A BEAUTIFUL CHURCH.--St. Francis
(Catholic) Church of this city has recently
been repaired and reprinted, and is now the
prettiest house of worship in the Valley.
The walls and ceiling have been handsome
ly frescoed, the designs being unusually at
tractive and neat, a beautiful gothic confess
sional and two new affairs have been erected,
and the windows painted and pews stained
and vanished. The execution of the chan
eel in which the main altar is situated, is
rare and of unusual artistic excellence. Six
graceful columns reach from the floor to the
curve of the arch, and the dome represents
blue sky faxed with soft white clouds, and
in the centre is white dove surrounded b.
halo of golden light. The effect Of this
piece of master workmanship is particularly
fine and reflects the greatest credit upon the
artist. Mr.. F. Stating, OF Harrisonburg.
Arching the dome are the words, '"The Lord
is in his holy temple" and in the centre Of
each of the affairs is the monogram III. Fl.
So Taken altogether, it would be difficult
to imagine more complete and appropri-
ately decorated church, and the congrega-
ton are to be congratulated upon securing
the services Of an artist so accomplished.
Next Sunday services will be held in the
church, and a number of persons from ada
cent counties will be present. It is also ex-
pectcd that several eminent priests will at
tend.
Father McVerry's little flock should feel
proud Of their house Of worship, for certain
ly few congregations in this State can boast
of a temple Of such thorough appointments.

Valley NORMAL Music ScHooL.-This
school closed its f,u.th annual session at
New Market on last Thursday night with a
grand concert. AS its name implies. it is
intended to prepare music teachers for their
work, hut its design is by no means confined
to one class, as all who desire instruction in
the art, however limited their attachments,
may be benefited by attendance on its ses-
sions. The principal, Prof. B. c. Unsell.of West
Va, is an accomplished musician and an ex-
traordinarily successful teacher. He is ably
assisted by Prof. P. j. Merges, OF Philadel-
ph1a, and talented corps. Some of our
Staunton musicians attended the last session
and pronouce the course OF instruction
an admirable one and the progress made by
the various pupils unusually rapid. The
next session begins on the lst Of August
1878 and ends on the Both of the same
month. Terms per session $40.

From the rich anthony mines Of Hum
boldt county we have the following informa-
ton through the Silver State of July 10.
The Jones Brothers team arrived here yes
terday from the Southern part o. the county
with 20, 900 pounds Of antimony ore for ship
ment to San Francisco. 1t is from the
antimony owned by Graves, Goodall and
Healv, and is said to contain about an average
of II per cent. metal. Persons who have
seen the mines say there is an abundance of
high grade ore in sight, but for some cause
there is but little of it shipped. 1t is little
strange that in this enterprising age sufficient
of this ore is not extracted to supply the
demand in San Francisco.

BEAM PIXLEY'S HAT.

Yesterday Beam Pixley, our handsome
County Assessor, was busy making prepare
lions for his trip to Santa Cruz. His clothes
were all right and so was his tooth brush and
and his shaving kit and his paper collars and
all his new neck ties, also his bathing suit and
his numerous white vests. But it pestered
him to know just how to get along with his
new plug hat He sighed and prayed for one
of those leather bandboxes that all weIl-reg
ulated Englishmen travel with; and it was
only toward nightfall that he finally secured a
secondhand box of the pasteboard variety.
Then, as the time for the going OF the tram
drew nigh, he and Bob, his brother, and
Hutch and the box Containing the precious
hat) started for the depot Bob invited the
others into Jake Tobriners to get cigar.
Beam concluded to lay in enough for the voy-
age. While he was making his purchases,
Hutch slyly opened the hat-box, extracted
the unsuspecting plug, set it out Of sight un-
der Jake's corner, replaced the box cover,
tied up the strings of it and finally saw 1t
safely on board the train. So Beam, IN the
confidence of the trustful nature has gone
away from his happy home, totlng the CHASTITY
mockery of an empty hat-box while his heart
less brother and his deceitful companion,
Hutch, are lying back waiting results and i'm
aqining to themselves poor Beams look OF
despair when he discovers his despollment
We know what he will do,-hell swear; but

brow

A Man DEvoURED BY BEAR.-A shock
ing story of devouring by bear comes to US
from Fredericton junction. An old man
named Thomas Anderson, on Tuesday last,
was chopping in Hardwood Ridge, but, not
returning at the usual dinner hour, the peo-
pie with whom he boarded felt some anxiety
for his safety, as he was feeble man. Night
came but with it no tidings of the absent man
The following day a strict search was institu-
ted, revealing the horrible fact that the man
had been deyoured by bear. Bear foot
prints were found on the ground, which was
bbesnattered with gore, and near the foot of a
tree were found the boots Of the unfortunate
man with part of the legs in them. Not far
from this was found portion Of his head
nlain in the soft soil, and the blood along the
tracks, track the horrible way in which the remains
were torn, there is no doubt but the unfortu-
nate old man became prey to bear: An

AN AGED FEMALE TRAMP.-The Reno
Gazette of Wednesday evening relates the
following
Two tramps, yesterday, while en- route
from Wadsworth to Reno, dicovered Poland
Jewess lying on the c. P. R. R. track about
six miles West of Wadsworth. They soon
ascertained that she had been travelling and
had lain down on the track completely
exhausted. She had roll of blankets with
her, and, as was afterwards found out, had
travelled on foot from Sacramento Her in
tentions were to make Chicago, but the warm
weather proved too severe on the old woman
and she sank down discouraged and exhausted
and perhaps soon would have persisted had
she not been discovered. She is near 90
wears of age and cannot speak one word of
English. The tramp footed back to Wads-
worth and informed the railroad authorities
of the facts in the case. Superintendent Free
at once sent an engine and coach to where
she Law and had her brought to Wadsworth,
where she was placed in charge of D. Allen,
proprietor of the Wadsworth Hotel. 1t IS
very probable that the railroad company will
take her East Certainly when woman of
her age walks over 200 miles she is entitled to
a free ride the remainder of her journey.

OF the doings of an insane Chinaman the

OF the doings of an insane Chinaman the
Silver State of Wednesday says:
S. Remnant, formerly of this State, now of
San Francisco, who arrived here yesterday
from Boise City, Idaho, informs us that he
was in greater danger OF being scalped by
crazy Chinaman on the trip than by the Indi-
ans. The Celestial, who, it appears, is a
raving dangerous madman, took passage at
idaho for this place. On the stage he became
ungovernable, and brandished a huge knife
and revolver, with which he threat
ened to carve his fellow passengers, and had
to be restrained from putting the threat into
execution. He was left at Camp McDermit
to await the action of the authorities. 1t
company who brought this raying maniac
seems to US lust and reasonable that the stage
into the county from Idaho should pay the
expenses incurred in caring for him, unless
he himself is provided with funds for that
purpose.

BLOOD AND oUNs!-The New York Express
is quoted as follows: .
New York, July 2O.-The Express, the or
gan of the Tammany ring, in its issue OF last
evening accuses Randall! OF the basest treaGh-
cry to his party known in our history The
Express accuses him of being Republican,
while frauduently obtaining Democratic votes
in his district, and hopes he will not be re-
elected speaker, The reasons the Express
gives are that Randall practically defeated
Iilden by his rulings in the house during the
presidential count, and allowed Robson to
escape punishment by getting certain patron
age in Philadelphia navy yards. The Express
concludes: 1.-The Democracy in various states
may be able to hold its own successfully IN
the future, but if it seeks renewed national
existence once more it will get rid of Its Ran
dalls at once and forever.

What the Bilious Require.

Since torpidity of the liver Is the chief
cause of its disorder, it is evident that
what the bilious require is an Alternative
stimulant which will rouse it to activity,
an affect that is followed by the disap-
pcarancc of the various symptoms indie
ative of its arrangements. Hostetter' S
Stomach Bitters invariably achieve the
primary result mentioned, besides rcmov-
ing the constipation, flatulence, heart
burn, ycllowness Of the skin and whites
OF the eyes, pain in the right side and UNI
der the right shoulder, nausea, vertigo
and sick headache, to which bilious inva-
lids are peculiarly subject. AS a remedy
for chronic indigestion, mental despond-
ency and nervousness the Bitters are
equally cflicacious, and as renovant of
lost vigor, a means Of arresting prema-
ture decay, and source Of relief from the
intirmities to which the gentler sex is
peculiarly subject, they may be thorough
ly relied upon.
