Strdsbat9g.-Nom de Plume is
ahead of us in complimenting the new
editor of the STAR, but then he lives
nearer the sanctum, and was first to
hear the news.
Died.-On Friday, the 9th inst, at
the residence of her mother (Mrs. Su-
san Fisher, at Fishers Hill, of con,
sumption, Mrs. Clara Haney, lately of
Minnesota. She leaves husband, one
child and many friends to mourn her
loss. She was cut down in the prime
of life, aged about 80 years. Rev. Mr..
Hicks presided at the funeral.
Burned.-On Tuesday, the I'd inst,
Eliza Cook, colored, whilst engaged in
washing clothes in the yard by an open
fire, at the residence of Mrs. Amos
Stickley. Her dress caught from the
flames, and she ran wildly about the
yard, attempting to catch different
members of the family, which render
ed it impossible to give her such as
sistanoe as might have been in their
power. Almost all of her clothing
was burned from her person, and her
body was literally roasted. She is,
however, alive at the time of writing.
But little hopes are entertained of her
recovery.

Visitors come and go, and sometimes
we fail to hear of them. But we have
heard that Mr.. South of Maryland,
is visiting in Strasburg, very frequent
ly. Can't say what it all means.
Miss Bertha Won Hilbern and Miss
Beckett, artists from New England,
arrived here on Saturday, the 9th in

IMPORTANT TO ALL.--The most
general complaint that seems to spare
neither class nor condition of person,
is seated in the liver. Many, with
woe BECOME countenanees, respondent
spirits and depressed feelings, exag-
gerate every event until even suicide
has been known to result from this
morbid condition of body and mind,
yet Simmon' Liver Regulator is known
to be a specific for affections Of the
Liver, Spleen and Kidneys. Unlike
most preparations it fully meets the
wants of the patient whose liver or
stomach is disorganized, and soon re-
stores the emaciated and spiritless dys-
peptic sufferer to a more hopeful con-
dition of life than he could otherwise
hope to attain.

Mr.. Tracey, living on the Renner
farm, had horse stolen from him a
few days since, but has been fortunate
enough to get the animal back again.
The court house on Monday and
Tuesday was we'll filled with persons
interested in the liquor traffic ques-
ton, the occasion being an application
to the county court for license to keep
a bar-room at Round Hill, whic h was
resisted by petition from a number of
citizens in the vicinity. The question
having been adjourned over from the
preceding Monday, was discussed at
length on both sides, and after hear
ing arguments and statements of wit
nesses the court denied the applica-
ton. Many of our country people
whose farlning operations had been
interrupted by the rains embraced the
opportunity to hear the discussions.
A house occupied by Mr.. Boyd, near
town, was destroyed by fire one day
last week.
The quick music, regular step and
sharp click, click of the drill of Mrs.
Hamilton's calesthenic class is heard
in the court house hall several times

1t seems to US, Mr.. Editor, that they
have primitive way of doing things
over on the Blue Ridge, in Clarke
county. We were in that section last
week on business, and overlook two
men who had been sent for coffin to
bury child, and were then on their
way home with the desired article
They were entirely overcome with
their sorrow-or something else, per-
haps pinls-eye or red eye-and after
going a short distance one of them
was compelled to dismount and lie
down in fence corner to rest. The
other took the coffin and proceeded a
short distance further toward his des-
tination when he, too, became fatigued
and requested us to take charge of it
and deliver the coffin at certain
house Just ahead, which he described.
On arriving at the house we introduced
ourself made known our business, and
handed the coffin to an old lady, who,
after taking it up stairs to show to the
mother, brought it down again, and
leisurely drawing out the upper draw
er of an old bureau, took out the
corpse and deposited it in the cof-
fin. The old lady then requested us,
"as we was the only men folks pres
emit, to assist at the funeral We
complied with her request, and taking
the coffin in our arms, we wendell our
way to the Graveyard near an old
church, followed by several women
and children. After digging the grave
somewhat deeper than we found it,
we properly inferred the remains, and
left the mourners to themselves, glad
to have done them this little service. V.

A Tall Fish Story.

A fish story comes from the vicin. {
ity of Sea Girt, II. j. 1t is stated
that one day the family of q much
respected clergyman living in cot
tage near that fashionable resort
were without meat or fish for dinner,
and were driven to the probability
of having to dine on cabbage and
other vegetables. About 10 o'clock
in the morning large fish hawk vas
seen TO swoop down TO The sea and
rise with fish in his heak. 1t is
well known that this is the manner
in which the fish hawk does his
marketing, and having thus secured
his prey, taken it home to his wife
and children in theil nest on top OF
high tree. 1t so happened that
this fish hawk had caught too large
q fish. 1t was ten pound blueish,
and it struggled violently for liberty
when captured by the hawk. Pres
emily, just as the hawk was flying
over the poor clergyman's back yard,
the fish got the better of him, and
hit the hawk such q powerful blow
with his tail that the hawk was glad
to let him drop. The fish suddenly
descened among the clergyman's Is
wife and daughters who were sitting
in the shade of tree outside the
kitchen and preparing their fruga
meal. They accepted the fish as ;
Gift from heaven, whence, indeed, i
seemed to have come, SO enexpecte'
and startling was it's descent fror
above. The clergyman's family cal
ed in two or three of their nelghboI
and enjoyed with them substanti'
fish dinner. The poor fish hawk ha
to make other provision for his fan
ily in the tree top. This is only
fish story, yet 1t is said to be voucl
ed for by several excellent and tru
worthy people.

FLOWING IN WINTER,

Periods cf mild weather occasionally oc-
cur during the winter, and where the fall
blowing has been omitted, ii may prufitably
bs done later. The agency of frost in max
ing the soil fine and increasing its fertility
is not sufficiently appreciated. II the SOIL
he trenched vr plowed after the crops are
gathered and left in deep burrows, nearly
twice the surface is exposed to the FROST
The alternate freezing and thawing breaks
lown the coarse Jumps aid makes he plant
food therein more available for the crops Of
the coming season. Flowing at this season
hlso disturbs the winter rel reat of many in
sects that will be destroyed by exposure to
frost. The advantage of working the soil in
late tall and winter is seen in the cultiva-
tion of celery. The stirring of the soil in
hlanching the crop, and ths rough shape in
which the trenches are left, give the frost
and rains fair opportunity 70 improve it's
tilth. Frost will fine the soil more perfect
ly than any tools OF the cultivator. 1t not
'nly releases the inert plant food in the suil ,
nut makes the manure that is added more
available Tor the crops of the next season.

FARMERS COLUMN.
PURE-BRED STOCK.
DIR. n. d. HALsrED,

As rule pure-bred stock is not the most
profitable for farmers to keep. Many who
have tried to breed herd Of pure blood
animals have failed. The cost to begin
with s'lsrge. The writer recently visited
a herd VI Jersey cattle, some Of the cows in
which had cost many hundreds Of dollars
The product in flesh and milk from these
animals is not so much over that Of the
grade COW as to warrant the prices paid.
The management that such close bred stock
requires is much greater than grade stock ;
that'is, crosses between the pure blood and
the native stock. Pure blood animals aud
herds, like the one above mentioned, are of
v .lue as breeding centres, from which the
great mass Of common stock ran be built up.
AT low estimate the value Of the grade
product ca bo raised SIS or $40 each, the
e irst season. II may be that farmer with
large hsrd Of grades thus produced can af-
ford to keep two or three pure blood ami
mails for further improvement Of the herd,
but in many cases it will be better 10 re-
plenish the pure blood from one Of the CEN
tres Of puch stock. II is national blessing
that clancy farmers" as they are sometimes
called, are pleased to make such large in
vestments In pure blood stock, for by this
means the supply of any breed is kept up,
It would be calamity if from any cause
these carefully managed herds should all be
broken up and scattered. 1t is through
them that the whole live stock of the coun-
try is to be improved by gradual process
of grading. In this important work the less
fortune favored stockmen may find pro-
6table field Of labor.-Amcrican Agricul-

ITEMS OF FASHION.

Flax gray wool dresses,
worn with pale pink trim
mings, is the latest fancy in
troduced by Sarah Bernhardt.
The latest fancy for neck
lingerie is to unite several
colors in the ribbon bows that
mingle with the laces at the
throat.
The fancy work of the mo-
ment is the crocheting of IL
celle-colored twine of I'M
bleachcd cotton into collars
and cuffs for dresses. F
Every lady should have a
plush jacket in black, seal
brown or some other color
which will harmonic with
any kind of a skirt.
Ornaments long ago laid
aside are beingrapidly brought
to light to supply the demand
from all sides for passemen-
terie and cord trimming.
The boufant tournure dra-
peries now worn give all wo-
men very unsymmetrical and
even ludicrous figures.
Tucked sleeves, fitted very
closely to the arms, are seen
upon a number Of imported
dresses Of artistic, aesthetic
make.
