Fire Buckets, ordered by the Town Council
to be added - the FIRE apparatus of the town.
were received by Maj. Jas. Law Hoof on
Saturday last, and will be placed in the hands
of the Fire Company to enable it to render
more efficient service in the future thae it has
had the power to do heretofore. Blythe way,
it has been suegested-;f it has not been al
ready done-that remission of the corpora
ton head tax upon members of our Fire Com
pany, as is tie case elsewhere, would be an
advisable move towards keeping that organi-
cation up to good standard If men give
their services to the community in this i'm

How To BUILD UP TowN.-The town
of Staunton, the growing city of the great
Valley of Virginia. has improved faster and
increased her dimensions and population since
the war to greater extent than any other in
the State. At that time she claimed pop>
ulation of 3, 500, and now she boasts of 5000
to I 1000, or about double in the brief period
that has elapscd-eigh, years. In answer to
the question what has caused this prosperity, a
correspondent of the Charleston Courier,
writing-under date of December 10Th, 1878,
gives some of the reasons, which we COM
mend to the consideration of the citizens of
CharleStown. lie says: "Perhaps the main
chanoel, through which money has poured
into this small city the large female
schools There are no less than Eve sch OILS,
and some Of them have almost a national rep
utation and have we'll sustained it for some
years past AT three Of these schools, there
are about six hundred young ladies from dis
lance and estimating (the estimate is far
less than those 'rho haze to pay would put it)
each to speud $500 in the Community we may
well see how the whole city is flooded with
