The cases OF Z. A. Fupkhouser aud
A am Seibole, which were called before
L. ). Commissioner Bennett, were
both very properly disposed Of. Mr..
seibole's case was heard ler nearly two
days and the evidence amounted to
worse than nothing. He was promptly
discharged. Mr.. FunkhOuser's case
was then called and dismissed on motion
OF his counsel, after a stat ment from
the prosecution that there was no other
evidence than that which had been in
troduced in The Seibole case. The
evidence was not Only insufficient to
convict of any wrong, but tended to
vindcate the accused from every lmpu-
tation Of the charge brought against
them.

BRIDGE AT TIMBERvILLE.-The
citizens of Timberville and vicinity are
agltatlng the feasibility of throwing a
bridge over the North Branch of the
Shenandoah river at that point, with a
fair prospect Of the scheme being sue
cessful. A charter was procured some
time since and the formation OF a COM
pany temporarily delayed whilst wait
ing to have better public road facilities
on the North side Of the river. A bridge
at this point is an unQestionably great
public convenience and we trust that
the people Of that section will not rest
until the river Is spanned with a su bs-
tantial structure. - Rock. Register.

quite the entire population. provided

ARRESTED FOR PASSING COULTER
FELT MONEY There has been con-
siderable excitement in Harrsonburg
over the passage through that town,
during last week of "a couple Of parties
passing counterfeit money. Through a
letter received from Harrisonburg we
learn the following particulars. The
names Of the parties were jessie j.
Phillips of Barbour county w. Va, and
Nathan Huddle from below Winchester
married man, with two children. They
came across the mountain, on horse
back from Philippi, leaving their coun-
terfeit five dollar bills at all the country
stores, buying small bills Of from ten to
twenty-five cents. They left IN Har'
risonburg about 800. They only spent
one night at Harrisonburg and went
from there to Port Republic spreading
their counterfeit money as they went.
On last Thursday night they were
arrested at Earlysyille, Albermarle
county, Va, and were taken to Har-
risonburg on Friday by Mr.. Smith
sheriff Of Green county. aud two other
guards. They had large amount oil
counterfeit and good deal OF good
money. some IN gold and silver.
They will doubtless bctried very
soon as the United States District court
is now in session at Harrisonburg.
Huddle is said to be very much dis
tressed as he seems TO realize that tie
pepitentiary will be his doom. Phillips
is bold and wants witnesses summoned
and talks as if he ferred no one.
Huddle is SO years old, has black ha'r
and beard all over his face, and about
5ft inches in height.
Phillips has light hair and eyes and
m oustache, aged 81 years.--Speetat0r.

DISCHARGED. -alesses. Jos. and
Milton Rhodes who were arrested and
taken to Harrisonburg on the charge Of
violation Of the Internal Revenue laws
were discharged without trial and with
out even being permitted to make a
statement oil the case. When the facts
are fully known that these parties were
carried to Harrisonburg, notwithstand-
inc there was a United States Commits
sioner in the town Of " oodstOck, with
in four miles Of their residence, and a
small child. a son Of the deputy mar
shall acted as guard from the depot at
Harrisonburg, and that they were not
even examined before the L. S. Com
missioner, at Harrisonburg, although he
was IN the same house with them and
had been 10 the same room, and that the
United States pays for the services OF
Marshal aud his mileage from the town
OF HarrisOnb burg to Saumsville and back,
and for the services Of the small child
As a guard, at full fees, ii becomes very
evident that the United States should be
protected from officials who pretend to
rcvent VIC atiOms Of law. 1t would
not surprise Us. at all, if the United
states court would have a case
OF conspiracy to dslrand the gov
eumcnt brought to It's attention. -
Mr.. Rhodes is man that endeayers u
comply with the requirements Of ev-
cry law aud it is possible that he may
demand the iuil protection of the laws.
CoNVICTED.-J. {. Wheeler alias
Daniel Charge, colored, was tried in our
county court on last Tuesday on the
charge OF Bigamy. He was prosecuted
by Messrs. II. H. Riddleberger and
Lemuel Borden aud defended by Messrs.
G.. +. Newman and NJ. l.. Walton.
Messrs. Borden and Newman delivered
their maiden speeches in this case. Mr..
Borden was quite earnestin presenting
to the jury the gravity Of the offence
and urging upon Them the importance
Of Furnishing crimes of this nature. The
defence having no witnesses, Mr.
Newman's argument was principally
directed towards the weak points in the
case as made up by the prosecution.
The Jury found the prisoner guilty and
fixed his term Of imprisonment in the
penitentiary atsiX years and six months
The prisoner by attempting to assault
the sheriff. had acquired the reputation
of being a desperate character, and as
consequence was the recipient of but
little sympathy. When taken from the
Court House, he smilrnsly remarked
lit is nothing when man is used to it,
| can stand as much as any other man.
