A COOP LEcrURE.-The main features of
the lecture delivered by Prof HUNTINGTON
at Lee Hall on Thursday evening last, were
strong, forcible and instructive, and we think
as whole, the effort gave satisfaction to an
attentive audience. "Ancient Attica and
Athens" constituted the lecturers theme, and
the field opened was surveyed with scholarly
precision and ability. The descriptions of
Athens were most excellent, but rather minute
in detail, We thought, for the patience of the
audience. With this exception, the lecture
was an intellectual feast, which we are glad
to have enjoyed. The proceeds of the lee
ture, which we understand exceed $40 are
to be applied to the improvement of the Bap-
fist church of our town.

AcooMPLIsHED.-The great feat of the
past week, if not of the season, was the re-
noval of the store-house of Messrs. Howell,
from the lot of G. W. Sader, on which it
stood, to the corner known as the old Stephen
son property. This feat was safely and sue
cessfuIly accomplished and completed on Sat
grday afternoon through the indefatigable
energy and skill of Lieut.. d. II. Cockrell.
who had the contract for the laborious under
taking. On Wednesday morning the build
ing was showed out from its foundation into
Main street, and from that time until Satur-
day, with "a long pull, strong pull, and a
pull altogether" the work went forward, and
about oclo OK of the latter afternoon, she
was safely anchored on her new foundation,
without the cracking of glass, or the disar-
rongement of piece of goods upon the we'll
filled shelves The weight of this building
and its contents. we understand, is nearly 80
tons, and this entire mass was moved by the
muscle of about eighteen or twenty men, with
such appliances as were devised by Lieut.. q.
for the occasion. Taken altogether, and con-
sidering the safety with which it was accom-
plished, it is one Of the greatest feats in the
history of our town.

CIRCUIT CoURT-The September term of
the Circuit Court for Jefferson county, COM
menced on Tuesday last, but on account OF the
very serious indispositiUn of the Judge, no
great progress was made in the disposition of
the public business up to Friday afternoon,
when an adjournment was lad until this
morning.
Some ten or twelve indictments were found
by the Grand Jury, but principally of mere
misdemea1Or cases. John Thomas, a whole
some looking citizen, of the unbleached type,
was brought up before the court on the charge
of horse stealing, when he was interrogated
by his Honor, with the following result =
Juclge-Mr. Thomas you are indicted ny
the G rand Jury for the crime OF grand larceny.
Have you any counsel!
THon,us-'.No, Sir"
.Judge-.Do you desire the Court to as
sign you counsel?"
Thomus-"Don't think | need any, sir.
Judge-'Are you guilty or not guilty.
IH0nas-"Gui Utility"
.Judge-"Did you say you were not guilty."
7HonuS-"Oh, no, sir L am guilty.
did take Mr. Milstead's horse"
This emphatic ckuowledgm terminated
the interview between his Honor and the ac-
cused, aud as matter of form, the Court re-
quested one of the learned attorneys at the
bar to defend the prisoner on trial: This at
torney went over to his client, and had short
talk with hiul, the purport of which we could
not gather At any rate, it seemed to i'm
press upon the attorneys mind the fact that
his client was really guilty, and so he stated
to the Court, winding up with sort OF ex-
PLANTATION of Lis own position This portion
of his remarks we could not hear distinctly;
but however his position was soon changed as
by some freak of ill-fortune, the chair Which
he had been occupying had in his absence
been removed beyond the reach of that por-
tion of his person that he wished to place in
it. The result was legal drop-a hard ia !,
upon the brick floor of tie courtroom. For
a second or two, proceedings in court were
suspended, aud the Judge and bar smiled
over the mishap of their brother in distress.
How true.

DI6GING.-Butter is now selling for forty
cents pound in our market, and scarce at
that. Very often when you purchase Jumps
that are represented to weigh pound, you
are cheated in the weight. We have heard
of two cases in the last week where purcha>
sers have been sorely dug by buying these
pound Jumps. In one case the standard was
not reached by two ounces, and in the other
a qnartsr of pound was lacking in two
Jumps. What is the world coming to mot
butter, surely.

A CHANGE The advertisement of Messrs,
Brown & Henderson. notifies the public that
they have made change in their business,
aud that they propose entering upon wider
field of operations for the future. All that
they assert of their present stock is true to
the letter, as we can testify from personal OBJ
servation. Their store-room is now model
of neatncss, and their well-flled shelves and
burdened counters, bear testimony to their
purpose to accommodate the public.

HoMIoIDE.-An unfortunate difficulty oc-
Cured al Taylortown, in this county, on Satur-
day evening last, between Geo E. Cooper, and
Chas. 81. Shoots, (neighbors and cousins),
which resulted in the killing of the latter
We understand that Shoots went to the house
of Cooper while he was at supper, and origi-
mated quarrel. Cooper ordered him to leave
or he would shoot him, at the same time
taking up his shot gun. Shoots went out,
still quarreling, but afterwards returned, and
as he was entering the door Cooper fired, the
load lodging in Shoots left breast, from the
effects of which he died in about fifteen
minutes. Cooper made no attempt to escape,
but on the contrary sought an officer by whom
he might be taken in custody. A warrant
was issued for his arrest by Justice Stout on
Sunday, and in the afternoon he was lodged
in the Jail in this town by Constable Wine.
On Monday Cooper was examined by the
County Court, then in session, and bailed in
the sum of $1,000, to answer before the next
grand jury.-LeesJurg Mirror.

DR.. j. j. LAwRENoE.-Dear SIR: My
youngest daughter, aged five years, has been
dreadfully afflicted with Scrofula nearly all
her life. 1 tried a great many physicians,
but without relieving her much in fact.
most of them said there was no hope of cure.
During the last Spring she was worse than
ever, her body and limbs being covered with
sores and blotches-with face and eyes badly
ulceratrd and swollen. Whilst in this con-
dition was advised by Dr. L. A. Smith, to
try Rosadalis at once procured three bot

NEwspAPERs.-The Winchester Times
comes to us in an enlarged, if not improved
form. The enlargement was made necessary
by the heavy increase of advertising patronage.
The Times is good paper, and we are glad
to chronicle its success.
- The Winchester Sentinel is a new paper,
the first number Of which is before us. 1t is
edited by N. d. MEADE, Esq, formerly of
the Winchester Republican, whom we are
glad to welcome back to the editorial harness.
We expect to have an occasional tilt with him
on the railroad question, and We will impose
upon him some of the severest labor of his
life if he attempts to prove the Winchester
route the best and shortest for the extension
of the contemplated road. May he and his
paper flourish without another railroad.

LOCAL MISCELLANY.

MIR. M1ppLEKAUPF,s CAsE.-This case
which excited so much interest last spring,
and at the same time enlisted the universal
sympathy of our community for the accused,
is to be tried at the present term OF our Cir
emit Court. now in session. The grand jury,
on the testimony of Mrs. Sullivan, found an
Indictment last week, and by consent of coun-
sell, to-day was fixed for the commencement
of the trial After this arrangement and
unders landing, Mr.. Stanton, who has been
employed on the part of the prosecution,
moved for change of venue, which motion
will be argued this morning We understand
that the reason assigned for this motion was
that the State could not get justice in this
county, in the trial of this cause. In other
words, the character of the accused was SO
good, that a conviction was not likely to re-
suit from trial here.
In case of this kind where the testimony
is so very conflicting, character becomes q
part of tie res geste and, in this is involved
not only the character of the witnesses upon
either side, but the good character of the ac-
oused is of the greatest value in the case
In the county of Jefferson Mr.. Middlekauff
is we'll and thoroughly known, and his good
character is conceded on all sides; therefore,
Mr. Stanton, in violation of what seems to be
the duty of every fair minded prosecuting
counsel, is anxious to take the case TO some
county where the defendant is little, or not at
all known, and where it is hoped his good
character will be of no particular value. AS
this motion must be addressed to the discre-
ton of the Court, we trust Judge Chapline
will not do Mr.. NJ. the gross wrong to send
the case to some other county for trial.

DEATH OF AN AGED LADY.-Our citizens
heard with regret of the demise, on last Sat
urday, of Mrs. Ann Dolby, the most aged in
habitant of Winchester, or perhaps of the
lower Valley. Mrs. Dolby had witnessed
three generations pass away, and up to within
a week of her death retained an unclouded
intellect, together with remarkably vigorous
constitution. In fact, several weeks since
she performed physical labor which would
stagger many females in the prime of life
Mrs. Dolby was born, as nearly as ascertained,
about the year 1875, and was consequently
in the 9th year of her age. She distinctly
remembered the close Of the Revolutionary
war, and was woman well advanced in life
when the war of 1872 occurred. For many
years she had been consistent member OF
the Methodist denomination, and in fact was
co eval with the rise of Methodsm in the
Valley of Virginia. Winchester Ne0s.

LITERATURE IN THE soUru,-All South.

LITERATURE IN THE SoUTH,-All South
ern men and women with the proper feelings
of self-respect, should be deeply interested in
the efforts which are now being made through
out the South to develop her native literary
talent, and to build up literature, through
which her past history shall be vindicated
from all the obloquy whichis being heaped
upon it. and whereby Southern thought and
Southern civilization shall be adequately rep.
resented in the arena of the modern world
But strange as it may appear, there prevail
remarkable apathy and Indifference on the
part of the great mass of the population to all
literary projects, which can scarcely be ac'
counted for on grounds creditable to Southern
character. The editors of the South, as
body, have perhaps done what they could to
pie to the imperative necessity of fostering
native enterprise, if they wish to preserve
inviolate the sacred honor of their dead, and
to- bequeath heritage of liberty to their
children.
The NeO Eclectic Magazine, which has now
been In existence for three years, and with
which has recently been incorporated The
Land We LoUe, stands at the head of the list
of Southern publications. At this period of
the year, when persons are in the habit of
choosing their periodicals for the winter, it is
especially requested of the Public that they
bestow part at least of their patronage upon
periodical published in their interest, and
which, the Southern and the Northern press
both being the judges, is the peer of any mag
azine published in America,-both in its lit
erary standards and the quality and attractive
