Luce Bros gold-mining property,
situated near Pendleton Station, and
consisting of 20 stamp mill, three en-
gines, hosting engines, &C., was totally
destroyed by fire. This was probably
one of the best equipped concerns Of
the kind in the State. The whole pro-
perty had but recently undergone
thorough renovation, ten new stamps
added, &c. The fire was accidental,
and the loss is estimated at $40, ZOO,
with no insurance.

The Debt-payer thinks that the posi-
sibilities of the Washington aud Ohio
Railroad are immense. With an extern
sion of sixteen miles from Round Hill,
its present Terminus, to Berryville, it
will tap the Shenandoah Valley Road,
which joins the Chesapeake and Ohio
and the Northern and Western. It will
thus become the shortest and most
convenient route for the trade and travel
of all those roads to the National Cap
itol.

The Virginia Valley Railroad from
Staunton to Lexington, thirty-four
miles, it is stated positively, will be
in running order by June next. Bids
for contracts to do the work were re-
ceived in Staunton to the close of the
past week, but the lettings will be decid-
ed in Lynohburg. The connection with
the Richmond and Allegheny RoaG will
be important to both.

Household Hints.

Fresh lard is better than butter to
grease cake-pans.
Silver that is not in use may be
kept from furnishing by burying it in
box or barrel of oatmeal.

chiefs are folded On inch or two be-

A strong, good-sized table is almost
necessity in the cellar. Jars that are
too heavy to be lifted on and off shelves
may be set on the table. Many cellars
are sometimes infested with ants and
other bugs. One way to keep them
from clawing over the jars is to take the
tin cans in which peaches or tomatoes
came, set the legs of the table in the
cans, and fill them halffull of water.

THE dead lock in the senate is causing
liberal republicans some uneasiness. They
believe that the granting OF offices to
Mahone's friends in payment for his act
of treachery, does not justify an all sum-
mer session of the senate. A bargain
was made with Malone. He was TO vote
with the republicans, and have the nam
ing of certain senate officers who have
the distribution of considerable patron
age. The fight is on the dismissal of the
senate officers and the induction of Ma
homes satellites. He has performed his
part of the contract. The republicans of
the senate are striving to perform theirs.
Every day they vote solidly against q
resolution introduced by the democrats
to go into executive session and perform
the work for which the senate was con-
vened. They are more anxious to be
true to Malone than to the country
He has been purchased and the price to
be paid is the cause of the dead lock. A
traitor is to be rewarded at the expense
of the country.

SECRETARY WINDOW has issued a call
for all outstanding 6 per cent. bonds, the
principal and accrued interest to be paid
by July list, 1881. No interest will be
paid on bonds of this kind after that

holders to have lie bonds continued ct
81 per cent. to run during the pleasure
OF the government. This step II the
secretary of the treasury shows deter

GLADsroNE's land bill does not receive
the unqualified appreciation of the land
league, although it is as good a bill as
can be secured in parliament while the
house of lords constitute part of that
body. ParneH objects strongly to the
expense entailed upon the tenant to
have the fairness of his rent determined,
and finds fault with the bill because it is
not sufficiently retroactive to include
modification of rents since 1879 or to
cover the period of distress in Ireland.
Portions of the bill he heartily commends.
The Irish members will aid in passing
the bill although they will attempt to
amend it so as to make it more favorable
to the tenant. There can be no question
that the house of commons will pass the
BILL and it is almost as certain that II
will be rejected by the house of lords
But the liberal and Irish members are
sufficient to force the upper house to
acquiesee in the measure.

40 years ago. ] was for many years a
sufferer from quinsy, Thomas Eclectric
Oil cured me" was also troubled with
hoarseness, and Thomas Eclectric Oil
always relieved me. Ny wife and child
had diphtheria, and Thomas Electric
Oil cured them" and if taken in time it
will cure seven times out OF fen. l am
confident it is cure for the most obstln-
ate cold or cough, and if any one will
tske a small teaspoon and half fill it with
the Oil, and then place the end of the
spoon in one nostril and draw the Oil out
of the spoon into the head by shifting as
hard as they can, until the Oil falls over
into the throat, and practice that twice
a week, | don't care how offensive their
head may be, it will clean it out and cure
their oatarrh. For deafness and earache
it has done wonders to my certain knowl-
edge. 1t is the oniy medicine dubbed
patent medicine that | have eyer felt like
recommending, and l am very anxious
to see it in every place, for | tell you that
