THE DRoUTH.- The New Market Vallev
of last week, mentions the fact that water
is now selling in that place at from ten to
twenty cents per barrel, thing never heard
of before in that locality. In Harrisonburg,
4 gentleman informed us that his water cost
him from 50 to SO per week. Nearly all the
cisterns and wells in the town are dry, and
The t'Big Spring." the standard source OF
supply,s weakening very much. For miles
around the town persons come to the spring
with barrels to supply their family wants,
and drive their stock to that place to be
watered. Throughout the entire Valley
many OF the streams have dried up, and
others are so much reduced, that the oper-
atoms of the mills are seriously interfered
with. This is a fearful condition of things.
which extends not only over this State, but
prevails in almost every portion of the
Union. Since last June very little water
has fallen in this portion of Virginia. For
week or ten days the weather had been
warm, until Monday night, when good rain
came. Much injury has been done to the
wheat, and unless we have more favorable
season, the damage will be irreparable.

FATAL INJURIES.-On Sunday morning
was coming east, and when on the down
grade just west Of town, Mr.. Geo. Turner,
brakesman, in attempting to turn the
brake, wrenched the handle from its shaft,
and was thrown from the top of the car
down an embankment, breaking his leg and
collar bone and otherwise injuring himself
internally. He was brought to Staunton
and surgical attention rendered by Drs.
Gibson and McChesney, but it was found
impossible to save his life. He died Monday
morning.
Mr.. Turner was young man, twenty odd
years of age, and great favorite with those

DEATH OF Miss VIRGINIA PAULINE
learn from the last Bridge~ater Journal,
that Miss Virginia Paul, daughter of the late
Peter Paul Esq, and sister Uf Capt. John
Paul Of Harrisonburg, died at The residence
OF her mother near Ottobine, In Rockingham
county, ON the l4dh, of consumption. Miss
Paul was young lady of fine mental train
ing, rare intellectual gifts, aud great excel
lence of character. Few ladies combined
more true womanly virtues, or whose moral
and mental forces we're more carefully
schooled and developed. 1t is truly sad to
realize that one so young, and yet SO capa-
BILE of usefulness, has been cut down in the
very bloom OF wonanhood. We sincerely
sympatIize with her sorely tried mother,

THE ALARM OF FIRE sounded on Tnes-

foul chimney at the residence of Mr.. Jno. B..
Hoee, on north New Street. A wardrobe
in the house also caught from hole in the
chimney, and at one time considerable
conflagration was threatened, but the neigh
bors succeeded in extinguishing the flames
before any great damage was done. The

commended the erection Of a dam across the

the creek, which was agreed to.

which have greeted the company
this week have been large and ap-
preciative. There is q newness in
the songs and jokes Of the enter

nowadays in minstrelsy. Among
the few old things done by the
company are Barlow's "Old Negro
Specialities," which the public de-
mand. We have now on our desk
several inquiries whether he will
give sod Black Joe" tonight, aud
take pleasure in answering he will.
1t is one of his most artistic pic

Expensive Po!iteness.
From Peck's SUM-

From Peck's Sup.l
1t is q critical moment ia the
life and clothing of a man when he
gets down on his hands and knees
to look under the sofa for ball of
zephyr that lady friend has
dropped. 1t is possible that he
may be able to accomplish this and
recover his equilibrium with moth
ing more serious than a very red
face and general sense of having
done something for which he
should be sent from the room. But
in nineScases out of ten he never
fully rscovers the good opinion of
himself that he possessed before he
undertook the recovery Of that
ball. 1t is always just beyond his
reach, and in a moment of weak
ness he drops on his vest and COM
mences to work himself under the
sofa by series of acrobatic feats
that would have won him an en-
core on the stage. He is so intent
upon the recovery of that ball that
he quite forgets his appearance
until he is reminded by Is sup
pressed litter from one of the la.
dies. Then he realizes the situs-
tion and commences to back out.
or course his coat is worked up
over his head, and as he feels
cold streak creep up his back he
pronounces a henediction on the
man who invented an open-back
shirt. He is also painfully con.
scious that about two inches of red
flannel drawers are visible between
the tops of his boots and the bot
tom Of his trousers. This has the
effect of producing more internal
profanity and still more violent
struggles to back out, during which
one suspender breaks and his col
lar-button comes out. When he
finally delivers himself and stands
up in the middle of the room, you
would not recognize in that red.
faced, wild-eyed man standing
there holding his clothes together
with one hand and trying to
smooth down his hair with the
other, the smiling, genteel ladies'
man who stopped down to pick up
that ball of zephyra moment be-
fore.
