Cur Fishersville Letter

FIsHERsvILLE, March 9th, 1880.
EDS. SPECTATOR correspondent had
the pleasure of attending the closing exercises
of Miss Mamie Alexander's school last night,
and a very pleasant time he had, too.
The audience was large, rather too large for
comfort and the performance upon the stage
was taking the tender years of the majority of
the performers into ACCOUNT excellent.
Miss A. has been teaching at this house for
several terms, and the fathfulness with which
she has discharged her duties was fully dem
onstrated by the performance Of last night.
As a further proof of her efficiency and popu-
larity. may add that her patrons desire her
return to the school at its next term.
We hope that Miss A. may live long to en-
gage in her useful profession, and that her ex-
hibitions may be of frequent occurrence.
At the close of the exercises by the school,
the Rev. DR.. Yarbrough took the STAGE and
after highly complimenting the teacher and her
school and paying a tribute to the memory of
DIR. letter, he proceeded to prove that the male
portion of the human family himself included
are mules, and, as far as he was concerned, he
proved his assertion beyond contradiction.
Mr.. Y. has a tact of keeping his audience in
a roar from the beginning to the close of his
orations.
The railroad fever seems to be cooling down
in Waynesboro'. Fears are entertained that
the Shenandoah Valley Company may buy
out the Valley Railroad from Staunton to Sa-
lem.
Wheat is looking well, and the farmers have
nearly finished blowing for corn.
News is exceedingly scarce.
Health of the cd Immunity good generally but

ANOTHER NEW CHURN.-Mr. Walker, of
Ronceverte, West Va, has on exhibition at
Tom Burke's Restaurant, a new churn which
he claims to be superior to any kind heretofore
invented. The theory on which it works is the
reverse of other churns, in that it forces the
cream through the dasher and not the dasher
through the cream. This is claimed to be its
chief merit, and one that causes the butter "to
come in very few minutes. Capt. 7. C. Nor

states that "butter came in IL minutes"
