who lives about 4 miles from Staunton,

which was laid on Monday of last week

like a worm than an egg. 1t is q
inches in length, and about I ofan inch
thick at one end and less than an inch
at the other. 1t is somewhat crooked
and about the color of guinea egg.

HORSE BREAKILG AND TRAINING,

Mr.. Rogers is now travelling through
the Valley breaking and training horses.
His charges are moderate and his sue
cess general. All the horses and colts
which he has handled, in the neighbor-
hood ofStrasburg are working satisfac-
torily. Any one having spoiled or
vicious horses and colts would do well
to see him or address him at Woodstock.
All work promptly attended to on no
charge unless he accomphshes what he
engages to do. 2t.

To THOSE WHO WE'RE SUBSCRIBERS
FOR THE DEMoCRAT.-The publishing
company of the DEMOCRAT have
large number of small bills for sub
scription and job work which they pro-
pose to send out for collection. Their
intention is not to harrass any of their
old patrons, but merely to put the bills
where it will be convenient to pay them
any time within the present year.
If their friends will reccollect that these
little sums aggregate large amount,
and represent seven years Of hard labor
they feel sure Of an earnest effort to
pay them within a reasonable time.
The bills will be sent to each township
with instructions to give good time for
payment and also to correct any mis-
takes that may exist. Every endeavor
has been made to keep the numerous
accounts correctly, but it Is not to be
hoped that some mistakes have not oc-
CURED in such large number of names.
1t is earnestly hoped these accounts
will be promptly settled, and that all
our old friends will continue their
patronage of the consolidated paper,
which we are trying to make first class
in every respect. at,
