DEATH OF MIR. GEO. W. CAMPBELL
A few days ago Mr.. W. E. Skeen, of this
city, received letter from his brother, DIR.
J. II. Campbell, OF Grenada, Miss, an
nouncing the death of his step-father, Mr..
Geo. W. Campbell, formerly of this place.
Mr.. Campbell had been stricken with yellow
fever. 1t was thought he had almost re-
covered, but a sudden change took place,
and death soon followed, which occurred on
the 18th inst. He was well known in this
community as an upright citizen and de-
voted christian. The warm sympathy man.
ifested in Staunton for the family of the de-
ceased, when the news first reached here of
the sad ravages of the disease in the town of
his residence, and the substantial testimonials
OF esteem which were forwarded from old &C
quain.ances, showed how deep hold he
had upon his old friends and associates. He
died as he had lived, christian without
quite.

Seven Elephant Railroad Show, it will be
borne In mind, IS to exhibit at Staunton
Monday next.
There will be grand street parade in the
morning. which our exchanges pronounce
magniicently attractive and marvelously
novel. Among the many hearty compli-
ments paid the exhibition by the Press of
the cities In which it has already appeared
this season, we find the following i n the
Steubenville, Ohio, Daily Herald.
''Sell's Great Seven Elephant Aggregation
was crowded on Saturday with delighted au-
diences both afternoon and evening. The
magnificence Of display has perhaps rarely
been equaled on the shores of either CONT
nent. The condition Of the enormous array
OF wild beasts, birds, etc., etc., was far SUI
perior to these of any similar aggregation
that has ever travelled through the West.
The arenic presentation won universal en-
comiums and the plaudits of thousands. It
was grand array of the splendors of the
Orient, the fierce beast OF the tropics and
1ungles, the curious birds OF thousand 70 r
ests and isles, and the best physical and
equestrian discipline among me n. The
management spared no efforts to make ev-
erybody happy, and will ever be welcomed

THE MT. SIDNEY ENTERTAINMENT
One of the most successful entertainments,
both financially and as an elegant display,
ever gotten up in the Valley, was held at
Mt. Sidney, last Tuesday night, for the BEN
eft of the Methodist church. 1t was lawn
party managed by the ladies of the vicinity,
and attended by people from Staunton and
miles around. Everything that woman's
ingenuity land taste could suggest was pro-
vided in abundance, and the general display
was surprisingly beautiful. The special at
fractions conspicuous among which was
the Stonewal Band, were too numerous to
be mentioned in detail, as they deserve, in
the limited space at our command. The
cake for the prettiest lady, was presented to
Miss M. Watson, in an appropriate address by
Mr.. P. A. Baylor, and that to the handsom
est man was received by Mr.. W. P. johnson,
with some interesting remarks ON mans
general loneliness. by Mr.. fE. M. Gushing.
Judge Harris was present and delivered
a short non-political address. Quite hand
some sum was realized.

for Congress now, are on the same platform.
Marshall Hanger, has been one of the very
few who favord and voted for an increass, / AT
plarse.] but your distinguished townsman,
Mr. Stuart, has uniformly voted against it.
[Applause.] The. speaker said he could re-
spect the men who declared against readjust-
ment and advocated raising the tax, but
when, like Fitz. Lee, they were opposed to
taxation and readiustment, equally and
alike, they were either ignorant or wilfully
cla1ed against increase of tax, and Holiday
was elected upon it, and was it honorable
for him to then turn? The speaker had voted
for every scheme for increasing the revenues
and retrenching, until the cry went up from
every portion of the Commonwealth that
the people could not bear greater burdens
and then he became a readjuster; and now
be held that the State should not and did not
intend to pay what it did not owe-interest
on interest and during the period of war.
The test question as to the ability of the
State came up in the last legislature and on
" ten in both houses voted for an increase.
Now some of them try to get around that
vote, by saying it was offered in a -demagog-
ical spirit. In other words they never
knew their mind until the opportunity is
passed.
When it was found what the condition OF
the State was, the Barbour Bill was passed.
[Mr. Allen, then gave detailed statement
OF that bill, defending its provisions.l
As to the increase necessary, he claimed
that ten cents would not begin to met the
demand nothing less than twenty-five cents
would be sufficient. If it was designed to
retire the arrearages, it would require an ad'
ditional tax Of at least fifty cents, for few
years. He estimated that the total deficit for
the fiscal year, ending Sept. 30,'7S to be mol
less than 81 ,300,0 900, and saidthat he believed
the liquor revenue would be greatly dimin'
ished, as both the dealers and temperance

Armed to the te eth and full Of determi-

last for a two days hunt, which they had
to their entire satisfaction. The party was
composed of Messrs j. K. K.dWethcrby, Dr..
Bigelow, and the well-knewn shot, Judge
Bowen. Their camping ground was about
fifteen miles down the river. The smiles
that illumincd the countcnances OF Mr..
Wetherby and Dr. Bigelow upon their re-
turn was c. nyincing evidence that they
had killed their first deer, and Mr.. Wcth-
crby in his frantic efforts to cut the ami
mal's throat, had cut his finger with his
unruly jack-knife to such an extent that
more shooting was useless DR.. Bige,ow
also killed his deer, but under better cir

Killed a prairie chicken, but was the best

he prepared beef:staak. bacon, onions and
