DEATH OF A STRANGER.-On Saturday the
I'd instant stranger named William Rogers
died at, the residence Of Mr.. Benjamin T.
iimberlake. We learn from Mr.. Timber
lake that the deceased came to the Valley
for the purpose of harvesting, and was taken
sick Immediately after reaching his house.
Almost from the first he was delirious, and
consequently could give but little account
of himself, except that bis mother had mar
ried Mr.. Thurman, and lived near Kes-
wick station, Albemarlc county, Va. 1.-The
has friends in Albemarle they can be ac-
quainted with the particulars of his death
by addressing Mr.. Timberlakc. ut Middle
way, In this county, Charleston Spirit
DESTRUCTIVE FfRE.--On Friday night last
the wheat stacks Of Mr.. White Vinzava,
near Gish's Mills, in Roanoke county, were
fired by an incendiary and totally destroyed.
Mr.. NinZava thus loses about 600 bushels
OF wheat-his entire crop. Suspicion points
to party OF negroes in the ncghborhood as
the perpetrators of this vile deed but so
far no evidence has been obtained to fix the
guilt conclusively upon them.-Lynch6ury

The Westinghouse of Mr.. r. II. Ander-
son, near Buffalo Ridge Springs, in Nelson
county, was burned to the ground on Satur-
day night, together with al its valuable con-
tents. Mr.. Anderson took very promi-
ncnt and efficient part in the recent canvass
in Nelson county, and the destruction of
his residence is believed to have been ac-
complished through the malice and vndic-
! tivencSs Of some incendiary Wells Negro

MoRMoNS MovISG.-A colony of one hun
drcd persons of both sexes passed through
| the city yesterday, on their way to Salt Lake
| City. They came from SiirrS county, North
Carolina, and got OH the train at Wytheville
depot. The women of the party largely out
| numbered the men. 1t seemed a rough. ig-
norant set altogether, though perfectly in
earnest.--Lynchbury Republican.
It's funny, but it's a fact. Since the Vir
ginia election the Radical papers are begin
ming to call the blacks ''niggers," while a
good many Of the Democratic journals
modify the title into "colored men,

Captain Mercer, the section-111aster on
| the Virginia and Tennessee rail ,roadwho was
shot few days since by IL negro, was re-
ported TO be somewhat better Yesterday,
and his physicians now entertain hopes that
he may possibly recover.-Lynchbury Neocs.
The following telegram was dictated to
the operator at this place, to be sent to Gov
| ernor Wells, by Il negro, few days since:
"Tcll the Governor the boys has done
failed, and Henry Norris, that he gin the
papers to, has done pintedly gone back on
| him. '-tStduf'ton Spectator.
That's gtSuine negro message.
