warren Oentinet. Our Oeud'Oi VI
Wednesday introduced in the Senate
bill amending the Charter ofour town,
so as to clothe the board OF Trustees
thereof with the power to regulate the
granting of liquor licenses in Front
Royal and within two miles OF It's
bounds; and presented the petitions oil
1876 of the voters and los Of the ladies
Of this place asking the passage ofthe
bill. . No town in Virginia has pros
pered more than this during the last
twelve months, and none has better
prospects for the future or offers better
inducements to business men as resi-
dence or to capitalists for investments IN
manufacturing enterprises. The sales
of our Merchants for 1879 aggregate
some 100000, and Of our Produce
Dealers $4,000. The business OF
Adams Express Company has been
large for the past yea r, $50, 600 lbs OF
express matter passed through its ollie
here last year, and from July l, 1879 to
Jan. /, 1880. its efficient AGENT. I.
Jacobs, forwarded in money $4,000.
We have been unable to get up as
many business statistics Of our thrifty
town as we wished, but the foregoing
will show its healthy condition, and
NAV induce immigration, which we
earnestly desire.

one of our oldest citizens, tells Us that
the fall and winter of ~ and '23 were
very similar to this winter and last fall,
with the exception that there was q
little more rain IN the fall Of ~. The
winter was very warm, with the frogs
croaking in January as they do IN theI
spring, and the peach trees in bloom IN
February. The following summer was
noted as the sickhest season tbs couI-
try has eyer known. y great many
deaths from fever and scarcely well
persons enough 10 care for the sick. lie
remembers bu. one other winter thatl
approximates this IN mildness....A
report started by some persons has been
circulating in the county for some
weeks that DR.. J. c. Brubaker, former
