A Coop REpoRT.-Whereve the sons of
old Jefferson locate, good report comes from
them. Less than year ago we parted with
our old friend, Rev. HIRAM SHAULL, who left
this county to accept some appointment from
the German Reformed Church. Since that
time we had heard nothing from him, until a
few days ago the following notice attracted
our attention in the local columns of the New
Market paper:-
The Rev. Hiram Shaull, late Missionary of
the German Reform Church, has recently
accepted call from the Edinburg charge,
and has entered upon his pastoral duties. His
earnest preaching is attracting many hearers,
and will, doubtless, prove as seed sown in
faith upon good ground.

Local Correspondence.

Mr.. Editor 1t is u most significant and
gratifying fact in connection with the physical
part of our town and community, the spirit
of enterprise and improvement that prevails
All seem to be on the gui UiUe" as to the
most available means to better their condition,
be their business what it may. This spirit is
certainly commendable and in its healthful
and legitimate exercise, our good old town
will put on another appearance of thrift and
busy stir.
But Mr.. Editor how is it as to the moral
side of the question? Is there the same strong
desire and corresponding energy and activity
to advance and improve L fear, sir, in this
respect there is an awful apathy, condition
we'll nigh to moral death. l might just name
as a crying evil of our community, the extent
to which liquor selling and liquor-drinking is
carried. This monster wrong lives, breathes
and acts in our midst, (fraught with all the
woes it ever entails legalzed in the statute
and unrcbuked by the words or dongs of even
Christians. The old stagger on the streets,
the mddle-aged are slaves to Rum, our young
men are becomeing subject to its power; our
children are drifting to the same sad end,
and wives and mothers will yet have bleeding
and broken hearts. Worse still precious
souls are lost through it, for no drunkard can
enter the Kingdom of God. And yet in this
moral, christian community, the silence Of
death reigns about it. No warning voice is
given out, no earnest cry is heard against it,
no combined effort is put forth to stay the
fearful tide of ruin. Were the pestience to
visit our town and lay low in death old and
young, what anxiety and effort there would
be to stop its progress Were the rabid dog
or beast to be let loose in our midst, how
universal would be the effort to rid us Of
such danger? Were the devouring flames
to threaten our homes with destruction, how
mighty the energy to prevent the calamity?
But there is that traffic and practice among
US that RACES day and night with more than
pestilentiaI fury, that brings On a madness
worse and more fatal than hydrophobia, that
burns with fire more destructive than any
physical one, and yet we are silent. O tcm-

HEAVY LAND SALE.-One Of the most
extensive sales of land that has taken place
in this county since the war, was effected on
Friday last through the Real Estate Agency
of Messrs SMITH & WALTON. The valua-
bic farm Mr. JOSEPH MYERS, at Myerstown,
containing four hundred and eighty-fve acres,
and tract of mountain land of 112 acres
on the east side of the Shenandoah river,
were sold for $4,000. The purchasers were
Messrs WILLIAM and JOHN GRACEY, Of
Cumberland county, Pa. This sale may be
justly attributed to the energy and liberal
system of advertising adopted by the firm
through whom it was effected. They have
an extensive acquaintance in, and heavy cor
respondenco through every portion of the
State of Pennsylvania, and their facilities for
securing reliable purchasers are unsurpassed
by any real estate agency in the Valley of
Virginia.

PRoMoTIoN.-On Saturday week an cleo
zion was held in Harrisonburg, Rockingham
county, for corporation Offices. We are G lad
to notice from the Register that our former
county man, Capt. JOHN NJ. LOCKE, was
elected Commi ssioner of the Revenue by a
decided Majority. Capt. L. was a gallant
soldier in the army of the Confederacy, and
received wound which has partially disabled
him for life. We doubt not he will make an
efficient officer in the position to which he
has been elected, and VIC heartily congratu-
late him upon his success.
