AFFECTION OF A WIFE.-Most of Our
readers recullect an account that appeared
in this journal just a year ago, of a fear
full attack made with an x upon his wife
and family by an old farmer named Au-
gustus Staubus, near Mt. Scion, who had
suddenly become insane. The wife had
her head split open, the brain was plainly
seen, and pieces OF the skull are being ia.
ken out to this day, and she was otherwise
badly cut. The old man was brought to
the Lunatic Asylum and is there now, but
his wife is anxious for him to return
home, saying that if DR.. Baldwin will
give him d discharge she will gladly take
him home and take care of him. The
family is one Of wonderful vitality, as
Mrs. Staubus' recovery testifes. and the
children inherit it. Recently out West a
son of hers, drove a Cart to a gravel bank
about dawn, and while digging at the bank
it caved in catching him and breaking both
legs. He lay till nearly night on a bitter
cold day, and at last managed to disengage
his broken legs and crawl into the cart
and drive to a neighbours. He recovered.

THE VALLEY RAILROAD.-President
P. P. Pendleton, of the Valley R. R. Co.,
was in the city last week. He has been
making preparations to make an accurate
estimate of the cost of running the road
by the company itself. Both the B. & o.
| Co. and the Shenandoah Valley Co. have
run it and say it entailed a loss on them,
| and President Pendleton is now making
the experiment to see where the loss is and
if it may not be remedied. The company
| will for a month pay the B. & o. Go. the
/ exact cost Of running their rolling stock on
the road, and separate accounts will be
kept of all outlays or the road, so at the
meeting of the Directors, President Pen
dleton will be able to report to them
whether it can be run by the Valley Co.
without loss.

THE CARNIVAL OF CRGsUs at Grange
Hall, Wednesday night, was all there ex~
cept CrGsus. The Fakir is a remarkable
ventriloquist, but there he stopped. He
wouldn't have more than two thousand
people to see him if he came to Staunton
again. His investing three remark ably
sober-looking citizens with the gift of
second sight was beyond criticism, il we
take cheek into consideration. But he is
a funny fellow for all that. and he told US
that when he showed in Utah he gave
the three school commissioners free adj
missions for themselves and families, in
consideration Of being allowed to use
the school-house. When the Snowman
went to the house that night it was pack
ed full, and not a dollar in the ticket Of
fee. The commissioners families had
done the business.

Scrcnade to Judge Reed.

The Ab6eville Silver Cornet Band
screnaded Judge Reed at the Central Ho-
tel "Wednesday night. After playing sew.
eral pieces of excellent music the Judge
was loudly called for. He promptly res
pended in a short and beautiful speech III
which he referred to "duys of auld s.yne,'
when he was solicitor of this Circuit. He
never missed attending Il Court at Able
vile from 1850 to lSuS-eightecn years.
In that time and during his visits he had
formed a high opinion of the place and a
strong attachment for the people of ABB
bcvillc county, who have always been
distinguished for their intelligence,
education. culture, high character
and manly virtues. They were once the
richest people in the State and he was lead
TO believe from the looks of this beautiful
town that the sons of those who had
passed off the stage of action possessed
much Of their fathers public spirit and
enterprise. After paying deserved tri-
butte to the Judges of the old regime he
said that he should take them for his
guide and would, to the extent of his
humble ability, seek to emulate their vir-
tues. He appreciated this mark Of atten
ton and Kindness which was given, he
supposed, more On account of the per-
formance OF his duties in former years,
than for anything he had done at this ses-
sion of the Court. After again assuring
them of his thanks he withdrew.

Thanksgiving Day in AbbevilIe.

Although the business houses of the
town were closed, there were religious
service in the morning only in tho Epis-
copal church, where there was but a slim
attendance of devout hearers. The Meth
odist church was opened at night, when
religious services were conducted by the
pastor and Rev. r. n. Pratt, of the Bap-
fist church. Mr.. Pratt being invited to
do 50, delivered the sermon on this occa-
sion. Mr.. Pratt, the pastor Of the Baptist
church, was absent until it was too late
for him to give notice of services in his
church and hence the doors of that sane
tuarv were not opened. Rev. Mr.. Mar
tin, had made arrangements to go on a
Journey, in the afternoon of that day, and
so he ''praved to be excused" His
church was not opened. We have not
learned Of any reason assigned for the
not opening of the Methodist church in
the morning. We were sorry to see so
little attention paid to the observance of
the day by the religious part of the COM
munity. We think we might at the re-
quest of the Chief Executive of the State
unite in returning thanks to the Lord for
"his goodness and loving kindness to us,
and to all men," When the men Of the
world closed their doors, and ceased their
daily pursuits, it seems to us that he
ministers of the gospel might have open
cd their churches.

Let us Drain the SWamps.

Editor Press and Banner:
Permit me the use Of our columns to
earnestly invite the attention of the citizens
of the town to the condition Of q large body
of bottom land extending from Douglass
ford below Rock House to the Rock
Falls, and to Cambridge road beyond
Fort Pickens. Upon personal inspec-
ton, I find the condition such as to
excite serions apprehensions for the health OF
the town. unless prompt attention Is given to
the matter.
The means now at the disposal OF the coun-
Gil are not sufficient to incur the expense OF
the necessary ditching that ought to be done
and done al once. At the commencement OF
the term of office Of present council, they
not one dollar in the Treasury, with
indebtedness turned over by former council
amounting to about one thousand dotu7;S.
pressing for payment. OF thlsa amount about
$780, 90 has been paid besides meeting current
expenses. The available means ut the dispos.
al of the council from taxes TO be collected
will not more than meet current expenses 10
the end of their term. 1t Is important,
therefore, that the citizens take thlsin hand.
The small amount OF one dOUnr from each
tax payer and voter will do the work. The
proprietors Of the lands ought to bear n pro.
portion Of the expense as their property VIII
be materially enhanced in value.
VIII the citizens bCStir themselves In this
matter?
