Death of James A. Caswell.

James A. Caswell, who had been employed in a general capacity by the Consolidated road for the past seventeen years, died November 30, aged 56 years. He had been in impaired health for over year, but not so much as to cause a total cessation from his duties. His complaint was Bright's disease. His death occurred at the residence of his brother-in- law, George W. Darrow, 97 Water street. Deceased was member of Union Lodge, K. of F., and his remains were inferred Sunday, December 3, in the Fair Haven cemetery, Rev. Mr Ball being the officiating clergyman, and the K. of P. attending in body. Mr. and Mrs. Darrow desire to express their heartfelt thanks to their friends for their kindness and attention during their affliction, but especially and particularly to the occn- pants of the house, Mrs. Connor and daugh- ters.

Personal and Political Honor.

Whether or not there ought to be q dlHerence
between personal and political honor is ques-
ton that would never have been suggested save
by the facts themselves. The well-known
maxim that every thing is fair in love and in
war seems to have been brought into the present
system of political contests, and it would not
be surprising to see it adopted by that inferior
grade of politicians whose inordinate greed
and groveling ambition know nothing else
than to subject all things to the accomplish
ment Of their own selfish purposes.
But accepting. on the other hand. the theory
that there still exists personal purity in poll
tics, and that there are men who claim to pos
sess it, may 1t not be allowed to ask these gen.
t]fmen. when they lend their names. either by
tacit consent or direct agreement. to further
any questionable enterprise, whether they are
not equally culpable with the originatOrs Of
the scheme?
The recent political contest in Staunton fur
nishes an example of men, whose personal
honor never has been questioned lending their
names (and the influence of their names) to
elicit, indirectly if not directly, support of an
aspirant whose political status was hostile to
them. and who had been denounced and OPP
posed by them; and who had aligned himself.
by his past actions, with political party whose
AAOIdl, pOl1llCdis duu pcCuu1SIy hlO AS WAS tuCA
receiying-the same party they have contin-
uously opposed, and in opposing which they
called upon the rank and file of their friends
at the Democratic Primary Election to aid in
defeating.
If honor is inconsistent with politics, or per-
sonal honor is one thing and political honor
another, it becomes these gentlemen, who
would resent any aspersion upon their per-
sonal honor with blow, to define the differ
ence between personal and political honor.

We received call from representative of
the enterprising firm of DECKER & DEMING. OF
1l6 Washington Street, Chicago. who may be
rightfully classed under the above head, and
are pleased to give our readers as a matter of
news anything which we think is valuable.
Our citizens cannot but view with alarm the
rapid increase of CRIME, and so long as our
houses and stores are subject to the assaults of
skillful cracksmen, our greatest securityis to
meet cunning with cunning. Bolts and Locks
can be pulled back and picked, but, we do not
see how the Burglar can do much with the
BURGLAR ALARM just placed on the market
by the above gentlemen. 1t is so constructed
that 1t will fit all kinds of doors, Is easily ad-
justed, and can thrown cut of action by turn
ing a thumbscrew; but, when adjusted for
'jBtsiness," the least turn of the knob causes
the Alarm to strike, 80 that immediate warn
ing is given OF eyen an attempt to enter, and
before the bolt is sufficiently drawn to permit
the door to be opened. The Alarm ia so siWple
in constrL ction that it can not get out of ORDER
is very durable, and reasonable in price, 1t
makes an excellent door bell, and is we'll adapt
ed to hotels, steam boat staterooms. sleeping
apartments and all places where unlawful in
truders are likely to penetrate. The price at
retail is only Two Dollars, postpaid to any adj
dress and 1t would seem to US that no family
or business house should be without it. DECK

munity for bringing odt such valuable con-
trivance; their address is l16 Washing. on

Malone and Riddleberger seem to
have commission from Headquarters
in Washington to run the Republican
party of Virginia as they deem best. A
few dispute their authority, but the
main force of them will bow to their or
ders. They will make big effort to carry
a maj ority of the Congressional Districts
this Fall. and thus pave the way for
turning Virginia over to the Republic
cans at the next President election
These men boosted that they were the
true Democrats of Virginia during the
Hancock canvass, and now they turn
up the leaders of the Republican party,
which they rebaptize with the name Of

SPECIAL NOTICES.

TyHE GREAT HEALTH RESTORER.-
In all ages of the world the skill and sci
entific attachments of man have been directed
to study of the various Ills to which it is heir.
If, after years of constant application, some
distinguished physician has succeeded in COM
pounding an agent by which the slightest ache
NAV ne overcome. he has been hailed as great
benefactor of his race, and with great proprie-
ty the world have gladly sung paans to his
praise. This being proper, in the discovery of
a remedy for single disease, how much more
indebted are the whole human family to the
inventor of Bakers Bitters, medicine that
has stood the test of time, and proved pana-
cea for Dyspepsia, Diarrhoea. Cholea Morbus,
Cramp Collie, Giddiness. Nervous Debility,
Loss Of Appetite. and Sour Stomach, while the
various nostrums of quacks and empires have
f1ourished for an hour and then disappeared
never again to be revived.
Bakers Bi.ters are now used by hundreds Of
families in Virginia as their only medicine.

For the SPECTATOR.
A Complaint.

Ed. Spectator II wish to complain of the
careless use of poison. It has become quite q
mania with some men of putting poison on
the carcasse of sheep killed by dogs. fla dog
k ills a sheep they run for poison without re-
gard to danger to other persons, hogs or fowls.
Some put poison in fields and if that don't kill
all the dogs they shoot the rest skin them and
appropriate their hides to their own use. But
that is not all sheep with poison on them
have been thrown in branches above one Of
our public roads where people water their hor-
SEES, and where other stock drink. This stream
runs through other farms and these people
have to turn their stock out of these fields to
keep them from drinking the water. 1 think
this should be stopped, and the officers of the
law should do it, if some one has to pay the
penalty of the law. It may save the lives Of
some one, or stock more valuable than the
sheep. We would like you to publish the law
on this poison business as parties may not
know the law on the subject. You may hear
more from me in palmer way If this is not
stopped. CITIZEN.

Vote ON the..Road Law.
A SMALL voTE-THE ROAD Law DEFEATED.

But little interest was m anifested in the
county over the proposed road law, voted upon
last Thursday as will be seen by the small vote
cast. which we give below, as made up from
the poll -books,
The commissioners Of election met last Sat-
urday, but had to postpone the official count
until Friday on account of informalities in the
returns from Mt. Sidney. New Hope, Red Mills.
Verona, Lebanon Springs, Fishersville, Spring
Hill, Midway, Middlebrook, and Newport. The
County Clerk, w. A. Burnett, was directed to
issue sumnonses to the judges and clerks Of
election at the above named places to APP
pear here next Friday and make the necessary
corrections as required by law.
We have however, taken the trouble to make
up the poll-books for ourselves. and though 1t
is not official, it shows the vote as cast, and
that the road law has been defeated.

FIT. Anderson as follows -
.This distinguished Jurist of the Court of
Appeals of Virginia is at home for a brief period
OF rest and recreation before the session of the
court at Wytheville. Judge Anderson has
made an enviable reputation during his service
as a member of our highest State judicatory.
His opinions have been marked with ability,
vigorously and elegantly expressed and so
minds of all unprejudiced readers.
He is now the recognized leader of the "old
and State credit. From the deliverance of his
first opinion upon this question down to the
present time he has never wavered in the hon.
esty and integrity of position. In whatever
shape Reputation has shown its head he has
struck 1t a heavy blow. We hope he may give
to the State many years active work yet. and
that the public service will not be deprived Of
