EDUCATION IN HARRIsoNBJRG.-We are glad 10
see that number Of tho prominent citizens OF
Harrisonburg, are taking the intiatory steps to
have first class male school in Harrisonburg -
I've never could understand why Furnishing
school has never been established at that place.
Rockingham is Of the most populous and
wealthy counties in the State and should of itself
furnish schclars enough to Ibuil9 up prosper
Gus and paying ACADEMY. We earnestly hope
the present effort will be crowned with sue
cess, and that school of which the town and
county may feel proud will be established
There is no good reason why it should not be so,
and we believe the desired end will be accom-
slished from the character Of TIE men who have
fakon hold Of the matter

LoUDoN CHEESE FAcToRY.-The agent of this
enterprise is filing large orders for cheese man
ufactured at the new cheese factory at Hamilton,
from Richmond, Lyncbburg, and Fredericksburg,
We cannot see why of our enerprising
farmers do OF establish similar factories in this
county. They will delay and postpone until
more active and energetic men from distance
fill the opening and reap the benefits. 1t seems
that our people afraid to risk. or repose con-
fdence in themselves. All that is wanting Is
the ,oM Everything else is in their hands. Who
will be he first to inausurate the enterprise?

SOUTHERN SOLDIERS OF 19l2.-The ruling has
been so far changed by the Commissioner Of Pen
sions, in regard to the proof necessary to estab-
lsh the claims for pensions of Southern Sol
diers of the war 1872 as to require the certificate
of an officer of a United States Court, a United
States commissioner, an assessor, collector, depu-
y collector or supervisor Of internal revenue, or
postmaster showing to the satisfaction OF the pen
sion Office that the witnesses who testify to the
LOYALTY of " claimant of undoubted character,
and entitled to full faith and credit Still, with
all this the ORDER is burdensome and unjus and
cannot fail to tend to great embarrassment to these
old soldiers.

ARREsTED-W W. Warner, who has been do
ing business for patent medicine firm, at New
port, in Augusta county, as travelling agent, was
arrested in Ha2rrisonburg, last Saturday, by
Deputy U. S. Marshal jos. S. Ef1in ger, and de-
D. w. Frabe, of Baltimore, the latter of whom
has been looking out for Warner for sometime
He was examined before U. S. Commissioner,
W. J. Points, and sent on for Indictment, but after
representations by the'prisoner, new hearing was
granted, which is set for Thursday the 10th, TO-
day. He was remanded to Jail, in default Of
So. GOO bail. He was represented by Col. c. I.
0Farrel and Capt. John Paul, as counsel.
We understand that Warner had passed two
$40 bills on Mr.. Peter Byery, of Mt. Crawford,
and several other bills in Harrisonburg. of the
same denomination. He had on his person. when
arrested, $l20 of spurious greenbacks. Warner
originally from Delaware.
Destructive -SToRM.-Ole of the mos
destructive hail storms that ever visited the Val
ley of Virginia, passed over portions of Rock
ingham, on last Friday week. 1t reached from
six miles below Harrisonburg to the vicinity of
kew Market, passing east and west, and from
mountain to mountain The hail stones in many
places were AS large as hullei walnuts, and were
very destructive, killing calves pigs, sheep, chick
ems turkeys bbits, and evenfsh. One gent emen
living in the Brush country, had three calves
killed person picked up as high as 200 birds
in field. another gathered several bushels of
fish along Linyill's Creek, which were left dead
on the banks, after the swollen stream had sub
sided. AT one place on the farm Of the Messrs.
Rhinehart near Linvl Depot, the hail was eight
feet deep-a drift, we suppose Trees were
bio Hn down, fences scattered and window glass
shivered in the entire course of the storm. The
corn CROP on a number of farms, was severely
damaged. and in some instances almost totally
destroyed.
REPORTED MURDER.-Parties who visited the
Camp meeting Mothers Caye on last Sun
day, report that man named Bailey was killed
near the grounds on Saturday last, by a person
named Bunch. 1t seems that Bailey had whip
ped Bunchs father the day previous These
two met at the Camp ground Saturday, when
Bailey proposed 10 do the same thing for the son.
In the attempt q whiskey bottle was freely
used as shelalaE. Bunch got hold OF it,
and striking Bailey on the neck with 1t, cut an

Gas BuRNING AND NENrLATIoN.-Gas.b bur-
ners in church, theatres, etc, generate
great deal of heat which should be carried
of by all means, not TO Gil the house with
carbonic acid and hot ar produced by the
chandeliers. The opera-house in Vienna,
which has 5000 gas-burners, disposes OF the
heat, ETC.; by arranging the gasaliers along
the outer edge of the galleries, and pacing
venlilator, above each burner. This
funnel shaped ventilator, by pipe, eommu-
nicates with an upright shalt, into which
several other burners discharge. The up
ward draught OF hot air is so strong that one
vertical hue serves for many burners. The
rapid cotinued removal of hot air draws II
pure cold air, and the comfort Of the audi
ence, with the most crowded house, is per-
feet. Clusters Of gas-lights near the ceiling
should always have an aperture above. SO
that the heat may escape. When the Gins
tiers are properly arranged they assist ma
terially in the work Of ventilation. Gas
turned down till it burns blue will cause {
current of air upward and out through the
ceiling, thus assisting ventilation material!
in hot weather.
