"RouSp RopB1N HOOPS Barn. brief com
munication in tosday's Viyfnian gives US the
surprising information that numbers Of delegates
from West Va. will pass Stanton on Saturday
next, en- route to Charleston. the capital of that
State. They either have to avail themselves Of
this route by rail; ortravel several hundred miles
/ on horseback, over mud roads, through noun
tains, across streams frequently greatly swollen,
and then sell their animals on reaching their des
nation at a nominal price, or give them away
There is another route for these unfortunate SER
wants of the people to get to the capital of their
State, and that is by way of Columbus, Ohio!-
We certainly feel sorry for any man who is com
peiledto represent his constituents in the Legis
lature of West Va. from the northern and north
eastern counties. They are genuine subjects Of
commiseration, and we hope our people will show
their sympathy for them by presenting them
selves en- masse on Saturday next at 9sthe depot

saml J. Price, formally of Harrisonburg, was
recently arrested in Alexandria, and lodged in
Jail, on charge of forgery. 1t seems that sew
eral years,-ago, he was about Alexandria and
Washington III the capacity Of newspaper man.
He made the acquaintance of Rev. Father Kroes,
of st. AIary's church, Alexandria, and represent

Price of Missouri, had draft cashed on a ST..
Louis bank for $500 by Mr.. Kroes. He propos-
ed to enter his '.brother' at the Catholic school,
and only took 500, the other three hundred to
be retained as tuition fees Sc The draft was
shortly returned. marked .forged" Mr.. Kroes
refused to prosecute the off nder Recently Price
had been about Alexandria, selling patent gas
burners, and was recognized by the police, full
ly identified and lodged in Jail.
Later intelligence informs us hat Price had
introduced to identify him as the person alleged
to have Committed the forgery. Father Kroes,
the chief of police and other witnesses were ex-
amned, but neither Of hem could commit the &C.

The PooR.-The season is fast approaching
when the chilling blasts Of winter will cause
many to sufferer for the necessary comforts Of
life. We call attention to this fact now, in order
that some provision may be made in time to meet
the exigeneies that are sure to exist. The char
table association of ladies in Staunton, which
has in past winters contribute ed so much to the
alienation of the wants Of this class of our eff
zens we hope has not entirely abandoned its
christian work There unfortunately per-
sons in midst, like in all communities, whose
circumstances are SO reduced as to make it i'm.
possible for them to live comfortable without ail

posed to be placed in the pauper lists. These
persons would make their necessities known t.
lady visitors connected with an association sucl
as has heretofore existed here, when they would
not be inclined to state their condition to the Of
hcer Of the city. Let Indies, whose heart
beat responsive to the needs Of such, hunt them
up, an unosteniateousy distribute to their re
lief. There are but few of US who cannot spare
something, and the aggregate accumulated b.
small contributions would accomplish much good
