Curious VIII.

One of the most curious wills ever
made was by an Englishman at Mont
gaillard, in 1922, thus quoted in Once q
Week: "It is my will that eny one of
my relations who shall presume to shed
tears at my funeral shall be disinherited.
He, on the other hand, who laughs the
most heartily, shall be my sole heir. l
order that neither the church nor my
hearse shall be hung with black cloth,
but that, on the day of my burial, the
hearse and the church shall be decorated
9th flowers and green boughs. Instead
of the tolling of bells, 1 will have drums,
fiddles and flies. All musicians of Mont
gaillard and its environs shall attend the
funeral. Fifty of them shall open the
procession with hunting tunes, waltzes,
and minuets." ..-.

INTEREST MoNEY.-A good story is
told of a rather verdant agricultural Ia
borer, who, having by hook and by crook
scraped together fifty dollars, took it to
his employer, with request to take care
of it for him. A year after the laborer
went to another friend, TO know what
would be the interest on it. He was
told three dollars, "WeA," said he, al
wish you would lend me three dollars
for day or two. My boss has been
keeping fifty dollars for me year, and
/ want to pay him the interest for it."

A Chapter of Facts.

Space is valuable in o newspaper, ana 1t Is
therefore proposed in this advertisement to con-
dense a variety of facts important to the public,
into small space Those facts refer to Hostetter
Stomach Bitters-what that celebrated medicine
is. and what it will do. In the first place, then,
the article is a stimulant, tonic and Alternative,
consisting of a combination of an absolutely
pure spiritious agent with the most valuable me-
dicnal vegetable substances that Botanic re-
search has placed at the disposal of the chemist
and the physician. These ingredients are com
pounded with great care, and in such proportion
as to produce a preparation which invigorates
without exciting the general system, and tones,
regulates and controls the stomach, the bowels,
the liver and the minor secretive organs.
What this great restorative will do must be
gathered from what it has DONE The case of
dyspepsia, or any other form of indigestion in
which it has been persistently administered with
out affecting radical cure, is yet to be heard
from, and the same may be said of bilious disor-
ders. intermittent fevers nervous affections, gen.
eral debility, constipation, sick headache, men
tai disabilities to which the feeble are so subject
If nurifes all the fluids of the body, including
the blood. and the gentle stimulus which it i'm
nerts to the nervous system is not succeeded by
the slightest reaction. This is chapter of facts

CoURT-DAY.-There were not as many persons
in town yesterday as is usual upo county-court
days-owing to the fact that the farmers are bu-
silly engaged in harvesting their 1heat crops.
At II O. clock, the Court took recess, during
which Hon. Jno. Randolph TuckeIs who was in
troduced by Hon. A. II. Fl. Stuart, delivered an
address appealing to the citizens Of this County
to subscribe the sum of $4,000 to the stock of
the Valley Railroad. He wished to be able to re-
port to the citizens of Rockbridge that Augusta
hadsubscrbed that small amonnt that the voters
of RockbIidge ight vote nextweek an additional
subscription of S125 eco.
His address was pointed, practical and impress
sive, and presented clearly the advantages the
construction of that road would be to this County.
We repeat the hope SO frequently expressed by
u.s. that the citizens of this County will subscribe
at once the amount required to ensure the con-
struction of that Road
In the afternoon, in the Circuit Court the case
of Susan j Price VS.. JAS w. Engleman was
commemorative former suing the latter for a
breach of marriage contract. The witnesses for
the plaintiff were examined, when the Court
adjourned till this morning at II O'Clock.

STRIKING SPRINGs.-In a notice made
last week of the ''Stribling Springs" by mistake
of the printer, the words Virtues" and ''visi-
tors" were made to exchange places.
We would again call the attention of persons
seeking health, recreation or enjoyment to this
pleasant Summer resort. 1t is a beautiful place
and is surrounded by romantic scenery. There
is no place where families could more pleasantly
spend the warm Summer months The fare and
accommodations are good and the rates OF
charges low. The waters are highly medicinal
and consist of Sulphur, Alum, :Chalybeate and
Freestone. These Springs are only 10 miles
from this place. The present prospect for good
season is quite promising as an unusual number
of applications, so early in the Season, has al
ready been made.

ANNUAL CONCERT OF THE BLIND PUPILS
The annual concert Of vocal and instrumental
music by the blind pupils of the D. d. s. Blind
Institution, under the direction of their accom-
plished music teacher, Prof. A j. Turner, took
place in the Chapel Hall of that Institution on
Wednesday night last. That large Hall was
filed with delighted auditors, the majority of
whom were ladies'
The programme for the occasion was composed
of excellent pieces of music which were per-
formed in most admirable style. Those ac-
quainted with the difficult character of some of
the pieces-as, for instance, the Overture to
Masaniello''-cOuld not fail to be astonished at
the excellent manner in which they were per-
formed by pupils who were blind The perform
ance OF such programme, in such a manner,
by 6I1'ad pupils speaks volumes in behalf of
the care and patience as well as the capacity for
teaching, OF their Instructor. Prof Turner is
not only fine musician, but, as the proficiency
of his pupils show, possesses in high degree
the faculty of making good musicians of others
which faculty he has faithfully exercised in be-
half of the unfortunate pupils committed 70 his
charge.
by request, Miss Sue Ridenour sang, Comm
lhfo the rye" Pm saddest when I sing" and
several other songs. She is favorte Of all who
nave ever seen her sweet face and heard her an
gene voice. The universal exclamation of those
VINO hear her sing is :-'sWhat q sqpeet voioar,

singing was much enjoyed, and rapturonslv an.
plauded. All who participated in the conoor,
performed well their respective parts.
This concert was greatly enjoyed by all who
were so fortunate as to be present. On such &C.
casions, Prof Turner never fails to provide ,
rich feast for those who have any music in thei
souls. His concerts are always numerously at
tended and greatly enjoyed.
