STRAsBURG, VA, July 18th 1873,

K. LDllOh
Our citizens were en-
tertained very agreeably upon Thurs
day ana Friday evenings oflast week, lat
a yard-party gotten up for the benefit
Of the band by MIR. Jos. S. Hupp. TO
this gentleman the thanks of the band
and Of the community generally are
most cordially due for the disinterested
and persevering energy with which be
has exerted himself to procure the hand
some new instruments in the possession
of which our excellent band at present
rejoices.
The yard-party itself was all that the
most sanguine fancy could desire a
yard-party to be. Benches and little
tables for various refreshments were
scattered around the handsomely illuml-
mated grounds. Good music, pretty
girls, appreciative bcaux, light hearts
and kind words did all else that was
necessary to the enjoyment Of the
evening. The rain upon Thursday
prevented large numbers from attend
ing who would otherwise have been
present, but on Friday the attendance
was of GOOD. The receipts for the two
evenings were between forty and fifty
dollars. To this it is our hope and eX-
pectation ere long to add sufficient to
purchase attractive uniforms to ac-
company the new and shining musical
instruments having respect to that
principle which declares that at all
hazards the eternal fitness Of things"
should be preserved. WATCHMAN'

SUDDEN DEATH.-On last Friday
Mrs. Gen. John G. Meem was return
inc home from Mt. Jackson IN pony
phaeton and when ascending the hill at
MI. Airy, one Of the lines was switched
from her hand. Fearing that the horse
would become unmanageble and would
throw them down an embankment, she
put the children out. The younger one
was dropped so near, that one Of the
wheels ran over the child's foot. Mrs,
NJ. jumped out and picked up the young
er child. The older child, very inter-
esting little girl of about four years,
asked its mother whether the baby was
hurt, and almost Immediately remarked,
~ am so SICK" Mrs. Meem noticed
that the child appeared to be glddy. She
picked it up and carried it a short dis
lance and laid it upon the grass. The
child Immediately expired. Medical
aid was at once summoned, but life was
extinct. There was no bruise about
the child's body and the cause OF its
death will never be positively known.
Gen. Meem was IN New York at the
time and reached home on Saturday
afternoon. He accompanied the body
of his little daughter TO Lynchburg for
burial. In this sudden and severe
affection, the active sympathies OF the
entire community for the bereaved
mother and father have been aroused.

the close study which he gave to the affairs

TO bring to the Office of Mayor knowledge of

In the face OF increased taxation by the state

his successful financial measures, SO happily
lnaugorated, will be continued; if there are
abuses which require correction, tbev will be

that however excellent Mayor may be the
