five or six miles east of Harrisonburg, in the
neighborhood. of Cross Keys committed sui
eide, by shooting himself with a gun in the
stomach, causing instant death. He had been
in the harvest field during the day and coming to
his house in the evening, wrote note, Civ
ing some directions as to the management OF
his funeral, &C., and then took his gun, walked
a short distance from his residence, and placing
the muzzle of the gun to his stomach, fired the
fatal shot. He was aged about 50 years. No

that his mind had been affected by some i'm
portant litigation in which he was interested,
and the pressure OF business responsibilities he
had assumed in a fduciary capacity. r

AssIGNED.-We noticed several weeks since
the appointment by the President OF DR.. Lucien
E. Heneberger, of Harrisonburg, to the posi-
ton Of Assistant Surgeon in the Navy, and the
confirmation of the nomination by the Senate.
Last week, DR.. Heneberger, received orders to
report at San Francisco, California, and left
for that destination on the Sth. We think it is
quite likely the DR.. will not remain very long
at that very desi2ble harbor, but his, designa,
ton for that post was simply the first introduce
ton to cruise to the Celestial Empire. 1t is
not generally the case shat young men, just
entering the service, are permitted to remain
long at such an attractive point as San Francis
CO. However, wherever his duties may call
him, he will reflect no discredit on himself, the
government or his county. ~,..

I VIBRATING regret to state that several in
telligent farmers OF this county have informed
lis that the wheat crop in some sections OF the
county will be very short. The milk weevel
has operated very disastrously upon it, and
W lere an abundant yield was anticipated, on
many farms it will not be half crop. A gen.
on Middle River. and had out so acres in wheat,
is satisfied he will not make over 500 bushels.
Another gentleman who calculated few weeks
ago, on 1000 bushels, informed as he would
not make over 400. These are unpleasant
statements, and we only regret that there is too
much truth in them. It seems that the smooth
wheat, and especially the white, has been very
much damaged.

SMART EINANCIERLYG

On the 18th of March q case was tried in the
vico Chancellor's Court, London, which throws q
fine light upon the manner IN which certain
things are done in London. In the latter part oil
ISL an American gentleman, Mr.. Ashbury Har
pending, came to England for the purpose OF sell
ing certain mines in Nevada He called thess
treasures ''the Mineral Hill Mines" and he rep
resented that they were so rich that more thar
f2O 900 worth of silver ore laid on the top Of the
ground.
A Mr. F. Doulton introduced Mr.. Harpending
to Mr.. Albert Grant-he who now is Baron Grant,
NJ. P. for Kidderminster, and lord Of Leicester
square. Mr.. Grant agreed to do the business,
and he formed o company called the California
Mining Company, with o nominal capital OF
e., 900 900. But the only shareholders and d.
rectors in this company were seven clerks in the
employment of Mr.. Grant. One was the presi.
dent another the secretary, third the treasurer,
and the other four were directors.
This company was duly registered, and on the
18th Of May, 1871, an agreement was entered into
between it and Mr.. Harpending for the purchase
Of the Mineral Hill mines for the sum Of s230 900
which was very cheap, considering that silver to
the value of GOO was on the top of the ground
and probably millions more below It. This sale
was dated back to the 10Th of February. Mr.
Grant then formed another company, called the
Mineral Hill Silver Mining Company, for the pur.
chase and working OF the property which the Cal
ifornis Mining Company mad thus acquired. On
the 2lst of June the property, which had been
purchased on the 14th Of May for E23o,0O was
sold to this second company for $3.50 0OO-one hall
In cash and one half in fully paid up shares.
Mining engineers had been sent out, who re-
ported that the mines were rich; but they soon
turned out to be worthless, and the company is
now being wound up. But Mr.. Doulton had been
promised by Mr.. Grant q reward for introducing
Mr.. Harpending to him, and Mr.. Doulton in his
turn had promised to give to Mr.. Thomas Smith
one-half OF what he got from Mr.. Grant over
$4,000. Mr.. Grant paid Doulton $1,000, then
$4,000, and then gave him 1000 shares In Mineral
Hill; but meanwhile Doulton and Smith had
quarreled, and Smith served Grant with notice
that one-half Of these last payments belonged 70
him. The notice was served before the money
was paid, but Grant disregarded 1t. Doulton
now died, and Smith sued Grant for the money.
The vice-C Chancellor ruled that the claim was q
good one, and that Grant must pay the money
over agaIn-f1,75 with interest at per cent.
The point which Is worthy Of your attention Is the
peculiar manner In which such financing as this
is done. To buy worthless piece OF property for
Els, 600 and to sell 1t again for S4SOoO0 within
i've weeks is not bad thing, except for the buy.
