MIDDLETowN, Va, Aug, 10TH, 1881.
Mr.. EDITOR The Lawn Party
that came off at Middletown last Fri
day and Saturday evenings, was large
ly attended, and met with grand sue
cess. The principal attraction on
Saturday evening, Excepting the
young ladies' was the balloon ascension
of which Mr. P. S. Wright was pro-
jector. 1t was, we think, the best ar
ranged Lawn Party we ever had the
pleasure to attend, and the young
managers deserve great credit, as they
met with great deal Of discourage
ment. The proceeds, we understand,
were for the benefit of the Juvenile
Drum Corps" to purchase equipments.

An Old-F ashioned Campaign in
Virginia.
From the Philadelphia Times. |

They are going to have a regular
old-fashioned campaign in Virginia.
The Democratic candidate and the
Malone candidate for Governor do not
even wait to ascertain the result of TIE
Republican convention, which will
meet on Wednesday, but they have
already organized their campaigns.
To-day they will meet in a joint
discussion of the issues to be deter
mined by the election, and together
will canvass the State. This is an
old style Of conducting a campaign
which is being revived to an encour-
aging extent. If the people care to
have speeches at all, they doubtless
desire to have them made as interest
ing as possible, and joint discussions
are not only interesting but advanta
geous. People have desire to hear
both sides Of the question, where under
other circumstances they would not
care to concern themselves about more
than one. Unfortunately, however,
there is but one side to the Virginia
question in its present shape.

Condition of the President.

Aug. l6.-The SYMPTOMS published
by the Sun, report extreme prostra-
ton, inability to take nc urishment
and high pulse, which at Z P. M, was
100, two beats to the second. The life
of the Nations patient seems to be
trembling in the balance, with chances
against his recovery.
Aug. 19.-President Garfield was
able to take, and retain some light
nour;shment yesterday, and his physi-
clans regard this as an important point
gained. A slight swelling of the par
otid gland caused some alarm, but DR..
Hamilton said that he did not regard
it as indicating any serious complica-
ton. The patient expressed himself
as feeling better, and, upon the whole,
his condition last night was much
more hopeful than at any time since
Monday.

WHAT is the matter with so many
of our young people that they do not
marry? Is it the weather, or hard
times, or pure laziness? Anyhow,
something is powerfully preventing.
We never saw time here when there
was so little fun Of this particular
kind going on. There's plenty of ma
terial, too-old maids and old bache-
Tors, looking lonely and forsaken; wild
ows and widowers, who skip the streets
as if they had taken new lease of
life; and young damsels, "too sweet
for anything" and lots O young men
who, it seems to us, would like to pop
the all-important question, but dare
not. Hurry up, We bashful ones; the

A correspondent writes of General
Grants cottage at Long Branch =
Here the General smokes cigars of
interminable length, chats with his
friends, and, let it be whispered of
hero and statesman-eats soft shell
crabs by the dozen. Isay it advisedly,
and there are people who declare that
in self-defence, the General has made
up the story that he is following his
physician orders as to fish diet in the
quantity of this dainty which he con-
sumes."

The United States debt is now ST.

THE annual loss by fire in the United
States is $lOO,OOO,OOO worth of prop

THE court in the cadet Whitaker
case have reported. They not only
find him guilty of cutting his own
ears but of lying about it. They rec
ommend his dismissal from the SER
vice.
Is IT not a wonder that no specula-
tive Yankee has tried to trade with
the President for the ball in his abdo-

stracted as soon as he is strong enough
to bear the operation?

all these officers should conclude to go

The intense heat and drought has ru-
med the corn in many localities, and
badly damaged the cotton.
Four times as much wood as coal as
coal is used in the United States for
fuel. In 1883 three hundred and
five millions tons of coal were mined,
1875 millions in Great Britain, 10 mil
lions in the United States and AZ mil
lions in Germany; Pennsylvania fur
nished Is million tons. The Southern
States generally use wood. In some
of the western counties of Michigan
hay is burned. In some parts of Kan
sas corn cobs, corn stalks, and hay are
largely used. Coal is used extensively
in large portions Of the Northwest,
where the country is covered with
prairies and there is but little wood
land.

Correspondence to the START

We regret to publish the intelligence
of painful accident which happened
to Mr.. Sam'l Breedlove, on Tuesday
last while assisting at threshing. We
learn that his left arm was caught in
some cogs of the machine, tearing his
arm to such an extent that it is feared
amputation will be necessary.

Why Is It !?

WE often hear the question asked
"Why is it that G. F. Mayors succeeds
in distributing such large amount of
merchandise among the people each
year?" We append the following as
our answer
1st His purchases are made in a
large measure direct from manufac-
turers or their agents, thus saving to
his customers the usual iobbers' profit.
I'd. From his large and varied stock
(probably the heaviest carried by any
one establishment in the county,, you
can always be sure of getting just
what you want, and not be compelled
to substitute something else.
Sd. The prices at which he marks
his goods are fully ten per cent. lower
than other houses, depending for his
income rather upon the quantity han
died than high rate Of profit.
4th. The prices he allows for pro-
duce in exchange for goods will al
ways be found to be shade higher
than the current market rates.
18th. His modest but pointed adver-
tisement is always found in the col
umns of the Star, the statements con-
tanned in which are fully corroborated
by visit to his establishment. 4t4

house of Mrs. Manley Terrell, widow living
on the outskirts of this place, and shot her
through the heart. Her two grown daughters
were in the room at the time. but can give no

was the mother Of William Terrell the young

the Vanderbilts bought stocks yesterday for
long account. There were also strong indiea-
tions of purchases made for the account OF

tions yesterday think that Gould bought Wa
bash preferred and Western Union.
The rumor current in Wall street yesterday
that the Wabash, st. Louis and Pacific Rail-
road Company was about to make further is
sue of preferred stock to meet the payment OF
certain obligations of that company was denied
officially by an executive officer of the company,
who said that all the stock, both common and
preferred, authorized by the stockholders had
been already issued, and that further issue
would require at least 80 days to secure the as
sent of the stockholders.
There was good deal of trading in Reading
yesterday on telegraph orders between this
city and Philadelphia. Philadelphia dis
patches claim that the election of Mr.. Gowen
is certain.
