Mrs. Lucy O. Loker, wife of J. R. Loker, and
eldest daughter of Capt J. B. Finks, of Waynes-
boro', Augusta county, Va.
The deceased spent the greater portion of her
young life in Warrenton, Va, in the family of
her uncle John W. Finks, and was well known
to large CIRCLE Of friends here, who will be
shocked to learn that she who was only few
months since led to the Hymenial altar happy
bride, has been borne to the silent tomb by weep
ing mourners. Mrs. Loker was amIable, cult
waited and pious lady, making pleasing impress
sion upon every one with whom she came in con-
tact. She had been a member of the Presbyte-
rian CHURCH for several years and lived fully up
to her religious professions. Although the sum-
mons came to her in an nneXpected moment,
there is every reason to believe from her cpHsis-
tent Christian life that she was fully prepared to
go hence, and that our loss has proved her eter-
nal gain Warrenton Index.

FIRE On Wednesday morning last the En-
CINE House of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad,
in this City, and four fine engines were de-
stroyed by FIRE. The fire broke out about 2 A.
NJ, and from the locality in the Engine House
it can scarcely be attributed to sparks from the
engine. The alarm was promptly given, and
although Engineer Hilbert was at his post with
his Steam Fire Engine, there being no organized
fire company, it was with difficulty he could, by
calling on Fassers by getit to the scene of the fire
and when there, no ore was present to work it.
The fire had attained such heaGEay before the
steamer arrived that it would have been ialpas-
sible to subdue it. Four fine Railroad engines
were kdestroyed, there being no possibility,
though it Was attempted, to run them out. The
loss to the R. R. Company is some $4,000 OF
$4,000, and we could not learn whether any
portion was covered by insu rance.
This is realizs ton of what we have several
times called attention to. The present Council,
determining to name the Commander of Com
pany of men, who were emily volunteers, COM
pletely broke up the only Firs Company here
and one which had done good service in past
years. We demanded, for the sake Of the prop
erty q our citizens. that the difficulty should be
harmonized, KIT the Council were persistent
and the result Of tsle first fire is against
their policy. We again demand that they allow
the Augusta Fire Company to organize pRqer
their Gym officers or bear the burden Of blame
for future Disasters sure to follow.
In justice to a number of the old Company
who were on baud, we state, that while debarred
from working the Steamer, they worked man
fully with buckets to save adjacent property,
one OF which was the warehouse of Capt. Geo.
E. Price. in which was stored number of kegs
Of powder.
The night was remarkably still or the add.
tionsl destruction Ct property must have been
much greater

1sIT THE WRONG Ox2-A great deal of desire has
been exhibited, for several years, by the people
diving on New Street, for the improvement of
that Street, and finally the Council made small
appropriation for pavement, without curbing,
having rescinded the order fc~ grading &C.. on &C.
count of want of funds. We learn, however,
that Short sine since, without any application
therefor, the SGreet Committee recommended a
'curbed pavement ca the Eastern side of Angus
ia Street from Catholic Church to Gordon's cor
ner, at cost of So, 900, aad the Council adopted
the recommendation, and, tc compromise the
pavement question on New Street, determined
to make a curbad pavement from Miss BaidWin's
Seminary to the residence of Mr.. John Price,
leaving large numbes to wade in the mud, in
wet weather, to reach the pavement.
The Street Committee proceed to tape-line Au-
gnsta Street and find Markwood's stone-wall
Utley's and Ceases porches and Fuller's fence
ON the Street, and, the Council having ordered
the Ordinance concerning distractions to be
rigidly enforced, notify these gentlemen to re-.
move them. They don't like this ans kick in
traces. "A prominent Councilman expostulates
and tells them the advantages of pavement far
exceeds the damage. They still object and the
services Of an engineer, Col. Liliey, is secured
and the lines gun accurately, when 10 and be-
hold'l the line OF the Western side is found to
run into the lot of GoRncilman Evans, taking of
D feet at one end and about feet at the other,
and the singular discovery il made that Col.
Lilley is NO engineer. The wrong OF seems to
be gored. The question is, will the Street be
Strengthened, and will the same argument apply
which was used by Councilman Evans to one
who was ordered to straightaP on tother side :?

A REMARKABLE GROWTH,

Old Friend Vindicator If you will permit
me space in your columns and allow me to in
Gert few words, in them will, as an eye wit
ness, endeavor to give YOU an account of one of
the most thrifty growths that ever saw or heard
of Mr.. Joseph N. Burns, Esq, of Bath county,
Va, in the Spring of 1868, planted sweet
Cherry seed in his garden, which came up and
grew very rapidly. The Winter of 1869 being
very cold, there was some four feet of the top
of the sprout frozen and died, which he cut off,
but the remaining stob sprouted out and still
continued to grow. In company with another
gentleman, few days since, l went to the
trouble to measure it, and very much to our sur
prise it went far beyond the estimation of all
present. 1t measured, in height, nineteen feet
inches ana in culn9!fsrenee at the top of the
ground, seventeen inches. II had good many
cherries on this Summer, and if there is any Of
our sister counties that has any four year old Of
any kind that will excel this, we would like
them to reply through the columns of our old
household friend, the VINDIeAFoR, which is al
ways glad to receive any thing that is new and
interesting. A READER.

wing, three stories and half high, including
the entire block between the New Court House
street, Court House Alley, and New street, and
including also the cellars under the new build
ing called the ''Piper building"
The Hotel buildings contain one hundred rooms
seventy-seven (77) of which are used as cham
bers for guests, besides five large and convenient
rooms for Stores, Express Office, &C., on the first

tlated and has connected with it a convenient
Pantry and Store-room, aud also Bake house.
The Parlors are handsome, airy and commodi-
ous and the whole house is supplied with gas
and water throughout.
This property has been long known as the
most valuable and complete Hotel property in
the Valley of Virginia, and its value will be
greatly increased, as the various railroads are
completed, which converge at Staunton, and
which will make it the great railroad centre of
the State.
Besides the Hotel property, thus described,
most valuable corner building lot, opposite the
Virginia Hotel, corner of New street and New
Court House street: also
The extensive stables and stable lot, known as
the ''Virginia Hotel Stables" also large lot of
land on the South side of the Chesapeake and

G2)eligibly located building lots, but which
will all be sold together, also
LARGE and VerV fertile garden lot. the hill
opposite the grounds of the Western Lunatic
Asylum, containing upwards of an acre, and
very valuable.
There will also be sold several other valuable
lots in the city, the demand for which is rapidly
increasing.
There has been no such sale of valuable city
property made in Stanton for many years, and
rare chance is offered for profitable and safe
investment in this thriving and rapidly growing
mountain city.
Plats and plans of the whole property may be
ton.
TERMs.-Cash in hand sufficient to pay the I'M
paid costs of suit, and the expenses of the sale,

We were PANIED to learn the death Of Geo. A.
Bagby, of this place, at Salt Sulphur Springs,
on the 18th inst, at the age Of "a. Being deli
cate, at the suggestion of friends, he took posi-
ton at these Springs and it was hoped he would
recuperate, but the fell destroyer came and the
summons was answered. Having for some time
worked in cur office, and knowing him well, we
felt almost as if one of our own household was

F1RE.-In his annual message to the City
Council on the LIST of July last, the Mayor says
'There is subject of trying moment to which
will only allude, knowing that it has been
gravely considered in your Council: it is the
imperative necessity of having an efficient and
reliable fire department without longer postpone
ment. Providence has kept US secure from the
terrible element for a long season, but we know
not at what hour the dreaded fire knell may
summon US to witness, it may be, our own
houses wrapped in flames, and to find the fire
apparatus unnamed, and unskilled and undis-
ciplined men standing by anxious butunable to
render succor."
The exhibition at the fire, few nights ago, is
another and deeply impressive appeal to our
City governors to re-instate the very efficient
Company land that without pay they found in
charge, or create a superior one.
