The Patrons Star.
BY J. w. LANG.


There Is bright, peculiar star
late risen in the sky,
Before whose presence Others fly,
Or dim and pale afar:
The dread Of dark Monopoly.
The Arts a I'd Sciences arose
And travelled to the West,
The East--as Legend shows,
A. natient researches disclose
OF tHeffi were fret possestI
prt here we have a different deal,
i wide and startling change;s
/ SHARP REVERSAL of the wheel,
/ contrast all NAV feel,
Since the coming of the Grange.
The Patrons star rose in the West;
And moved unto the East;
f came with tidings good aid blest,
To lighter toiIer's weary breast,
It spread aroyal feast.
q blessed Star! o. raw of Hope!
Rsar on to endless day;
Rrdsdef and dtepsr lie thy scope,
Until most fully thou shalt cope
With every wrong array.
Grid up thy loins. O., brothe-, strong,
Grid up, O, sister, fair;
To battle bravely, we'll and long,
Beat back the all opposing throng,
And in the victory share.

Me5chacebee On Saturday last, in
ut. Charles u throng Of darkies had con
gregated on the gallery Of NJ Blumen
reichs store, situated on the Louisa
plantation, OH the right bank OF the
river. Among the number were few
who persisted in throwing dice for
money, contrary to the merchants regu-
lations. His ordering to desist brought
about controversy, and, as report goes,
his life being Threatened, the merchant
shot one Of the players with Smith g.
Wesson pistol. The excitement among
the negroes after the shooting Of one of
their comrades was so intense that it
seemed miracle that the accused or
capped, as he did, with his life from the
parish, leaving his business in charge of
his wife. The wounded negro IS said to
be in very critical condition, with lit.
tie prospects of final recovery.

work forward. The offer is doubtless n
limited one, and may be suspended just at
the moment when the backward have
concluded to take advantage Of it. This
would considerably increase tho cost of

We need rain badly--and for more rea-
sons than one. The crops need it, the
wells need it, the cisterns need it, and
the streets need it. Every vehicle or
quadrupcd that passes along strs up the
dust and the breeze instantly lands it
on the shelves of our merchants. The
clerks are kept constantly busting to
prevent injury to the goods, while with
tho music of tho brush mingles harsh
expressions unfit for gentle ears. Gentle
ears don't hear them, but nevertheless
we can't blame the boys. "Oh for a
rain" is the popular song now.

DIR. A. NJ. Fauntleroy has returned skom
his attendance upon the sessions Of she
International Association of Superinten-
dents of Lunatic Asylums, at Toronto.
While at the North DR.. F. visited the in
stitutions for the insane at Toronto, Can
ada; Utica, N. Y; Northampton, Mass;
Flat Bush, l.. l.; and Morristown, N. ] :,
the five typical institutions of that Sec
tion of the country. At one of the ses-
sions OF the International Association the
case Of Mr. Fox, of Craigsville. Augusta
county, was presented. This was the re-
markable case CT man. who in 1876, fred
gun which exploded, driving portions of
the breech into his brain. DR.. Fauntle-
roy removed the iron and with it came
about an ounce of the patients brain.
The man recovered and his mind was I'M
impaired until his death which occurred in
1881, Of consumption. Much interest was
shown by the Association in the case. DR..
Fauntleroy thinks it probable if not GER
tain that the Association will hold its
session in 1858, in Staunton. He speaks
in high terms of the handsome and gener-
GUS way in which the members of the AS
ISOLATION were entertained at Toronto.

party entered the church and proceeded to
the altar, where the marriage ceremony
took place under Gothic floral arch, from
the centre of which were suspended large
horse shoe and the traditional marriage
bell. The organ. owing to the indisposi
tion of Miss Bessie Falls, the regular Or
ganist, was presided over by Miss Virginia

The CID Board Of Supervisors.

The old. Board of County Supervisors
held It's last meeting on Tuesday last.
With the expiration of its official term
there retired from the county service the
following members of the Board who have
served on it continuously since 1870: Pres
ident, John Paris, of Beverly Manor; VIM.
Crawford, of Middle River, and VIM. T.
Rush, of Rlverheads. During this eleven
years the county has purchased all the in
terest of the city in its Staunton property
has enlarged the Court house and put in
fire proof safes which will last for half
century and has improved the court house
building, Jail and Treasurer's office. The
improvements at the court house and
grounds cost So, 500. The accounts Of the
old Board have all been settled up in the
past week and it leaves the county with
81 900 in it's treasury clear after paying
all the debts against it. During all
this eleven years not claim against the
county has been allowed which did not
pass through President Paris hands as
Chairman of the Committee of Accounts,
with its vouchers.
We are sure we but echoe the senti-
ment of the people of Augusta when we
say that their gratitude is due to the re-
firing members for the wisdom, judicious
economy and close attention with which
they have done their share of the business
of the county. The new, Board all of the
