UMBER MINE I'm AUGUSTA.

Two New York men, Messrs. Murray and
Elston, have leased the lumber mine upon the
land of Mr.. Samuel G. Fauver, not far from the
Porcelain Factory, in this county, agreeing to
pay one dollar for each ton of lumber taken from
the mine. TIMBER is an oehreous ore of iron
used as paint of brown color. The lumber
heretofore used in this country has been brought
from Turkey. The lumber in this mine is said
to be as good as that brought from Turkey
The lessees will put up Immediately the build
ings and machinery necessary to prepare the
umber for market This will bring good deal
of money into that neighborhood The bosom
of this good old county is filled with valuable
minerals of nearly all kinds Development is
all that is needed to exhibit treasures the value
of which our people have never dreamed
With the Union restored upon the basis of con
stitutional liberty, and the rich resources of our
country properly developed. we might be the
wealthiest and happiest people in the world
The first necessity is the defeat of the Radicals,
whose policy, if carried into effect, would blast
the hopes of our country. 4

IN UNION THERE Is STRENGTH.

The two excellent hotels in this place have
been united The American Hotel was con-
Quoted by Col Chas T. O'Ferrall and the Vir-
ginia Hotel by Geo. L. Peyton & Bro. The
interest of VIM. HI. Peyton having been pur-
chased by Geo. L. Peyton and Col O'Ferrall
the two hotels will be conducted in future by
Geo. L. Peyton and Col O'Ferrall, under the
style of Peyton & O'FerralI Both houses will
be kept open for the accommodation of the
public, though the hotel will be the Virginia
Hotel, where as good fare and pleasant accom-
modations may be had as at the best hotels in
the large cities. The proprietors assure the
public that there shall be not only no deteriora-
ton, but an absolute improvement in the fare
and accommodations at the Virginia Hotel
They have a laudable pride in keeping a good
house, and with the increase ofmeans furnished
by the union, they will be enabled to improve
the style of the accommodations furnished the
public No reasonable man desires any better
fare than that furnished at the Va. Hotel at
this time, and would not ask for any improve
ment, but merely the preservation of statu quo

HARD ON AUGUSTA.

On Tuesday, the 18th inst, there were 1913
letters mailed at the Harrisonburg Post Office,
SAG of which, we learn, were dams to citizens of
Augusta county, from the Internal Revenue
Collector Old Commonwealth.
The Internal Revenue Collectors have never
had any cause to complain of the tax payers of
this county. They have paid promptly every
demand made upon them, notwithstanding that
it is tax imposed in violation of the great
principle which underlies Republican Govern
ment, to wit: That there should be no taxa

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

On Wednesday evening last, Mrs. Harlow,
wife of John Harlow, receiver of grain at Hax-
alPs Mills in Richmond, went with two lady
visitors to see the machinery at the mill, and
while in the upper story inspecting the working
of the elevator, Mrs. Harlow dress became en-
tangled in the cogs, and she was drawn in, and,
in less than one-half minute, was a terribly mu-
tilated corpse. Her body was severed in twain,
her head crushed, and both arms and legs cut
off. Mrs H. was about thirty-three years of
age, and leaves three children.

SMASHING BUSINESS.

On Monday evening oflast week, Baker Bros.
did literally quite heavy and smashing bust
ness. They filled one of their large rooms SO
full of heavy articles that the floor gave way,
and the goods in the falls mashed through the
floor beneath, making hotchpotch of salt, -four,
fish ct catera There were 600 sacks of salt, IS
barrels of fish, and many other things in this
mass. AS there has been such a fall of goods
in that store, it will probably induce an increase
of customers, for though they were low before,
they are certainly much loeer now. These en-
terprising business men lost no time in lament
ing their misfortune, but went to work imme-
diately and theoretically to repair it. They
don't shed many tears over the pail of split
milk. -.

CONCERT.

The Concert given in the Methodist Church,
on last Thursday night, was most delightful
entertainment, and was highly appreciated by
all who heard it the weeping heavens how
ever, prevented the attendance of o very large
audience The programme was composed of
some of the finest productions of the best au-
thors, and they were rendered in the finest style.
The Misses Ruth and Hersman, of Richmond,
displayed high degree of musical talent and
skill in their performance of solos and duets,
and may be deservedly classed among the finest
singers of the day. The quartettes, sung by
the Misses Ruth and Hersman and Messrs. E.
vans and Fore, were admirably sung, and did
great credit to the performers In fact all the
participants sung well, and the Concert was a
highly creditable one
1t will be seen, by reference to our advertis-

Friday night has been postponed until tonight,
