Orleans Grange, Glover, now about enter
ing upon its fifth year Of existence stands
numerically about City members, financially
800 in the treasury, cash funds besides all
the parapherualiA for the working Of the
grange also $40 proceeds Of the levee
which they intend to appropriate in part
payment Of an organ. Therefore whoever
joins now will be buying greater interest
in the funds already accumulated than il
will cost to join. Many have heretofore
said that if they could join for the same as
the charter members paid they would do it,
But now whatever they pay to join relatively
costs them nothing, as the interest they
would thus acquire 10 the funds already &C.
cumulated will be more than the cost OF
buying said interest. The store business
has been doue on q capital OF 500. About
$4,000 worth of goods have been sold, not
including heavy goods, averaging less than
three per cent, making gain OF about $50
on the sales. And still a great proportion
Of the community insist upon paying the old
fashioned percentage on their goods to keep
the merchants from tumbling into the ruts
Of poverty.

ATTEMPTED OUTRAeE-Louis Majors, a
notorious colored rough. was brought before
the attempted outrage of a little 12-year-
old girl. The child visited Penny Hill ceme-
terry on the evening OF the recent election
for the purpose OF strewing flowers upon the
grave ofher little brother, and while there
she was attacked by Majors, who would
have accomplished his purpose but for the
timely arrival of several parties, which
frightened him of, and he escaped, first
threatening her with death IL she told on
him. The child, thus threatened, said
nothing of the occurrence, and kept silent
until yesterday, when she commup icated IL
to colored woman in the house, who In
turn informed her parents, and they pro-
cured a warrant for Majors arrest. It was
placed In the hands of Officers Belts and
Walker. who arrested him at his house In
Penny Hill lane. Majors was brought be-
fore Mayor kemper this morning, but IL
Fairfax county. the mayor committed him
Tor the authorities of that county. He was
taken out TO be tried before Justices Kerby

ONLY A SHAvING.-To show how utterly

mention the suggestive fact that one OF our
enterprising butchers had to send his wagon

in this city. Straws and shavings may both
show how the wind blows, and the want OF

fathers tear up railroad tracks, Sentinel, Sd.
Potato BUGS.-A new means of getting
rid OF these pests has been discovered by Mr..
John Slater, the well-known horticulturist.
He had his potatoes nearly destroyed last
year by the bugs, which afterwards attacked
his egg plants. He sprinkled the vines with
hydraulic cement, while the dew was on
them, in the morning, and after two appli-
cations was troubled no more with the bugs.
The cement is much cheaper than Paris
green, and is not SO dangerous to use.
