Many birds are killed daily by railroad

these birds visit the track looking for grain

attempt to rise until the train is almost
upon them, and then before tl,cv can escape

their spring meeting, in April. Some Of

Salt Galore.

One Of the Tarye!s Of nature is the min
eral deposits which abound in every part of
the earth. They give evidence Of being
produced by the double action Of water
and fire. The ocean is not only thick with
salt, it is infiltratcd also with minute
sl.ecks Of gold, silver and other minerals.
One Of the theories which accounts for the
great bonanzas OF the Comstock, is that an
ocean shrunk up, and by certain chemical
atfinities the minerals it contained became
compactcd, forming the mixed rock and
gold and silver on the Comstock and else
where, while copper became deposited from
Lake Superior to Arizona. So with the
other metals. That this theory has some
foundation is shown by the fact that all
through Nevada, between the lodges which
contain the metals, are found vast salt
marshes, sometimes mixed with borax and
soda. The writer once visited place near
the Northern Belle mine in Nevada, where
immense Quantities Of salt wc!led up out of
the earth. A thousand tons day Of the
finest salt could b. taken from this marsh,
and BY the next morning the springs would
have re-depositcd all that was removed
the day previous. But there is no need Of
going to the State Of Nevada for silt
springs. There is salt bed which under
lies Western New York. Western Canada,
Michigan. Wisconsin, ard portion Of
Iowa. 1t belongs to the same geological
formation as the Onondaga salt group, 50

Quantities in the neighborlood OF Syracuse
Quite recently there were indications OF

Sewing
Machine,

1t is an acknowledged fact that the
White Sewing Machine now stands pre-
eminent among frst-class machines, for
it's simplicity and light-running qualities.
1t is a mechanical fact that the White
Sewing Machine is made from the best
material and of excellent workmanship,
and all its wearing parts are adjustable
so that lost motion can be "taken up'' in
an instant.
1t is an undisputed fact that the dura-
bility of the White Sewing Machine is
sustained by written warranty for five
years. ..
1t is progressive fact that the White
embodies the most practical and useful
improvements of other sewing machines,
together with advantages peculiarly its
own.
1t is money making fact that the
White is the easiest-selling selling ma
chine in the market, and therefore all
Wide-awake dealers make it their speciality.
1t is gratifying fact that the White
gives universal satisfaction, and that it is
steadily and rapidly increasing in public
favor.

THE Storm.-For several weeks our locality
has been suffering from drought. On last
Saturday evening we were visited with a Sc
we're storm of wind and rain During the
storm the barn of Mr. A. R. Whitmore, occu-
pied by Mr.. David Gilkeson, situated but
short distance from the residence of Mrs Sallie
Wilson was struck by lightning at the south
east corner. The fluid passed down through
the hay now setting fire to the hay and pass
ed over shed roof tearing up the shingles
and spent it's force in shed post which was
shivered to atoms. The family were absent
except Miss Rebecca Whitmore and young
farm hand, Abraham Miller Under the well
directed efforts of Miss Rebecca, who dis
played remarkable presence of mind the fire
was kept from gaining much Roadway. They
were soon reinforced by Messrs. Daniel and
Willie Whitmore and it is but justly due to
say that owing to their efforts the entire barn
was saved. Help was speedily summoned and
the fire was eXtinguiShed with but little dam
age. On Sunday morning Mr.. Gilkeson lost a
valuable farm horse after few hours sickness
THE Quartery Meeting services of the
Methodist church were conducted by the Pre-
siding Elder last Sunday, Rev. DIR. Martin.
The love-feast, that dearest and most cherish
ed institution of every true Methodist heart,
was on this occasion very impressive and in
teresting. The morning sermon, delivered by
the Rev. Dr. to a large and attentive audience
was by many pronounced as one of his best
efforts. The new pastor, Rev. Williams is
theoretically at work and is growing in favor
with his people and the outside public.
Sas.-Mr. t. S. Hogshead ex'or of r. H.
Dudley, decd, has sold to Mr. A A. Crawford !
the Byers farm at $333 peracre The dwelling
house of this place that stands at the junction
of the Harrsonburg and Staunton roads, is

here that that model and successful merchant
Mr. Elijah Hogshead, decd, commenced his
mercantile life, and the successful and extern
sive establishment of the McCorke Bros of |
was founded by this lamented |
and universally esteemed citizen.
Notes.-Judging from the numerous appli- |
cations for remuneration for sheep killed by |
logs in this community the fund collected |
rom the dog tax will be heavily drawn upon
The damage done to corn fields by the late |
,alns is immense and in many instances whole
lelds will require replanting.
