tributed IN Staunton last week, and asks us to
give proper notice. We do not think neces-

the polls as to bury Bourbonism forever and
day over, and stamp the batch of lies as they
deserve to be- This circular was the last re-
sort of desperate, defeated and disgraced
party, and is OF apiece with the Chinese letter
fabrication, which has just been sent to its
democratic home to plague the inventors OF it.

DEATH OF MISS ANNIE MoFFETT Died in
Waynesboro, on Tuesday, the Goth inst, Of
consumption, Miss Annie Moffett, youngest
daughter of Sydney Moffett, Esq, lately of
Staunton, in the nineteenth year of her age.
Death is a sorrowful and awful fact when il
comes into our midst, even as the natural
sequence of long life; when the victim has
conquered ''the fever called living" by a hard
fight, and is tired and ready to lay down his
arms and rest but when the fatal sentence
falls upon the young, the lovely and innocent
it seems doubly hard to teach our hearts the
J lesson of unmmurmuring submission which
: God requires us to learn. The death of this
lovely and attractive young girl occurred un-
der circumstances of peculiar sadness. She
had been taken from her home few weeks
ago only to try the effect of different climate
and treatment for the insidious disease from
: which she was suffering, but it was too late

left, on her return to her native home for the
aching and anxious hearts about her was to
soothe and tranquilse the last remaining
hours of life, and to prepare, SO far as devoted
human love and kindness could avail the un-
trodden path to the mysterious rivers brink.
Her amiability and gentleness of character
and disposition had endeared her to many
hearts, and not only in the stricken household
will her loss be felt, but she will be missed by
a wide circle of sorrowing friends here in ou1
own city The funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. Mr.. Stricken of Sinking Greek
F Church, and her remains inferred there.
