FATAL FIRE AT CALLAHAN's.-On
Tuesday morning last, about 2 O'Clock, the
old hotel at Callahan's, the famous stage
station Of other days, situated in Allie
ghany county, one mile from the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Railroad was destroyed by
fire. The property had been purchased
and occupied by Viscount Melton, of Eng
land, (who lately resided at the Tate man
sion in Staunton), with his family consist
of his Viscountess, Mr.. Sidney T. Beau
clerk, her brother, the Misses Beauclerk,
DR.. Meller, the family physician, and the
children of the family. The Viscount and
family had just returned from visit to
England Monday evening. About O'Clock
in the morning, white nurse, named
Eliza James, discovered that the house was
on fire and attempted to make her way to
the apartment of her mistress to awaken
her, but it is supposed the smoke was SO
dense that she fell on the way. Another
nurse lighted match and went through
the dense smoke and awakened the family.
The building being an old one the flames
spread SO rapidly that the inmates barely
escaped in their night apparel. A man
servant went back to the rescue Of the girl
James, and cropping around the room felt
her body but the floor fell in at that mo-
ment and she was consumed in the flames.
The family then walked through the snow
nearly mile to a neighboring house. The
building was entirely consumed. Lady
Melton and her brother and the Misses
Beauclerk arrived in Staunton yesterday
morning, and are stopping at the American
Hotel. It is understood that the Viscount
is negotiating for the purchase or lease
of handsome and well known mansion in
the Eastern part of Beverly street where
he proposes to reside. The building at
Galatians was insured with Capt. Geo.
Jackson, the Insurance agent for $4,000 in
the New Orleans & Great Western Com
pany, and $1,000 in the Old Dominion of
Richmond.

SHOCKING DEATH OF CH1LDREN.-On

SHOCKING DEATH OF CHILDREN.-Oa
Monday night last, near Lindsy's Turnout,
in Albemarle county, two colored chllaren
were frozen to death and third so badly
frozen that it is not expected to live. IL
seems that the mother and father OF the
children had separated in a quarrel and lett
the three little ones in their cabin to take
care of themselves. A nephew of the wife
took care of the children two or three days
but finding it more then he could do start
ed them Monday evening about dark to go
their mother who was living about three
miles aways. He carried them in sight OF
the mothers house and starting them to-
wards it alone, turned back. The next
morning the three were found near where
he had left them, huddled together, two of
them frozen dead and the third almost in
a dying condition. An inquest will inves..
tigate the matter, and the parents will
probably be arrested.

THE STORY OF ELISHA.

very much. Not that mind being called
names, for editors of newspapers soon get
used to all that, but because you remind
me of dreadful occurrence so much like
it. If you are good children and go to
Sunday School you know all about it, but
if you are not will tell it to you. Many
years ago there was an old gentleman ma
med Elisha, who was highly respected by
his neighbors for his many good qualities,
but one of these wasn't full head of hair,
which he didn't have. Well, this good old
man one day took his cane and his UNI
brella and started out for walk on a
mountain and some wicked children, who
were hulling chinquapins, went for him
with many taunts about the airy condition
of his scalp, and sneeringly asked him why
he didn't get bottle of hair restorer.-
Then some bears in the bushes, who had
stood it as long as any bears could be ex-
pected to stand it, came out and eat these
wicked children up. They didn't take
even bite out of Elisha, from which it
was suspected that it was a put up job be-
tween him and the bears to get the chill
dren into trouble. But that's Of no con-
sequence. There were forty-two of them
all girls. The affair created considerable
excitement at the time, as remember,
and there wasn't child that slept soundly
for weeks after without covering up it's
head. All this was before you were born,
dear children, but no good has ever come,
to this day, from girls saucing an old man,
even if he is a newspaper editor. q

AN EDITOR THAT CAN'T Play VI
Mr.. Editor How could you write that
piece about our soiree? It's very hard
for we girls to do our best and then be
talked about that way.
If you knew anything about music, it
would be different, but you don't. There

more and can't play better than you can
not one. Then what makes you talk that
way? -,s..5

Dear Mr.. Lynn Whist does that horrid
old man mean by talking about our play
like he did? Can he speak French? If he
can he wouldn't have written that, and if
he can't it was very impudent for him to
write anything. What
did he mean by "tag?" He's
an old tag himself-that's what he is.
