! A stranger visiting Staunton at this particular
time, might reasonably conclude that there was
something at the bottom of the city that The
people wanted to dig out. For three squares
OH main street, picks and spades have been do
ing an awful amount jof DETACHMENT and up
turning, until the pavements. cellar doors. ane
streets are completely topsy-flrvy. Bricks,
stone, mortar and paving rock constitute the
attraction, which draws hundreds of our citi-
zens to view the destruction OF old things; and
thcinauguration of the progressive new. Boss
Sheppard never struck CONSERVATION into Bour-
Lonism in Washington, more completely than
the City Engineer is driving old fogyism out of
the dcnizens of Staunton. Passing from main
street, down Augusta to the bridge, and we find
an immense derrick erected in the centre OF the
street; the old bridge torn up, the walls being
dug out and huge piles Of stone and dirt in the
centre of the avenue.
OF course, the sidewalks on main street are
almost impossible, and it is only now and then
we see a lady,impelled by the necessities of the
occasion to shop little, who ventures to run
the gauntlet OF the piles Of lose brick, huge
curbing and deep excavations, which obstruct
the usual promellades. Trailers are out Of
place.
The improvements now in progress will cost
about $4,000, which posterity will have the
pleasure of paying.

DEATH OF Mrs. GEN. JOHN EcHoLs.-Mrs
Mary J. Echols, wife of Gen. John Echols, died
in this city on Tuesday evening last, after a
brief and painful illness. The announcement
of the demise of this most estisnable lady crea-
ed profound feeling Of sorrow throughout our
entire community. Her modest, unobtrusive,
christian character had attracted to her many
warm friends, who admired and lovedher for the
genuine womanly and wifely virtues and yraces
that adorned her life. The home circle
was the theatre where the attractions of her
character shone the more conspicneusly. There
she was the centre of the affection aud caresses
those who knew her best, aud oyer whose
life her christian attachments and developments
shed their hallowed and melowing influence
Few women have more fully measured up to
the standard of the christian wife: mother and
companion, than Mrs. Echols, and her death
leaves void that no earthly agency can fill
She was consistent member Of the Presbyte-
rian church, and died .ip The full triumph Of the
christian faith.
