A Card.

:, l take the opportunity of returning the
t ,aaaIs OF broken heart to my friends and
nelghbors, and the public generally, for theil
warm sympathy and many attentions shown
me IN athousand ways during the illness which
resulted in the death of my son, Henry Edwin
NEWMAN.
If the sting and sorrow after the death of 6
loved one can be mitigated by the recollection,
OF unequaled kindness to the deceased, surely in
tnls case we could turn our sorrow and mourn
ing into joy.
My noble son was to me in my declining years
a. support and stay-my Benjamin, whose un.
timely death will bring down my gray hairs,
fear, In sorrow to the grave. But over his
freshly made grave. with my tears mingline
with those who loved him, feel that 1 have
t cause to thank God that my lot and his lo1
were cast among people whose hearts were
not shut to the suffering of the poor, and whose
charity knows no bounds.
From the very first moment of the sad acci-
dent to my boy till the hour of his death
my friends seemed to vie with each other to
excel in acts of kindness to him. These, my
irlenqs beg to assure you can never forget,
put shall cherish them all as the one bright
spot about scene so dark and gloomy to a
ratners heart. j. w. c. NEWMAN.

SLIPPERY WEATHER.-On last Tuesday night
the gentle rain which froze as it fell upon our
icy streets and pavements made it so slippery
as to make it not only dangerous, but almost
impossible, even with the greatest care, to walk
upon them without falling. The righteous, as
well as the wicked, stood on slippery places
that is, those who were able to stand at all, but
none but citizens of the best standing could do
So and the "fall of man" was of frequent occur
renee. The earth was covered with glacial
mantle and our city was mer de grace over
which the boys skated and coasted with great
delight on Wednesday morning through
all the streets, before the thaw took place about
the middle of the forenoon.

Main street has been a sheet of ice from the
hill at the Methodist church to the race bridge,
distance of over a quarter of mile. There
were crowds out every night, and a good time
was mad. Some of the sleighs ran the distance
in half minute, or at the rate of 80 miles an
hour. Strange to say, there were few acci-
dents, and none serious Some six men on a
sleigh, one morning last week, ran into COW,

THE M1DwINTER (FEBRUARY) SCRIBNER
has always been special number. as rich as
the choicest literary matter and the most beau
tfful wood engravings can make it. OF last
years midwinter number the London Times
said: -"Iti is really magnificent triumph of
Am srican pictorial art and literary genius."-
The English publisher of SCRIBNER has tel
egraphed for 600 copies of the present num-
ber,-an advance of 5000 upon his orders last
year. and the largest edition of an American

said to be larger than the monthly sales of any
English magazine. The American edition Of
ScRIBNER has grown during 1880 about 10000
copies,
A delightful featured of the magazine this
year is series of sparkling novelettes, or con-
densed novels, instead of serial story. "a
Fair Barbarian" the story of piquant Amer
lean girl in England, by Mrs. Frances Hodgson
Burnett, begins in this February number with
a twenty-five page installment, and will run
through three issues. Since the death of
George Eliot it may be said that Mrs. Burnett
commands a larger English-speaking audi
ence than any other woman. Her novelette,
will be followed by one by George W. Cable,
author of 1.-THE Grandissimes." ETC., and after
ward Boyesen's Queen Titana" will be pub
lished. peter the Great" Eugene Schuyler's
historical work, begun in February $780, will

MT. SOLON, January 2lst.
Mrs. Amanda Eubank, aged rs, died after q
long illness on Wednesday last at the resi-
dence of her son, Robert P. Eubank. near Mt.
Zion church, She was the sister of James g.
and Col. Rudolph Turk, long ant favorably
known in this and adjoining count ties. She
leaves three children, r. P. and James Eubank
and Mrs. DIR. j. T. Clark. She was buried yes
terday from Messy Creek church, of which
body she had long been a devout and consistent
member.
Our community was shocked yesterday to
learn that Richard H. Dudley had dropped
dead at his residence near here. 1t appears that
he was in his usual health at break fast, imme.
diately after which he walked out in the yard
and fell. He was hastily removed to the house
and expired in about minutes. Few men
were better or more favorably known in this
section than he. Through strict integrity and
1ndefatigable industry and close application to
business he had amassed considerable for
tune, and died one of the largest real estate
owners in this portion of the Valley. He had
long been jealous and much beloved member
of Messy Creek church, from whence he will be
buried this P. M. He leaves three daughters,
Mrs. DIR. Trevy, of this county, Mrs. Walter Da-
Wis, of Rockingham, and Mrs, Prof. Lackey, late
of your city; also four sons, three grown and
one about IA years Of age, besides numerous
relatives and friends, to mourn his sudden
death.
Capt. VIM: Jordan, one of our oldest and
much respected citizens, has been confined to
his room for some days with an attack of pleu-
risy.
The numerous friends of G.. Wesley Blake
more will regret to learn that there is no per-
ceptiple improvement in the condition of either
his wife or son, both of whom are in a critical
condition. 1t is feared a delicate and difficult
surgical operation will have to be performed
on the latter before any change for the better
can take place. FEELINGS
