Venable's Arithmetics.

POISONING CArTLE.-On Sunday week
in the Crabtree Range, nine miles from
Midway, eight cattle worth 5000 died from
poison. Five of them belonged to Mr.. JAS
b. Smith, and three to Mr.. Thomas Will.
lians.: They had been sent to the care Of
Mr.. Geo. Hite. who has the range. On
Sunday young man saw them gathered
at stream Of water, and found that two
OF them had lain down and died while
drinking. All eight died in five hours
The bodies Of five of them were opened but
no sign of any poisonous plant was found.
1t is suspected that they were Intentional
ly poisoned, though the owners nor Mr..
Hite can divine no motive for the act.
Measures have been taken to find the per
petrators of the act, who will be prosecuted
to the fullest extent of the law.

THE WOoDsON & ALLEN MINsTRELs.
At the new and cosy Masonic Hall to-
night this company, now numbering elgh'
teen, appears. We have not seen the new
troupe, but we know that the two mana
gers have popularity here that wears as
well as Sol Smith Russell's. This fact does
not rest altogether OF their talent, though
that is confessed, but we suspect some
what on the ground that they are good
sons.' It is q fact that may not be gener-
ally known that these two young men,
Woodson and Allen. are sober. hard-work-
ing young fellows in their profession, who
at the end OF every month, wherever they
may be, send their profits home the one
to support an aged mother and the other
to aid two aged parents past aiding them
selves. After all, a song like this is equal
to any song these young fellows can sing
to win the applause of the public. With
this troupe is the noted Hayden Quartette,
which many of our readers heard at the
Centennial. for which they were engaged.

HAZEL KIRKE AND "ESMERALDA. D.
It is only at long intervals that Staunton
has the opportunity to enjoy such real
theatrical. treat Us the Madison Square
Theatre Company furnished them last
week. Although they had given Hazel
Klrke here two seasons ago. fine and, APP
preciatlve audience attended the presenta-
ton of that delightful comedy drama. And
it was never so we'll given here. The next
night Thursday, the we'll balanced COM
pany gave Esmeralda for the FIRST time
here, and the large audience was complete
ly captured. Every character is we'll sus-
tanned in this really fine play which never
flags in interest from the time the first
curtain rises till the last falls. Among
the special favorites are Mr.. r. +. McClan-
min, Miss Belle Gilbert, MIR. F. N. Bur-
beck and Miss Clara Spence. McClannin
is the best Dunstan Kirke we ever saw,
and we don't care to see u better Ebert
Rogers. When he Islands up agin moth
er" the house is obliged to come down.
The Gilberts have true genius which fas-
tens the attention of the audience whenever
they come On the stage. 1t is as remarka-
ably displayed in Barney O'Flynn and
George Drew as in Hazel Kirke and
Esmeralda. But as we said ut first all
the characters were good, and it Is hardly
fair to name one without naming ALL
Staunton will give the company good
audience whenever they com. here.

Distressing Accident.
A DEAF-MUTE KILLED ON THE TRACT
AND HIS BROTHER WOUNDED.

A DEAF-MUTE KILLED ON THE TRACK
AND HIS BROTHER WOUNDED.
Some days ago, Mr.. G. E. Akers, of
Dillon's Mill, Franklin county, brought
his two little Sons. Thomas. aged ten, and
Elmore, aged seven years, TO be educated
at the ID. d. 81 B. Institution. The little
fellows had never been away from home
before and were exceedingly 10th to stay.
They we're 80 anxious to return home with
their father that to avoid the pain of part
Ing with them he had to slip off. After
their father left, their home sickness was
still greater, and on Monday morning, on
the pretence Of going to an out-bullding,
they slipped out of the Institution grounds
and going over to the Chesapeake & Ohio
road the little ones started down the
track to walk all the way to their far off
home. As soon as they were missed, Mon
dior Fulcher got on horse and started at
ter them, rightly guessing the route they
had taken. But Death was in advance of
him and but few moments before he
reached point where he could have head
ed them off, a railroad train struck them,
mortally wounding the elder and serious
Iy injuring the younger.
The train was the morning accommoda-
tion. Capt. Pat WoodWard's 3, which leaves
at 8:45, A. NJ, for Charlottesville. On
turning a short curve in the road mile
east of Fishersville, the engineer found
the little fellows in front of his engine. He
blew his whistle, of course without avail,
and put on his brakes, but the boys trudg-
ed on until the engine struck them ard
threw them from the track. The elder one
had his skull crushed and received inter-
ual injuries, as was evident from his vom
dting blood; and the younger escaped with
a broken leg. The boys were taken on
board and carried to the residence of DR..
W. J. Jones at Waynesboro, who, with
Drs. Myers and Arbuckle, gave them
every attention until the arrival of DR..
Gibson of Staunton, the Division Surgeon
of the road, who had been telegraphea for
Thomas died in a short time, but the
Younger brother is In no danger.
Capt. Woodward brought the body te
stanton Monday. He was greatly dis
tressed at the accident, and said thai
"bringing the little dead boy back was the
saddest duty he had ever performed OF
course there could be no blame attached
to those on the train, as they did every
thing men could do to prevent the acct
dent, and took means which in any case
except this peculiar one would have been
successful. Nor is there blame anywhere
it being just one of those cases that no hu.
man foresight could prepare for. The be-
reayed father has the sympathy of the
community, and may have the melancholI
satisfaction of knowing that all that could
be done was done to save his boy.

TRAGIC END OF AN ELoPEMENT.@Six
months ago two sisters named Merriweth-
er, daughters of prominent citizen of
Huntsville, Alabama, and bellies of that
town, eloped to Chattanooga and were
married there. Soon after the marriage
one OF the wives. whose husband was
named Davis, discovered that he was a
gambler and opium eater. He treated her
cruelty, and she left him. She and her
mother spent the summer at Rhea Springs.
Hs logged her footsteps, and OIL Tuesday
night told her to return to him or muir
der would follow. He had pistol in his
hand at the time. She was also armed,
and in an instant shot him through the
body. He died on Thursday.
The above, from an exchange, is believ-
ed to refer to Miss Lucy Merriwether, who
formerly resided in Staunton IN order to
attend the Augusta Female Seminary
She was young lady of remarkable in
tellect and had the highest regard of all
who knew her. 1t is stated in addition to
the above that she has been placed in an
Insane asylum since the tragic occurrence.
