FINE GROCERIES at G. A. RICHARDSON'S

a CoRREcr1oN.-In our notice last week Of
the Picnic at Christians Creek school-house,
the name of Miss Katie Bare was accidentally
omitted. To this young lady and Mr.. Thos. s.
Brooks is greatly due the success Of this enter
tainment, which was one of the most enjoyable
given in that neighborhood for many years.
We believe in giving ''honor to whom honor is
due" and hence make this correction and ex-
press our regrets for the accidental omission
made last week. It was, we are informed,
chiefly through the active exertions of the a.
bove named parties that the occasion was SO
enjoyable and successful.

THE GALLILEAN FIsHERMEN's EXCURSION
Flaming hand bills posted about our city Ior
weeks past announced that an excursion
train would be run from Staunton to Atlantic
city and return for the sum OF IS q ticket. Inls
excursion, we have been informed, was gotten
up by colored association called the Gallllean
Fishermen, and was to be the excursion OF the
season. A number of colored persons and sew
eral of our white citizens awaited themselves OF
the cheap fare offered and left here on last Mon
day night about 10 o'clock. When they reach
ed Washington they were informed that they
would have to pay &c additional to take them to
Atlantic city,
There was much indignation among the pas
sengers, but the railroad authorities were1ne4-
orable and the greenbacks had to be forked
over before the any further advance could be
made, consequently very few OF them reached
the terminus oftheir anticipated trip.
They returned home on last Friday evening
(glad to get back again) We have not learned
who is to blame for this affair, whether the rail-
road authorities or those who got up the excur'
sion. 1t, however seems really to have been tht
excursion of the season, but not in the sense.in
which it was advertised.
Since writing the above notice, we have been
informed by a member of the Lodge of Gallile-
an Fishermen, of Staunton, that they went
honestly into the excursion, paid their money,
! and worked to make the excursion q success
but found upon reaching Washington, that a
wrong had been committed by some one. who
they are not prepared to say Ibut they are desir-
GUS of letting the people who patronized them
know that If any cheating was done, 1t was moi
done by any of the Lodge here, nor did they
have any hand in it, aud do not know who are
the guilty parties, if guilty parties there were

lower case is solid walnut, with Carved Panels
and heavy Brackets. and is covered with an
ornamented Pipe Top, with three Gases of Up
right Pipes, tastefully embellished, and enclos-
cd by f1uted columns.-all of which give it q
handsome and beautiful appearance. In fact.
everything is in perfect taste. This organ has
four sets of Reeds, Sub Brass and IA stops. and
tEe tone is very SWEET and volume full 1t
would be an addition to any Church or Parlor.

HON. JOHN T. HARRIS. The Demo
cratic convention of the Seventh Con-
gressional district of Virginia having
declared it inexpedient to make non1i-
nation for Congress, the gentleman
whose name heads this article has de-
clared himself for re election, and, al
though be has several ogponents, from
information received from reliable
sources, we feel assured that his re cleo
| ton is certain.
Judge Harris has for a number of
years represented his district in Con-
gress, and we but express the sentiment
of all who have known of his career, in
pr0nouncing him one of the most eff :
cient and intelligent representatives.
The position which he has held on i'm
portant committees of the House is an
evidence of the fact that his ability is
properly appreciated. No representa-
tive has ever been more prompt and en-
ergetic in working for the interest Of his
constituents. His defeat would be a
great calamity Washington Gazette. .
