tor of Christ's Church in that place, APP
peared in the pulpit along with Revs.
VIM. II. and Frank Meade, his SOUS
The spectacle of father and two sons Of
floating at the same altar is of rare oe-
currence, and the Chronicle says "touch-
ed the hearts of many of those present
who for so long period enjoyed the
spiritual guidance of the venerable faith
er, and have known the sons from their
youth" These two sons serve congre-
cations in this county-the Rev. w. II.
at Zion Church, Charlestown, and Rev.
Frank at Wickliffe and Ripon. Rev.
w. III. Meade is conspicuous among
the names mentioned for the Episcopate
Of the West Virginia Diocese. Wouldn't
it be a handsome thing for the mantle
of the sainted Bishop Meade to fall
upon his beloved nephew.-Fres Press.

The stock train on the Valley Branch
of the 3. d 0. RR., ON Saturday night
last, ran over colored man named
Johnson, Of Winchester, in the cut be
yond that town. He was discovered ly-
ing on the track by the engineer, but
not in time to avoid running over him,

dustry, and will be instrumental In fur
nishing a large amount of useful lumber
from the Gondolas employed in the iron
