down on him and the projections of the
walls bear groups of stuffed birds, OF
Which a solemn looking crane is the chief,
with Il stuff d fox lying life-like on the rug,
and canal les making the sweetest music, Dr
Homer Henkel stopped his work a minute
Tuesday to tell us that he had just finished

Dry of the great soldier and its ;aitlfulless
to the original is attested by those mos;
familiar with him, Maj. Hotchkiss Of his
staff for instance. The success of Dir. H
in this bust has been even greater than i'll
that made of his father Which we noticed
some time ago, and We trust that the ar
fist will be induced TO still further develo,
his remarkable talent. His seems to be a
discovery similar to that of Rogers, the
now famous maker Of groups, who was
brought up to and long practiced another
profession and only by accident discovered
his talent for sculpture. DR.. Ii. uses the
clay used by sculptors, free from sand and
of the consistency Of putty, which he Oh
tains from Richmond. We hope soon to
see d group from his hands.

Mrs. J. had been an invalid from consump-

here few days ago there had been visible
marked Improvement in both health and
spirits, so great that her husband, who is
also in delicate health, took the opportu-
nifty to go On an excursion into the noun
tains. He was thus absent from her bed
side, where he had been devoted atten-
dant, at the hour of her death, but her
sister, Miss Lila Lloyd of Alexandria, was
with her in her last moments. Rev. Mr..
jackson had come to the mountains for
the summer, and last Sunday preached at
the Episcopal church. Mrs. Us remains
were sent to Alexandria for interment.

Tributes of Respect.

The Committee appointed to draft resolu tlons
expressive of the feelings of the Ledge upon the
deat'l of their late associate. Alexander Boys
Cochran, reported the following:
WHEREAS. The members Of Staunton Lodge
No. l3, have heard with profound sorrow and
regr-t, OF the death Of their brother, A b
Cochran; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That in the death of our late asso-
ciats apd worthy brother, we have sustained
the loss offs tried true and trusty' member
the community an useful and honorable man
whose ,Iace in the walks of life and duty II
will be difficult to fill; the Commonwealth oil
Virginia true and loyal son, whose devotion
had been illustrated in the positions OF proml-
nence and dignity which he had held.
Resolped, That in the we'll pronounced and
decided characteristics of our deceased brother
we recognize those qualities which Free Mason
ry loves 10 honor Among those stood forth
his sturdy, we might say, almost rugged hon.
esty and sincerity strong adherence to the
right, determined opposition to wrong and
injustice marked 10y bold defense Of one and
fearless denuncia,ion of the other his 6dei-
t. 10 every engagement and his wonderful
thoroughness and fixedness in the performance
of daty these exAl ed elements of ch, racter
render the decease of A. B Cochran such loss
as 40 calling is rich enough in able followers
to look upon without concern.
Resolced That we hereby teuder to the be
feav.d famiy OF our dec,a>ed brother our pro-
foundest sympathes in their terrible mistor-
tune That the Secretary be authorized 10

RATTLEsNAKE FANGs.-This is the sea
son for rattlesnakes and an item about
their fangs may be il order. The general
impression is that after the fangs are ex-
tracted the snake is rendered harmless hut
this is mistake. Looking at a Lead pre-
served in spirits in DR.. Gibson S possession
the other day we saw the arrangement OF
the fange. The snake has long fang each
side of his mouth, and besides this there
is little bag near each, which contains
six fangs almost swinging loose and of all
sizes, from the little one sixteenth Of an
inch long, up to one Of a half inch. When the
fangs connected with the jaw bone are ex-
tracJed or broken out the bag puts one in
its plac, and it soon grows there lis firmly
as the original. Thus you will see it ism t
safe to trust a snake even if you have ex-
tracted his fangs few hours before.

Company here is growing rapidly i'll favor
and is encouraged by many of our capitalists
and best business men. Every section Of the
State except our own Valley, has one Or
more local stock insurance companies
There are in Richmond and l each in
Norfolk, Portsmouth. Lynchburg., Peters

have been very profitable to the stockhol-
ders always paying from 10 to Is per cent.

The Valley of Virginia is one of the
richest sections of the State and it would
seem that an insurance company here at
