DAILY MAIL-THE WHEAT PROSPECT.
SPRING TRADE-A LITTLE CHILD BURN
ED TO DEATH-DEATH OF AN AGED
CITIZEN, &C.
Reported for the Staunton VIND1cAToR.l
MIDDLEBRooK, VA, Feb. 18th, 1881.
We now enjoy daily mail and note the
| fact that our citizens are we'll posted in the
! news of the day. In our stores and other
public places. we see such dailies as the N.
Y. ''Herald'' and Baltimore 'sSun," and
| weeklies from every principle city from
| Chicago, East. The fact is noticeable that
our citizens take more interest in all the
affairs that affect our country-religious,
political or social, at home or abroad, than
they did when we had tri-weeklY mail
All feel much indebted to the untiring eff
fort of Mai. Yost. of the Stanton Post
office, for this boon.
Notwithstanding our altitude, located
as we are on the watershed OF the POtO-
mac and James rivers, we suffer from
freshets. Our farmers are complaining of
damage to wheat in the lowlands.
The snow having passed off. a peep can
be had at, and surmise made of the wheat
prospect of this locality. AS usual, there is
diversity of opinion. but the majority of re-
ports are encouraging. 1t is remarkable.
the amount of produce yet in the hands
of our f rmers-wheat, CORE, oats, clover
seed and -four. The harvest is not yet
over for your wholesale dealers, while our
producers are looking forward to the new
years production, and no doubt, seeking
places to invest their well earned profits.
Our merchants claim to have held their
full share of trade since the holidays, and
are preparing for an early spring business.
Our community deeply sympathises with
our esteemed neighbor, G. c. Mish, in the
old, whose death on last Friday was the
result Of severe burn received the day
previous by falling backward on bed Of
live Goals. He was a bright little boy, the
pet of large circle of friends. He was
buried at Bethel church on Sabbath last.
The funeral sermon was preached by Rev
James M. Murray. in which strong and
pathetic appeal was made to the afflicted
parents and all hearers, for patient SUBJ
mission to Gods providences.
To-day Mrs. George Shuey was buried at
the Tabor Lutheran church, services by
Rev. L. L.. Smith. Mrs. Shuey was about
SO years old. and her husband, who sur
wives her. is 81. In recording these deaths,
| I notice that one came on the stage OF ac-
taon at the beginning, the other near the
closing of the nineteenth century-yet
death claimed the victims about the same
time

Preparations for the Inauguration.

The Inauguration of President Garfield
on the 4th of March next promises to be
big time IN Washington both day and
night. There will be nearly thirty thou
sand troops there. including visiting VOL
unteers and regular soldiers. Among them
will be many Virginia troops and some
from the Valley. The Harrisonburg
Guards have voted to go if satisfactory ar
rangements can be made with the railroad.
While the day will he occupied with
military display the night will be turned
into day by electric lights. On the dome of
the capitol will burn three $4,000 candle
power lights. One of the same power will
burn at the Treasury building, and around
the White House seven two thousand
candle-power lights will be lighted. Nearly
all the national buildings will be thus
lighted. The Baltimore 4 Ohio railroad
has made great preparations to accommo-
date the immense crowd that will att nd
the Inauguration. For those who prefer
making Baltimore their headquarters while
visiting the inauguration it has provided
to run trains to Washington every half
hour at the low fare of sixty. cents, so a
visitor may see the Washington sights and
yet have the comfort of an uncrowded Bal
timore hotel, In order to accommodate
all corners, the Baltimore & Ohio Compa-
ny has recently added very largely to its
equipment; and having now its full COM
plement of new sleepers and parior cars,
is amply provided with facilities to trans
port any number Of trains on prompt time.
The Baltimore C Ohio tickets to Washing
ton and return will be placed on sale at
very low figures on the first, second and
third of next month, good to return until
the evening train on the night Of the
seventh.
