NICE MEAT-Lynham & Barton, at Stall No.
2, Market House, understand the business Of
slicing up meat They certainly exhibit their
roasts and steaks in very attractive manner
and make man feel like eating some of them,
whether he is fond of them or not.
The Lexington Gazette came to us last week
greatly enlarged, and ornamented with picture
head, representing Washington and Lee onlver-
sity and the Virginia Military Institute. The
Gazette is now one of the largest weeklies in the
State, and when Lafferty turns his head to it,
one of the best edited.
A CoMMoF1oN. comm tion was created
on the streets On Monday last, occasioned by Con-
stable, VIM Lightner, taking to jail a negro man
named William Howard living near Buffalo Gap,
charged with beating and threatening the life Of
his wife. He was committed by squire George A.
Shuey The cause of the commotion was, that the

tlemen's boots, shoes and hats Of every quality,
and bows boots, shoes and hats, ranging in prices

THE WHEAT is looking promising. The wealth
er has been remarkably fine for its growth, and
some of our farmers inform that it has never
presented a more inviting appearance at this
season of the year. Although the nights have
been cool and frosty, the sun has been genial and
fructifying. There are no indications as yet, Of
the existence of the fly.

STAR SALooN-Our friend, W. Kinney, at the
Star Saloon, on Augusta street, at the Bridge,
has opened, in connection with his house, q Res
taurant, where ne furnishes the best oysters,
served up in any desired style. His eating apart
ments have the appearance of a neatly furnished
parlor, ornamental with beautiful oil and chro
mo paintings, and presenting an air of cleanli-
ness which really gives zest to the appetite. Ev-
erything is quiet and orderly, and the host polite
and accommodating.
HANDSOME RESIDENCE What promises to be
one of the most paatial looking residences in the
city, is the new three story brick residence,
being erected by Mr. Chas. Hoge, in the western
suburbs. The site commands view of Staunton
and all of its surroundings, and when the build
is completed and the grounds improved, as it
would appear from present Indications it is the
purpose of the proprietor to do, it will be most
courtly looking suburban residence.
KANAwHA DAILY. We willingly place upon our
exchange list the Kanaa0ha Daily, published at
Kanawha C. H., the capital of West Virginia. 1t
is quite creditable publication, especially for
town not numbering 4, 900 inhabitants, neutral in
in politics. We hardly think the Daily long
maintain that position. In this age of progress
in everything, and especially of mutation in the
political events Of the day, it Is hardly possible
for a thinking man-and whoever heard of an edi-
tor who did not think ?-not to form and express
an opinion. However, we wish the Daily success
L1BERAL.-The Central M. E. Church, South
of which Rev. DR.. Munsey is pastor, has been
recently remoddled and painted, and seats cush-
ioned at a cost of S., 000 On last Sunday Dr.
Munsey announced that the church hereafter
would be free church, the congregation being
permitted to sit wherever they pleased. At the
close of his morning DISCOURSE he announced that
subscription would be taken up to meet the ex-
pense of the Improvement. In few minutes
over 5000 were subscrlb ed-mOre than enough
for the purpose contemplated.
CoMpLIMENTARY.-In the publication of the
numerous premiums awarded at our recent Fair,
ii was scarcely to be expected that perfection
could be reached in the enumeration. Among
the omissions, is one which it affords pleasure
to record and that is the premium awarded Miss
Lolita Rosenbaum, daughter of Mr.. Louis Rosen-
baum, of this city, of first premium for Wax
Flowers. The specimen the object of general
admiration, and evinccd fine artistic taste on the
part of the fair young lady
RocKsRIDGE CITIzEN.-We have received the
first number of the ' Hockbridge Citizen," pub
iished in Lexington, Va. by Messrs Morrison &
'Boude. 1t is large sized sheet, printed on en-
lire1y new type, and allied with interesting read
ing matter. Mr. Morrison has had considerable
experience in the newspaper line, having been
connected with the Gazette for some time, and in
connection with Capt Boude, will doubtless make
the Citizen an acceptable companion to the people
of Rockbridge, as well source of profit to
themselves. The number before us has live ap-
pearance, the business men of Lexington mani
Testing a commendable spirit, in giving encour
1apement by advertising, to this new enterprise.
