WINCHESTERIA.
BY RAMBLER.

We had the pleasure of seeing, few days
ago, the design for the Monument to the I'm.
known Dead, that is to be erected in Stone.
wall Cemetery, Winchester. 1t was made
by an Italian Artist, and if the work is exc.
cuted as perfectly as the design has been
conceived, it will be a worthy tribute to the
buried heroes. The base is to be of Virginia
granite, above this block of Italian mar
Bile, the carving upon which will be very ele-
CANT, bearing on one side the seal of the
Confederacy, and on tho other three the in
sigma of the different arms of the service.
From this shaft, and upon the shaft the
figure of Confederate soldier with his gun
at rest, keeping watch while the army of the
dead is sleeping. We learn that more money
| is needed, but know that it will be forth-
coming, as the grand old town of Winchcs-
ter can do ythipg that it puts its heart in.
For solid, il slow, progress, and for sub
stautialuess, we will put Winchester against
any town in the Valley.
We dropped in to see our old friends.
Berry & Manning, in Winchester, the other
day, and Notwithstanding that the drug team
| is four in hand, they seem to be driving
good trade. May they long add to the COM
| fort of their homes.
When we remember our County Court
system as we saw il in Martinsburg, where
three judges. twelve jurymen, four lawyers,
| aud any number of witnesses were engaged
for two days in trying a colored gentleman
for stealing an old pair of boots, worth prob>
ably seventy>fve cents, it is very refreshing
to drop into Justice Krebbs' Office aud hear
him sentence q thief to twenty five lasbes.
! sFifteen now, and next week, George, you
can come back and get the other ten" The
beauty Of friend Krebbs' system is that it
don I cost much, and that they never come
back for the balance. Why not try it in
| Charestown?
A rolling mill is to be added to the other
industries here, aud this, together with the
shoe factory, the glove factories. sumac
mill &C., give the people work, and help in
these hard times.
Twas here the people had their fill Of
| Sheridan, who went out unhonored, unwept,
aud is still, it is sad to say, unhung.
The boys in grey, who constitute the VIM
| chester Police, are handsome set of men,
and seem always to have an eye to business.
| The Southern Methodist Sabbath School
here-numbers over 400. The Superinten-
dant, iNr Denny-who BY the way was ore
Of Mark Twain's "Innocents Abroad" takes
gaeat interest in its development and growth.
The singing, as we heard it last Sabbath af-
| ternoon, was Just the sweetest and purest
we have ever listened to.
Apples of Gold in Pictures of Silver.
ga word fifty spoken is like apples of
gold in pictures OF silver" When the body
becomes diseased, the mind is thereby nec>
essariy Influenced. National wars, State
discussions, neighborhood broils and family
differences, are more frequently than other>
wise the result of diseased aud disordered
constitutions. When the body is suffering,
the mind, acting in sympathy. will become
irritated and perplexed. When the physi-
cal system is 10 health, the mind perceives
things in their true light, and the DISPOSE
ton assumes very different phase. Moths
| ing more directly tends to destroy the happy,
cheerful disposition of woman, and render
her peevish, nervous and frcttul, than con.
slant endurance of uterine disorders. The
| diseases peculiar to woman take away the
| elasticity and bouyancy of health and reduce
| her body and mind to a mere wreck. DIR.
| Pierce's Favorite Prescription is real pcnce>
maker in family. No woman suffering
| from uterine disorders can afford to be with,
out this remedy. The Favorite Prescription
saves unnecessary doctor bills prevents d.
vorces, wards off suicides. brings back
buoyant, joyous feelings restores the woman
to health, and her family to happiness. 1t
is sold by all druggists.
