MARROW EscApE.-Several weeks ago,
several of the members of Noah Foltze's
family, residing near Newport, Page co. Va !,
were caught iu thunder storm. One Of the
girls, Miss Maggie took shelter under tree,
whilst the others tried to shelter themselves
under Smaller timber near by.
The lightning struck into the tree under
which Miss Foltze was standing, followed
down the tree within about Ave feet of the
ground,and then passing over to Miss
Foltze striking her. She was struck down,
her hair singed. aud one Of her sides con-
siderably benumbed. The lightning passed
from her head down to her foot ripping of

The Rockingham Conservatives have way of
their own for doing business. They have paid
no attention to the "plan" of r. T. Daniel, re-

the old style OF unrestricted mass meetingc, and

ted five delegates at large, something never heard
of before in county meeting. The gentlemen
appointed are all able men, and we hope will get

No evidences of progress and growth. and no in.
dications of activity in business meet the eye as
you quietly walk along the deserted streets. In
Charlottesville it is the same. There it looks like
a perpetual funeral. The only place you find a
stir, is at fashionable billiard table where balls
cues, whiskey, and snacks are the principal at
fractions. OF course it is very active business
with s'that' proprietor.
Lexington is in ii Ike state, Not even the
commencement of work on the railroad could
ilfuse little salaratus into the people. One Of

AN ALARM BELL.-We do not know how much
the Stanton Dramatic Association Companyre-
allied towards purchasing an Alarm Bell for The
Augusta Fire Company. It looks rather badly,
however, that they are compelled to resort TO
such expedients to get the proper equipments for
the Fire Company. That organization is compo-
sed of rome of the most fearless and daring young
men, who serve without pay. They are not gen.
orally property owners, and inasmuch as the sole
object is to preserve and protect property in case
of fire, and their labors are given gratuitously
think it is about little as the city could do to
furnish them with every needed article that may
contribute to their efficiency. An alarm bell is very
essential and if one has not already been procured
we suggest that the city council take the matter
in hand and furnish it. The cost will not be
much, and will be equally borne by the people
whose property these young men may q: one
time be called upon to risk their ives in protee-
ting.
