VALLEY ITEMS.

From our Valley exchanges we cory the
following items: -
On the 9Th inst, the School Rooms of
St. Francis (Catholic) Church, Staunton took
fire from the stove pipe and was totally destroy
ed.
- The Salem (Roanoke) Times learns
from farmers with whom it has conversed that
the wheat crop of Roanoke never presented a
more promising appearance at this season Of
the year.
Among the number of applications for
removal of political disabilities reported upon
favorably by the Reconstruction Committee,
we find the following from Augusta no. A.
Harman, i. F. Fifer. r. G. Dickle, D. G. Nc
Gufiu and R. D. Hill.
On Sunday the tin lust, an alteration
took place, at Pond Gap, Augusta county, be-
tween Reuben Green aud Joseph Green, both
oolored, in which the latter received a wound
from knife in the hands of the other, from
which he died in very short time.
- There is COW belonging to Mr.. james
Orchard near this place, that will tree
squirrels equal to the best terrier. and when
the nut-cracker is freed, she bellows and
paws the earth until the game is secured or
she is driven off. This may seem strange, but
we have it from one Of our Oldest and most
respected citizens 1ulicy TiTyi"tum.
"A sad aud melancholy accident occurred
near Nj cGaheysville; in Rockingham county,
on Tuesday the I'd inst, resulting in the death
of young man of that neighborhood, On
that day William Henry May, son Of William
May, OF that locality, in the 21st year of his
age, was killed by the accidental discharge Of
a musket which he had with him. He had
gone to Mr.. Huffman S steam Eaw>mil, taking
his gun along. 1t seems that he was pre-
pairing his pipe to smoke. and had placed the
muskct, which was loaded with shot, down by
his side. In this condition the butt of the
gun slipped. and the hammer striking The car
track of the saw mill, bursted the cap and
discharged the whole load in his side. He
suffered great agony until Thursday, when
death relieved him of his suf1erings.

AN UGLY AFFAIR.-The Morgantown
Post has an account of a ravishing affair of
recent occurrence near that place. The alleged
parties to the transaction have always stood
we'll in that community, and until the facts
are fully developed, it may be we'll to suspend
judgment. The Post says:
1t becomes our duty as public journalists to
chronicle an event that happened on Tuesday
night which shocked our whole community :
DR.. George w. Dent and Mr.. Samuel Frum,
of tins county, heretofore very respectable
men, were arrested ubout midnight by officer
Fife, charged with ravishing a Miss McFar
land. From what we could learn in reference
to the brutal affair, it seems that they caught
Miss Mcfarland, in company with her mother,
on tie road leading 20 Granville, and took her
by force TO what is known as FinneIls old
stable, near the road, and there accomplished
their purpose.
They were both discovered in the stable
with the girl, and, after making some little
resistance, Dent was captured. Frum escaped
at the time, but was subsequently captured,
and both are lodged in the county Jail. We
presume they will be tried at once, as court is
in session. Both are married lnen, aud their
victim is young girl about seventeen years
of age.

MET A DESERVED FArE,-In Auo,

MET a DESERVED FATE.-In, August,
1867, a man calling himself Frank T. Hine,
and hailing from Keedysville, Md, met us
at Shepherdstown, and became subscriber
to the Spirit of Jefferson, stating that he
would be in Charlestown in a few days and
settle for it. The matter went on for some
eight months, when we received letter from
the gentleman, informing us that he was about
leaving for the West, and until he was loca-
ted, wished his paper discontinued, but said
nothing about paying for the time he had
been receiving it. This was the last we ever
heard of said Hine, until we noticed in the
last Hagerstown Mil an account of his ar
rest for stealing two horses from the stable of
Thomas H. Champion, Esq, Of Pleasant VAL
ley, Washington county, Md. He succeeded
in disposing of these horses in Carroll county,
after which he took the cars for the West,
but was ovcrtaken at Benwood, and upon a
requsition from the Governor of Maryland,
was turned over to the authorities of that
State, aud brought back and lodged in the
Jail at llagerstown, where he is at present
confined. What lesson this, to parties who
refuse to pay the printer; and confirmation
of what we have always thought, that man
who would cheat an editor was in fair way
for the penitentiary.
