music. They left at this morning, and
promised to report to you on arrival your
reporters progress.
Yesterday some boys found an old Con-
federate battle-fag, and innocently waved
it out Of the upper porch of the Efinger
House, where it created no little excite
ment, and I have no doubt the Radicals
will try to magnify this child's play into
living revolution. 1t was soon taken in.
The U. S. flag swinging across the street
from the Spottswood to the Sybert build
ing made some fun for the ''rebs." A
leading Radical couldn't get an old G. S.
A. cavalry horse under it, while the said
horse gave the torn and tattered battle
flag a friendly snort Of recognition. This
is all worthy of mention, except that three
of your Staunton Templars are said to
have deliberately stopped and set their
watches carefully by Rittenhouse's big
wooden clock sign; but this is all owing to
the effect produced by your reporters
rushing them down and drenching them
with Dr.. Halls whisky antidote, and was
not serious.
The Commonwealth, !" Register" and
Gray of Hope" flourish as "green bay
trees' on the fairness and richness of Rock
ingham's prosperity. The people don't
complain, and say that wheat looks well,
and business begins to look up.
DR.. Saupe, formerly Of Staunton is here,
caterer for the Spottswood, and he does
things up in style.
Judge Rieley, formerly U. s. Claims
Commissioner, is here too, after o pro-
longed sojourn insVenezuela, South Anne
RIGA. He is looking well, and expects soon
to visit Staunton.
The big bell and clash is all the excite
ment, and every man.. woman and child
thinks they have legal right to march
solemnly up to the tower on the court
house and bang away on it, then, much
relieved, they walk as solemnly away,
peaceful and happy. This pilgrimage is
kept up day and night, and every one
seems to take it as a matter of course and
the right thing to do. Major Luck is
philosopher, and takes the noise easy, say
ing, Never mind, they'll get tired after
while, and it amuses them so solemnly
that it would be a pity to stop the fun

A TRAGIC REMEMBRANCE.-Th lower
end of New Court House street was blocked
for several days this week with a frame
dwelling being blocked across the street to
lot, where it will be put in position
again as residence. The old tenement
brings up the recollection of a fearful ira
gedy which occurred three years ago with
in its walls. One summer night it's occu-
pant, 6. W. Smiley, going home, looked
through lower window and saw a man
named Black assaulting his sister, OF so
the evidence for the defence ran, and rush.
ing in to her defence seized a carving
knife and slew the assailant. Smiley was
lodged in jail, and was in the same cell
with the victim when the Hodges mob
broke it open to take their man out. The
fright was 50 great that Smiley7s mind
gave way, and he spent some months in
the lunatic asylum. When he recovered
he was tried and acquitted.

OF the lectures Of Mrs. S~tenhouse.
Who will shortly arrive and deliver q
course OF lectures in Virginia and Gold
Hill on the subject OF Mormonism, the
Eureka Seniinel OF January 22d says:
Mrs. Fanny Stsnhouse. OF Salt Lake
City, a Lady who has excited more than
an ordinary interest wherever she has
been, lectures this evening at Bigelow's
Hall. on the "Inner Life Of Mormon
ISM" At tho time the lscturess con-
nected herself with the Latter Day
Saints, Mormonism was new, the mis-
sionaries jealous in their endeayors to
obtain converts to the new faith. and
polygsmy was not only not prscticed by
the Saints" but indignantly repudiated
by them. After many years, light began
to dawn; the plurality system wa
established. Another wife was intro
ducsd into the family. and the troubles
Of the first wife were intensified and
rendered more acute. a. might have
been expected. 10 a lady OF refinement
and cultivation than perhaps they
ulleht nave pcen 10 ono OF a COLI,
indifferent and unthinking DISPOSE
ton. What = wife's feeling. under
such circumstances, must have been. no
one-probably not sven a woman-out-
side OF Mormonism could realize. When
afterwards she and her husband abjured
their faith in the divinity Of Mormonism
they were accommodated at their re-
quest; Immediately afterwards they were
both subjected to q gross and brutal out
rage perpetrated by four masked men,
almost within call Of their own home.
From that time Mrs. Stenhouse resolved
to devote all her energies in the endeav-
or to enlist the sympathy OF the outside
world for tho ssffsrings Of the Mormon
and the interest OF INT every
in the constitutional suppression
Of polygany in Utah by Act OF Congress.
Since then she has lectured on the sub
jsct in various parts Of the States, and
has everywhere been received with
consideration. She still contin-
ues in her task. Tonight all who are
DESTROYS OF knowing Mormonism as il il
should listen TO her. Her lecture in tho
sad but truthful story Of what she her.
self endured when in thralldom. what
thousands Of women arc still expert

WANT To M

A petition from an alleged majority OF
settlers in that portion Of Nye county
lying between White Pine and Lincoln
counties. to DO annexed to White Pine
county. has been circulated, signed. and
10 published in the White Pine Nnes Of
the 23d instant. The petitioners allege
that in many instances the distance from
their residences to Belmont. the county
seat Of Nys county, is seventy.dve miles
in an air line. and that from the same
points TO Hamilton it is only from sish-
teen to forty miles. Also. that the
nearest point from the dividing line be-
tween White Pine and Lincoln counties
Is in no case less than ninety miles from
the county seat OF Nye county. thus
causing . hardship on persons having
business with the county, both in time
and expense. Also that at the present
time Hamilton. from its proximity. is
the principal point where all except their
legal business is now transacted.
The petitioners add that ii having
been shown that the future prosperity
Of their section OF country would be
largely benefited by an Act such as
mentioned, and a large majority OF resi-.
dents having signed the same, they con-
sider Il a right due to them that they be
granted this request. The Noes says
the petition has received the signatures
Of one hundred and twelve residents,
which number it says is q large major
ity Of those entitled to sign ii.

all matters pertaining to the fragrant
