Deaths.

In Middlebrook, very suddenly, on Thursday
morning, Sept. 24th Mr.. PHILIP KELSEY, for.
merly of Staunton, aged 60 years.
At the residence of her son-in-law, Capt. j. B.
Finks, in the town of Waynesboro on the 23rd
ult., Mrs. CATHERINE r. HoLLINGswoRTH, in
the 72nd year of her age.
Died at the residence of her mother, near the
Wilderness, Bath county, Sept 9Th, of pulmona-
ry disease Miss MARY E. JOSEPH, aged Is.
FAREWELL we shall not soon forget,
Although thy heart hath ceased to beat;
Our memories warmly treasure yet
Thy features calm and mildly sweet;
But. no! we've not looked our last
We yet will dwell where seraphs dwell,
Where love no more deplores the past
Or breathes that whitening word farewell.
Died at the residence of her grandfather HEN
RY BARE, in Staunton, on Tuesday, the 25th OF
August BETTE, daughter of John M. and Ma
ry E. Helm, in the 18th year of her age.
This sweet little girl was one of a pair of twin
of the remaining sister, who is now the only child
left to the stricken parents, whose sole consola-
ton in their bereavement is found in remem-
brance OF the attractions that made up the beau
tiful character Of 1.-THE loved and the lost"
There is little in the brief history of child to
excite and attract the worlds admiration, yet the
acute eye of fond and devoted mother sees
beauties in the budding being of her offspring
unseen by the world and recognized and mark
ed only by the omniscient Father of lis all. We
ought not to grieve that our Heavenly Father
takes our children from us in their innocent,
gleeful childhood, ere the dark and evil days
come in which they may SO truthfully say, 1--WE
have no pleasure in them" They are always
taken thus from the evil to come, and their sal
walton can be no matter of doubt or uncertainty.
So when the light of the innocent joy and the
cheerful, ringing voice of cherished household
idol have been removed from earth forever, we
should remember that they have only been trans
feIred to higher, holer, better, brighter sphere,
and not shut up in the darkness of the grave
Dear sweet gentle kind little Bette is not dead
she only sleeps. The light of her countenance
is not gone out forever. The tender embraces OF
her mother have been exchanged for the still ten
derer embraces of Him who said in the days OF
His incarnation 'Suffer little children to come
unto me- for Of such is the kingdom of heaven"
BettIe's constant companion and sister, her ia
Their and mother are left alone in this dark and
perilous world while she is safe and happy for
ever in that blessed country whose inhabitants
never get sick. Let little Betties friends see to
it that the separation which has taken place shall
be but temporary, so that when 'the angel of
death" comes for them, there may be reunion
in the land of the beautiful and good.

To well disposed persons mere suggestion as

since it is well known that the occupants of those

grounds is of course largely curtailed by those
acting thoughtlessly in this matter.

GOOD CHEESE.

In the Northern States great deal of money
is made from the manufacture of cheese. Just
as much could be made here if proper attention
were paid to it. We know that it can be made
of as good quality here as anywhere, for. we
have before us at this time a specimen of the ex-
cellent cheese made by Mrs. I. j. Parkins, OF
this county, which is as good as the best cheese
manufactured in New York. If any doubt this
seemingly bold assertion let them test its correct
ness by buying cheese of her manufacture.
The following lines were suggested by the
death of little LOUIS KELLY, who, after taking
draught of medicine, exclaimed: mo more,
mother, no more" He then laid his head in his
mothers lap, and in five minutes he was. mo

NEW FREIGHT ARRANGEMENT

An arrangement between the Chesapeake and
Ohio and York River Railroads, and the Pow
hatan Steamship company has been perfected,
by which freight is carried through from Balti-
more to Staunton, and all intermediate points,
in "a hours time. By this arrangement our mer-
chants, who have their goods shipped from Bal
tlmore by this route, receive them just as soor
as they would do if sent by express, and The
charges are much less. Mr. N. 81. Hotchkiss i:

Railroads. We can confidently recommend thi:
line Of transportation to our merchants and 9th

Augusta Greets Norfolk.

From all quarters we are grained by evil
dences of interest in the future of Norfolk,
and We print in another column an account OF a
public meeting which was recently held in Au-
gusta county with the view of appointing dele
gates to the Convention to be held in this city.
The Hon. A. H. H. Stuart was appointed
chairman, and Colonel Jas. 81. Skinner, son of
Commodore Skinner, once known as member
of the Norfolk Navy" was appointed secre-
tary.
1t will be seen that the foremost men Of that
magnificent county were present, among them
that noble Virginian, John b. Baldwin, who
stands among us without fear and without re-
proach.
General Echols, too, was there, and joined
his distinguished colleagues in an ardent advo-
cacy of the interests of Norfolk.
Turn to the account printed on our first page
and agree with us that these proceedings IN
the glorious Valley are of a nature to inspire
US with faith in the certainty ofour future.
And in view Of the kind and cheering words
spoken by such able aud earnest men as COM
posed this meeting our own people should turn
out to show that recent sheer at the apathy of
Norfolk was as undeserved as it was unexpect-
ed.-NoroH Vrginian.

Gen. Lee, blaming Gen. Rosecrans, and Gen.
