unnreesdsntea snow-storm.

The jewellers in the plains East of the noun
tains will be surprised to learn that the people of
this upper region were RECALLED with regular
snow storm, of unusual violence even in mid Win
ter, on Monday last, the Oath inst. The snow
commenced falling about day light, and continued
through the greater part of the day. 1t accumu-
lated on level to the depth of fifteen inches
Gentlemen from the country who attended court
on Monday, gave fearful accounts of the dangers
they encountered in passing through the woods,
owing to the falling timber. The trees not being
Invested of their foliage, received weight OF
snow which many of them could not sustain.--
The destruction OF timber is immense.
The Clerk of the Weather in this place, Mr..
J. FULLER, who has kept record for the last
eleven years, informs us that since 1912 there has
bsen no fall of snow here in the month of Octo-
Der, except in lS49, when sit merely spit snow y

Husssx and Turkey.

The latest intelligence brought by the steamer
Asia. confirms the statpqnpnt that war had been
declared between Turkey and Russia. A lie patch
from London to Liverpool on the Sub, announces
The arrival of steamer from Consiantinope at
Narseilles. with the news that the Sultan decar-
ed w.r on the Goth ut. Hostiilles. however,
were not to commence for fuar weeks, to give the
Emperor of Russia time to evacuate the Prlncl-
palities, if he was disposed to do so. 1t IS not
likely that NICHOLAS will back out in this way,
although the diplomatsts at Vienna were still la
boring hard to keep the peace.
Ever since this controversy commenced, Tie
progress of affairs has indicated that the prophecy
of NApoLEAN, while at St. Helena, is about to be
fulfilled. O'MEARA reports him as saying, on
9th May, 1917, that in the courseo fla few years
Russia would have Constantinope. part of Fur
kew and all of Greece. The powers it would in
lure, and who could oppose it, were England,
France. Prussia and Austria; but Russia eousd
buy off Austria with Servia and other provinces
bcrderinc upon the Austrian dominions. The only
sincere alliance that could ever DC iolliieu pe1"
England and France, would be to prevent this
But even this alliance would not avail. Russia
and Austria could at any time effect it. "once
mistress of Constantiucple, Russia gets all the
commerce of the Mediterranean, becomes great
naval power, and God knows what may harper"
NAPOLEON foresaw all this, and wanted to estab-
lish barrier against Russia by re-establlshing
the kingdom of Poland, but the English Govern
ment would not consent.
The position Of the Emperor NICHOLAS at this
time is really sublime. 1t almost makes one
dizzy to contemplate it. Elevated upon the very
pinnacle of power, he rules with despotic sway In
his own domnons; nothing but the assassln's
dagger limits his power over the millions OF his
subjects. And not only 80, but he is able to keep
the whole of Europe in arms and in state OF per-
turbaton. Nothing, however, illustrates his all
pervading influence 50 fully as the iact that MS
word declaring for peace or war, can effect the
price of bread to the occupant of the remoiest log
e,h;, in tho wilds of America

Courts,

The October Quarterlytem of the County
Court commenced its session on Monday asst,
the 9th inst. The issue docket for civil suits is
appointed for this term.
The Circuit Court--Judge THoMPsoN-com-
mences on Tuesday the first of November next.
It is thought that the month of November Will be
taken up with the trial of Commonwealth cases
alone. The Irishman, BRoGy, having been grant
ed new trial by the Court OF Appeals, will prob
ably consume week as heretofore in his case
The important cases OF the Commonwealth against
TRsYER and WILSON for murder,a OF FIDDLER
for bigamy will also occupy much time.
If criminal cases continue to increase as they
have done for the last few years, it may become
necessary to erect separate court for their trial.
As it is, the civil docket of the Circuit Court has
scarcely been touched for ayear, and has not been
called through with prospect oftrial for several
years past, notwithstanding the extra terms which
the Court has been compelled to hold.

Rare Developments


Mr.. G.. EDWARDS LESTER, the New iork cor
respondent of the London Times, has recently
been assailed in the Government organ at WASH
inrton because Of some of his letters which were
not very complimentary to the Administrations
Mr. LESTER replies through the Herald, denying
the main charges against hirn-which we do nes
find recited in any of our eYchanges-and making
Some curious developments. He says he visited
Gen PIERCE at Concord. in the middle of Feb
ruary. to obtain from him the names of the Cabi-
net in advance Of public information lie was
kindly received and his business soon despatched,
but the General. wishing to have conab, de
tanned him several hours. He next sought an in
terview with Gen. CUSHING, at Boston, but not
finding him in, left note to which CALEB wrote
unique reply LESTER must have proposed to
do him up for the admiration of his English rea-
ders. The Attorney General took the hint, and
proceeded to offer few suggestions. Il start
ed" he says, "as you may perhaps know, from
the same point, SO far as regards education, amos
phere, and mental culture, with Mr.. EVERETT
and Mr. BANCROFT" The scene then changes
to Washington city. Gen. Cushing called on
LESTER at the hotel, and invited him to his office
that he might explaia to him the foreign policy Of
the administration. He went, OF course, and al
ter the door was duly locked, wrote for two hours
at Gen. CrsHING's dictation "what he wanted
published in the London Times" Mr. MARCY
requested to have the letter read to him. The
Cabinet no doubt thought it a capital plan to Sc
cure the Times as an organ; but, oh modification
the letter never appeared
We have always regarded LESTER as litera'
ry iop, with more pretension than merit but from
the court paid him by the Cabinet it appears thai
they estimated him differently, and perhaps We
have done him injustice.

DC The New York Courier speculates as fol-
lows on the war news -
Russia has been fighting handful of Circas-
SLAMS for twenty years and she has not conquered
them Those greatly mistake who believe she can
finish Turkey in one, two or five campaigns. For
the present at least the chances are altogether in
favor of Turkey. even if she has to fight her bat
ties alone. But she will probably be assisted by
France and England certainly by mu!lituties of
revolutionary adventures from all parts of Europe,
filled with hatred of the autocrat intenser even
than her own. The chief danger of war, in fact,
consists in the stimulus it will give to the rev.
dictionary energy which is latent in almost every
country on the Continent. 1t is known that the
revolutionary leaders are watching passing events
with the utmost interest. Louis Napoleon, if he
joins against Russia, has nothing to fear from this,
Cor nationality is the strongest feeling of French
men and always subdues every internal revolu-
tionary impulse when the natl IN is involved in
foreign war. Bat in Germany there is no such
sentiment, for the German race has no national
unity. In Italy and Hungary, which are under a
foreign yoke, there is no nationality which is not
essentially revolutionary. 1t is hardly possible
that war should be carried on between the East
ern and Northern powers of Europe, without stir
ring up vehement and fiery effervescence among
the people, and creating opportunities for most
terrible retribution upon their oppressors. Con
sdering the present state Of Europe, we cannot
wonder that such extraordinary efforts have been
made to propitiate the ambition and vanity OF the
Gar. and avert the war which his outrageous pre-
tensions could not fail to provoke"

CuBA.-The Washington Union appears to
think that the British policy to Africanlze Cuba is
now actually consummated, or is about being con-
summated in the scheme for introducing appren-
tees from Africa into Cuba, with the consent of
SPAIN and under the protection of sh ps of war; to
be worked fuf ten years as slaves, with the further
agreement that slavery will cease to exist in the
island at the end of fifty years. 1t further says
that wealthy Spaniards in Cuba are now negotla,
ting for the sale of African apprentices at hxed
price, in anticipation of impOrlations for which ar
Engagements have been made with the Government
of Madrid, and sanctioned and guaranteed, BY the
British Government. The Union treats the exc
cuton of this scheme, under the guarantees OF the
British Navy, and the necessarily continued Brit,
sh proectorate over the island, to make It effec-
tual, as transfer of Cuba from Spain to Britain,
and says:
sin this aspect of the case, the decided action
of our Government is demanded by that universal
ly approved American sentiment, which is , preERa1.
ropean power to interfere with the affairs OF this
continent"

Town Clock.

If there is any one thing which this community
needs more than another it is town clock. Ev-
cry man and woman in the pace must feel the
importance of having some common mode OF meas
uring and ascertaining the time. AS it is, no two
watches or clocks in the town designating the
same time, vast inconvenience often occurs. Two
men make q business appointment, and one goes
half an hour to- soon or too late, because his watch
is that much too fast or too slow. A hundred SIM
liar cases might be cited, to show how desirable
it is to have common time piece. We have
urged this matter several times already, and al
lude to it again at present, because we understand
the Trustees of the Lutheran Church are willing
that clock shall be placed in the tower of their
building. The location is central and convenient.
If the Corporation treasury cannot supply the ne
cessary funds, we should think they might be
raised by subscription.
After the above was put in type, we learned
that the County Court, on Monday made an order
appointing committee to considerand report upon
plan for the erection of a Town Clock at some
suitable point in Staunton. The Court also m; de
an order appropriating $40 for the purchase of
clock for the Court room.

The New Market Valley Democrat is very Sc
we're upon the Richmond Enquirer on account OF
its recent article headed "Local Jealousy-Eas
and West" which was ostensibly called forth by
brief paragraph in this paper. Wegive the fol
lowing specimen of the Democrats article:
"The excessive favors bestowed on the kid
plored and silk stocking gentry of Eastern Virgin
Ia. is cause of serious complaint, and will not be
submissively submitted to any longer. Those
who fight the battles are entitled to the honors and
emoluments, and not those who never engage in
uolitical contests. 1t has been the custom to be-
stow the honors upon men who seldom enter the
political field, while those who have borne the
brunt and heat of the battle have been left in in
Glorious obscurty. The selection of Judge Ma
Son for the mission to France is an instance of this
sort. A man whose fidelity to democratic princi-
ples was once questioned and whose dignity would
never permit him to condescend TO fight upon the
hustings in defence of democratic principles, has
been invited to take high seat in the political
synagogue 1t is down right injustice to those
democrats who have stood by their party's banner
in every emergency, and on every occasion, and
it is calculated to render serious annoyance and In
convenience in the democratic ranks"

Mr.. r. B. HOLLAND, the blind phrenoligist,
delivered free lecture, in Union Hall on Satur-
day evening last, on Phrenology, and gave prac-
teal illustrations of the subject by examining the
heads of some of our citizens Mr.. HOLLAND, be-
ing blind, is deprived of the advantages which
physognomy is supposed always to afford phre-
noloqists in such examinations, yet his delinea-
tions of character, in the instances which have
come to our knowledge, were most remarkably
accurate.
He will remain in Staunton, at the Virginia
Hotel, few days, and any persons who may have
curiosity on this subject will begratfed on giving
him call, as they will find him most skllfu
phrenologist, and at least an agreeable and very
intelligent gentleman.

virginia Central Railroad.

We have received. in advance, the Presidents
Report to the Eighteenth Annual Meeting OF the
Stockholders of the Virginia Central Railroad
Company, from which we gather the following
The report states the progress OF the worf
Westward, on which our readers are already ad-
vised. 1t urges the policy of pushing the work
to an early completion, and for this purpose re-
commends an application to the Legislature for
sufficient increase of capital stock, and also tor
loan. ON mortgage. lest the money might not be
speedily raised by subscription.
The President urges the construction OF short
line from Charlottesville to Richmond, on good
reasons both Of expedience and necessity. dou-
be track on this end of the road will soon be IN
dispensablc, and the advantage is shown on the
score OF economy in cost and distance by making
this second track on the shortest line, by which
saving of 25 or 80 miles can be effected. The
old line by Gordonsvlc will, it is argued, be prot
table still as branch road.
The road is relaid with q heavy rail from Cor
louisville to the Junction, and the report recon-
meads the early substitution OF the heavy rail-
throughout the line. The work shops of Com
pany have been removed to Richmond.
The receipts of the last year, ending the ooth
of September, amount to $2l0,052.ll, an excess
of $50, 800. II over the previous year, while the
expenses have not increased in the same ratio
This gratifying addition to the revenues has &C.
CURED without any material extension of the road,
having been advanced only miles in the year.
The Board recently declared a dividend OF III
per cent on that part of the stock created by the
acts of e36-'9S-'47-'4S and Isl, that being the
stock expended on the part ofthe road now in use.

is important that those of our citizens who own
carriages should remember, whenever funeral oc-

family of the deceased is able to hire them, and II
frequently happens that persons, especially ladies'

ETY. of sending their vehicles such occasions, al
though they may not be able or disposed to attend

Mise debt which each one owes to our common
