Last Friday night. at Association Hall,
the discussion of the the question whit cher

thugs: Faith, repentance, change of &C
ton. The preacher then referred in touch
ing terms to the triumphant death of a
Christian lady and drifted, naturally
enough, into the subject of baptism. His
opinions touching infant baptism are very
decided. Shall we risk risk it? Oh! beg
you, don't risk it. Upon our Faith and
Repentance shall we be baptised. If am

Their catechism as 1 view it, proclaims
baptism without Faith and Repentance

from the bible; well they must have taken
it from the bible as do not believe it is
there now.

Vertigo as a Sure Cure.

man wants to be widow you know"

to Pettlngill about cures for anything.
ga sure cure for Elenora's temper you

and here Pettlngill gave such wicked
wink that it was awful to behold. 'Come
round some night and see nae get her."
We called Tuesday night. Mrs. P. wasn't
in good humor-perhaps Lent was too
much for her, and old Pet had forgotten to
bring home four out Of the five things she
had given him memorandum of.
ST does seem to me,'' SAID that long
suffering woman, THAT if anybody was to
ask me as simple thing as that l shouldn't
forget it." Her voice was gradually get
ting louder.
II brought the only thing thought you
really wanted" said.Pettingill. giving a
a wicked leer out Of one corner of his eye
as if he should say, ''Now for it. keep your
eye on me-"
''Oh, of course [ didn't want the worsted,
and of course I could do very well without
my shoe and of course nobody would sup
pose wanted you to buy the cakes for tea,
and of course
Pettingill gavehis eyes couple of twists
and put his hand on his stomach.
''Oh, Charles what is the matter?''i
"My dear, said Pettingill, in death like
voice, II am stone blind--this vertigo" and
here he gave lurch as if he was aiming
to roll under the stove. Mrs. P. tore out of
the room and tore back with whole apoth-
ecary shop. When old Pet had revived
from the jaws Of the tomb everything was
sweet and lovely to the last degree, and we
believe if he hadn't brought single bun
die home it would have been all right. The
evening was delightful.
Ferguson" said old Pet solemnly, as
we were smoking after Mrs. P. had gone
up stairs ''if you ever get married you'll
send me ten dollars for this. Its sure
cure.''

The Railroad Employees Of Staunton.

A gentleman who had conversation
with the General Superintendent of the c.

informed by that officer that on or about
the first of April the arrangement of the
freight trains will be such that forty crews
of five men each, will reside in Staunton.
There will be twenty engines run which
as they pass through Staunton will change
crews, thus keeping two hundred men
here. There will be no change in the pas
senger trains, which is an economical
measure by the company that saves three
engines,

"The Little Sisters. y

On Wednesday, the Goth Feb, a COM
pany of little girls, all under fourteen years
of age, met in the lecture room of the list
Presbyterian Church, where they were Or
ganized into missionary society, under
the name of 'The Little Sisters" 1t was
determined that they would raise funds to
educate little girl in China under the
care of the Presbyterian Mission there. It
was at first proposed that each one should
try and earn at least five cents a month,
by some act of self-denial, or good be-
havior at home, such as early rising and
dressing quickly, or practicing the music
lesson without grumbling, or helping
mama in some way at home. But the
little ladies were not satisfied with this.
The older ones set to work, making candy,
cakes, &c., few of them could make
dolls clothes with very little assistance,
and they have succeeded in raising articles
for little sale every week, by which they
have realized in less than five weeks SIS.
We hope these little ones will not weary
in well-doing. Children must be doing
something, and if we can right
ly direct and regulate their energies and
enthusiasm, great deal can be accom-
plished through their inst rumentality.

Statistics of the Mofett Punch in Staunte n.

We give below the official statistics on
record of the receipts from the Moffett
Punch for the five months it has been in
operation in Staunton. The decrease in
registration is startling-the returns for
February being not one half of those of the
first month. We publish merely the figures,
without the names of the license-holders,
that no mans private business may be
given unnecessary publicity. Staunton is
estimated by the State Auditor, for one
year to yield from the register $7,O25 70
at the present rate it will only yield about
one-half that.
