JUDGE uENDREN's LAST COUET-DEATH OF A
VENERABLE LADY-GoOD WALK or A CEN
TEHAElAN-ISCE>DIAKY FIRE.
lCorrrspondcncG or The Richmond Dlsratch.l
DECEMBER 70, 1879.
Mrs. +. c. IIutchcns, Il SISTER or Hon.
John r. Harris, died in Rockhridge coun-
II, at the residence OF her son-in.law, Mr..
Henry Terrell, on tue nth instant. She
was seventy years old, a consistent member
Of the Baptist Church FOR many years, and
was buried at New Providence church.
Mrs. Sprouce, who, according to her
count, has rcnchcd the age OF one hundred
and Two years, walked one day last week
sixteen miles, from her home, near Esta-
line Furnace, to Fishcryille, on her
way TO visit her son, who lives near Ivy
depot, in Aibemarlc county. She was sent
on the remainder OF her Journey by some
kind people ut tishcrvillc, who bought her
seat on the cars. Her husband was one
o, the first soldiers drafted in the war OF
1912, and she lost three sons during that
war. T This last won't do. She was born
in III, and in 1872 was only thrty.tve
years old, and could not have had three
sons in that war.-W$patCh.]
The shoe-shop OF Jumes l.. Sutler, at
Swoop's dey0t, was dcstoycd by fire yes
tcrday morning about day. The fire IS
attributed 10 an incendiary.
Judge Hendrcn closed his last session OF
The County Coult on Tuesday. He has
served his county on the bench for ten
wears, and no county In the Commonwealth
has had II more efficient, able, and conscien-
tious judge than has Augusta In Judge
John n. 1cndrcn.
> The receipts OF the Moflett punch for No
ycmhcr in this city are reported at $77.56.
Large crowds Of people FROM the country
have been in the city this week, and the
>tauulon merchants say they have not seen
The holiday trade SO brisk for many years,
II ever before. PENN.

ONLY PART OF THE PRISONERS SURRENDER
ED-OURAY PLAYING GAME.
Los PINos, Coll, December "a, uia LAKE
CITY, December 26.-Ouray and the chiefs
selected to 60 to Washington came to the
agency yesterday, bringing with them only
a part OF the prisoners. General Hatch re-
fused to go unless all the prisoners were
surrendered. Ouray asked for and was
given five days more to deliver them. Gu
ray is either playing double game, or Is
unable to accomplish what he attempted.
The snow is from five to fifteen feet deep
on the range, and the General is compelled
to build sleigh in order to make the trip.
The success OF the commission is somewhat
doubtful, and the army may yet be called
upon to settle the question.
