A prominent /: cattle man of this

somewhat particularly the quality of
the beef aud mutton shipped 10 that
market, gives il as his opinion that the
origin and spread OF the small .ox now
SO prevalent and fatal III San Francisco
and other parts of California is due to
the quality OF mutton which has been
sold Ia the markets during the sum-
mer. He says he saw sheep from the
southern part vi the State, driven to
the slaughter yards in San Francisco,
which were badly affected with scab.

and he has 10 doubt but that the habit

AN AWFUL ACCIDENT
Occurred here in the Leopard mine
Che first fatal accident that has
occurred in this place., and as the
STATE wants tho latest news from this
place give yon by the first ex-
press the substantial facts in relation
to the matter. Yesterday morning,
about O'Clock, w. A. Scott, a
mechanic who attended to the timber

500 feet deep, was lowered in the
bucket with two other men TO

The signal was then given by bell TO

THE MAIN FACTS
As elected from witnesses sworn by
ID. Bassett. Esq. acting AS coroner.
, The verdict of the jury is that de-

abcnt % years; that he came from
Chicago; and that he came by his
| death by the brakeman carelessly
letting the bucket fall on his head.
Bishop has been discharged from his
place; but that does not restore the
life of poor Scott. BY the foregoing
we can see the result of the careless
ness of incompetent men. Scott was

.RAWLEY SPRINGs.-Wes have received a
gloomy looking pamphlet printed in New York,
portraying the advantages Of Rawley Springs,
in Rockingham county. Wehave nothing to say
against the springs or their remedial proper
ties, nor against the gestlemen who are managg-
ing them. as individuals. But the disposition
manifested to take from the printing establish
ments of the Valley that which should be prop
erly given to them, and send it to New York
to have it very ndiffcrentIy executed, Isl matter
that we have something to say against. Ihere
is not printing Office in Harrisonburg or
Staunton that could not have turned out a bet
ter job, at about the same cost. Even ii the
charge had been small amount above the
cost, we think policy would have suggested
that home enterprise should have been encour-
aged. The papers of the Valley lose no OPP
portunity to commend to public patronage ev-
erything connected with Valley interests-es-
pecially nave they been partial to the places OF
summer resort for health and pleasure, freely
noticing and urging their attractions upon the
the public. We think that the managers OF
Rawley would consult their interests if they
would hereafter give evidence Of more liber-
al spirit and some indication of their apprecia-
ton of the gratuitous notices which have been
from time to time given of their springs.
