SENSATIONAL. Survive understand
that a very sensational suit will be
brought before the next Term of Court.
1t appears that colored girl living in
the neighborhood of Sharpsburg has
sworn child on young man, and
laid damages at $25OO. This will be
the first suit of the kind which has
ever been before our Court and will
doubtless raise considerable interest in
the issue.-Hager,town News.

BLOODY ArFAIR.-A report reaches
here from Fauquier county, to the ef-
feet that on Saturday last colored man
named Haines went to the house OF his
mistress-who, however, had gotten
tired of him-between Markham and
Piedmont, and Selling Ratchet, made
a murderous assault upon its inmates
the woman and her two children, by
another man-cutting and slashing
them terribly. The woman resisted
him vigorously, and fought him from
the house to a straw rick near by,
where the bloody and savage fight was
ended by her splitting his head open
with an axe aud stretching him dead at
her feet. The woman, too was hurt
seriously, and the children SO badly,
that they will probably die.-Narrsn

At a meeting held in Staunton, few
davs ago TO consider the best means
of promoting manufactures in that place.
Judge Hugh w. Shelley said that
the fundamental principal of public
economy was that community that
dosn't make anything to sell cannot get
rich, and one that borrows money and
can't make enough to pay the interest
on it must get poor. The lawyers and
preachers and doctors and mechanics In
a community are all valuable, but they
don't make it rich from the mere fact
of their being there.

To A Cold FoorED LApY.-Madam,
allow me to prescribe for you. | have
had long experience in the manage
ment of delicate women, and l believe
/ can give You some important advice.
For the present prescribe only for
your feet.
Procure quantity of wooden stock
ings-not such as you buy at the stores
nnder the name OF lambs wool, but the
kind that your aunt Jerusha in the coun-
try knits for you, thick as board, that
will keep your feet dry and warm in
spite of wind and weather
Ii YOU want to be really through,
change them every morning, hanging
the fresh ones by the fire during the
night. :,
Procure thick calfskin boots, double
uppers and triple, soles, and wear them
from the first of October to the first OF
May. Make frequent application of
some good oil backing.
Avoid rubbers altogether, except a
pair of large rubber boots, which may
be worn for little time through snow
drifts or flood of water.
Hold the bottoms of your feet In
cold water half an inch deep, just be-
fore going to bed, two or three minutes,
and then rub them hard with rough
fowls and your naked hands.
Now, madam, 60 out freely in all
weathers, and, believe me, not only
will your feet enjoy good circulation,
but as consequence Of the good circu-
lation in the lower extremlties, your
head will be relieved of all its fulness,
and your heart OF It's palpitations. Your
complexion will be greatly improved,
and YOUR health made better in every
respect.-Dr. Dio LeWis
