The Norfolk Journal asks: "Why
refuse to support Greeley in preference to
Grant ?p We can give the Yankees ready
answer: Why refuse to support Grant
preference to Greeley?
"A colored man was fined S10.a few
days ago, in Rockbridge, for shooting a
partridge out of season. Rather dear game,
we should think. The incident should
cause all Nimrods to post themselves as to
the provisions of the game law. i!a
d The Fredericksburg Ledger has the
following interesting stock item: SAT a
public sale Of some improved cattle on
Tuesday, two pure Alderny heifers, one
year old, brought $50 each, and bull calf,
of the same breed, five months old, brought
$50. Yearlings of common stock, brought
at the same sale from So to $40, and calves,
common stock, from So to So. This is the
best argument we have seen in favor of
raising imported breeds of CATTLE" sr
The Shenandoah Herald tells the fol-
lowing sad story: !" On Saturday last the
inhabitants of this borough witnessed a very
extraordinary and sad funeral. Three gene
rations, a grandmother, mother and a baby
We're inferred together. The first of these,
Mrs. Hunsieker, was attending one of her
daughters, who was laid up with smallpox,
until nearly recovered, when she was taken
i'll. Oyerpowered by fatigue and care, the
old woman could not face the complaint,
and the fourth day she fell victim
to it. She was the mother of six
children, and had the rare fortune to see
them all growing up and satisfactorily
settled in life. She had twenty-one grand
children, eighteen of whom are alive. The
very day Mrs. Hunsicker was taken sick,
her daughter, Mrs. Seelbach, was also laid
up, and survived her mother only sixteen
hours. She leaves a grieyed husband and
three young children; the fourth was still
born during the illness, and buried with the
mother" ..'lte @.an
-" Vindex,o an intelligent correspon-
dent of the Baltimore American, writing
from Woodstock, Shenandoah county, takes
the trouble to correct some erroneous state
ments of the correspondent of the Sun, and
continues: Nov would say that | am
a resident of the town Of Woodstock, and
| the county of Shenandoah, and so far as
the status of the Republican party Of this
| town and county are concerned, know OF
but one man who has acted with the Re-
publican party who has declared in favor of
Horace Greeley, and that is one G. Rye,
who was former Treasurer of the State,
and for official considerations went over
horse, foot and dragon to the Conservative
party. The converts to Greeleyism are all
| from that side of the house, converted De-
mocrats, not Republicans. And / speak
from good authority when l say that re-
spectacle number of Democrats in this
county will vote for Grant. Out of 300 or 400
white Republicans in this county, one goes
for Greeley, the rest for Grant and Wilson
in company with many former Democrats.
No reliance can be placed upon such squibs
as the one referred to.
