THIs beautiful Stallion ,u q

Sa THIS beautiful Stallion will
eos7zz'szssa commence his second season
at the stables of the Wayne Hotel about
the middle of March. He will be six
years old the 9th day of May. He was
raised by Col. Beverly a. Brown, Of
buckingham county. Va. He is beau
tifni bay, black legs, name and tail, and
upwards of ~ hands in height, and is said
by good judges to possess more power
than any other horse that stood in or near
Staunton last season and since that time
having got more age en- his side, his
muscles haye enlarged, and he now
shows more power shan he formerly
did, although every person who saw him
at that time appeared much pleased
with his form, as wei! as his lofty car
rage
1t is thought by persons that have al.
ready encouraged this fine young horse
that he is better calculated to suit the
raising of fine and serviceable horses
than almost any Stallion shat HIS stood
here Tor some years past. He is aot on
~ OF the finest running stoc,s in the state
of Virginia, (his great gland sire being
old Sir Archy, his dam and grand dam ?
full biooded' Janus j but he possesses that
SIZE and from witch will make him use
iul to all who Intend raising good sub
staniiai stock, as he has size enough Tor
the coach, saddle, wagon or plough, and
limbs that are as clear as whalebone.
This horse made "a good season last wear,
and has proved himself very sure. Great
care will be paid SO that no accidents
may happen TO mares. bnt no response

Mt. MERIDIAN, 18th March, 1887.
Dear Sir-Having sworn eternal hos
tility to the Staunton Spectator. deem
it proper to inform you thu, you can do
either Of the two things, discontinue my
paper immediately, or send it to me
blank IL you conclude to send it blank.
discontinue it rs soon as the year Of my
subscription is out.
You no doubt would like to know my
reasons for disseminating your paper be-
fore my year Of subscription is out.
In the first place will say that new
er liked the spirit in which your paper
was conducted, being firm add an
ilinching Democrat.
But all this was disposed to look over
until saw published some little pieces
Growing over the fraudulent election of
Col. Lewis over my best friend. Mr..
Girens. as you chose to call him. Givens
is the peoples man and was the man Of
the Legislator. had not the raw head and
bloody bonrd barn affair been brought
into question. Your respectfully,
JAMES Fl. OREBAUGH.
We give at full length, above, the
wrathy episile Of our "unflinching" De-
mocraiic friend James Fl. Orebaugh
From the period which has elapsed
since our remarks were made on the e.
lection Of Gen. Lewis, ooh Of Janua-
ry last,) we are persuaded that our
friends rage must have had prompter
or else il has taken him a wonderful
long time 10 lash himself with his own
tail, up to the sticking point. We take
this opportunity of informing Mr..
'Orebaagh that his paper will be discon-
tnued from this time aud that we have
deposited one dollar for him at the post
Office of this place, where he can get it
on application, without soiling his De-
mocratic' feet with the dust of our Office.
II he prefers. however, we will retain
the said dollar, and send him, as he pro-
poses, blank sheet weekly. which no
doubt suits his capacity best. Or. thirdly.
we will even go to tho extra trouble o!
printing the word GLORY in large
capitals just in the centre OF each page.
We like to be accommodating to firm
and unilinching Democrats" and we
know il is a principle of theirs to re-
quire "upilinching" obedience. VIVA,
Mr.. Orebaugh means by the fraudulent
election Of Col. Lewis" we are at loss
TO know-nor can we perceive against
whom he aims the charge of fraud. 1t
has become too common now a-Gays, for
dirty demagosues to charge honorable
men with dish onesty and fraud. on no
other grounds in the world, than a con-
seriousness that they themselves, in SINH
lar circumstances, would be guilty Of the
acts they attribute to others and mea-
surfing other men by their own pitifn
standard, they very naturally conclude
all the world as corrupt as themselves.
We commend Mr.. Orebaugh 10 an ole
pair of Breaches at least from the w hite
House, Tor his unflinching" democracy
should there be no vacant office suitrt
to his capacity.
