STANTON, Va, February 18th, 1868.
Mr. Editor:-As am about to take leave of
your town for while, Ibeg leave to occupy part
of a column in your newspaper, to express my
sincere regard for the citizens of Staunton and its
vicinity. have spent three agreeable years in
Staunton, as the pastor of the A. NJ. E. Church;
and can say, without exaggerating, that have
been treated with all due respect imaginable, by
both ladies and gentlemen-old and young-and
lawyers, doctors, merchants mechanics and la
borers; though Marylander by BIRTH and there
received my education. 9s
have travelled since the death of my old mas
ter, both North, South, East and West, but have
not found any people kinder and more friendly,
then the people in this community, in which
had the honor to reside for three years. I was
very much surprised indeed, about six weeks ago,
in meeting with the Honorable Judge Shelley at
the house Of one Of his former servants-who then
was lying at the point of death; and when en-
tered the room, the Honorable Judge rose from
his chair to speak and shake hands with me, and
after exchanging few words, he went to the
bedside of John Watson, his former servant, and
there consoled him with few words, and then
atfectionately bid him farewell. thought to
myself, oh! what sympathy was exhibited from
the former master to the servant have also to
record another instance, where Col. J. B. Bald
win, threw open his parlor, to the wedding guests
of Alice Craig, former servant, whose marriage
was to be celebrated at my Church, but the bad
state Of the weather prevented. | could mention
many other instances of kindness, if | had the
space, but cannet think of trespassing on your
kindness. In fact, have seen good many SIM
liar cases of this kind, in Staunton. Now, as
expect to take my leave of Staunton tomorrow
morning, conclude by wishing you all peace and
prosperity in this world, land happy home ip the
world to come.

immense hirsute arrangement is small straw

fessor Liebeg says that pork and beans forms a
compound of substances, peculiarly adapted to

knows, will feed small family for day, with
good strengthening food Four quarts of beans
and two pounds of corned beef, boiled to rags, in
fifty quarts of water, will furnish a good meal to
forty men at a cost of one dolar-two cents and a
half meal
