Remaining in The Hospital October l.,

Admitted since, 81 males. "a females; total,
SIS. Whole number, 257 males, 2ls females;
grand total, 40. Discharged. 80 males, 20
females; total discharged, SO. Number re-
manning September 80, 1879; .2ls males,
1913 females; total, All. OF this number 8
males IL females arc colored. The highest
number treated during tie year was Ais /;
the lowest 4o7; and the daily average 411.o7.
The cost for keeping the patients, including
all expenses for clothing, food. fuel, salaries,
wages of employees, medicines, &C., is the
very low sum of S2.0S Sc week for each
patient. There is, perhaps, not another Hos
pital in the country that can make as favoras
bic showing, which is certainly very fat
tering to its management.

BULLDOZING.

Bulldozing affects northern Republican
journals differently according TO the source
from which it emanates. If reported from
the South great howl is set up; but if, as
has just been the case, high Republican
official Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
Raum,) endorsed by the President and Sec
rotary of the Treasury, sends oat his edict
that officers in his department in Virginia
shall not express sentinents in certain way
on purely local question in that State, We
hear no cry of "bulldozius" from our good
Republican friends. Some other body's COX
is gored" now.

The store>room and dwelling opposite the

to the Mutton estate, was sold at auction last
week to DR.. W. S. Love, for $1,000.
Mr.. James Fl. Kemp, of this city, and

railroad, has resigned his position and gone
to South Carolina, to engage in railroading
on the S. G. railroad, of which Captain J. II.
Averill is the leading spirit
CAPTAIN L. P. DANDr1DGE.-Tbe Mers
is in error in speaking of our candidate as
Colonel cambridge. His real, war title was
that of Captain. Mr., cambridge shouldered
his muskct at the breaking out of the war,
and enlisted as private in Company D, 2nd
Virginia Regiment of the Stonewall Brigade.
At the FIRST battle of Manassas he was dis
abled for infantry service By severe wound
in the foot, and was afterwards promoted to
the rank of Captain upon the STAFF of Gen.
VIM. N. Pendlcton, who commanded the
Reserve Artillery of the Army of Northern
Virginia. And We may add that he was as
true and gallant in war as he has shown him
self to be modest and deserving in peace.
Virginia has no more faithful and devoted
son within her borders than Captain E. P.
cambridge. The people of Frederick can
safely oonhde their representative trust to
his keeping.

q WAsUINGreHIAN Suor IN WEST V1R-
TGffN1A.-1hdrtinsLurg W. "a, October rs,
1879 Marshall Steel, young man aged
81 years, who halls from Washington, and
formerly from IIocXyIr1e, nIary taudi has uuou
employed for the last month by Jacob
Swartz, who has charge of a Touring mill in
this city belonging to George W. Lamon.
Steel was permitted to sleep in the mill,
doing odd jobs for the privilege. There uro
three others employed in the mill, William
Lsmon, son of the proprietor, Seamoro
Bowling and Joseph Wclty. It seems that
these parties had gotten tired of Steele's
presence about the mill. They therefore de,
termined to brighten Steel off. About IL
o'clock last nigh. Wclty came into the mill
room where Bowling and Steel were sleeping
and shouted that some one had broken into
the building, and Welty fired pistol in the
direction of Steel, loaded with, blank car
fridge. Steel, much frightened, ran out of
tho mill, and just as he made his exit an
other shot was fred aud he fell, wounded
desperately in the abdomen and leg aud SUBJ
sequently it turned out that LamOn had fred
the fatal shot from double barreled shot>
gun. Steel was picked up by some persons
who happened to be passing and carried to
the Continental Hotel, where he now lies in
q very critical condition, little hopes being
entertained by his physician of his recovery.
Justice Wilen took Steele's ante>mortem de-
position this morning, and il. Charges Lamon
with doing the shooting, and also duplicates
Bowling and Welty as accessories. Lamon
gave himself into tho hands of the sheriff
this morning and was admitted to bail for his
appearance before the next grand jury.
