After reaching home he requested his
daughter to read the paper for him. AT
bed time he remarked that he did not
feel sleepy. He however prepared Tor
bed and was sitting by the stove when
he suddenly complained ofsome strange
affection and on endeavoring TO raise
his arm he was unable to move it. A
physician was hastily summoned, but
he continued to fail and soon became
unconscious. He fingered until 4 A,
N. at which hour, he passed away. His
funeral serm on was preached by Rev.

zens with establishment. Many persons
had met and talked with him in the
evening and believed him to be in the
enjoyment ofperfect health, but before
sunrise he was cold and dead. To his
family he was kind, affectionate and
loving. Here the blow fell with almost
heart rending severity. He leaves q

The Bloody SHIRT
STRAsBURG, VA, Dec. l3, 1875

STRAsBURG, ,VAl Dec. l3, 1879.
III. Editor
The ancient town OF Slras-
burg has always. been noted for the
peaceable disposition, and orderly con-
duct of its inhabitants. You will there
fore no doubt be surprised to learn that
the bloody shirt has been increasingly
waving here for month and from
present indications viii continue to do
so for some weeks to come. Hundreds
have already fallen as victims in the
bloody truggle. At present there Is
no evidence Of any abatement in this
murderous work and the agonizlng
groans ofthe dying may be heard at
every corner of our once quiet streets.
The prominent man OF the times IS
(not the silent mau, nor the coming
man, butt the muscular John IL. sCrider'
the veritable head butcher Of Shenan-
doah county. The momentous inquIr-
nv on every tongue is, have YOU seen
Order TO day, aud where will l find
him? His dextority IN piercing the
iugular of porkcr is amazing, and the
removal OF the vscera, but the work oil
a moment whilst the neatly trimmed
hams, shoulders and sides attest his
anatomical science, and surgical skill,
and prove that he IS workman that
needeth not be ashamed.
Mr.. Editor, you most probably have
read Of Heliog abalus, and his pencdani
for the brains of the ostrich and OF the
fondness of the pig tail natien for the
glutinous nests of particular species Of
BIRDS, as choice articles Of diet; but
what are tie dainty dishes OF Roman
Emperor, or the heather Chinee, when
compared with the. savory sausaGesr
buildings and-lne hams, manipulated
aud compounded by the artistic an'
irrepressible Order. As an abiding
friend, and patron. ws "baye our bar
ner on the outer wall" whilst we cal
hurrah for Cridcr; and put him against
the world and most especially the re-
adjusters. AiLos'
