Last Saturday at noon DR.. Tanner
finished his fast of forty days in New
York city. Contrary to the expectation
of the Home Journal, DR.. T. did not
"make die" of the matter. But what
good has been done? 1t has been said
that his fast of forty days was in the
interest of science. Besides, he has
shown his ability to do what Jesus
Christ did, even with no angels to min
lister to him as they did to Christ in the
wilderness amid wild beasts. We arc
not told what Christ ate first, nor how
much, when his long fast was finished.
The Bible says he was "afterward a hun
gered." DR.. Tanner first ate watermel-
on and drank Il glass Of milk, and by
degrees got his stomach in condition
to relish bect-steak. 1t is wonder
his foolishness did not put an end to his
life, but it didn't. We tasted once du-
ring the war for three days, and one day
longer would have "settled our hash
forever, VIC do believe. Our foreman
suggests that old 2O0-pounder in Win,
chester try fast for II days, to see il
he can. beat Tanner. Tanner lost only
SO pounds in 40 days, and wasn't as big
as old 2OO-pounder. But old 200
FOUNDER isn't as big a fool as Tanner
and that's what the matter with-Han
ner.

Richmond & McElreth's Dramatic
Company left us last week, after stay
of three weeks. The company has the
best wishes of all who made their ac-
quaintance while here, and, if they
should return next summer hearty
welcome would be extended to them by
all. The members of the troupe became
very much attached to Winchester
said it was the most pleasant town they
had visited during the four years they
had been travelling, and that they felt
as if they were leaving home when they
departed, &c.

We believe the progressively hot
weather for 1880 is about Tast. We
are more than two.thirds over the sum-
mer, and cool nights come on apace.
We have had no yellow fever or cholera
in the South, and it is fair to presume
that this year will pass away without
the appearance of any contagion. And
the indications are that we will have a
bountiful corn crop. Eearly corn is al
ready assured, and a few more rains will
insure one of the largest crops for many
years.
