APPEAL FOR THE MEMORIAL FAIR-The La
dies of Staunton intend to hold Fair on the
thirtieth. and thirty-frst of October, and first
day of November. for the purpose of putting in
order the Confederate Soldiers Cemetery, and
marking the graves. The Cemetery at present
is in a very neglected condition, and the graves
have never been designated. All who sympa-
thised with the cause which these brave men
died in maintaining, will readily admit that
those who survive, owe this tribute to their
memory, and that we will be false to ourselves
and to them if it be not paid. The long-delayed
debt of gratitude must be disch arged now, else
there is but little hope that it ever will be.
We intend to do all we can in this matter, and
we appeal to our sister-women of Augusta to
help us in any manner they see fit. We appeal
also to the men of Augusta, so many of whom
and SO many of whose sons and brothers fought
side by side with our lamented dead, to aid US
in doing honor to their memory.
Fancy articles will be thankfully received,
but especially do we ask contributions OF pro-
visions for the Dinners and Suppers which we
intend having during the Fair. Hams, poultry
butter, eggs, fruits and in short. edibles OF all
sorts will be most acceptable, and may be left
for us on Oourt-day October 28th) at the stores
of John B. Hoge and Charles G. Wheat, or at
any time before the Fair, as may be most conve-
nient to the donors. Weappeal to all to give ac-
cording to their ability, and where much cannot
be given, not to be ashamed Of the smallness of
the gift, as every little will help. Mrs. Hender-
son NJ Bell is the lady President Of the Fair,
and Mrs Jed. Hotchkiss and Mrs. j. @. Marquis
are the Vice Presidents. Our friends may rest
assured that their contributions will be judicious
~ used, and that the funds, when raised will be
properly spent in marking and putting in order
the grave of the sixteen hundred soldiers, in be-
half of whom this appeal is made.

RoGUEs AT WoRK.-The rogues about here
seem to have gone to work in their vocation
within the past few weeks with zeal and indus
try worthy of better cause. The same amount
of industry devoted to honest labor would secure
them an honest livelihood.
On Thursday night last, some rogue entered
the back window Of the store of Mr.. VIM. 81.
German and stole money in Specie and Green
backs amounting to about $50, Nothing else
has been missed, as yet, though other things
might have been stolen.
On the same night, Mr.. Henry Harrison, liv-
ing several miles from this place, was robbed
we learn, of several hundred pounds of bacon.
On former night. they broke into his spring
house. The neigh borhood in which Mr.. Harri-
son lives, has been the theatre.of much nocturnal
prowling during the past few weeks. Scarcely
night passes but some out. house is entered, and
milk, butter, chickens or meat taken away.
On Friday night, Mrs. Lancaster. living on
Frederick street, was robbed of some lard a
shoulder of bacon, and other things.
On the same night several smaller thefts were
perpetrated upon other citizens,
Have we these rogues among us who are FOL
lowing the example of those in Harrisonburg, or
have the rogues from that place made araid up
on this community? Whether they belong to
that or this community they should be caught
and punished.

AN AssAULT.-We learn that, on Wednesday
evening last as MIR. Pleasant M Dice, who
lives in the neighborhood of Burkes Mil in this
county, was driving to his home some cattle
which he had had in the mountains and had
reached the neighborhood of Mt, Scion, he was
met by Mr. VIM Wooddell, constable who, af-
ter a few words were interchanged between the
parties, made an assault upon Mr.. Dice with q
pistol He discharged his pistol twice, after
which he struck Mr.. Dice over the eye with the
pistol making considerable cash. We do not
know whether he fired the pistol with the pur-
pose of shooting Mr. Dice or not. The presurnp-
ton is that he was so much under the influence
of spirits that he did not know what he was do
ing, as we understand the parties were strangers
to each other, and that offence, justifying
such an assault, had been given.
LEGERDEMAIN.-Prof. j. FL. Anderson, the
Illusionist, assisted by his wife, exhibited his
tricks of legerdemain in the Fown-hall in this
place on Thursday Friday and Saturday nights
of last week. The Hall was filed on each occa-
sion, and the spectators seemed to enjoy tho ex-
hibitions very much. A number of gifts were
given away each night to those who happened

Saturday night by Mr. = Dabney of this
place. The announcement that $40 in Green
backs would be given away on that night was
not complied with. These gift enterprises APP
peal to the gambling propensities, which seem to
have strong hold upon the human heart.

NEWSPAPER CHANGE.-The last Vindscato7
contains the announcement that Mr.. VIM. IL. 81.
Lynn, formerly the sole Editor & Proprietor. has
sold an interest in that journal to MI. e. @. Tins
ley of Richmond, who has thereby become one
of the Editors and Proprietors. Mr.. Tinsley has
been connected with the Press Of Richmond, and
was for several years the Richmond agent of the
N. Y. Associated Press. His experience and
talents will enable him to add increased interest
to that journal, which was before very good
one under the sole conduct of Mr.. Lynn. We
congratulate Mr.. Lynn on the acquisition of such
competent associate, and welcome Mr.. Tinsley
to the Editorial corps of Staunton, and extend
to him with cordially the re- of friendship.

TEMPERANCE ADDRESS AT Mt. CRAWFORD
On Saturday evening last, Mr.. s. N. Miller, OF
this place, delivered an address on temperance
in the M. E. Church at Mt. Crawford to large
intelligent and appreciatiye audience. At the
conclusion of the address, applications for q
Charter for Lodge of Good Templars were dis
tributed among the audience, but, owing to the
''cold shoulder the Friends of Temperance
gave the enterprise, they were not enabled to
get sufficient number of persons to sign an ap-
plication for Charter. They confidently hope
that at no distant day, they may be enabled to
raise Lodge of Good Templars at that place.

Next morning she was found alone, and
dead. My wife told her had gone to
California but she never thought OF
writing until Barker started for the
mines, when, belle wing that circum-
stances might bring me in contact with
my own child, without knowing 1t,
she thought best to venture letter on
the chance of finding me If still alive.
1t was addressed to San Francisco, and
sent to me by friend of earlier time,
who was also a wanderer in the country

Barker, whom / already know that
he was the head Of the family VIII ere
my child had been left.
Next year, in 80, when the family
arrived, l framed an excuse TO go below

own daughter.
"Ah, boys" drawing a deep breath,
sit was hard work TO keep from taking
the little one in my arms; but you can
imagine my delight when she took TO

During the after years, while she
was growing toward womanhood, my
resolution to hold the secret of her
parentage failed in power with every
day. One evening, two years ago, I
told her, and since then have been a
happy man, until the day when the
Johnsons coupled her name with in

Little other testimony was taken.
The prosecuting Attorney had lost in

The jury was out only long enough to

free air once more, that l should go and
tell Dawn how and why the trial ter

between delight and sorrow.
On the watch, for a messenger with
