VICTORY FOR A STAUNTON MACHINE.
AT the Martinsburg, W. Va. Fair last
week. the ''Cornstalk cutter and m8stica-
tor" of Lynn & Eyler, of Stanton, their
own invention and manufacture, took the
first prize. We shall look for repetition
of this at all the Autumn fairs, for it is an
invention which in general use will save
the farmers of this land hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. We are glad to see the
enterprise of this firm being rewarded
with we'll msrited success, and only wish
that company of capitalists would open
to their invention a wider field.

Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad Items.

Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad Items.
The Chesapeake & Ohio will change the
schedule of it's passenger trains about the
middle of October. The night train will
leave Richmond about P. M.
The receipts of the Chesapeake & Ohio
railway for the first week in September
were $72,9 0s against $54 1881 for the same
period of last year-a gain of one-third.
The Chesapeake & Ohio is fairly showed
under with freight. Orders for more
cars are out, but the universal flow of
heavy traffic in every direction renders it
impossible for the builders to keep abreast
with them.

Lexington Presbytsry.

A SHORT BUT INTERESTING SESSION
AUGUSTA COUNTY LOSES TWO POPU-
LAR MINISTER'S.
Monday. Lexington Presbytery held an
adjourned session at the First Church
Staunton, about twenty ministers and ell
ders being present, with Rev. J. e. Book
or. of the Staunton Second church, Mode
rator, and Rev. c. s. Walker Stated
Clerk. DR.. ]. N. Craig of North Missis-
sippi Presbytery was invited to sit as cor
responding member. Elders James With
row and John W. Arbuckle presented a
call from Lewisburg church West Va,
for the services Of Rev. J. w. Rosebro of
est appeal to Presbytery to dismiss him to
the wide field to which he was evidently
SO providentially called.
Elders Samuel Forrer, Samuel A. East
and Mr.. Graham of Messey Creek church
were present to resist the dissolution Of
the pastoral relation of Mr.. Rosebro with
their church. The first two gentlemen
spoke earnestly IN opposition to the
change. Among other things Mr.. Forrer
said that in the nine years of Mr.. Rose
bros pastorate. the membership, notwith-
standing large proportion OF dismissals
and deaths, had increased from 120 to 223
and he had the love and confidence OF
every person in the congregation.
Mr.. Rossbro spoke with feeling of his
regret and feeling that his duty to the peo-
pie now under his charge demanded that
he should relinquish it to man
of more physical strength than himself;
but he left the whole matter to Presbytery
and would be entirely satisfied with its
decision.
The body then voted by a decided ma
jority in favor of the dissolution, the min
listers voting for and the eldership against
the change.
DIR. Stricken then asked Presbytery to
meet on Wednesday. the 9th inst, at the
First Church to consider cali he had re-
ceiyed from the First church at Atlanta,
Ca, which was agreed to and Presbytery
adjourned with that understanding.
DIR. Stric1er had notified his congrega-
ton at Thinking Spring the day before of
his final determination to accept the call
Presbytery concurring, and there 10 but
little doubt that this congregation will at
last lose their beloved pastor.
