Hermesians To publish his address,
Mr.. NJ. i. Comann, of the Lynchburg
RcpuJ6cT IN. was in town last week,
and obtained number of subscribers
to that journal, which, if it were not
an organ of tie Funders, would be
still more acceptable to our people
This aside, it is q good one.
Gen. Malone was in town last Sat
uTday, and inspected everything here
connected with the A. NJ. & 0. r. r.,
and we guess he found all in splendid
condition. The Rad will meet its
July interest.
Prof. Deichman. goes to Baltimore
where he has q situation as teacher. -
That he will give them satisfaction,
we have not a doubt. and Bristol will
loose in him, one of her best citizens.
Mr.. VIM. BushOng is opening the
Black Sulphur Springs. three miles
below Bristol, situated on Judge
Trigg's farm, and known as the old
King Spring. This will put us one
AMI a half miles near mineral water,

good deal to say.

Hail and thunder storms are the or
der of the day. the one last Tuesday
evening OccasiOned more alarm than
damage. The chimneys and rods on

retopped the chimneys, and is now
putting up a neat veranda. A stoke
of lightning instantly KILLED dog on
the fill in the Fair Ground Avenue
in front Of Anderson Reds, near
Main Street. Death came to that dog
as it does to men, when he least eX
pected it. He was trotting leisurly
along, and when telcgraphed for, he
went to the ground in the twinkliug
of an eye. When the self constituted
coroner lifted him up, there was a lit
tie hole in the ground under him.
Nothing more. As there is no heaven
for dogs, his loyal spirit must have
gone down therein.
The church at PapervIlle had some
ten feet of the roof torn off and the
gable toppled out.
ateTmel0ns have appeared In town
from the southern fields.
Strawberries have about disap-
peared, but Snaps, potatoes and bees,

Elder B. G.. Manard has accepted a
call to the Mission Church on College
Hill, Lynchburg, which city is so
much i'm the habit of claiming all men
of merit and attainments, that we
look for claim that he was born in
the Hill City. We are sorry to lose
him, but are willing to put him
where he will do the most good.
Our Deputy p. NJ, Mr.. .Spurgin, is
