TERRIBLE AND SUDDEN DEATu.-On
Saturday last, while the wind storm was
at its height, Mr.. Joshua Johnston, of
Rock Gap District, while walking down
Town Hill, large limb WAS detached
from a tree, which striking him on the
top of the head and forehead on the left
side, crushed in the left frontal bone,
driving the bone into the brain cavities,
killing him instantly.
The circumstances are these rs nearly
as we can learn: On Town Hill, Out
side of the Bath Square fence, stood a
large red oak, on south side ofthe road.
which, supposed to be dead, was con
sdered dangerous, and some two months
or more ago it was cut down, tut in
cutting it lodged in the fork of another
large tree parallel with on the road.
but lower down the hill. After lodg-
ing, two cuts were taken from 1t, and 1t
was LETT hanging in the tree, the fork
Of which was split by lis weight. Dan
ger, it appears, was aPprehended, but
nothing was done to remedy the dan
ger. On Saturday last Mr.. Johnston
went to Sir Johns Run. on business.
On returning, when at the summit OF
Warm Spring Ridge. riding on wagon
in company with Mr. Simon Henry,
his father-in-law, Rev. c. 0. Cook, and
others, Mr.. j. proposed to walk over
the short cut. When a little below the
tree in question, the limb Of the stand
ing one, oppressed with the weight Of
the felled tree, and the force of the
wind, split of with terrible crash and
struck Mr. J. on the left side OF the
forehead, with the distressing result
mentioned above When his company
arrived at the point in the road Oh
structed By the flllen limb, they jumped
from their wagon to remove it, when
the body of Mr. Johnston was found
lying in the road, with his head up the
bill, his legs diagonally across the road.
From the position in which the body
lay, it is supposed the unfortunate man
heard the crushing above him, and
turned round, receiving the blow on
the left side
The young wife and children of him
who was thus suddenly torn from them,
have our earnest and sincere sympathics.
His age was about AZ ycars.-.NOr-

BEAST BUTLER KICKS TIE DEAD RE-
PUBLICAN PARTY.-II the House OF Re
representatives. few days ago, in dis
cussing the interconvertibility scheme,
Beast Butler said:
"Why is it that the mills are stopped?
1t is not for want ofmoney. Any mem
Der of this House can go to-day to New
York with his bonds and get money on
them at call for three per cent, while If
business men want the money for thirty,
sixty, or ninety days, they must pay
seven, eight and twelve per cent. Why
is this? 1t is because Congress and
the Executive seem determined to bring
the country to specie basis, that never
was and never will be. Millions of
money are deposited in the saving
banks of the country on call, and if the
servant girls alone in Massachusetts
were to call in their deposits every bust
ness man in the State would be broken.
Referring to the failure of the Union
Trust Company, he inquired who would
not rather get 3.65 per cent. for gov
eminent bond than to have it i'll a trust
company at 4 Fer cent. on call. He
would rather the negro of the South
had his money in Government bond
than in a freedman's saving bank,
where he would not get 3.65ths of a
cent of the principal. This would keep
money at home and not compel us to
send millions abroad. The Republican
party has become the party OF the mo,
nopolist and the bond-holder. Years
ago it was the lowest strata of labor
with the slave; but now we have the
negro at one end and the capitalists at
the other. The responsibility for this
abnormal condition of things is with
the Republican party. 1t has now
last opportunity to relieve the country
and if it fails now it fails forever

And walk and talk with thee.
Then oh, how happy we shall be,

When deaths kind angels calls for me,
And Jesus whispers Jennie come.

An INCIDENT IN GERRIr SMIrn's LIFE.
Not long after Gen. Robert Z. Lee
became president of Washington Uni
versity at Lexington, Va, an agent was
sent North to collect money in aid of
the Institution, then very destitute. A
meeting was held at the Cooper Insti-
tute. and the Rev. Henry Ward Beech
er delivered speech. Before the con-
clrsion the messenger handed him the
following telegram dated at Peterboro,
and signed by Gerrit Smith "Draw
on me for $4,000 for the use of Wash
ington University. / regret that |
cannot now make it ten times as much. !"
1t is said this contribution was one of
the first offerings in aid OF what is now
known as the Washington and Lee
University.

Inc 1olloWlnS Is the report OF Tie re-
marks of Judge ]. T. Harris, of Virgi-
MIA, at the anniversary meeting Of the
Jackson Democratic Association, in
Washington, on Friday night last:
Hon. Mr.. Harris, of Virginia, was
next introduced, and was greeted with
applause. He expressed his reverence
OF Its institutions, and said that its
officers should have the cordial support
OF the people, irrespective Of party, in
their efforts to maintain its honor and
its dignity at home and its respect a
broad. But when man who occupied
the highest office in the gift Of the peo-
pie perverted it to the qualification OF a
low and selfish ambition, it was time
for the people to meet and place their
seal of condemnation on such conduct.
He predicted that the action of General
Grant ia relation towards his course In
Louisiana would hand him down to
posterity as a petty usurper OF the
rights of the people, aad that, after the
4th of March, 1877, he would pass and
repass these streets "with none so poor
as to do him reverence" He said If
Old Hickory pointing to his portrait
on the walD could come down on earth
and witness the scenes now being enac-
ted in New Orleans, the Crescent city,
which sixty years ago he defended nd E,
against foreign foe, and find Phil.
Sheridan, with clanking spur and gull
ded tinsel, like a peacock strutting
along its streets, unseating members OF
the Legislature with drawn sword, and
making slaves Of the people he had de-
fended-he would clutch him by the
nape of the neck, and with the excla-
nation, "By the Eternal" he would
plunge him into the Mississippi, boots,
spurs and all, making no more distur-
bance than the leap Of the dying frog
and that would be the last of little Phil.
GApplause. He said there is bat a
short step between freedom and slavery,
and then went on to discuss the grada-
tons between Republicanism and mill
tary despotism, and showed that the
latter prevailed this day in Louisiana;
and criticised with great severity the
conduct of the Government in regard
to that State. He concluded with con-
gratulations, that from the large audi
ence present he was sure the political
resurrection had come, and that on the
4th day of March, 1877, the long line
of march of Radicalism would be seen
on the avenue, not to the music OF
''Hail to the Chief" but to the doleful
strains of the dead march; not with
"charge bayonets," as in poor Louisiana
at this time, but with inverted breech,
they will wend their way back to the
people whom they have so grievously
wronged. AT the head of that column
will be one who has won victories in
war and enslaved his people in peace
who has held the first offices known to
man, and will then be so low that none
will bow as he passes, or say "there
goes a good man. Not even his favor
ite dog evil bear him company" but
Join in.the universal shout that we are
to have honesty, integrity and econo-
my in our Government, and that once
more We are free people. Mr.. Harris
retired amid applause and cries of ego
on, 90 on.

The Winchester News says: "The
Winchester Postoflicc question is again
looming up. Mr. Atwell's time, it is
SAID, expires in January. Grant said
that this postoffice was more trouble to
him than all the other postotfices in the
country. We doubt whether any change
will be made"
