Afr. Editor With several Of the Masonic
Fraternity and citizens generally I paid a
visit to the beautiful village of Bridgewater,
Rockingham county on the Odd inst, to wit
ness and participate in tie festivities Of the
occasion connected with the celebration Of the
birthday Of St. John the Baptist. 1t was a
cheering trip, reviying old acquaintance and
bygone days and making new friends. I
write in part to speak of the wheat crop
which far surpasses anythingI expected. 1t
is wonderful to see the improvement for the
last four weeks. There will be more wheat
in the upper end of Rockingham and the
lower end Of Augusta than there was last
year. The oats is the finest prospect have
seen for years-we all croaked too soon
Wheat, the good wheat lands have failed to
a great extent in some sections, the thin gray
gravelly soils have more than an average. -
This is just rebuke upon extortion and
avaricc. But to return to the procession by
the mystic tie 1t was grand affair, and of
the speech Mr. Editor, wish you could have
heard it. For eloquence, beauty argument and
pathos, it exceeded anything l have ever
heard on the subject Of Masonry, and was
the clearest expose of the subject to which |
have ever listened. trust it will be publish
cd as it was intended, in the main, for the
initiated. viii not attempt description,

TIE Annual Examination of the pupils of the
Deaf and Dumb, and Blind Institution took place

eyaning June 2eth. The Hall was crowded with
spectators who gazcd with wonder and admra-
ton on theacquirementso Of the unfortunate pupils,
as exhibited in tho examination. Difficult pieces
of music were rendered with correctness and pa
thos by the Blind, who likewise showed remark
able aptness in every branch taught in their de-
pArtment; ono of them creating quite sensation
by the demonstration of problem in Analy tical
Geometry.
The Deaf-mutes exhibited wonderful ability
70 acquire knowledge, some Of whom far surpasS
many of the Same age who can both speak and
hear.
When we consider the difficulty, Of imparting
instruction to those who can not see, hear, the
patient and persistent zeal of the teachers in this
Institution can not be too highly praised. Tho
worthy and competent Principal, MAJ. J. G.. Co.
v0ll, has devoted his whole time and energy to
the Institution and its pupils, and will be justly
awarded large degree Of praise for the success
the Institution has met with under his manage
nent.

Proprietcrs,

This commodious and popular Hotel, (which
has been closed for several years) long known as
the leading Hotel of town, has been
REMoDELED, PAINTED AND pAPERED,
in the best style, and furnished with
NEW AND ELEGANT FURNITURE,
and possesses now every modern improvement fo1
the comfort of guests. 1t is now re-opened and
kept in style not surpassed by any Hotel in the
STATED
1t is pleasantly located in tho most business
portion of the town,
100 Yards from the Railroad Depot!
not so near as to cause the guests to be ANNOYED
by the running of trains and the noise and bus
tie at the Depot.
To such as may feel disposed to patronize those
who served with gallantry and fidelity in the
Confederate army, they would say that one OF
their firm-Col Chas. S. Peytou-raised avolun-
teer company at the beginning of the war, and
had the misfortune to lose an arm in the second
battle of Manassas, and that, notwithstanding he
was thus crippled, he remained in the service in
the field and was again wounded in the terrible
battle of Gettysburg. He remained in the mill
tary service till the war was over.
The Proprietors, however, do not rest their
claims to patronage upon military services and
Sacrifices but upon the
CHARACTER OF THEIR HOTEL.
Those who wish the very best fare and accom-
modations, whether
FROM THE NORTH OR SOUTH,
can be suited to a ''T'' at the Virginia Hotel.
The Post Office, Adams Express Office and
Fine Billiard Saloon are in this build
ing; good Livery Stable is also
connected with the Hotel. Stages
on the various lines will take
passengers to this Hotel,
and call for them
when they wish
to leave
Omnibusses to and from the Depot Free!
Having long experience as Hotel Keepers, tue
Proprietors trust with
MODERATE CHARGES AND LIBERAL POLICY,
to maintain the favorable reputation of the
Old Virginia Hotel.

[TTO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA. =
j If you need one of the best remedies ever OF
fered to the people of this State for Derangement
of the Liver, such as Congestion of the Liver Tor
por of the Liver, Deficient Secretion of Bile, and
the long list of diseases resulting from such dc
engagements as Jaundice, Bilious Colic Loss of Ap
petite Dyspepsia, Fluctuations of food, FIatulen
cy, painful digestion, or pain in the stomach OF
sides, Vertigo Headache, sick Headache, Neu
ralgia, Rheumatism, lmpurity of the blood, and
all conditions ordinarily called Bilious, Derange-
ments of the Digestive Organs all forms of Con
stipation, and for all the purposes of a Family
Pill, use cdr. T. Rennolds' celebrated Virginia
Hepatic and Purgative Pill"
This pill is not the invention of a quack or an
impostor designed to impose upon public credu-
lily, but was compounded by DIR. 7. Rennolds,
of Stanton, Va, regular graduate and eminent
practitioner of medicine in this section who, after
years of careful study, so arranged the proper
tons of the ingredients to render it applicable
to the diseases for which it is recommended He
had no idea of extending their use beyond the
community in which he lived and practiced, but,
after his death, which occurred in January, 1864,
having left the formula for compromising them to
his brother, VIM. Rcnnolds, of Louisa county,
Va, the latter, for reasons stated in pamphlet
around box containing them, has undertaken to
have them manufactured for the people of the
whole State.
InlS plll has stood the test OF ample experience,
having been extensively used and highly valued
by the people of this section for many years. as is
substantiated by certificates contained in PAM
phlet around box, as well as other evidences OF
appreciation from many of our most distinguished
and reliable citizens.
The price of this pill is fifty cents per box
Though this is apparently higher than the price
charged for those ordinarily sold to the public,
yet it must be remembered that the dose is less
than one half of the latter, and consequently is
just as cheap as any others.
To prove this, it is only necessary to call atten-
ton to the fact that boxes of pills usually contain
from "a to 80 pills, the average dose being from
to s. Our boxes contain IL, the dose being on
ly one for ordinary purposes, and hence thequan-
tty is just great in smaller bulk without ref
erence to the certainty and efficiency of the REM
dy and obviating the serious objection to taking
SO many for one dose.
Nothing is claimed for this pill that we do not
conscienciously believe, and if we cannot succeed
in introducing it to the people by stating the
truth, we will not degrade ourselves or try to i'm
pose upon others by going beyond it.

AYERS PILLS.-Are you sick,

the prelude of serious illness. Some
fit of sickness is creeping upon you, and should
be avertcd by timely use of the right remedy
Take Ayers Pills, and cleanse out the disordered
humors-purity the blood and let the fluids move
on unrestricted in health again. They stimulate
the functions of the body into vigorous activity,
purify the system from the distractions which
make disease. A cold settles somewhere in the
body, and deranges its natural functions. These
if not relieved, react upon themselves and the
| surrounding organs, producing general aggrava-
ton, suffering and arrangement. While in this
condition, take Ayers Pills, and see how directly
they restore the natural action Of The system and
with it the buoyent feeling ofhealth again. WHAT'S
true and SO apparent in this trivial and common
complaint is also true in many the deep seated
and dangerous distempers. The same purgative
| effect expcls them. Caused b. similar obstruc-
| tons and arrangements Of the natural functions
of the body, they are rapidly and many Of them
surely cured by the same means. None who know
the virtue of these Pills will neglect to employ
them when suffering from the disorders they cure
such as Headach, Foul Stomach, Dysentery, Bill
ious Complaints, Indigestion, Derangements of
the Liver Cosivencss Constipation, Heartburn,
rheumatism Dropsy, Worms and Suppression,
when taken in large doses.
They are Sugar Coated, so that the most scnsi
tive take them easily, and they are surely the
best purgative medicine yet discovered.
