Music TEACHING.-Miss Virginia
Carter, who has just completed her ar
Engagements as music teacher at Edin-
burg, is DESTROYS Of securing situation
in some family if possible. She gives
instructions on the piano, organ, guitar
and several other instruments. She is
a graduate ofthe school for the blind in
the d. d. & B. 1. at Staunton, and
by her own effort supports herself and
an invalid mother and sister. Miss
Carter is one of the most agreeable
companions in the family circle and is
eininently qualified to give abundant
satisfaction as teacher of music. ANY
one giving her situation will get value
received besides aiding a deserving and
unfortunate blind girl in her laudable
effort at supporting herself and family.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT FROM COAL
OIL.-One night last week there was a
serious accident at the house Of Mr..
Addison Snapp, several miles from
Winchester from the careless handling
of coal oil, by which three of Mr.. Snaps
children, two boys and little girl, aged
respectively fourteen, ten and six years,
were painfully burned. 1t seems that
the oldest boy attempted to fill a
burning lamp with coal oil the other
children standing by. The result was
that the fluid became ignited, burning
the boys face very severely, and being
communicated to the other childcen also
burned them painfully before aid arrived
DR.. Godfrey Miller was called in and
his little patients are doing as we'll as
could be expected.-Wtn. Nesss.
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1877-04-05

SHEEP CULTURE.-We publish in
this issue, communication from an
old farmer, upon the subject of sheep
culture. The writer is a practical and
successful farmer. He gives his views
in straight forward, business way, and
tells what has been done here in our
own county. Agricultural articles
from practical farmers of good Judgment
are always valuable, but when they
come from our own farmers they are of
special Importance. The mode Of farm
ing in other states may not be suited to
our own soil, but that which succeeds
here is what our farmers desire to know.
We intend to make the HERALD SO
valuable to our farmers, that they can
not afford to do without it. We desire
to give them such agricultural matter
as is Of special value to them; aad in
order to do this we ask our farmers to
give us the result of their experiments
in stock raising, application Of lime,
fertilizers, &c. Do not hesitate on ac-
count Of the writing or grammatical
construction Of sentences. We are not
seeking either grammar or rhetoric.
We want good common sense, and
there is no class of people who have
more Of this than the plain, practical
farmers of the Valley.

COPPER ORE.-Fine specimens G

COPPER ORE.-Fine specimens Of
copper ore have been discovered in the
Blue Ridge about twenty miles south
west Of Luray. 1t Is said to be very
rich. The mine is owned by Ed. J. X.
Booton and B. F. Grayson, Jr., who
propose to develop it at once. Our
mountains are distined to enrich the
state. The iron interest may be
temporarily paralized, but it will again
in short time, give employment to
thousands of busy hands and enrich not
only the proprietors, but give prosperity
to every section Of the state.

Local Notices.

GOOD ADvICE.-Now is the time of
year for Pneumonia, Lung Fever, &c.,
Every family should have battle of
Boschee's German Syrup. Don't allow
for one moment that cough to take
hold of your child, your family or
yourself. Consumption, Asthma Pneu-
mona, Group, Hemorrhages, and other
fatal diseases may set in. Although it
is true German Syrup is curing thousands
ofthese dreaded diseases, yet it is much
better to have it at hand when three
doses will cure you. One Bottle will
last your whole family a winter and
keep you safe from danger. If you are
consumptive, do not rest until you have
tried this remedy. SAMPLE Bottles 10
cents. Regulor size IS cents. Sold by
your Druggist,

HAMBURG, April I'd, 1877.
Mr. Editor

| The citizens Of Hamburg
and vicinity were entertained very
pleasantly at the close Of E. s. Calvert's
school at Hamburg Seminary. The
various classes came up promptl y
and recited in such manner as reflect
ed credit on them. The department Of
the scholars and visitors was an honor
to themselves and the neighborhood.
There was very great kindly, brother
ly and slsterly regard existed among
all the scholars, quite number of them
threw their dinners together, and set
a table good enough for King, those
of more mature age waited ON the
smallest until they were well furnished
then all joined, and mutually enjoyed
the rest. I believe E. S. Calvert, pro-
poses holding an Exhibition in few
weeks, I presume you will know in due
time.
Mr.. Miller (Lutheran) held commun-
ion meeting at Bethel on Sunday April
LIST, 1t was largely attended, the sermon
was excellent, just such a one as the
honest Parson is capable of preaching.
There was quite number of communi-
cants, the meeting is to keep up until
Thursday and perhaps Friday evening.
There were 5 confirmed and their names
were ordered to be enrolled on the
Church Register. Parson M. is one of
those men who is great because he is
good.
Respectfully,

WHIPPED.-Morris Alexander. col
ored, for stealing bacon of W. 7. Will
Jams, was tried by Mayor Rodetf'er anc
sentenced to receive 80 lashes on the
bare back. Nineteen to be administer.
ed at once and the remaining twenty il
ten days. Morris in the meanwhile tt
be. bailed upon his own recognizance
We would advise him to at once emf
CRATE to Urbana O. where he woulG
receive, instead Of the twenty lashes
the gushing sympathy Of the Editor o
the Citizen and Gazette, provided his
sympathies extend to colored people
who are democratic in politics.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.-Near War
densville, on the Oath inst. Mr.. Elijah
Sine met with painful accident. 1t
appears he had just left the sawmill of
Mr.. J. B. Clagett, with his wagon
heavenly loaded with plank, when by
some means he was caught under tie
wheel, and badly crushed both bones
and muscle below the knee of the right
leg. Necessary medical aid was rem
dered by DR.. 1. P. Kerr, who at last
accounts reported him doing as we'll as
could be expected. Mr.. Sine is hard
working, honest man, and served dur
ing the late war in the 18th Virginia
cavalry, and proved to be brave and
gallant soldier. We hope he will soon
recover.

New SCHOOL BUILDING.-The trus-
tees of Stonewall and Johnston District,
assisted by the people of Toms Brook
and neighborhood, intend to erect good
two story school building at Toms
Brook during the ensuing Summer. A
number of new dwellings have been re.
Gently erected at this place, and bust.
ness seems to be prosperous. There
are at present two stores, staye an6
barrel factory, and saw mill, at this vii
lage. The people feel an active inter.
est in the subject Of education and will
we have no doubt build up a gooG
graded school.
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1877-04-05

BE CAREFUL ABGoT Coal OIL
We hear Of still another accident from a
coal oil lamp. A lady at the Taylor
Hotel, upon retiring for the night, lett
the lamp burning. She was awakened
in the night by the peculiar smell Of
coal oil and smoke and found the atmos-
phere of the room sitting. She gave
an alarm and the night watch, upon
entering the room, found that the lamp
had burst during the night, burning a
portion of the stand cover on which it
was placed.-Wn. Neps,
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1877-04-05

PERMoTIoNs.-Mr. Spencer, the ac-
tive, efficient and polite Supervisor of
Trains Of the B. & o. r. r. has sew
cred his connection with that road in
order to fill an important position on the
Virginia Midland Road. Mr.. J. Fl.
Averill, who has been Assistant Seper-
visor of trains and in that position has
proved himself to be an excellent railroad
official takes the place of Mr.. Spencer as
Supervisor of Trains. Mr.. Averill, by
his gentlemanly and polite department
while in charge of the Valley division
has made many friends along the line.
