TIE WoRsr CASH OF Ep1zoorIc.-The very
worst case of epizootic that occurred ia Staun-
ton was that near the Valley Bank. The ''boys"
thought it was good joke to take saddler's
wooden horse out, and tie it to lamp-pest, and
put blanket on its little back, and red flannel
around its little legs, and send for vetinary
surgeon. And then the boys posted themselves
around the corner to q witness the effect" The
surgeon came in some haste and looked at the
animal. He seemed to be deeply affected, and
calculating & short prayer stepped around The
corner and came back with \ fence rail. He
took his seat in the shop door to wait and teach
the boys how to lead better life The boys are
now taking vote upon a proposition to tunnel
him with shot gun if he don't 60 home.

SPEAKING AT KING WILLIAM
COURT-HOtTsE.- Messrs. S-ner and Brax
ton, Republican and Greeley candidates
for Congress in the First district, engaged
in a Joint discussion at King William Court
house yesterday afternoon, after the
adjournment of the court. 1t was evident
that the Greeleyitcs dreaded the contest, as
they resorted to various expedients to break
up the meeting, or at least to intimidate a
portion of the Republicans who wished to
listen to the speakers. Some white Gree.
leyites raised row with some colored men
outside of the building, and appeals were
then made to the judge to. dispense the
whole crowd.
The purpose of these men seemed to be to
prevent the speaking entirely, or to get rid
Of a portion of the Republicans who were
present. Through the earnest interces-
sions of Mr.. Sener and other Republicans,
however, the speaking was allowed to pro-
coed. Mr.. Braxton, we are informed, de.
voted his precious time to the past record
of our candidate, and scarcely even touched
upon any of the vital questions Of the day.
After Mr.. Sener had taken the stand, how.
ever, the Greeley candidate began to real.
lze the fact that it is bad policy for those
who live in glass houses to throw stones
He was handled without gloves, and will
probably remember the drubbing as lons
as he lives. Mr.. Sener is said TO hav'
made a very powerful speech, which had
good effect upon the audience.
