ELECTION OF OFFICERS.

Monday night this Order had their semi
animal election of officers. There are
over seventy members in the Staunton

hers and interest, and the meeting Monday

NEST interesting one the lodge has had.
The following officers for the next six
months were elected.
Dictator, A. F. Kinney: Vice Dictator,
Hugh F. Powell; Assistant Dictator, R..
M. Guy; Reporter, VIM. A. Burnett; FL

Treasurer, J. W. Newton; Chaplain, M.
F. White; Guide, Heber Ker; Guardian,
Geo. Hutchinson; Sentinel, J. E. Rollins.
and Dictator, T. J. Gro WIDER was advanced
to Past Dictator.
The regular meeting for the installation
of the officers elect is the LIST Monday night
in July, but as that falls upon the .4th of
July and many members will probably be
absent from the city, the lodge resolved to
apply for dispensation to have their of
fcers installed on the night of the 18th of
July. DR.. J. M. Hanger having been
commissioned Deputy for the lodge. will
install the officers.
At that meeting two prominent mem
bers Of the Grand Lodge of Virginia X.

A GOOD RECORD FOR AUGUSTA
suprp.-In noticing lot of lambs raised
nv Mr.. M. Fill. Gilkeson of this county, a
few DAYS ago, we might have added that
at Baltimore when they arrived the week
receipts were 10000, Of these the tops
were 500 and of these tops the Augusta
lambs were the choice lot. A pretty good
record for old Augusta.

DELAY OF MA1Ls.-We received some
dozen or so complaints of the failure of
the mail, which on Friday or Saturday,
should have reached the offices on the e..
& 0. road east of Staunton. On lnquir-
ing, we find that the delay was caused by
the delay of the mail train from the west on
that day, some six hours, thus causing the

COLLECTING TOLLS from FUNERALS.


BALTixoRE CouSry, February 18th, 1881.
Editors Of the Caioa In your issue Of last
week notice article copied from the Baltimore
Amsricaa in which u was stated that according TO
. certain section In the Code Of turn
pixies, bridges and ferry companies wero liable TO
hne Of not less than $50 nor more than 500 for
collecting tolls from funerals As the article may
cause . good deal Of annoyance 20 the public A.
we'll ~ 70 the gate keepers on the different roads
leading out Of the city. . few words on the sub
ject may throw some light upon Il. AT the ses-
passed to Chapter 20 Of tho Code to the effect that
no turnpike, bridge or ferry company shall collect
any tolls from carriages or vehicles Of any kind
going 10 or returning from funerals, under the
penalty above stated. The Frederick turnpike
company kept an account Of the funerals passing
through the gates on that road and tested this Law
In the City Court In 1859. Judge Scott In an able
opinion, decided that the Act violated two sections
Of the Constitution Of the State declaring that Il
was uncon stitutionai and void and that the Leg.
islature has no power over the rights Of compa-
mics who eonine themselves TO their charters.
Previous TO the Judges decision gate-kespcr,
not bong aware Of the Act, paid the penalty and
the costs, portion Of the former being afterwards
RENTED. The magistrate before whom the case
was tried, paid one-half the 6ne 10 the informer
IS mn appeal would be taken 20 the courts. Il Il
not very pleasant duty for gate-k keeper 10 stop
carriages going 20 or returning from funerals, but
the charters Of the several companies require that
tolls shall be collected from all vehicles passing
through their gates, without regard 70 the mission
upon which they are bent, though believe that
all the companies whose roads lead out Of the city,
BY common courtesy, allow hsarses 20 pass free.

Ec-The production Of crude petroleum In
Pennsyivania seems almost incredible In amount.
Al the beginning Of tbs present year the amount
stored In tanks In the various oil producing cen.
tres was no iess than 10000 900 barrels, or more
than twice the amount held at the beginning Of
the previous year. and almost, ifnot quite. enough
to supply the worlds demand for an entire year.
But this Is not all; the surplus continues to In.
crease, In spite Of the inclemsncy Of tho winter,
which has had tendency to re,ard operations to
some extent. Thstankagee capacity and the facili.
ties OF the pipe lines have been unable to carry all
the oil pumped, and for months at . time last

waste daily. Over production has been tho cause
Of all this. and We are wasting this supply Of iu.
