MEssRs EDITORS.

MESSRS EDITORS.
| have read with some
interest the communications in YOU
paper in reference to the improvement
of the streets. 1t has been matter o.
surprise 10 me that town as well LAID
of as Woodstock, with Main Street
sixty or seventy feet in width, with
cross streets wider than the principal
business streets Of Baltimore, with all
abundance of material at hand, should
for years have side walks that are real
ly dangerous. A stranger cannot pass
on the sidewalks from one end Of town
to the other after night without running
the risk of breaking his limbs or neck.
In convcrsing with a number Of the citi.
zens Of the place, find almost every
one in favor Of the Improvement, and
when ask why it is not made. they
tell me the town council will not ACT.
If enquire whether the town council
are opposed to it, they tell me they are
not, but that they are waiting. Will
the town council inform US whether they
propose to make the Improvement :
Let it be authoritative. Give us the
opportunity Of replying TO the people OF
Edinburg and Mt. Jackson, when they
inquire about the health Of our side
walks. II the present town council are
opposed to the improvement, let them
say 50. If they are in favor Of it, let
them act. If they can't eat the hay,
let them give way to those who will eat
it. An election, am Uniformed, will
be held in Nay. Ifno action be taken
before that time, lot it be made an issue.
| am prepared to vote for any man who
is in favor Of paving Main street from
one end of town to the other and OF
making such improvements as the
County has the right to expect OF its
County Seat.

LOST TREASURE. In tearing up All
old porch. in rear OF Wilson's Hotel, in
this place, Mr.. W. l.. Dosh found six
dollars and thirty eight cents in coiu.
There were three gold dollars, 1 silver
half dollars and the balance in live aud
ten cent pieces. The family that Inv, d
tho hotel in 1864, had very trusty col
ored BOY named Tom. Such was the
confidence placed in Tom, that, on one
occasion. when the Federal Cavalry
made a sudden dash on the town, to him
was entrusted for concealment. two
hundred dollars in gold belonging To Mr..
Keiger of Winchester, a gold watch ana
chain belonging TO Lieut.. Merrick ofthe
Maryland Cavalry Battalion, gold
bracelet and some jewelry. Tom, as
was natural, had a desire for freedom
and without giving notice left his old
home and fosnd a secure place in rear
OF the Federal lines. He afterwards
sent word back where the money,
watch, bracelets, &C., were concealed,
aud with the same messenger sent
word that he had hid his own money
under the back porch. The
money, belonging to Mr. Kleger, watch,
bracelets &C., were recovered, but
TOMS money not being easily found, 1t
was thought that Tom as was natural
had taken his loose change with him.
tie has never returned, and as fourteen
years have passed it is not probable
that he will come back to hunt for his
hidden treasure.

MORE BARNS BURNED Not since
the carrying out Of Grants orders TO
Sheridan, in the infamous dispatch to
lay waste with fire portion OF this
beloved valley, so that a crow if flying
over 1t would have to carry his ratlons,
was there ever such a fearful day at
Linville as on Friday last. That morn
ing the wind was blowing fair March
gale. when about the hour Of 10 o'clock
kitchen belonging to Gideon Kratzer.
ESQ.,, accidently took fire and in few
moments was wrapt in flames. The
kitchen stood few feet from the main
building, and this with the fact that the
wind was blowing from the west ensur-
ed the safety Of Mr.. Kraizer's dwelling.
Some fodder stacks were between
shed and the barn, which soon took
fire, and then the barn, all Of which
burned with fearful rapidity, and the
neighbors who FASTENED in large num-
bers to MIR. KS assistance could rem
der but little aid in extinguishing the
flames, but turning their attention to
the agricultural implements and mschln-
cry that was in the barn, succeeded in
carrying these to place of safety.
One-fourth Of mile further east is
the residence Of Col. L. Sipe, who.
when the fire broke out at Mr.. Kratzer's
fastened with his entire available force
to assist his neighbOr, and was there
doing manful duty. While thus engaged
what was his horror in glanclng toward
his own premises to find that his barn.
which stood about 60 yards east OF bis
store and dwelling was on fire. Sell
preservation being the first law OF
nature, Col. Sipe could not do other than
hasten to extnguish the flames on his
swn premises, and in this move he was
followed by others, the neighbors
dividing. When Col. Sipe and party
reached his barn all that could be done
vas to first save Col. Sipe's stock aud
farm implements, and then prevent the
fire from spreading TO the buildings OF
Elias Emps Siler, near by. 10 secure
buckets it WAS necessary to enter the
store of Mr.. Slpe. aud the key beins
mislaid Col. 5. forced an entrance hini-
self, and throwing out his entire stock
OF buckets. which were soon In eager
hands, aud to this fact may be attributed
the saving of Mr.. Enpswiler's premises
and the further serious damage by fire.
Later the tire spread to other premises
but the timely arrival Of fresh help aud
the heroic exeruons of men. women
and children, who all did manful duty,
in carrying water, tearing down iencins,
&C., he ire was kept within bounds III
the woods lying between Messrs. Z. ).
and D. Z. Ragans and Daniel Brena-
mans and others, and was finally en-
tirely conquered.
Mr.. Kratzer's loss is from 81 900 to
$1,000; Col. Sipe's from $500 to 800.
The former was not insured, Nr. X.
having failed TO renew his insurance IN
the West Rock'm Mutual, which ex-
pired but few days previously. Sipe's
barn was insured in the same company
Tor $500. Had the stone and dwelling
of Col. S. taken fire, which was in im-
minvnt danger for several hours from
flying bits Of fodder, hay, shingles, &c'
that were waited from the Kratzer tire,
the loss would have been heavy
