not responsible for the views and sentiments ex-
pressed in communications, they publish great
many which they disapprove. In some cases
they do not feel authorized to decline to publish
them, though they would do SO if they would
consult alone their own feelings and views In
other cases, however, they feel authorized by
virtue of their intimate acquaintance with and
friendship for the authors to take the liberty to
decline to publish their communications when
of such character that they may get their au-

to exist between individuals. This liberty we

BAD DoG-DAYs.-For the past several days,
the police of this city have been having all the
dogs caught, and put into the pound to await
the redemption of their owners, which are found
upon the streets without having upon their necks
the medals required by the ordinance of the
Council.
The medals only cost ST. Is, but after the dogs
are captured it requires the sum of $500 to re-
lieve them and save their lives. If not reclaimed
before shutdown of the day on which they are
captured they are required by the ordinance to
be killed. This is disagreeable duty to the
police, but the efficient Chief, Mr. George W.
Plat, and his associate policemen, shrink from
none Of their official duties, however disagreed
ble-and the taking of lives of innocent dogs is
certainly duty of the most disagreeable kind.
The humane feelings of the police revolt at it,
but 1t is duty imposed upon them by the ordi-
nance, which it is their duty to enforce.
We hope that they will be spared the pain OF
having to take the lives of these innocent and
faithful animals. A man who will suffer his
dog to be killed thus, rather than reclaim him,
deserves to be serenaded by bowling dogs for q
month.
The time allowed to reclaim is too short-it
would be better to give more time and save the
lives of the dogs, and add to the revenue of the
City. When the dogs dead' he pays no rev.
enue.

DAMAGES BY THE WIND.-The strong gales
which swept like a bosom over this county or
Sunday last, did considerable damage by blow
ing down timber, fencing and in some places
uncompleted new buildings. We suppose tht
damage to the fencing is not confined to any
particular locality, but exists in greater or less
degree in all portions of the county Such is the
case in those portions from which who have
heard.
Between and II O. clock on Sunday, at Fish
ersville the new store house, with Temperance
Hall in second story, erected by Mr. Harry
Wolfe, and which was not yet completed was
blown down and wrecked At the same time
and place, the new dwelling erected by Mr.. Geo.
Schumacher, also nearly completed, was lifted up
and moved four feet from its foundation. The
timbers in this building were not damaged to a
very great extent. In the same neighborhood,
the tin roof was blown off the dwelling of Capt.
G. Benton Coner.
A great deal of the fencing in that neigh bor-
hood was prostrated-nearly every fence whose
course was transverse to that of the wind, was
blown fat.
We understand that great deal of fencing
was blown down in the neighborhood of Mount
being damaged in that neighborhood. In neigh
borhoods South of this place much fencing was
also blown down.
A correspondent furnishes the following ac-
count of the storm about Craigsville, in this
county:
1.-THE storm of Sunday did a great deal OF
damage to barns, fences fruit trees and houses.
The Messrs. j. nj. and S. B. Walsace's barn
was blown to atoms. 1t was large double log
barn. and had several head of horses in it at
the time and. strange to say, they are still in
the de bris unhurt, and will be extricated to-day
The loss of the Messrs. Wallace's will be nearly
one thousand dollars.
Mr.. David Condon's large barn was also blown
down to its very foundation. His loss will also
be very considerable
have not yet been able to learn the extent of
damage done terough this Valley, and fear the
damage done through the county will be very
severe.
Your correspondents loss will not be very
heavy, except in the way of fences blown down,
and one large old dry-goods box with hen and
nest Of eggs in it. The box was blown some dis.
lance, and very much broken to. pieces, so were
the eggs but said hen has not been heard from
since, unless it was by a gentleman mile off,
who said he thought he heard her cackling as
she went by, in hurry, on toward your City !

Two SECTIONS LET TO CoNTEAcr.-Our rea-
ders will be pleased to learn that work on the
Valley Railroad between Rarrisonburg and this
place is about to be commenced. Two sections
have been let to contractors, the 9Th and the
Goth, the former to Mr.. P. NJ. McCabe OF Mary
land, and the latter to Messrs. Kelly & OCon-
ner-of this firm the former is the Well-known
contractor who owned the Sweet Chaly beate
Springs in Allegheny county, and the latter is q
citizen of this place.
The sections on this road are numbered from
Harrisonburg, so that the 26th section is the last,
counting from Harrsonburg. Though last, it
was the first let to contract, thus verifying the
scriptural expression that ''the last shall be
first"
we suppose that other sections will soon be
let. We would like TO hear blasting reports
along the whole line. The music our people
now are anxious to hear is that of the blasted
quarry.

MisssIIansons
Seward on I'm m Ortality

One of his most intimate clerical friends
says that Governor Seward firmly believed
the doctrine of the Immortality Of the soul,
and OF its ultimate reunion with some form
OF immortalized body. after death, accord
ing to the intimations contained in st.
Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians.
1t was his manner of expressing his ideas
upon the subject to say that there was not
any real death that the life with which a
human being Is invested At his birth is an
cmanation from theDeity and is immortal ;
but the first clay body in which it is tab.
ernacle6 wears out and perishes that the
spiritual life continues to exist thence
forward in disembodied state until the
occurrence of the greatest OF all the mar.
vels, the great Consummaticn, viz, the re.
surrection and rehabilitation of the body,
its union again in some form with the life
or spirit, and the creation of a new heaven
and new earth, when man asccnds TO a
hichcr sphere of existence. Hence it wa,
his habit to speak Of death as q temporary
sleep of the body, and of the future state
so called, of the soul or spirit, as the two
| future states of existence. The first time
the Governor mentioned his views AZ length
upon this subject was at the burial, OF
Fort Hill, Of Judge Miller.
''lIis dust merely sleeps there tempor
rarily," he remarked but the Judge him
self is still alive" Then, in a measured
| and very Impressive manner he repeated
few lines from the Hymn Of Death.
"Such," he continued, sis the doctrin
the faith and hope Of the Christian re
lision. IL is the appointed destiny o
man."
In the month of June, 1866, when thu
sexton was preparing grave on Fort Hi
for Mrs. Seward, the Governor went thcr,
| in company with Baron Stockel, Genera
Hancock, and Dr. Norris, to give the re
auired directions, and sat for Ii while will
them upon rustic seat on the ground
when the Baron remarked that he was un
able TO realize the fact that Mrs. Seward
was dead.
''She is not, replied the GOvenor "sh'
still lives in the condition which the churct
styles the place ofdeparted spirits Their
is no such thing as death of the soul or life.
1t is the body alone which sleeps, and that
only for n limited but unrevealed season
So we read and so VIC believe"
THAT" returned the Baron, lis verl
comfortable reelection"
"Itis not only . cOmfortble reflection
continued the Governor, but it is the con
ISOLATION afforded by an enlightened view o
the Christian religion"
The same idea was advanced by tn,
Governor at the time of the burial by the
side of her mother OF their daughte
Frances.
