have to ask for convict labors to aid in re-
pairing the damages generally; and now
| will ask all those that are deeply interes-
ted in the road to come to my aid in build
ing the Calf Pasture river bridge as it is in
despensable. and | assure the public that
| will do the best for them that can and
will not throw up my commission as Su-
perlntendent, unless the board Of Public
Works sees fit to dismiss me, as l am more
deeply interested than any ether man. AS
to the damage doEe, the heaviest is in
Ramsey's draft, which including the
bridge will probably cost 5000 to $500; next
is that near Mr.. Rvan's. which including
the bridge there will cost $500 to $500; the
Calfpasture bridge | have estimated at
$500 ana Buffalo Gap at not over 5000 to
$780, These are the heaviest damages. In
ALL the dam gee to the entire road do not
think will reach over $4,000 to $4,000. The
road is in debt at this time 1852 and l
have the road open for travel.

Editors Highland Recorder !:

Editors Highland Recorder:
Allow me through the columns Of your
valuable journal to offer my thanks to Rev
A. f. Laird, Messrs. VIM. P. Hutchinson,
Samuel Anderson and others, of Bath CO.,
for the interest they have manifested in
the protection of my character against the
unmanly and cowardly assaults of one
whose pigmean soul could stand erect in
the shell of mustard seed, or traverse the
earth On the back of a common musquito
without disadvantage to the musquito.
Many thanks to you, Messrs. Editors, for
the notice of disapproval which appeared
in the issue of two weeks ago.
1t was my original intention TO pass the
NOTICE Of my being married by with silent
contempt, but the kindness of my friends
prompts me to speak, and while am at it
let me say to the perpetrator of the SANDER
that it Is well for him that it was published
against man who is under no necessity
Of resort!ng either to the law or the cow
hide, to vindicate either his moral or min
isterial character.
[ am very grateful to you, Messrs. Edi-
tors, for opening your columns to these
lines Such public-spirlted men deserve
patronage. May you always keep your
Wit(t)s and eventually pass oyer Jordan.
Respectfully.

add they don't make them any cleverer
than Dulaney anywhere, and was turning
into my hotel the other night when | heard
an air so new that must send it to you
1t was sung 10y quartette of colored per-
sons and here is a verse,
Hole de light! Hole de light!
Fur angels is lookin' at ne,
Hole de light! Hole de light!
Nv Hebbenly Marster fur to see.
Let me call your attention brethren
| 60 the thought. First, Holding the light
that one may be inspected by so good thing
! as an angel shows desirable clearness of
conscience which all of us, beloved, should
aim to have. Secondly, The knowledge
that angels have their eyes on us constant
ly must tend to make our lives better
What man would tumble at 2 O'Clock, A.
NJ, around lost key hole if he knew that
| angels were watching him and taking
note of his highly scented breath-for no
coffee nor cardamon seed, brethren can de-
ceive an angel. What woman would look
straight at the man behind the counter and
tell him that at the other store they had
offered her the same goods at a dollar
less if she knew an angel Was looking at
her with, Or without, a light; and what
woman, beloved, would say she was nine
| teen when she knew she was - less, if
she thought an angel was standing by
with an almanac under his wing. Final
ly brethren let us all so live that if an all
gel should sail around Unexpectedly we
may be ready to hold light for him. RI
hope you will print this sermon correct
! ly. 1t has high moral tone about it that
am rather proud of, Which think will do
| great deal of good.
1 have, you see, written you a full and
complete account of Harrisonburg, COM
mercially, politically and socially, which

MONDAY EVENING, JULY lG.

HECHAsTITY OF CossACK WoMEN.-These
Cossacks have some very curious customs.
They are all comparatively young men, and
nesrly all married, of course, to young wives.
1t often hsrpeps, as in the present instance
that they arc away from home during war tor
one or even three or four years, and the natural
result is that many of the wives lett behind 90
not prove to be Lucrctss. The Cossacks arc
quite aware of this, and many OF them, upon
starting home, buy white scarf or handker-
chief, which they take with them. Upon en-
tcriug their villages, the whole population
women, girls, old meo, and chlldren-come out
10 meet them, Including, OF course, the wives
of the returning wanderers. Now, those OF the
wives who have been unlaithful to their lords,
of which there is usually considerable sprlnk
ling, so forward TO their husbands, knccl down
before them in the road, put their faces IN the
dust, aud place their husband, ; loot upon their
necks. This is confession Of guilt, and at the
same time prayer for forgiveness. Ii the bus
band then covers his wife, head with the white
scarf, it means that be ioreivcS her, asks nc
questions, and obliterates the past. ln this
case no one has right ever to rer1oach The
wife With her incontinenoy, and II any one
should be rash enough TO do so be would have
10 count with the husband. who is the FRO
teetor of his wiFa's honor. II, 90 the con
trary, the white handk erchief is net produced,
the woman returns straight to hertathtr house
withou, again entering her husbands dwelling,
and divorce is pronounced. Although there
is generally considerable sprnkiing OF woman
who come forward to kneel down and put their
faces 10 the dust, it rarely happens that they
arc not forsirea. a very tragical case, however,
is related in which the reverse took place. A
returning Cossack was Informed by malicious
ncighbor before lie reached his home that bis
wife had been uulaithtul, without waiting 10 see
whether The woman would come forward and
confess her sins. The comrades Of the Cossack
perceived that be had all Of sudden taken to
drink and dissipation, although he was not a
man given to these vices. When he reached
bis village. his wife, as he feared, came for
ward kncIt down, and put her face iu the dust
at his feet. The spectators saw him look al
her as she lay 10 the dust for L long time. Two
or three times he put his hand in his breast Tor
the white handkerchief, as il he We're going TO
cover the repcutant woman shead-two or three
times the movement was restrained. Finally,
as il driven by sudden impulse, lie all once
drew his shashka, aud with one stroke severed
her head from her body The punishment Tor
the crime was Two months Imprisonment, while
the malicious neigb bor who had taken the trouble
TO inform him beforehand OF his vile miscon
