A SIGN OF THE REvlvING TIMES As
another sign that the times are improving
in thi community as well as elsewhere :.
we may state that Messrs. Elder s. Nelson
contemplate resuming the business of real
estate agents at an early day. These gen.
tlemen, in connection with the late Capt.
Orlando Smith, once did an active bust
ness in this line, from which much beae-
fit resulted to the community. The
business was continued for some time at
ter Capt. Smiths death, but was finally
abandoned on account of the great depres-
sion in business which followed the panic
of 1873. Mr.. Nelson is native OF Angus
ia, and was for some years successful
farmer in the county. Since the war he
has resided in the city, and has had unu-
sual ,portunities for becoming acquain-
ted with city property. There are but few
men better acquainted with the real estate
of the city and surrounding country than
be is. We are glad 10 learn FROM these
gentlemen that there is some inquiry from
abroad ~ to property in this region.

Death Of a Queer Character.

oOlore,i man. better known perhaps than
any other in the city, died at the residence
of VIM. A Burnett, ESQ.,. County Clerk,
in West End, which has been his home for
over year. He was a harmless monoma-
MAC and his delusion was that he was a
millionaire and owned the railroads, banks
and property generally in and around
fSlaunton. 1t was a delusion which never
left him, and in his dying moments. though

from Dyer's attacks and the grave Judges

Schiller's Song Of the Bell.n

The preparations going on for the rem
dering of the ''Song of the Bell,'' with the
music composed by Pro. Ide, promise to
make the entertainment one that has not
been excelled in interest in Staunton. All
of the best vocal and instrumental musical
talent in the city, has been enlisted for
the rendering. and to its public perfor-
nance has been added, ,as will be seen by
the following correspondence, purpose
which will appeal to all:

The Murderer Captured in the Blue Ridge
Tunnel.

Albert Mitchell, the condemned murder
er who escaped from Louisa county jail,
and whose foot was amputated by DR.. Glib
son, OF Staunton, y few days ago, is safely
in his old quarters. He says when he es-
capped at night, he went to Gordonsville,
where he bought himself snack with six
ty cents he had; thence to Stanardsvile,
thence to Luray c. H., ana worked three
weeks on the Shenandoah Valley Railroad,
and cleared ten dollars; thence to Front
Royal, thence TO Strasburg, Woodstock,
Mt. Jackson, Harrisonburg. and thence to
Staunton. where Re remained several days.
but. thinking he was recognized by seve-
raj whites and blacks, he jumped trains and
started for Louisa county. aiming to get
there in the night, wishing to $50 his
mother, after which he was going far
South. While on freight train coming
through the Blue Ridge tunnel, brake
man saw Albert, and started to him with
an iron pin in his hand, but seeing the
danger of jump, said, /: ''Don't get off,"
but, fearing arrest, Albert had gotten too
far, and. striking bank. was thrown I'M
der the train. The train nearly passed
over his head. and did crush his right an
kle entirely off.
Mitchell now accuses two other men
(who have been arrested) of being with
him at the murder Of Mr.. G. H. Walton,
and the robbing and burning of the store
He says that he stood guard while the 9th
or two went in the store and committed
the deed; heard the scufi1e, and was joined
by the parties with the money and goods
when they had committed The 6endish
deed; that they had three hundred dollars
in greenbacks and seventy-fve dollars in
silver; that he was given small portion,
and was threatened with his life if he re-
vealed the crime; states the articles OF
goods brought out of the store-compris-
ed boots, bed-ticklng. &c-and that they
were deposited in certain hollow trees
(which we're found to be at the identical
spot described by him). and that the mon
ey was hid under rails of q certain cow
pen; that Price rode to store in Hano-
,ver to spend the money; that he (Mitchel)
" rs going to marry Prices daughter, and
tha,t the want Of money to get up we'd
dinly frolic was the origin of the crime,

Business CHANGES.

The e'Star' Clothing House. which grew
into such popular favor during the last
four years while located on the corner of
New and Court House streets, opposite the
Virginia Hotel, is now moved up street to
No. S. New Street. This is one of the best
locations in the city. being the nearest
clothing house to Main street. Mr.. Louis
Cohen and Mr.. Julius Switzer, the propri-
etors of this establishment, are experience
ed clothiers. who know how to get custom
and hold it. They have large and attrac-
tive stock and Mr.. Cohen is now in New
York buying for the Spring trade. He will
return next week.
B. Oberdorfer & Son, is a new clothing
firm, who will, on the 1st day Of April,

ming to arrive at the popular and we'll
known August Clothing Hall. The gen.
tlemen of this ne W concern are well known

their past success argues well for the pep

operation with fsttering prospects. The
firm have every advantage Ia purchasing,

cheapness of his goods let him call and TX

DR.. Carter Berkeley, as will be seen in
another column, has been appointed agent
for the Maryland Life Insurance Compa-
ny. AS good a company as this deserves
good man to represent. it. and in securing
DIR. Berkeley. the Company has one Of the
best posted men upon life insurance in
Virginia and one of the most successful
workers that we have ever met with. The
presentation of the Company's condition
and leading features is attractive to men
interested in life insurance, and will be
seen elsewhere in this paper.

ROOM FOR THE MIL1TARY.-TheC oun-
Gil being offered good rent for the room

have very properly rented it out. But
now some place must be furnished for the

history of every city when every citizen
would give all he is worth to know that at
that moment there were drawn up in the
streets hundred armed, diseipii4ea, yell

and order. To have these men in disor-

Final Adjournment Of the Debating Society.


Last Saturday night. at half past eight
O'Clock, in the hall of the Young Mems
Christian Association. being in vigorous
health and of average sound mind died by
its own hand, the Staunton Debating So
ciety. This sudden demise was unexpect-
ed to many friends who had not anticipa-
ted the end was so near, though there
were unmistakable indications of early
dissolution. But it were better thus that
this popular member of Staunton winter
society should have died while in the
prime of hale and hearty life and with its
own dagger in its bosom. that to meet a
lingering death from the neglect of its
friends. AS it is, being a good healthy
corpse, there is every reason to expect,
when the frost comes again, a glorious
resurrection.
A large and choice audience, many of
whom were ladies, were present at the fu-
neral Saturday night There was also
considerably more than quorum of the
members in attendance. A statement of
the finances was called for and the treas
urer reported IL cents in the treasury with
small outstanding Indebtedness. An as
sessment to meet this was unanimously
ordered
Mr.. Robertson's resolution to make the
next meeting the closiDgsone of the SEES

came evident that there was only one de-
batter present, Mr.. Coleman, and he sub
stitute though host in himself, Mr.. Stout
moved that when this ,ciety adJourns to-

Mr.. Robertson then Tered the following
resolution which was adopted without
discussion: ~
