Bethel Church.

MEssES. EDrToES We feel constrained from
sense OF justice to call attention, through your
columns, to the taithfulness Of those engaged in
the building of BETHEL Evangelical Lutheran)
Church which dedicated the first Sabbath in
Aug. last. Eev.T. w. Dosh OF Winchester was pres
ent and officiated with Rev. L. Keller their reg
ular pastor.
The building committee, Messrs. Cline and Ke-
Ter, contracted for house So by so feet in 1861,
with Messrs. Sigler & Lantz, and as early as May
the entire frame of the church was up but ow-
ing to the war the work was abandoned, and moth
ing more was done until after its close. So when
the din OF battle ceased to echo over hill and dale,
and the last of summer were permitted to
mingle with the autumnal fruits, the old weather.
beaten frame was found too much decayed to COM
plete, and the church was a second time set under
contract to Messrs. Sigler q Co. as undertakers,
and they procuring the services of those worthy
gentlemen, Corbin, Proctor, and Pence, builders,
and Joseph Grandstaff of Edinburg as plasterer.
With this corps of workmen, and each proving
himself master of his profession in the completing
of the work Sc we'll, acceptably, and to the en-
tire satisfaction OF all persons interested. Mr..
Milton Koontz, also Of Edinburg, though last but
not least, seems to have displayed great mechani-
cal skill and poetical fancy in the frescoing and
painting. He has made the bright brighter and the
shining to glisten. We feel proud of our church at
cost OF --, and paid for, and not willing
to acknowledge it second to any in the Valley for
ne%tness. B. G. w.

Gen. d. e. White.

The Richmond Enquirer has some acquain
lance with the private as well as the public
character Of this military worthy, who, it will
be remembered, addressed the citizens OF She
nandoah, on the 30th ult. For the benefit OF
some of his radical friends. we give below the
recoieciions Of the Enquirer. Oh, such con-
sistent jewels. The flesh pots have most de-
lighi full SAVIOUR.
M d. B. White was Major of the Eighty
first New York Volunteers, resigned his com
mission in The fall OF 1864, when his regiment
was serving Ia the field in front of Richmond
Immediately after his esignation was accept
ed, he applied to General B. T. Butler, com
manding army Of the James. for the position
Of suffer of tie regiment in which he had re-
signed his commission.
General Butler issued general order there
upon, to the effect that Major d. B. White
having resigned his commission while in front
Of the enemy, was not fit 10 hold the position
of oot-black in his department, and that Mr.
White would Immediately leave the depart
ment.
Some months afterwards Mr.. White enlisted
as private in new York artillery regiment
and received over one thousand dollars bounty
and at the time Of such enlistment, he had a
commission in his pocket as Lieutenant Colo
mel of the same regiment from which he re-
signed and into which Office he was suisse
Quently mustered.

insipid Water Eiefons,

1t must be acknowledged, are meaner than
gar broth, ii the reader knows what that is.
We have recently seen such stuff in our mark
ct. They look well enough externally, but
when cut they have thick rinds little juice,
and unsavoury meat. Why is this ? In the
irst place, the characteristics referred to in
dictate that these watcrmelons. so-calied. have
been hy5ridized; that they partake laraely of
the qualities of pumpkins, cushaws, sqUashes,
cucumbers, muskmelons, or something Of the
sort, and perhaps gourds. Do those who sell
these things for watermel0ns ask how hat
can be Very easily. The truth is, you plant
your waterme!ons, your muskmelons, your Gu
cumbers, and everything of the sort, too near
to ca CHI other, perhaps in the same patch, and
the consequence is, that the ignorant humble
bees, honey bees, and other depredators, carry
the pollen, or tructifyirg properties of the
bloom, from one kind to another, and thus get
them mixed up. The consequence is, that the
melons are insipid, unsavoury, and not fit to
eat. To be pure, sweet, and juicy, melons
must be planted far enough from such things
as we have NAMED to prevent them from get
ting mixed.

Great Improvement,

We are pleased to see, in many respects, is
observable in our community. Our farmers,
especially. are waking up to the Importance of
q more thorough cultivation Of the sol and a
freer use Of fertilizers. If common sense did
not teach the necessity of adopting more pro
ftable modes of farming, the experience Of the
past two years ought to convince every intelli-
gent agriculturist the value of good fertilizers.
Heretofore, in large majority Of cases, too
little attention has been given to the prepare
ton Of the soil, and less to the application Of
manures and the result has been short CT ops,
impoverished land, and large expenditure of
time and labor for nothing. Another encour-
aging indication of future prosperity among
our farmers is that all who can command the
means are procuring improved implements,
such as plows, wheat drills, rakes, &c. Let
these improvements go On, and in a few years
we shall witness degree of prosperity in cur
community never before dreamed Of by the
coolest in habitant -

Your Home Paper.

We feel encouraged that our friends are
manifesing so great a disposition to support a
home paper. The Herald is looking forward
TO times coming, when as we design it shall be-
an institution Of Shenandoah. Friends, send
in your names !: We have made ample arrange
men!s for your accommodation.
In connection with the subject of home pa
pers we copy the following from one of our ex-
changes:
HOME PsPER.-Recolect that if q home
weeklJ paper is to be supported. home infiu
ence must do it. Every dollar sent to an east
ern paper is at the expense of the local journ,
al. country acquires prominence through it's
papers more tlanin any other way, and to every
one who has the interest in his county at heart
his home paper is a necessity. Never will such
man take a paper from home until he is able
to take a second paper. His first paper will be
his home sheet. and he will so identify his own
interest with that Of his county paper as to
consider his subscription as much matter Of
yearly duty as payment of hi. taxtes.

Splendid Fruit.

Several years ago, our fellow-citizens,
Messrs. Eianson Reynard and yrus Spengler,
planted an orchard, near the mountain in the
vicinity of Edinburg, embracing apples, pears,
peaches, &C., which is now beginning to yield
fine crops. Some specimens of peaches were
sent us for examination, a few days ago, which
were equal to any of the kind we ever saw
They were clings, juicy and luscious. In a
short time this orchard will yield larger in
come than any small farm in the county. Let
our people take the hint: plant orchards, put
out vinyards and they will soon be remunera-
ted for their trouble.
