For the Spectator

&
MEssRs. EDIToRs: in your issue Of the lst OF
June, there appeared communication, signed
Many Voters calling upon me to announce
myself candidate to represent the county OF
Augusta in the next House of Delegates.
While / fully appreciate the compliment paid
me, I am forced, by many considerations, which
it is not necessary that should state, to decline
acceding to their fattering request.
The next Legislature will be the most impor-
tant that ever assembled in Virginia. as it will
have to put in operation new Government I'M
der Constitution which, even when expurga-
ted, as proposed, is not such an one as any con-
siderable body of Virginians would have, if they
could escape it,
Itcan, if composed of wise and patriotic legis-
lators, make the county organization provision
measurably bearable; but if, through neglect or
apathy on our part, the Radicals should get con-
troll of the body, it may be made as oppressive
as its trainers intended it should be. ~
Let the people of Augusta then, as early as
possible select their very best men as candidates
for the Legislature. and, when election day shall
come, poll their votes to the very last man for
them and the Walker State ticket
Let no consideration of prejudice or policy in
duce any white man in crisis like this to neglect
to register, or when registered, to fail to vote
against Wells and his subalterns.

MEMoRIAL CELEBRATION.

Saturday last was observed by the people of
Staunton and Augusta as Memorial Day
The early hour of O clock had been named for
assembling at the Soldiers Cemetery. 1t was
not intended to have any formal procession or
public ceremonies on this particular occasion,
and no programme had been arranged.
But at 81 o'clock, an impromrtu procession
formed on Main street, composed of the old
Stonewall Band, the Augusta Fire Company,
the Sons of Temperance, the Fire Company of
the D.. d. & B. Institution, and the Brass Band
OF the Institution; following these were the pu-
pills of the Augusta Female Seminary, and Of
the Virginia Female Institute bearing wreaths
of beautiful flowers citizens on foot, in carri-
ages and on horseback filed the rear. tBE
Under the conduct of Col Bolivar Christian,
as Chief Marshall assisted by Maj. j. Marshall
Hanger, Capts. Bumgardner, Berkeley, Arnall,
and Ransom, the procession moved to the Gene
terry under the inspiring music of the bands
Here an immense crowd of the citizens of the
county had assembled-all bearing their touch
ing tributes of flowers to decorate the graves of
their fallen defenders. .L iAtd
After music by the Stonewall Band, the fol-
lowing ode, adapted by DR.. j. L. Brown for the
OCCASION was beautifully sungby members of the
Staunton Musical Association:
Strew fowery wreaths upon the graves
OF those who shed their blood and died
In freedoms cause; though twas in vain,
Their deeds elate our hearts with pride
Strew O er them flowers mid battles din
O think how hard their fate to die.
No mother dear no sister there,
Nor friend, tSsclose the death-dimmed eye.
A while they rest within the tomb
In sweet repose till morning come.
Then rise, we trust, to meet their God,
And ever dwell in his abode.
Celestial dawn triumphant hour,
How glorious that awakening power
Which bids the sleeping dust arise
nd ioin the anthems of the skies.
His weary life will soon be past,
The lingering morn will come at last,
And gloomy msts will roll away
Before that light unfadlng day. -.s
After the singing concluded, the Band of
the D d. & B. Institution played two sweet and
appropriate airs, and the ladies then, with tender
care strewed their floral offerings over the two
thousand lowly, sacred mounds where lie all
that is mortal of so many Of the true and brave
of our Southern land.
The beautiful ode of Collins comes Familiarity
to our memories:
''How sleep the brave who sink to rest
With all their country's wishes blest
When Spring with dewy fingers cold
Returns to deck their hallowed mould aa
She there shall dress a sweeter sod
Than Fancy's feet have ever trod-
By Fairy hands their knell is rung,
By forms unseen their dirge is sung, -rl. &
There Honor comes, a Pilgrim Gray
To deck the turf that wraps their clay, ,. b
And Freedom shall awhile repair
TO dwell weeping hermit there" ~

''Pick out the largest and best berries, stem or
scapsthem, and to each pound of strawberr put
a pound of loaf sugar and a half glass of white
wine; let them stand four or e.hours; take off
the syrup SO as not to mash the fruit, and clarity
It's then put in the strawberries, and to each
pound put as much fine alum as will lay on the
blade of penknife-too much alum will spoil
them; let them boil fifteen to twenty minutes and
shake them round in the kettle but do not stir
them with spoon, as that will mash them after
you take out the fruit let the syrup boil up, and
then put them up in jars air tight. Before put
ting the top on the jar, put piece of white pa
per over the berries, and pour spoonful OF BRAN
dy on it. Whenever practicable, the berries
should be gathered in midday.
