wATER.woRKs, &C.
STANTON, VA, November 10, 1875.
Last night the congregation OF the new
Second Presbyterian church was organized
Il ;ur Town Hall, which they have secured
i. Z place OF Sabbath worship until they
,l.Ii build q church. They include several
Of our most prominent cilizers, including
Captain Charles D. Mccoy, the principal
0, ;hs Deaf. Dumb, and Blind Institution;
Major Jed. UoichkiSs, The engineer on Gene
1,i Lees staff; Mr.. Harvey Effinger, cashier
Of tie National Valley Bank. and others.
The hall, which has just been beautifully
Upholstered and improved by the addition
Q! 4 splendid chandelier, was crowded to
wires the ceremonies. The sermon Was
p.,.clcd by Rev. Dir. Rosebro from the
W0ru, Christ also loved TIE Church, and
CAV Himself forit"; and the ceremony of
cyGaiuing the elder and deacons who had
h5ru C!iOsen-C Captain G.. ID. Mccoy, elder,
aui Me.srs Henry A. Walker and William
/. Hudson, dcacons--was conducted by Rev.
L. {. Walker and Elder David S. Bell.
After the ceremonies were over call was
made ont by the congregation for the pas
torai services Of Rev. McDutf Simpson, now
pastor al Churchvlle, near here. He is one
Of tie two young ministers who recently
came from Ireland and joined Lexington
Prc.bytery. He is man Of great eloquence,
AMI while preaching here temporarily some
months ago quite made the town wild over
him. He bears q striking resemblance to
the ia,e Dr.. T. Y. Moore, of your city.
The trial of the suits brought by the con.
tractors on the Valley railroad against the
company are up in the Circuit Court to-day,
and Bring number Of civil engineers to the
city Is witnesses. Major Randolph, the chief
engineer Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
Is here, and one Of the principal witnesses
for The company. The difference between
the company's engineers estimates Of the
work and the amount the contractors sue for
is $4,000.
The growing power" of Staunton is
well illustrated from the fact that in the last
year ending November 1st, notwithstanding
the hard times" and scarcity of money, there
were built here sixty.siX houses, at cost OF
$4,000. And yet 10 this live city during
lht past falltrade season Richmond only
s"nt i've drummers to thirty-eight sent by
Baltimore.
The first pay-car from Richmond that
brought greenbacks Instead Of scrip for the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad hands came

seen for rTo years.
Inc wa,er.works here are progressing
rapidly, and the stack is already finished.

A GATHERING OF STRANGE PEOPLE In Bos-
ToS.-Boston, November 14.-The New Eng
land Labor-Reform League held Conven-
ton in this city today. A series of resolu.
tions were adopted denunciatory of all poti-
cal parties, creeds, and faths, and asserting
that all legislation in this country tends not
to protect persons and property, but to pro-
mote the interests of speculative robbery. A
large number of speakers addressed the
Convention, and dark hints Of revolution
and secret military organizations among the
laboring men were thrown out. One speaker
asserted that men were drilling in Chicago,
and people need not be surprised to find
that city in ashes some morning; other cities
to be similarly served. Tramps were lauded
as the only honest men. The Convention
failed to hit upon any remedy for the alleged
disorders, and adjourned subject to call. .

BRUTAL OUTRAGE IN PHILADELPHIA.-Phl.
Gdelphia, November 14.-About midnight
last night gang of men attacked the house
of John Sergeant, Sixth and Jackson streets,
the extreme lower section Of the city. They
stoned the house, and then entered and tied
the proprietor; after which they threw the
furniture out of doors and smashed things
generally. Thirteen of them then outraged
the wife of Sergeant. Her injuries are of q
serious character. The police made three ar.
rests to-day, and are after the rest of the gang,
which is one of the worst in the city. The
tavern contained about four cart-loads OF
bricks and stones which bad been thrown
into it by the rufianS.

The Cotton Crep.

WASHINGTON, November 15.-The official
cotton crop report of the Agricultural De.
partment for November makes direct com.
parison of the product of this year with
TINT of 1874. The amount of lint in com.
parison with the weight of seduction is
quite variable, ranging from twenty-five to
thirty.three per cent, but SO far as reported
appears to be less than in 1874. The State
percentage representing the aggregate
quantity as compared with last year are as
follows: North Carolina, 81; South Caro-.
lima, 10; Georgia, II; Florida, 80; Alaba-
ma, 1O2; Mississippi, III; Louisiana, 100 ;
Texas, la; Arkansas, 1876; Tennessee, l16.
These figures point to small advance upon
last years aggregate if November and De.
cember should be favorable to the opening
and picking Of the top crop. ~
