an Example for Tonng Men.

The papers continue to give many inte-
resting Incidents in the lifeof the late Sec
retary Marcy. As an example to young
tntn il is mentioned that, like most Of
New England yoang men, Mr% Marcy was
thrown on his own resources in early hfc.
When he left home to engage in the study
of law, his father gave him thirteen dollars
as an outfit. When he hal travelled about
twenty miles ten dollars of his money prov
ed counterfeit by stopping to work he
cleared the expenses of his journey, and by
teachlps carried himself to the bar" This
Is certainly an example worthy of the notice
of all the boys and young men Of the land
They can see in this instance, as in thous-
ands of others, that the elements of success
in life are not in the outward surroundings,
but in the man himself

Monterey, Highland Countrywide Nc
hgaska Mense.

4 pleasant visit Of week to the noun
tains Of Highland, during the session Of the
Special Court there, has renovated our
health and spirits almost as much as a
trip to the springs. These mountain airs,
fresh and pure as their crystal fountains, are
wonderful renovators, especially when asso-
ciated with the great improvement of the
country within the last few years. Till re-
Gently the forrishing village of Monterey was
desert, pow it teens with life and industry.
lis public houses, though small, are we'll
ordered and provided with comfortable ac-
oommoda.ions, and re feel it cur duty to say
that il all cur visits there, we have never
been SO comfortably provided for, as by cur
friend sHuMAFE, q the Nebraska. He is q
good fellow, aud deserves the patronage Of
liberal public. He gave us an excellent
room convenient to his hotel, which, with
several others, he had leased for the better
accommodation of his numerous guests
We are sure that all those who may favor
him with call will be pleased as we were,
with his good cheer and his active efforts to
make his guests easy and provide for them

Fresheis,

Consideral damage has been done in vari-
Gus parts of this county, by the heavy rains
Of the past week. On Monday last per-
feet tornado occurred in the neighborhood of
the late Maj. suromers-trees were torn up
by the roots, corn fields much washed and the
crop much injured aud the meadows ssnded
by the wash, rendering the grass valueless
The tornado was confined to small scope
of country In another direction,-tho farms
of Col. VIM. Bell, Mr. Dudley, and one or
two others suffered somewhat IRON the rains.

deriving consolation from the story publish
ed 10 he New York Herald, that Governor
Wise has come out openly in favor of Wal
kor and his Kansas policy will be disappoin-

hoaxed. The Richmond Enquirer has au-

Tie Concert,

We had the pleasure of attending, on
Friday night last, the Concert of Vocal and
Instrumental Music given by the Mountain
Sax Horn Band, assisted by the Stanton
Quartette and Giee Club The Concert was
given in the Town Hall and was under the
direction of Mr.. A. j. Turner, of Newtown,
Frederick CO., the instructor Of the Band
We have never seen so large IN audience in
Staunton-at an early hour the eapacious
Hall was filled to overhowing with the beau
ty and fashion of the town--all of whom
were delighted at the performance of the
Band, who have been in course Of train
ing but a short time This speaks well for
the musical talent of staunton-and the
large audience was a high compliment to
the young gentlemen composing the Band
as well as to their Teacher, for whose benefit
the Concert was designed. Indeed, it was
a credit to cur people, who By this sponta-
neous meeting, showed their appreciation of
good music, and their willingness to lend a
helping hand to praiseworthy object We
have never known Concert to pass off With
so much eelet. OF the character of tue mu-
sic, {both vocal and instfumentaD We shall
only remark that VIC heard gentleman say
that he had heard many distinguished per-
formers in the Northern cities, and while
he did not pretend that the members Of the
Band were rs scientific performers, yet he
had rarely heard better music The young
gentlemen composing the Band are all eiti-
Gems Of Stanton, and their performance re-
iieeted credit on themselves aud on theiy
Teacher, as vas evidenced by The large au-
dienee ia attendance, and che rapture with
which the pieces were eneored
The performance of MIR. Dreysprine. on
the Primo, (who kindly volunteered en- tie
occasion was elegant and elected much

REMARKS.

We publish above, the answer of Gel
Crozet, Principal Engineer Of the Blue
Ridge Railroad, aud in charge of the Tun-
mel, to some enquiries and remarks of ours
in the two last issues of the Vindicator.
We are sorry to see that the Col. has al
lowed himself to become excited, by what
was certainly not intended to be offensive
and that, While he reproves ssthe temper ex-
hibited in our last" he seems to lose his
own, entirely. It is not in accordance with
the sense Of propriety, in community like
ours, for public funetionary to talk of "tle
injustice Of aspersions," when his public
acts arc inquired into, or even criticised, or
when that inquiry or criticism comes from a
quarter which he ought to know has no de-
sire to 90 him injustice, to talk Of people
convinced against their will, being of the
same opinion still, Col Crozet should have
been among us long enough to know that
our people ~iH Look upon public men as SER
yaats IF TIC pad9ic-that they rail- question
them, and expect civil answers at their
hands ana that they are in the habit of Civ
ing their confidence most, to those who are
most willing to have their conduct inyesti-
gated. lie must learn to ''expect at our
hands" as public journalists--neyer, We
hope, an ill-natured, but always bold and
fearless scrutiny into his public aets---and !,
when ne make inquiry of him, we wish him
to believe that there is, in what we say, no
Thin covering of courteous propriety," but
a sincere desire to learn what we ask about,
and sincere conviction that we, and the
people we represent, have right to know
