ALL ABOUT A DoG.-A few weeks
since, Mr.. John Funkhouser, of the
Branch Mountain tooka dog from its
rlghtful owner. A short time thereafter
the owner found out the whereabouts OF
the aforesaid dog" and set some OF
the children after it. This very much
enraged the aforesaid John, who took
down his shotgun and commenced a
general Smelling, at long range, OF the
captors of the dog. The other side
made good time for home and armlng
themselves, proceeded to meet the foe
when general skirmsh ensued. The
shot ratified thick aud fast, but the
range was too great, and no damage
resulted. John retreated however, TO
Shenandoah, where he has determined
to make stand. At last accounts all
was quiet ION the Shenandoah. "

PAsTORAL.--The people Of our town,
and especially the members Of the
Presbyterian Church, were much graft
fed on last Sunday morning to hear
that Rev. r. II. Fleming has declined
to accept the call rendered him from
Tennessee, but will remain as pastor Of
the Presbyterian church here. Mr.. +,
is an active young minister and would
be much missed in our town. The
esteem in which he is held by the MEM
bers of his own congregation was fully
shown by a meeting held at the church
on last Thursday night after the close
OF the regular prayer meeting, at which
time a series of resolutions expressive
of the esteem and confidence of the
people in their dear pastor, were adop-
ted by unanimous vote of those
present, and many and loud were the
objections raised by the officers of the
church to his departure. I'VE can only
hope that the work of this efficient man
may be even more prosperous in the
future than it has in the past, and may
the work Of the Lord prosper in his
hand.
