Agricultural fairs have always proved

Agricultural fairs have always proved
to be powerful auxiliarles in the educa-
ton of the communities in which they are
held. The noticeable improvements, in vhe
stock and farming interests of our county
are largely due to the existence in our
midst of this Augusta Fair. We hope our
own people are fully alive to this fact, and
will add to the interest of the coming ex
hibition by turn out which will make
the Fair a grand financial success. We
will have visitors from every section of
the country, let us see that the represen-
tation of Augusta county is worthy of
her reputation.

PAUL.
Every Democrat in this District, whether
Readjuster or Funder, in State politics
ought, in this national issue. to vote for
O'Ferrall over Paul, because:

treasury, still exacts seve1a millions of dol
lars; from Vsrqiasa EVERY YEAR. Paul
will vote with the Republicans to MAN.

2. O'Ferrall will in Congress, oppose
President Arthur. who vetoed the bill by
which Virginia improvements received the
largest appropriation they ever got from the
national government. Paul will support
that President.
8. O'Ferrall will oppose an Administra-
ton that is seeking to debauch whole
section of the country by the gift of petty
offices for political purposes. Paul will
support it.
4. O'Ferrall in case where even Calk-
ms, {Republican Chairman of the Election
Committee) says he cannot vote to seat
the Republican contestant, because his
conscience will not allow him, will at
least have as much conscience as Calkins.
Paul will vote to seat him-proof- did

A friend writing from
Stanton informs me, that in a public
speech made there by you, on the night of
the 2lst inst, you referred to my opposition
to the "Commissiontr of Sales Bill" as
stated in speech made by me at the same
place, and made use Of the following Ian
guage: ut would have been well for him
if that bill had been passed at an earlier
date, as it would have saved him from
bankruptcy, for purloning judicial funds. !"
write to enquire whether or not on the
occasion named, you made the remarks
above given, or remarks of similar I'M
port.
Absence from the State until day before
yesterday, and business interest cOntinu-
Ousiy since my return. have delayed my

THE MEDICAL COLLEGE At
RICHMOND.

AS we are much more interested in the
cause of educating at her OWL metropolis
those young men of Virginia who elect to
be physicians, than we are in the failure
or success of the Malone people to obtain
control of the medical college there, it
gives us the greatest pleasure to announce
that the College commenced it lectures on
Monday last with the largest class 1t has
ever had. And, further, that however the
courts, to which the dispute will be refer
red may decide, the present experienced
and distinguished corps of professors with
possibly single exception, will continue
to instruct the classes with clinical advan-
tages superior to any that may be put in
competition with them. Students who
have the advantage offered to them of be-
ing taught by such distinguished Profess
sors as McCaw, Coleman, Wexford. Gull
len, Taylor, Tompkins and James, will ap-
preciate the announcement that an any
event such will be the case.
AS to the political feature Of the mat
ter, it will be remembered that it was
sought at the last legislature to ''reorgan-
ize" Jour readers know that new term
well) the college bat the bill failed. Gov.
Cameron has now taken the matter in
charge and without the passage Of the
bill, is striving to reorganiZe it
himself by the appointment of new
Board of Visitors. Attorney-General
Blair has said, and in addition, W.
W. Gordon is quoted as saying that
he has the legal right; on the other hand,
such distinguished lawyers as Judge Ould.
Judge Crump and J. Alfred Jones, say the
old Board are right in resisting removal.
Whoever is right, the old Board holds on
and the present distinguished faculty is
teaching and will teach hereafter.
THE GREAT DEMOCRATIC PIC
MIC AT FORT DEFIANCE.
The Democrats of Middle River have
gone to work with the zeal which always
characterizes them, in preparing for the
great picnic at Fort Defiance next Thurs
day, to which they invite their brethren
too-for unexpectedly invite the ladies
from all parts of Augusta and the adjoin-
ing counties, with the assurance that am
pie arrangements have been made for their
entertainment. Some of the finest speak
ers in the State will be there-not to bore
their audience with two hour speeches as
was done at the Malone picnic at New
Hope, but to give them short and stirring
addresses. There will be fine music all
day and there is a spacious pavilion on
the ground in the centre Of the grove.
We are sure that the Middle River men
mean what they say when they tell Us that
they intend to make it day long to be
remembered by the Augusta Democracy.
Half fare from alf points on the line be-
tween Woodstock and Staunton will be
charged on the Valley Railroad. Trains
will be run between Staunton and Fort

REPLY OF CAPT. JOHN 3. WISH TO MAJOR
JOHN W. DANIEL.
RICHMOND, Sept. 30th, 1882.
Maj. John ". Daniel:
Your enquiry
through the hands of Maj. Patton was
duly reed.
In response have to say that your in
formant entirely misrepresented what
said.
cannot quote my exact language, for
1t was extemporaneOus, but the unmlstak-
able sense and pnrpors of it was. that il
the ''Commissioner' Of Land Sale" bill,
or one like it, had passed in time, it would
have saved you from the verge OF bank
ruptcv by the liabilities left upon you by
your former partner, which you had been
compelled TO pay to protect yourself.
1t seems to me that nothing but malig-
nifty could have reported my language con-
corning you as rejecting on your personal
integrity. Resp,y,
JNo. 8. WISE.

A BRUTAL MURDER,
A Jealous Husband Beats Out the Brains OF
HIS Wifo's Admirer.

William A. Price, a farmer, living with
his family about mile below Shickshinny,
in Luzerne county, was the victim of the
jealousy of Freeman Souder, who claims
that Price had been on too intimate terms
with his wife. The maddened husband re-
ceived intelligence from some source on
Saturday morning that Price had been away
with Mrs. Souder the evening before and
he determined to put an end to the inter-
course by putting Price out of the way.
BY some method, not At present under
stood, he managed to get Prices family
out of the house on Saturday night. This
left Price alone in the house. When night
came on Souder, armed with big club,
repaired to the homestead and on being
admitted by Price himself at once began
terrible assault upon him. No one knows
what time Souder left the house, but when
tho family returned they were Mortified to
find the husband and father lying in pool
Of blood on the floor of the parlor in a
senseless condition. Upon a close exami-
nation it was discovered that the back of
Prices bead was crushed to jelly, his
forehead split open, revealing an ugly cash,
anu his nose broken. There were evidences
of a severe struggle, as the walls and floor
were spattered with blood. Price cannot
possibly survive his injuries. Souder fled.
Warrants for his arrest arc out and several
officers are after him. Great excitement
prevails in the neighborhood, as both men
were well known.

A Young Married Man Cuts His Throat and
Throws Himself from Window.
A peculiarly horrible case of suicide has
occurred in the northeastern section of
Philadelphia. August Schuman, a young
married man, residing at No. 2145 North
Fifth street, was the victim. He left his
wife and child on Saturday, and seemed
to be very much depressed in spirits. His
wife became alarmed at his absence, ard
instituted search for his whereabouts. He
was a morocco dresser by trade, and
worked in the establishment of Louis
Schuman & Son, No. 1927 Canal street,
At an early hour yesterday he visited
the factory aud proceeded to the third
floor, where he was employed. Taking a
blunt-pointed knife he made several at.
tempts to cut his throat, and, in his efforts,
made number of ugly gashes on his chin.
He finally plunged the ragged blade into
his neck and twisted it around. The blood
gushed from the wounds, and the man,
disgusted with not accomplishing his pur-
pose, raised the window and jumped to
the pavement below. Subsequently he
was found in an unconscious condition,
bleeding profusely from the gashes in his
neck and chin, and his right arm and both
legs fractured. He was picked up to be re-
mtv"' to st. Mary's hospital, but expired
bef tie reaching the institution.
In bis pockets was found q letter writ.

The Church, Choir Singers Returning with
Heavy Hearts and Light Pockets.
The members of the Church Choir
opera company of Philadelphia are return
ing from the West, disguised with their
dramatic experience. After leaving Phil
adelphia they played successfully in Will
miugton, Cumberland, Nd, Wheeling,
GAINESVILLE, Columbus, st. Louis, Kenosha,
Wis, and St. Julien, III. At Chicago mis-
fortunes first befel! them. They had
played Patience for one week, when
they advertised "The Muskatecrs" and
"Claudc Duval," but were not able to
produce the latter at that time named.
That week their salaries did not appear.
From the Grand opera house they
went to the Rink opera house, IA summer
theatre. The weather was cold and damp
and they were still unfortunate. The
manager took them to Milwaukee, where
they gave two Sunday performances, but
received no pay, IntrOpidi, the leader Of
the orchestra deserted at this point, and
Mr.. Monteith took his place. Returning
to Chicago thoy played "Pinafore." 1t
was their last performance. The next
morning, before they had arisen, the land
lOrd seized their trunks as security for
their board.
Those who could pay escaped the rest
remained in bonds until the manager
could pawn the costumes to set them free.
All arc now coming back, sadder and
wiser. Thomas A. Hall, late of the Ly-

dentist, the managers, blame their ill
success upon the negligence Of the per-

ANOTHER FIRE.
A Stable and Slaughter House Burned.

"A Stable and Slaughter House Burned.
At exactly o'clock yesterday afternoon
fire alarm was struck from Box No. 13,
at Ann and East King streets, caused by
the burning of two story stable owned
by George Darmstetter and situated on an
alley in rear Of 432 East KING street. The
alarm being sounded from a box on this
street, the entire fire department re-
sponded and were promptly at work. The
building was of brick, but as the fire had
gained a pretty good start it was but a
short time until the woodwork was burned
and scarcely anything was left but the
walls. A small frame slaughter house,
which was attached to the stable, was also
burned. On the east side of the burned
building is the brick stable Of John
Herr, which was full of hay. The firemen
gave this their attention, and it was saved
without mark.
When the fire was first discovered it was
in the northwestern corner of the building,
at tho place where it connected with the
slaughter house. Mr.. Darmstetter's family
and neighbOrs began work at once. Two
horses and several carriages and wagons
were removed from the building. A hay
cutter, carriage tongue, a small quantity
of hay and few other things were burned.
In the slaughter house there were ropes,
tackling, scales, &C., which were burned.
There was an insurance of $3.50 on the con-
tents in both buildings, and that will cover
the loss. The slaughter house and stable
were insured for $3.50, but that amount is
several hundred dollars short of the loss.
There is no doubt about the origin Of
the fire, as it was the work Of an incen-
diary, who gained an entrance to the
building and touched it off at tho point
where the fire was first seen The build
ing is situated on an alley which is not
travelled a great deal, ana it would be
easier for fire bug to escape through it
than many others in the city. 1t has been
but few months since tobacco ware
house was burned in the same alley near
this point.
