The Tribune says: The small but steady business in gold mining in the Southern States will receive an impetus as soon as the machine which has lately been perfected in this city becomes generally introduced It crushcs ore into powder as fine as the sands of the sea shore and then separates the bits of metal from the powdered stone by a pc -culi.r process of shaking and blowing. The cheapness of the apparatus, compared with the cost of stamp mills and its efficiency in the operation, will permit ores of the South and other sections to be ~orhed with excel lent profit People from the West and South and from Peru are investigating the capabilities of thi, invention.

\ SAD DEATH.-When the hands
went to work in the valley Virginian'
office, on Augusta ST., Friday morning
they found lying on the roller box a
young man Of thirty-two, dead. II was
James D. Hopkins, the fastest printer
in Stanton and probably the fastest il
the South, who could set his 10000 ems
a day with ease. He had been on
frolic FOR some time, and the morning
before had purchased four grains Of
morphine, doubtless to quiet his nerves.
In the afternoon, still under the infiu-
ence of liquor he had said to Mr.. Stone
burner. the foreman. that he had taken
four grams Of morphine and would be
dead in four hours, but the statement
passed unnoticed as the idle talk Of an
Intoxicated man. He then sat down
in maudlin condition and scrubbed of
the following note to a young lady liy-
ing in East Virginia, with whom he
had fallen in love while she was al
school here, and to whom he had been
much attached for several years:
las I told you, your name shall be
the last. May. am dying now-the
deadly poison is binding ne. but as !
die, don't forget you. Your name
holds its own in my heart yet. told
you that your name should be the last
that ever rested on my lips. If not in
this world, then in the next will claim
you as my own, Love to my darling.'
The hands when they quit work left
him sleeping in the office, as they
thought, in drunken stupor. He died
during the night, An inquest was
held Friday morning and verdict rem
dered in accordance with the facts.
Young Hopkins was & man Of unusual
intelligence, Of generous traits Of char
acter. and was the favorite Of all who
knew him. There was but one leak in
his character and it was that finally
sunk the ship. Indicator.

| .SAhASAoOR0, Aug Otlis 1Of IL
is'@% Tt was my pleasure to
attend q picnic about three and hall
miles from Strasburg, in the direction
OF Mt. Olive upon which occasion the
Strasburgs Band was in attendance, Of
which wish to speak particularly. The
boys We're hustled out carly on. Satur-
day morning Of the 4th, by the mclo-
dlous sound of a regular old farm wagon
or rather Of the, Mcclellan proportions.
They We're politely invited to take seats
therein and off to the pic-nlc they went,
after rendering some fine music and
'partaking Of the epicureans delight SC.
The old wagon again made its appear
ancc. Your correspondent got per-
mission from the driver to ride along to
Strasburg. I had never experienced a
thorough jolting previous to this. The
brakeman, when he applied number
nine, eased us greatly, but we had
Il position where we noticed the maneu-
vers of B. HAT who when he saw a large
rock or gully would up break. and Oh!
agaspine for breath, only to prepare for
another and another. all Of which B.
fat took in with more than usual de-
light. Upon reaching town, some Of
the boys who attempted to play while
jolting. felt their teeth as if they might
have been displaced. A tune on the
street and a dissemination. Now the
question IS, Can't we as a people of the
famous Shenandoah Valley, whose
taste for cornet music is unexcelled in
any community, contribute towards
etfectlng means by which ''band wa
gon' can be procured: We have under
stood that an effort is in progress to get
new instruments for this widely known
collection Of musicians. We further
believe there is not citizen of this
lower end Of the county, who would not
contribute to these much needed artl-
cles. Are there no ladies Of the COM
munity who are as enterprising as the
ladies' Of Woodstock. who were mainly
instrumental in procuring new instru-
ments for the Woodstock Band, which
IS a lasting credit to the entire communi-
ty, BY their support in exhibitions,
festivals &c. We believe there are such
were they known. Who will make
themselves worthy Of the highest
esteem Of the citizens of this communi-
ty? They shall be serenaded, even as
"Grant in Hingland" ...
