AFTER years OF constant application, some distin-
Sulsned physician has succeeded in compound
ing an agent by which the slightest ache may
be overcome, he has been hailed as q great
pene1act0r OF his race, and with great propriety
the world nave gladly sung pseans to his praise.
Ih1s being proper, in the discovery OF remedy
Tor q single disease. how much more indebted
are the whole human family to the inventor of
BAkER'S BITTERS, medicine that has stood
The test OF time, and proved o panacea for Dys-
pepsia, Diarrhoea, Cholera Morbus, Crarnp
Cholic, G1ddiness, Nervous Debility, Loss of APP

nostrums OF quacks and empires have flour
ished for an hour and then disappeared never
again to be revived.

or families in Virginia their only medicine

SHAM SURPRfsE.-Th forcbles affect
to have been taken by surprise by the
Governors veto of the Barbour bill.
This is the veriest sham ever attempted
to be palned upon 8 confiding public.
The real fact is that this Barbour bill
was drawn with view to veto.
What the foreible adiusters want is
not settlement of the debt question, but
its continued agitation.
1t is by this agitation alone, that they
enjoy political Life. It is their official
meat and drink, without which they
would perish.
What the "Hloody Shirt has been to
the Radical party this debt agitation is
to the forcible adjusters and regulators.
Therefore, it was that they taxed their
ingenuity and racksd their brains, to
devise bill that they knew the Cover
nor would veto, No other sort of a
bill would have suited their purpose

ITEMS AND OTHER NEWS.
SHERANDO. VA Feb 9Th 10

SHERANDO, VA, Feb. 18th, 1875.
E9a. Spactqsos- f--0n last Wednesday
morning the people of our village were
called from their repose at about $50 by
the alarm of fire. In thirty minutes af-
ter the first alarm, it seemed as though
the sun bad risen, so brightly shone the
burning building, which proved to be
the beautiful new mill of d. J. Hyden.
No human power would have amounted
to anything, for in less than an hour
from the discovery of the fire the mill
was heap OF ashes.
Mr.. Hydea's loss, by his own state
ment, is SIS 200, upon which there is $500
insurance in the e. Augusta M. I. Co.
on the building, and 81 600 in the Lynch-
burg Insurance and Ranking Cofnpany
on Eha machinery. The miller, Mr..
Woounian, who is also carpenter, lost
his entire set of carpenters tools, be-
sides his share OF the toll grain. which
he kept in the mill. A. NcCemb, VIM.
E. Grass, J. ID. Baisley, ID. M. Hyden,
James Mcdaniel, and others, lost grain.
The fire is suppGaeQ to nave been the
work OF an ineendiary.
Something remarkable is the fact that
the miller's wife dreamt in the last
month or so, not less than three times,
that the mill was on fire; and once, SO
deep was the impression of the drsam
that she jumped from her bad expect
lng 60 see it on ire. Another lady liz
the neighborhoOd also dreamt it, and
but night or two before the fire Mr..
Hyaen's daughter, who is at school in
your city, had similar dream. Hyden
himself was content in dreaming that
his Darn was ON fire. Sc y2a see there
is something ia dreams, Mr.. Editor
Nothing smaller than mountain could

growing Virginia-the Silurian, Devonian and
Carboniferous Ages of its growth-what hap
pened in each what rocks were made and how
they were made-ths life it supported and the
works that life has left to us-the mountain

what condition, and the treasures they conceal.
