The RICHMOND TYPE FoUNDRY-We have
been guilty of an inadvertence in failing to men,
ton that the beautiful suit of type in which the
WING now appears was manufactured for lis at
outfit we have obtained from that establishments
one before and two since the war-and we are
prepared to bear emphatic testimony to the fidel-
ity with which the proprietors (Messrs. H. L.
Pelouze q Co.. execute their contracts, to the
beauty and durability of their work, and to the
fairness of their prices. The dress we have just
laid aside had been in constant use for three and
half years, an extraordinarily long period for
type to last with paper of such circulation as
the WING. The Richmond Foundly has large
capital invested, and possesses ample facilities
for filling promptly every variety of order in it's
line. 1t leaves no occasion for Virginia or South
ern publishers to cross the Potomac in quest of
the implements of their trade, but affords them
an excellent opportunity of practicing what they
preach-the encouragement of home industry

Died, near Moscow, Va, on the 9Th instant, OF
chronic rheumatism, j. WILLIAM PROPS aged
% years, 10 months, and 10 days. The deceased
had been on visit to his uncle some or days,
and, in company with a cousin, was returning
from the former place, and died in few minutes.
The writer of this notice was often in his compa-
ny, and although he was a great sufferer, was
never heard to murmur at his fate He received
all the comforts that could be bestowed by kind
mother and an atfectionate brother.
On Sunday morning last at his residence on
Turkey Creek in Monroe county, Mr.. GEORGE
LYNCH, in the 68th year of his age. Mr.. Lynch
was native of Augusta county, Virginia, but
for more than 80 years resident of this county
The community feels that it has sustained a
loss of no ordinary magnitude in the death of
this man. On hearing of his death, one of his
most intelligent neighbors remarked: 1--WE have
lost truly good man." And those VINO knew
Mr.. L. would universally concur in the senti-
ment. He was truly good man" in the high
est and best acceptance Of the term. Naturally
kind and amiable in his disposition, his effort
seemed to be to make all around him happy
But it was his Christian character which consti-
tuted his chief excellence In early life he pro-
fessed to have expei fenced change of heart and
continued for long series of years most exem-
plary member of the NJ. E. Church No one
ever doubted the sincerity of his profession. He
was follower of Christ, and he loved all the
followers of Christ by whatever name they were
known. In the public worship of God, in the
prayer meeting, and in the room of the sick and
dying, he seemed to be animated by truly
Christian spirit. 1t is wonder, therefore, that
on his dying bed peace possessed his soul. His
end was more than phaceful. But short time
before his departure, he sang:
''On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
And cast wishful eye,
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie &C.,
He afterwards repeated with JOY those sweet
words:
Jesus can make dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are"
His bereaved wife and mourning children weep
but their tears of sorrow are mingled with tears
of joy Union Register

WHANN'S
RAW BONE sUPER-PHosPHATl

WE again offer to the people of Augusta and
w adjoining counties, this GREAT FER
TILIZER for all crops, and would be entirely
unwilling to recommend to you any article, in
which We have not IMPLICIT CONFIDENCE.
We have made careful inquiry and fully be-
lieve this is the best Fertilizer offered to your
notice; one that combines Pe1manency of Effect
upon the Soil, acitA the most vigorous action upon
the groaoing plant; that has been most satisfac-
toriy TESTED BY YEARS OF TRIAL, with
standard of quality that is not only guaranteed,
but which is now higher than before; and that
it is in Short all its proprietors claim for it. The
ingredients of WHANN'S RAW BONE ST.
PER-PHOSPHATE are Raw Bone, Guano
Sulphuric Acid Potash and Soda, all subjected
to thorough chemical analysis before they are
purchased. No inert substances are used The
Phosphate is WARRANTED FREE FROM ADUL-
ITERATION, and is offered to Farmers as thor
oughly reliable article, honestly prepared. and
excelled by no other manure.
sections of the country regarding the experience
of farmers with Whann's Phosphate, have been
of the most atsfactory kind. On Wheat, Oats,
Corn, Potatoes and in fact, on every crop with
which it has been used, testimonials from farmers
assert that it has more than fulfilled their expec
tations. WORKOUT lands have, by its use become
productive. Used alongside of Peruvian guano,
barn-yard manure and other phosphates, it has
almost invariably excelled them all.
This Fertilizer has been successfully and salts
factorily tested on SPRING CROPS-especially
on Oats and Corn. By calling on us and exam
ing circulars and testimonials, you will see at
once that it will be to your interest to TRY IT.
rs We give few testimonials showing the
high appreciation the farmers of this county have
for the worth of this valuable and reliable phos-
phate:
We, the undersigned, used Whann's Raw
Bone Super Phosphate on our Wheat crop last
year and experienced NUMBER ONE YIELD from
its effects. We have used it again this year in
LARGER QUANTITIES, and our present prospects
are fatterng We believe it to be equal if not
superior, to any Fertilizer we have seen.
1t is an elegant stimulant for grass

rs We could give any number of Certificates
and references, but deem it unnecessary, and will
only add that we sold last year-for CasA-ONE
HUNDRED AND TEN TONS; and if we
could have extended the time to four and twelve
months as other fertilizers in the market were,
we could have sold two hundred TONS if not dou-
bled the amount sold and we have not had one
person who used it to say, that he has not spen-
did prospect for fine crop from it.

We are told by some of the few newspapers
engaged in manipulating the newest move
ment" in Virginia, in one breath, that it is best
for the Conservatives to remain perfectly quiet
and say nothing, because whatever they are
seen to favor is sure to become Immediately
Objectionable to the dominant party at the
North-and in the next, the same Conserva-
tives are assaulted for doing nothing. The truth
is, the Conservatives have done everything that
has been required of them by civil law or mill
tary authority. The only thing they have not
done. yet, is to desert their avowed principles.
Nor have they adopted the principles and can
didates OF any branch Of the Radical panty
We are afraid that this is the thing that Some
wish to be done-and that, doing that, they will
be thought to have done enough l-Aler. Ga
