The services at, the churches yesterday
were Of more than ordinary interest. At
the Episcopal churches they had reference,
OF course, to the sacred season OF Advent,
the beginning OF the Christian year. AT
Epiphany chapel there Were but six per-
sons, counting the pastor, the Organis', and
the sexton; but the services were ned all
the same.
Notwithstanding severe hurts sustained
by him Saturday, by falling down flight
OF stone Steps during the slett, Rev. A. e..
BIedsoe preached at Court Street church.
In the protracted religious exercises at
the second Presbyterian church The pastor,
Rev. J. VI Rawlings, is assisted by the Rev.
Mr.. Barnett, OF Abingdon.
At the Christian church yesterday Rev.
Junius wilkins, formerly OF Charlottesville,
began bis regular pastoral engagement.
The rain lasted all day yesterday and
nearly all night. To-day we have warm
weather and clear skies; also, such mud as
is nowhere TO be seen except among the red
clay OF Campbell.
Mrs. J. &. Becb. who has been the ma
from Of the city amshouse for twenty or
thirty years, died Saturday Of pneumonia
after q very short illness. She was highly
respected lady. and aS kind as a mother to
her helpless flock. Her funeral exercises
we're conducted Yesterday evening by the
Rev. a. &. BIedsoe in the presence Of
large congregation.
General j. A. Early has gene 10 New Or

The collections OF internal revenue for

to S23,075.04.
The Rev. Giles Il. Stricklcr ID. D., who
has Just been called to The cO.pa>torSbip OF
Dr.. Stuart RobinsOn's church in Louisville,
KY, Is a son OF Lynchburg, and one in
whose career many friends here take deep
interest He has won his way by faithful
diligence and application. and by the force
Of pure and consistent character and
walk. Or. Strlckler is quite young man
to have attained such an eminence in his
Church, and deserves all the more credit that
he has risen principally through his own ex-
eriions.
The epizooty has grown much less preva-
lent and much less serious among the horses.

Custer county has at present five can

best paying Office in the county, and
will, before the expiration of another
term, he a highly remunerative one,
us more locations will be recorded dur
the next two years than since the conn
ty was organized. This being the ease
it is absolutely necessary that the dele
gates should use their best Judgment
and good sense in the nomination OF
their respective candidates, unbiased by
any petty quarrels. AS far as We have
been able to learn the following one
are in the race: II. Z. Brown and y. $

Adams friends claim that he is crazy
and expect to secure his release on that
plea. We always thought something
was the matter with his head, but crazy
men generally show more cunning than
he has since he escaped from Deadwood.
Adams has enough of the cunning in
his composition, but he lacked the nerve
to start west into the Rockies, where
the devil himself couldn't have caught
him, and the only term appropriate for
him is, damphool.
