We have now opened our new and commodi-
Gus Warehouse, (adjoning Mr.. A. T. Snouffcr's
Grain Warehouse, nearthe old Depot where you
can always procure the highest price for all kinds
of Grain and Flour) where will keep an as
sortment of the latest and most improved patents
of AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS.
The genuine Pitts or Buffalo Threshaeg Mo-
cI1rae which is without rival for strength, dura-
bity and elegance of finish and is the latest com
bined Cleaner in the world. Sizes-M inch, %
inch, 80 inch, and Sc inch cylinders. Parties pur-
chasing should be careful, to get the right
Machine, as there are so many agents trying to
sell the Machines who know nothing about them
and cannot furnish any part which may break
and do not know when the parts are together ;
and we have had ten or fifteen years of expe-
rience in the business we can fit them out COM
plete.
Also, the standard machine the "Buckeye Reap
and Moaoer," the only Machine that is adapted
to the rough surface Of the Valley Of Va. For
simplicity and durability, the world cannot beat
it as combined Reaper and Mower. They have
no cog-wheels where others have in the drivers ;
also other advantages over other machines. We
ask nothing except a trial. and will satisfy any
one desiring machine. Persons desiring to pur-
chase machines, are referred to the following gen

stencil it reeks with perjury, treason and eve
ry foul crime it seeks to destroy our fair fabric

the false pretence Of restoring the Government,
we are taxed $500, 900, 900 a year to bring about
and continue this state of affairs. We must

The following is an extract from the cores
pondence Of the Alexandria Gazette, dated
Columbus, Ohio, August 18th, 1867:
Il have watched, particularly, since I have
been here, what degree of association there was
between the white and colored people, and
can truly say that there is less than there has
always been with us. There was a procession
of colored people in Urbana, whilst was there,
and | saw boys picking up pebbles to throw at
them as they passed; an act which, had it oc-
Cured with us, would have been chronicIed in
the Northern papers as evidence of the most
intense disloyalty.'
1t is related of the elder Booth that he was
never known to laugh out of time on the stage
except upon one occasion. Ayoung man, whose
duty it was to say, in one Of Shakspeares
tragedies, ..'Stand by, my Lord, and let the
coffin pass became greatly confused when his
par. came to be acted, and shouted at the top
OF his Volce-'Stand by, my Lord, and let the
--pdrson cough. This was too much for
Booth, and he was obliged to turn tragedy into
comedy by INDUCING in undisguised laughter.

When Col Billy Wilson Zouaves, of prcda-

in 81 some benevolent persons in New York
took up a collection to supply the lambs with
hymn books and chewing tobacco.
The committee with the funds went down to
Staten Island, passed through the camp, in
spected the lambsin their tents, and finally came
to Col. Billys headquarters The chairman
made neat speech, then putting his hand in
his pocket discovered that the money was gone.
Il had it, said he, when I reached the
camp"
Says Col. Billy, II guess it's all right
Some Of the boys have got it. Adjutant, lust

Adjutant went out to investigate, and return
