A Grange Dinner.
Moscow, Jan. 1, 1875.

MOSCOW, Jan. L, 1879.
Editor Stanton Vindicator:
Permit me to give to you, and through
your very interesting and widely circulat-
ing paper, an item of news which may be
of interest to some of it's readers. AS
was indulging some reflections of the pass
ing and of the opening year--a fit period
for a retrospective view of the joys and
sorrows, the successes and fail lures as 1874
turns into 1S75-and we may we'll pause as
we for the first time write 1875. But time
waits for no one. So / am reminded of
my invitation to dine with the Moscow
Grange No 173. This Grange has very
wisely selected Mr.. VIM. Headrick us their
worthy Master. who has a smile and a
pleasant word for every one, and under
W3{8Se management the Grange is doing
f#6H The inelepency of the weather pre-
vented a fun attendance of the neighbour
hood, but suppose all told, Changers and
outsiders, great and small, there were near
100 persons dined, and the dinner certainly
reflected great credit on the ladies who
prepared it. They had everything in
abundance, and all seemed to enjoy it very
much. [ don't know when l spent an
evening more pleasantly. The hours spent
in social converse with neighbors and
friends on that occasion will not soon pass
from rIly memory. [ think Moscow Grange
can boast of many faithful patrons, if I
may judge OF tenacity for the principles of
Husbandry by their perseverance in eating
oysters and the many other tempting
viands placed before them on that occa-
sion. ORIENTE.

A CAPTAIN IN THE NAVY SUBJECTED
TO DISCRIMINATORY r. B. Lowry, at
present commanding the United States
steamer Cananqaigua, has incurred the
displeasure of the Secretary of the Navy,
and in consequence has been "furloqghed.' y
On board the Canandaigua a literary jour
nal has been edited and published by the
officers and crew called the "Canandaigua
Journal" Recently there appeared in that
journal an article in which the admins
tration of the Navy Department was sub
jected to criticism. A copy of the Journal
containing the offensive article was taken
ashore at New Orleans, and the criticism
copied into one of the daily papers of that
city, and was thus brought TO the eye of
Secretary Hobeson. Captain Barrett has
been detailed to relieve Captain Lowry,
and left here yesterday. To ssfurlough''
an officer Of the navy is u punishment rare.
ly administered. The furlough places the
officer on waiting orders, with but half the
pay and allowance of his grade. Captain
Lowry's sea pay is "a 500 per annum; his
waiting orders pay s., 800 and the furlough,
reducing this one-half. will leave him but
81 400 per annum. The time which the
furlough is to continue is not designated.

The FUNERAL OF REV. Mr.. CooMBs.-
The Methodist ministers of Washington
held meeting last week and adopted re-
solutions deploring the death of Rev. Mr.
Goombs, and declaring their belief that his
suicide was the result of insanity. The
Washington :'Star" of Thursday says:
The funeral of the Rev. j. n. Coombs.
whose sad suicide has been recently chroni-
cled, attracted a large concourse Of people
to the Western Presbyterian Church, soon
after noon to-day. During the morning
several thousand persons visited the church
to take a last look at the features of the
deceased. The coffin was encased in cloth,
with silver edges, and surrounded with
Masonic emblenls, and was surmounted by
appropriate floral ornaments. The church
was crowded, among the attendants being
a large representation of the Evangelical
clergy of the city, and the Mt. Horeb and
Hiram Lodge of Free Masons. The fu-
neral services were begun with the hymn,
GLOW dark the way we CO." announced by
Dr.. Tiffany, Rev. DIR. Sunderland p.'esseit--
ing the funeral sermon, and the Masonic
choir sang some appropriate selections;
Rev. DR.. Noble offered prayer, and Rev.
Dr. Mitchell read the scripture selection.
The remains were then escorted by the
Masons to Oak Hill and inferred with the

That shows he does not keep posted about
town affairs. The petitioners, however,
ought to have informed him. Again, he
says, "why were not the council asked to

What right have citizens of Staunton TO
petition the Legislature, without first OBJ
tanning the permission of the city Council

thereof in particular We beg pardon.
[ may add by way of apology. that the two
largest taxpayers in the Council were
privy to the petition. One Of them APP
proved it in part, and the other out and

In regard to the tax upon merchants, |
did not impose it. The Council did that,
and | merely took their figures, not know

some events in the last week. Our neigh
Dor, the spectator" has appeared in
handsome new dress, and isn't excelled in

A STRANGE DREAM FULFILLED
Rev. l.. W. Lewis, in his "Reminiscences
of the War;" published in the ''Christian
Advocate, " relates the annexed instance
as literally true. The battle referred to
was that Of Prairie Grove, in Northwest
Arkansas, fought December 7, 1862:
A curious fulallment of dream OCCUR
red at the battle under my own eyes. A
man by the name of Joe Williams had told
a dream to many OF his fellow soldiers,
some of whom had related it to me months
previous to the occurrence which / now
relate.
Gle dreamed that we crossed a river,
marched over u mountain, and camped
near church located in wood near which
a terrible battle ensued, and in a charge
just as we crossed the ravine, he was shot
in the breast: On the ever memorable 7th
Of December, 1862. as we moved double
quick to take our place in the line of bat
tie, then already hotly engaged we passed
ding, belonging to the Cumberland Pres
byterians.
81 was riding in the flank of the com
mand, and opposite to Williams, as we
came in view of the house,"
''That is the church, Colonel, saw ir
my dream" said he. made no reply, and
never thought of the matter again until
in the evening. We had broken the enc
my's line, and were in full pursuit, when
we came upon dry rayine in the wood and
Williams said ''Just on the other side OF
the hollow | was shot in my dream, and
will stick my hat under my Shirt" Suit
ing the action to the word as he ran along,
he doubled it up and crammed it in his
bosom. Scarcely had he adjusted it before
d mimic ball knocked him out of line
Jumping up quickly Ire pulled out-his hat,
waved it over his head and shouted PM
all right ~ The ball raised black spot
about the size of a mans hand just over
his heart and dropped into his shoe"

A MIXED QUESTIONABLE Supreme
Court of Appeals of Virginia has recently
decided that the States Of Virginia and
West Virginia are jointly and separately
bound for the debt of the old State of Viz
ginia. The present State has only claim
ed that West Virginia was liable for one
third of the debt, and that State has re-
pudiated the claim on the ground princi-
pally, that the money was expended most
ly for the benefit Of East Virginia. I'm
der this decision the question arises as to
how Virginia State creditor can recover
out of the jurisdiction of that State. This,
of course, carries the whole matter to the
Supreme Court of the United States, where
the constitutionality of the act of the Sc
paration of the two States will be involv-
ed. The final settlement of this question
will be watched with interest. Washing

EVEN those who have closely watched
events in Louisiana will be astounded at
the news we publish this morning of the
action of the Federal Government, through
its troops there. The action Of the admin
istration is as unparalleled as the de-
spatches of SHERIDAN are-at once maud
lin and atrocious. The whole story ends
all the hopes Of the Radical party i'll this
country. Louisiana bears it quietly under
bayonets, but the lest of the country will
not. Meetings have been called in the
West and New Y DIRK to protest against
this action.

THE COMING LAW FOR RAILROADS. IN

The COMING LAW FOR RAILROADS IN
VIRGINIA.-The Richmond correspond
ent of the Winchester sNews" says:
A subcommittee in the House, compos-
ed of Messrs. Ould, Williams and Arm
strong have in charge the subject of
tariffs-through and local freights. They
will, we learn, report a bill with stringent
provisions providing that railroads shall
not charge more for shorter than long
er distance, and shall approximate pro rata
lates. The bill will furthur provide pen
atty that will reach those great corpora
lions, and, perhaps, vindicate the supre-
macy of the people. The bill will provide
that an agent who shall attempt to collect
q bill for freights in violation of this bill,
must be proceeded against by indictment.
Fine and imprisonment will thus deprive
the offending company of it's agents. A
corporation cannot be reached by criminal
process, having no souls, but. its agents
and employees are human mortals, and are
Indispensable to these kings. Should these
provisions become Il law, your merchants
will not have to pay higher freight than
the Staunton merchants.

Correspondence of the Staunton Vinlicator.l
WAYNEsBoRo, Jan. 6.
Waynesboro during the entire Christ
mas holidays gave herself up to innocent,
rational enjoyment. All manner of dissi-
patton was given the go-by, and even the
little boys were furnished with entertain
ments so vastly superior to pop-crackers
and Roman candles as almost to have
brought those time-honored munitions
into disrepute.
The Christmas tree for the Presbyterian
Sunday School, groaning under it's burden
OF glittering fruit and precious little SOU
venirs, was made a joyful occasion to
many a youthful heart, and the musical
concert which followed at New Y ear by
the Juveniles has Weakened up the young
community to higher aims in the divine
art.
The ladies of the Methodist church gave
handsome entertainments, running thro'
two or three days, at Taylor Hail. and at
the audience room OF their unfinished
church for two successive nights. Ia
bleaux and music, interspersed with charm
ing vocal and instrumental music, attract
ed many who wish the church we'll, as the
proceeds go to paying the church debt. 1t
would be pleasant to refer more particu-
larly to these performances, but forbear.
Suffice to say, the role was creditably sus-
tanned. A duet was executed to admira-
ton. The success was slightly maffed the
second night by inclement weather..
The Changers, not to be outdone, poured
into the town in large numbers, male and
female, to partake of an oyster dinner pro-
vided by order Of that body. The Waynes-
boro Grange is composed in large measure
of our most intelligent and thrifty farm
ers, who yield to none in the skillful dis
cussion OF ap agricultural theory or a
tureen OF stewed bivalves. s
The colored Baptist and Methodist
churches respectively piled their energies
in benevolent enterprises, and, taking all
together, the most busy and practical use
was made Of this festal season that has
been enjoyed in the history Of this town.
