The lVedthor.-Thursdn aud Fri
day last gave no evidence that SATURDAY.
would prove {" be the coolest and most
disagreeable day we have had this
season, both being warm and pleasant.
Friday night about IL o'clock the
wind veered to the north and blew a
strong, steady gallo until near II on
Saturday night. The thermometer
ranged during the day from 2 tot de-
gteea above Zero. 1t was decidedly
the rawest and most unpleasant day
we have experienced for years. Mon
day morniI K we were greeted with a
four inch snow. Indeed, it seems that
we are to have an Old fashioned winter
sure enough

BASE BALL.-The Augusta Base Ball
Club last week challenged the Independ-
ents of Harrisonburg, butfor,some Difficult
ties in arranging the time, none was agreed
on, leaving the challenge in the hands of
the INDEPENDENTS to notify the Angus
tas when they will be ready to play. In
our list of the members of the Augusta
Club given last week we should have sta
ted that MI. L. Marks is the Sd base. He
is from Elmira, N. Y. and is an expert
enced member. The ''Independent" club
against which the Augustus propose play
ing are the ex-champions Of the State, and
good players, though the mechanics" Of
that town beat their picked nine last week
by a score of 16 to 4. The Augustus are.
practising daily.

VIM. B. Kayser, $40, for service rendered
the city in aiding Judge Smith, as CON-
missioner in suit against the city, was
favorably reported on, but Mr.. Fultz
promptly punched a hole in it, showing
that Mr.. K. if entitled to pay at all, ought
to he paid by Judge Smith, and the &C
count was laid over. The sum Of 500 was
allowed Officer Chas. Gregory, for ex-
pense incurred in arresting Clarence Le-
wis, at Goshen
The July Laterest--Mr. Witt reported
that there would be $4,000 interest due on
the LIST of July, which should be provided
for. The school accounts were laid over,

OUR OLD APPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC
INsTITUTIONs.--S has always had
her eyes open to the main chance, as the
following extract from letter written
nearly sixty years ago will show. The let
ter is dated at Richmond, Dec. 22d, 1918,
and was written by Briscoe g. Baldwin,
then member of the legislature from Au-
gusta, to Samuel Clark. He says;
1--WE haye as yet had but few subjects
before us of much interest. The location
of the University will probably be decided
in The course of few weeks. 1 am afraid
that Staunton will get a very small vote.
The tug will be between Charlottesville
and Lexington, but believe the power
full influence Of Mr.. Jefferson will prevail.''
