DEATH OF A VALUABLE CITIZEN There has
~aeMer been been more genuine feeling shown in
>Staunton, than that evinced at the death of Mr..
Alexander Fl. Taylor, who died on Monday
morning, aged 81 years. Mr.. Taylor was ma
tive of Lexington and came to this city about 30
years ago to enter the dry goods business with
Mr.. Armistsad Mosby, whose daughter he mar
ried. The firm of Mosby Il Taylor was one of
the most prominent in the city, until the death
,pf the senior partner. Hensensibly gained such
"a hold on this co mmunity as few men ever OBJ
ttained. The purity of his life, his charity and
t:hat honesty which became aproverb among the
Ereople, gained the absolute confidence and gen.
efal love of his fellow men. He was an elder in
til f.. Presbyterian church, and in speaking of him
in tina relation Rev. Mr.. Baker, his pastor said
that the text of his funeral sermon was applica-

Ghost, and of fai,th." The body of the large

The HORSE DIsRAsa.-The horse q iSease is dy-
ing out and the streets are again becon ing alive
with teams-that Is on dry days. but on wet
ones, 1t is pleasant to write, owners are car sfnl
and merciful enough to keep their horses fro 70
exposure. Since our last report, Col NJ. G.
Hartman lost valuable horse, and Mr. J. Mellon,
at West View, lost asother. The general report
OF the farmers is that, from their experience, the
best way to treat the disease is to stop working
the animal, let him run out, feed we'll and give
no medicine. Treated that way they get well
and tit for work much quicker than those that
ARE blanketed and carefully stabbed.
The firm of A. W. Hartman & Co., contractors
on the Valley Railroad, whose horses failed, i'm
pressed all the horned cattle, except COWS, they
could get and have done very well, the steers
soon learning to back up and dump load as
we'll as mule.

calls out the Augusta Fire Company to join the
Hook and Ladder Co., in the reception of their
