WHAT STAUNTON AND AUGUSTA ARE
DOING FOR THE YELLOW FEVER SUI
FEnERs-The Stonewall Brigade Band
gave another of their delightful concerts
on Tuesday night. at Masonic Hall for the
benefit of the afflicted southerners. The
programme was indeed a choice one and
the community showed their appreciation
of this object, and the efforts of the band
and those who so generously and ably as
sisted them by furnishing them with ano-
Their full house, The band was supported
by the best musical talent Of Staunton,
among whom were Profs. Ide, Kerber and
Hanaer, Mesdames W. l.. Bumgardner and
F. B. Berkeley; Misses Effie Stiff, Annie
S. Hardness, Cora a. Turner, Florence
NJ. Goyer, and Mr.. Chas. F. Porter. The

The proceeds amounted to sl08, 80, which
added to s163 the amount realized last
week foots up the handsome sum of $271 so
all of which was clear profit as the Masons
kindly rendered their hall and the printing
offices of the city furnished the printing
and several warm hearted colored men as
sisted gratuitously in moving the instru-
ments and arranging the hall and stage.
An expedient used in some other places
has been adopted to some extent here, that
of the mite box. We notice one in front
of W. L. Bumgardner 81 Co.'S store and
another at Levy Bros establishment. This
is good plan, as many persons can by this
means contribute small amount who do
not feel able to make any considerable do
nation.
Mayor Balthus has collected and for
warded since the first remittance $64.95,
which added to that, and the SIS contrib
uted by the Masonic Lodge, and the
Band makes the total contribution to date
sS76.5O. This compares favorably with
any city reported.
The Staunton Lodge, I. o. o. F.. No As,
last night contributed barrels of flour.
IN THE COUNTRY.
The committee appointed by Mayor Bal
this some ten days ago have requested a
number of gentlemen in the country to So
licit supplies to be forwarded to the South
VIA, the Baltimore and Ohio and Valley
roads this morning. This company will
collect provisions all along it's route and
send them by special train Our reporter
as he came up from Harrisonburg yester-
iterday evening, enquired at the different
stations and found that the rain which
fell steadily all day had prevented many
from sending in their contributions which
they had promised, in fact had interferred
so much with the collection, that hope
was expressed that another opportunity |
should be given the people in the county
to join in the contribution. Our reporter
however, found in the Harrisonburg depot
awaiting the provision train, 20 barrels Of
flour and a quantity Of potatoes. At Mt.
Crawford there were 6 barrels of flour, at
Mill Brook 3, at " eyer7s Cave and some
bacon, at Eft. Defiance, II barrels flour and
so pounds soap, Pleasant valley had So in
money and tWenty-one persons at Mt. Sid
ney had contributed, the amount could
not be ascertalned. MI, J. W. f. Allie
m0ng wrote from Bridgewater that if they
could have little more time and another
chance they could get car load there.
II would be well fur parties who wish to
contribute to hold themselves in readi-
ness as they will probably soon have ano-
ther opportunity to exercise their liberali-
ty in this direction. There seems no pros
pect of any early abatement of the disease
and distress
A STAUNTON MAE AT SEA IN A
SToRM.-Mr. c. A. Richardson reached
home last Saturday from the Paris Expo
sition. He reports having encountered
furious storm at sea. The ship lost its
bearings and was for several days in much

the vessel as fearful while the roaring
waves we're terrible IN their grandeur
The passengers wire confined TO thelf
