of twenty cents per pound upon ammonia. Now let us take this fertilizer; it contains upwards of three per cent, of ammonia. This would be over sixty pounds to the ton, or a value for ammonia alone of more than twelve dollars per ton. The sum of the value of the other constituents found in the same way gives the commercial value.
This fertilizer is in an excellent condition for drilling, owing to its low percentage of moisture. FRANK W. TRAPHAGEN, Ph. D. Analysis of Blood, Bone, and Flesh Fertilizer, Manufactured by Reeves Catt, Staunton, Va.
