DEATH OF MRS. HEBER KER-This cs-
timable lady breathed her last on Friday
morning, the 18th. inst, after a protracted
illness. Although the event was not unex-
pected, the al nouncement of her death
created a profound feeling OF sorrow through
out the community, for no one enjoyed to a
greater degree the love and esteem OF the
large circle of friends among whom she
moved. She bore her prolonged sickness
with true christian patience and resigna-
ton, and met the final summons with
composure born of an abiding faith in the
atonement Of the Cross. She had been many
years consistent member of the Methodist
Church, and exemplilied the graces of reli-
gion in all the relations OF life. The SYM
pathies OF the community have been deeply
stirred for the afflicted family.

SHUCKs.-A car load Of balled shucks
was received the other day by the Deaf and
Dumb and Blind Institution from Rich
mond for which was paid GO cents per loo
lbs. This ought not to be 80. If our farm
ers would save their sliucks they could find
a ready market for them. We do not know
whether it would be more profitable to feed
or sell them. We know it is the habit OF
some of our best farmers to feed all their
roughness, and probably this is as iudicious
as any other disposition of it. There are,
however, a great many shucks and great
deal OF straw wasted, which could be sold
in Staunton, and bailed for market. The
Steward of the Institution could not get a
supply Of shucks in the county for the Mat
tress Factory, and had to order from
Richmond. We should aim TO keep all the
money we can in the county, and to convert
into active values everything produced OH
the farm. 1t is the saving OF the odds and
ends which places the farmer in an indepen-
dent financial condition.

HARD ON WINCHESTER.-A negro boy.
aged between twelve and fifteen years, was
recently convicted Of stealing a horse in
Frederick county, Va, and sentenced TO
eight years in the Penitentiary. A gentle
man was on the cars and conversed with him
as he was on his way to Richmond. Me
stoutly denied he had stolen the horse, but
did not object to going to Richmond. In fact
he said. it was great deal better for HIM to,
go there and learn good trade than to be
loafing about so bad place as Winchester,
and as between going to the Penitcntiary
for eight years, with the advantages he would
have OF improving himself morally and in
the arts, or remain in Winchester that long
surrounded by evil associates, he much pre-
fered the Pententiary. He seemed to ac-
cept the situation checrfnlly, and was graft
fed that he had escaped the communicating
influences about Winchester. This is rather
hard on our sister city Of the Valley.

PUBLIc pEBr sTATEMENT.

HAYEs's Secretary Of the Treasury,
John Sherman, is evidently alarmed at
the effect on the people before election
of the increase of the bonded coin debt,
which comes from his accumulation for
resumption purposes and hence he has
stopped operations in that line. for the
present. The public debt statement for
the month Of September, just out, shows
the bonded coin debt 10 be $l,8lS, ,261,-
$50 In March, 1867, when Sherman
became Secretary Of the Treasury, the
dett stood at 81 ,696 ,5975OO, showing an
increase in nineteen months of over one
hundred and twenty millions of dollaa
but we observe that the September, az
compared with the August statement,
shows there was decrease in the bond
ed debt of $40S,950 during the month.
Still, increasing the bonded interest
bearing debt over one hundred and
twenty millions in nineteen months is
doing pretty well, even for John Sher-
man.
