Mr.. Samuel Bryarly, of this county,
had paralytic stroke last Friday, from
the effects of which he died shortly sf-
ter. He was good citizen, and Is
mourned by many friends.
Some few bass have already been
caught in the Potomac. The season,
proper for taking them will not COM
mence until about the 1st of June.
at is an i'll wind that blows nobody
eood.n The Steenmetz affair has in
duced the Board of Supervisors to pub
lish the proceedings of their monthly
meetings. The people of the county
will now have an opportunity of know
ing how their money is disposed of.
This paper long ago argued the pablica--
ton of the proceedings, but the Board
then thought it matter which the
people had no right to know anything
about. We are glad to note that .
"change has come oe'r the spirit OF
their dreams" in regard to the matter.
Better late than never. ..

THE GROWING WHEAT-It rarely oc-

GREENBRiER WHITE SULPHUR.-The
Messrs. Peyton having leased the Green
brier White Sulphur Springs, extensive
preparations are now being made, with
the view of putting the place in order
for the coming springs season.
The weather, during the past ten days,
has been delightful, and our farmers
have been busy in breaking up the soil,
preparing for their spring crops. Though
| late in season, with favorable weather,
large area of land will yet be put un-
der cultivation.
As general thing, the wheat crop, in
this section, looks well, and promises
good yield. Favorable reports also
reach us from other sections of the coun-
try.
GREENBRIER CIRCUIT CoURT.-This
Court commenced on Monday last
Judge Harrison on the bench. The

indictments.

learn that there has been discovered, on
the lands of the Misses Williams, in the
Irish Corner, bank Of coal, which
promises to be of considerable advan-
tage to that locality. The vein is
about six inches in depth, and the
width has not, as yet, been fully devel-
oped. It is thought, by those compe-
tent to Judge, that the coal is Of excel
lent quality.
