Ohurchville Affairs.

(Reported for the Staunton VINDICATOR.)
Great Loss of Pork.--We regret to state
that many of our people have killed their
hogs, for the knowledge of that fact makes
it obvious that there has been very great
loss of pork, though it appears to us as BE-
ing very great oversight on the part of
those who butchered during such weather
as we have been having. "What have you
done with your meat?' is a question we
hear put many times every day, and the
answers are varied.-SOme has entirely
spoiled, other is just beginning to spoil,
and that more recently butchered is re-
ceiving every attention, and every precau-
ton and preventive is being used, but it
is much to be feared that if the weather
continues warm all the efforts will prove
of no avail.
Attention, Road Master.-Some parts of
condition, but by immediate attention and
proper means could be put in good order
in a very short time, and at little or no
expense. We passed over this road short
time ago when our attention was called to
it, and since that time we have heard no
little complaint concerning it. Now we
are not aware whose duty it is to attend
to this matter, but we do know that some
one has control of it and it should be at
tended to at once. We hope this will be
sufficient on this subject.
New Goods.-Mr. H. II. Hanger has
within the past four days replenished his
stock of goods. By making frequent addi-
lions he always keeps on hand full line Of
all classes of merchandise and of the most
recent styles. He has informed us Of his
Intention to have full supply and assort-
ment of nice things for Christmas. MIR.
IL. is also acting as agent for the Virginia
Feed-cutter, which, by the way, is the
best and Eqost complete affair Of the kind
we have ever noticed, and as it is manu-
featured in our own county, we conceive
it to be the duty of all who are in want of
such MACHINE to purchase Of this coma
pany instead Of buying one of Northern
manufacture. But when will the people
of the South open theif eyes 70 their duty
in this reg pect
Probabilities. On Monday next, it the
weather is suitable, Or. Perry will leave
this place for peerield to return on Tues
day. Perchanes be may again encounter
a wild cat, and in the event he does, and
succeeds IN capturing 1t, he will most as
suredly bring the animal in with him, and
suspend it OH pole, where the eyes of all
the sceptics of the community can gaze
upon it.

erick county, Va, son of Gen. T. T..
Fauntleroy. of the United States Army.
and is brother of The recently elected
Secretary of the Commonwealth. He was
surgeon in the Confederate army and
had charge, we believe. of hospital at
Staunton. He early won distinction in
his profession, and will in the speciality he
now enters upon win new success.
DIR. Fauntleroy having previously re-
signed the position of President of the
Board of Directors, j. A. Waddell, Esq.
was elected to that position. All the old
officers of the Institution were reelected.
The Board adjourned at 10 O'Clock last
night after electing DR.. 2. L. Murphy Sd
Assistant Physician at a salary Of $1,000.

to reside. He has t or some time been as
sisting the medical staff at the Asylum
since the illness of DR.. Baldwin and has
proved himself admirably qualified for the
position he has been elected to.

should look carefully to these things,
and see that We are not behind. In
this way great deal Of suffering may
be avoided, and much good accom-
plished. Wipe out your leins. Avoid
them again if you can. Pay especial
attention to your stock, and see that
they are protected from the harshness
of winter. Try and bid the old year
adieu in better condition than you did
the last, and we feel assured that the
new one will be happier one to you.
Keep encouraged. and work hard, and

cash for, do without.

The Creps.-Their Results, and
What is Best to be Done.

We believe that a very wide range
and latitude is given to newspaper men
In their range as advisers. counsellors,
&C., and this being so, We venture, at
this important season Of the year, to
throw out a few suggestions. The
crops, as a general thing, are not up to
the high standard that they at one time
promised. Corn in many sections is a
failure, and cotton far behind. This,
with the heavy decline in the price of
our staple, makes thing very serious in
many instances, and every possible
remedy should now be employed to ar
rest the evil sequences of such a state
of affairs. In no way can it better be
done than By planting full crop of all
of the fall products. Oats, wheat, tur-
nips, &C., will all tend to tighten the
burden. and 10 the pinching months Of
May and june will come in US a grand

Our State Fair.

We are exceedingly gratifed at the
present outlook for our State fair. Our
people seem determined to make it
success, and from all quarters we learn
of the fatterlng outlook. This is en-
couraging. 1t is time for South Caro-
lima to show by her public exhibitions
what she is capable of, and in no wise
can she do this as we'll as at her annual
fair. The Northern and Northwestern
States pride themselves upon this great
gathering of their people, and it has
added much to the growth and wealth
of those States. Let US then do our all
to make it success, and let our people
turn out and meet each other. A friend
ly shake of the hand, a good strong grip
and an interchange Of views will do
much to dispel gloom and renew the old
feeling that used to exist in our State.
We trust that the turn out will be large,
and that the heavens may be propitiouS
for the occasion.

The Hired GOnvicts.

The sweet sounding melody from the
uersous who hired the State convicts
FROM the State penitentiary, is mock
err and sham. 1t is an absurd idea
to suppose that the enormous mortality
there reported could have occurred un-
less brutality and outrage were the Or
der of the day. We charge, without
fear Of contradiction, that the contrac-
tors of the Greenwood and Augusta
Railroad are responsible for this enor-
nifty. Upon recent visit to Oolum-
bia, we were credibly Informed that the
backs of these convicts we're in some
instances so lascerated that they were
as offensive to the olfactories as they
were to the eyes. This is a. shame.
We know that the penitentiary is q
place where sharp rigour should be ex-
srcised, and the convicts should learn
that it is to be no bed of roses; but
such acts as these are disgraceful, and
reflect upon our people no little dis
credit. We believe the directors of the
penitentiary to be innocent, but in Or
der to prove this, we call upon them to
show up this terrible disgrace. 1t is
now going the rounds, and in Justice to
we call fer an explanation.

Col. Butler and HIS Blood
Hounds.

Sometimes we are unable to form any
opiuion whatever Of human nature.
We see so much of it, in its true or
deformed state, we know not which,
that we are frequently befuddlsd. In
this connection, We are obliged to s1;
press our great indignation at Colonel
Butler's operations in New York.
Surely if this "to do that be is hatch
ing up is an index to his character, he
belongs to very low type Of mankind,
and in no wise displays the foul or
judgement Of the noble name that he
bears. We are glad that be is no kin
to our illustrious Senator. He is show
ing to the N.w York people what we
know nothing about-that is real pack
Of blood hounds; and We will even 90
further and venture the assertion that
ninety out of one hundred are totally
ignorant of this radical devise down
South. Of course he is panderiDg to
the lowest taste of the vulgar populace,
and at the same time catering to the
radicaia fanatics. We presume be Is
hired to do this dirty work, or he e1>
poets to make something out of it.
To say the least of it, he draws his
pleasures, if this be pleasure, from q
worry muddy cistern.
