County Road Law.

For the Vind acatof:-
The defeat of the road law resulted
from failure to examine it carefully, and
most absurd statements Of it's effect. To
meet general desire for better roads and
remove the complaint made by labor that
capital, under the present system, does not
sustain its proper share of the burden
the new law invested the Supervisors with
the power and discretion of laying small
tax on proper ty in aid of labor. In order
to mr. otect both from the possibility of any
undue burden the new law prescribed a
maximum of taxation and of labor. This
restriction on the Supervisors gave fright
to many. and rise to earnest opposition
These cautious people forgot the fact that
the Supervisors always have had unllmit-
ed power and discretion in the amount of
the county levy; and SO with the County
or did not know, that under the present
law there is no limit to the number of
DAYS work which the road surveyor can re-
quire of him annually. The largest tax
and most labor admissible under the new
law was prescribed to limit the Supervisors
in cases of destructive floods like those Of
1870 and 1877, in restoring tho bridges and

ATTACKED BY BLACK SNAKEs.-Dur-
ing the week Mrs Camden, who lives on
the Lexington and Covington turnpike
road, one mile from town, was attacked
by two black snakes whilst on her way to
the spring, There is path through a
field of grass leading to the spring along
which she was going when the snakes made
fight. One of them wrapped itself around
her foot and ankle, whilst the other stood
on its tail and endeavored to get about
her waist and neck. She fought the rep
tiles with bucket which she had in her
hands and cried out Justify. when her son,
a young man, came to the rescue with
hoe. One of the snakes left Mrs. Camden
and made vigorous assault upon the
young man, but he speedily dispatched it
with the hoe and went to the relief Of his
mother and succeeded in killing the other
snake.
The snakes were of the species known
as racers" and noted for their propensity
to chase people when disturbed. They were
about feet long and very slim.
Mrs. Camden, though terribly frighten-
ed, has suffered no ill consequences from
the encounter Lexington Va., Gazette.

REMARKABLE INCIDENT OF THE WAR

REMARKABLE INCIDENT OF THE WAR.
"A gentleman of our acquaintance rela-
ted to us recently an incident Of the war
which was new to us, and is worthy of re-
cord. The farm Of gentleman named
Mclean constituted part of the field
unon which the first battle of Manassas
was fought on the memorable 21st of July,
1861. Believing that the section of Vir-
cinia in which he resided would be the
theatre of future conflicts, he concluded
to seek more peaceful location, where he
would not be disturbed by the tramp of
armies and the havoc of battles, and, af-
ter mature consideration and careful
search. decided to locate in Appomattox
county. He sold his farm, purchased q
residence at Appomattox Court house, and
remoyed his family and household effects
to that point, supposing himself to be Sc
cure from the invasion of the contending
hosts. Four years thereafter the remnant
of General Lees army made their last
stand at Appomattox Courthouse, and,
strange to say, the articles of surrender
were drawn up and signed in McLean's
house. He had seen the beginning and
the end 1.-The great conaict.-Charlottes-

First Letter from New Railroad Station.

May 25, 1852.

May Is, 1882.
Editors Tindicator.
Please state for the information of your
readers and the public generally that this
station on the Shenan doah Valley Rail-
road line has been officially named "Vesu-
vius," and is so printed in the company's
list of depots. 1t is twenty six miles South
west of Waynesboro and about two miles
to the left of Midway, (Steele's Tavern P.
OIL as you pass up the old stage road from
Staunton to Lexington. Freight and ma
terial ears are now running to Loeb Laird
on North River, which point is the juno
tioa Of the s. V. and the Lexington branch
OF the r. & A. roads. But a small por-
ton of the line remains to be completed,
and by the 18th of June it will be opened
through to Roanoke and ready for full
passenger and freight business. Through
this immediate section the company have
built over solid ground and heavily balas-
ted a most substantial piece of track and
if the whole line is thus constructed, as [
understand it is, or will be. they will GER
tainly have solid and reliable roadway
capable of carrying expedtiously and safe
ly trains of all kinds.
Work on the Valley r. R. is progress
sing rapidly also. This line runs parallel
with the Shen. Valley line through this
section, and depot has been located on
the Valley line opposite the Vesuvius, and
also about two miles from Midway, SO it
will be seen that the two lines and their
respective dtpots in this section of the
country are only four miles apart. This
last feat OF the village Of Midway in be-
coming half way point will most likely
dispel all its visions and hopes of future
greatness as a commercial center. This
station of the Valley Railroad is located
on the land of MIR. Jas. e. A. Gibbs, aud
has been given the name of Raphine. l
cannot tell certainly the derivation Of this
uame. but some one has said that it is
Greek for sewing machine" A town
site is being laid off at Raphine, and un-
derstand that real estate has gone up kit
ing. the choice lots being held at some
thing like New York prices. The build
ing of two railroads through here has
walked up the denizens of this staid sec
tion and enhanced their ideas many hum
bred per cent. It is worse than the effect
of from four to six glasses OF Bourbon
straight on some people you have seen and
read of. Could it be kept up, one might
expect to see in a few years one solid town
built up, reaching from Vesuvius to Ra-
phine with old Midway as the center and
keystone of the structure.
The past long wet spell has considerably
retarded farm work. Oats, corn and veg
etables are backward, but grass and wheat
are very promising. Health of the popu-
lation hereabouts good. No recent deaths
or marriages. More anon.

In Norfolk where Cameron's majority
was 454. Lamb, Coalition mayor was elect

the Wing the night before prophesied 800
majority In the vote the Coalitionists gave
the black man taste of the use they have
for him. They nominated colored man
for Street Commissioner, but at the polls
Thursday, the white Coalitionists would
not support him and the result was, that
while Lamb was elected mayor by 300. the
colored Street Commissioner was found to
be defeated by II votes.

Tbs Conservative primary ticket is beat
en- in The Second Ward by the defeat of
Col Vim l.. BGmeardner. No contest in
First Ward. The ring has received hard
blow.
The above is a tel. gram from Staunton
to the Richmond u hig which editorially
announces: IA great gain for the Read
justers in S;aunton, where they carry one
of two wards - To show the fallacy of
both the telegram and the editorial it is
only necessary to state the fact that there
was not Readjust er candidate in the
Geld in either ward. and the only Read
juster whose name was on the "Citizens' -
ticket was that Of our venerable fellow
citizen, Col. Thomas A. Gordon. who
was put up whether by authority or not,
we cannot say: but we rather expect with
out authority for magistrate in the LIST
ward The Colonel only got 81 votes out
of 24S cast il that ward! The defeat of
Col. Bumgardner was a hard blow, not to
ga ring'' but to all who desired to see elect
ed an unflipching, always staunch DEM
ocrat; a publlc-splrited citizen, who has
taken liberal hand in every enter
prise for the benefit of his city, and gen.
tleman whose qualifications for the Office
he was named for had been endorsed the
day before by primary of ive-sixths of
the white Democratic party OF Stanton.
The facts of the matter are simply that
q number of Democrats who regarded
themselves as unfairly treated by the PR,
mary plan, resolved to record their pro-
test at the polls. To do this they inserted
TWO names for Councilman in each ward
to vote for as a test. There were some
other names, but the Councilmen were re-
garded as test. In the First ward they
put up Mr.. c. L. Weller, sound Demo-
crat and merchant Of high standing, and
Mai. T. G. Elder. OF course, Maj. Elder,
who had been defeated in the Primary by
a tie vote decided by lot, and whose name
must have been put on without reflection,
Immediately declined. In the Second
ward they put up DR.. N. Wayt. a we'll
known druggist. and Democrat as we'll, and
Mr.. John B. Evans. large tobacco man

know who was the author of a leading ed
itorial in the Jefersonian of May 18th, in
which Brown Allen is severely criticised.
Young Mr.. Blakey informed Mr.. Wise
that the Jefersonia,a held itself responsible
for any and all articles published by it,
Mr.. Wise then called on Judge William }.
Robertson, and it is rumored that he en-
gagged his services in suit, which is to be
entered against the Jetersonia'o for calum

a CITY HOSPITAL,

Looking back for the past two or three
years, journalists, whose occupation more
particularly calls their attention to the suf
fering by accident and otherwise in COM
munity. can find many cases of suffer-
ing, some ending in death, which should
appeal to the public spirit and still more
50 the humanity of our people to establish
hospital. There are many cases of acct
dent and illness that occur among US that
small hospital, however eheaply conduct
ed might afford medical skill and kind
nursing to. It is hard for those who
could help to know who it is needs help;
the poor do not often give the signal Of
distress. But hospital would be home
of refuge with it's doors always OPEN
And it is not only for those that cannot
pay that a hospital is needed. Stanton
is growing town, it is sort Of head
quarters for commercial travellers in tho
Valley; it is the home of number of
young railroad men whose kindred ana
friends are elsewhere and who are merely
<oarders among US; numbers of our own
young men have not homes in which they
could receive the best of nursing and med
ical treatment. A hospital would be of
priceless value at some times to some men
and some women, and they would willing
" pay for the service.
It wouldn't cost much. A cottage.
with the rent free to some one to keep it
in order; cot therein kept up by each of
the congregations Of the city; an annual
list of money contributors in however
small way; free medical attendance by
the physicians of the city; free gifts Of
delicacies for the sick from charitable
women, and dozen other things we
might mention which would make the
hospital cheap success.
We suggest to the charitable women Of
Staunton-for in cause of this sort, one
of them is worth dozen men-that they
consider this subject. 1t is an easy way,
within the reach of our community, with
cut extravaganza outlay to aid those who
may from any reason, need help in sick
ness.

A CARD.


The Whsq of the 26th instant, copying
a telegram sent from this place to The
State, signed "Grady," giving an alleged
interview between young Mr.. Blakey and
Mr.. John S. Wise, has this additional
comment:
"Mr. Blakey (who is the responsible
author of the article alluded toy is under
stood to be very old gentleman, over
seventy years of age, which fact leaves no
other recourse but suit"
In reply to this comment, would state
that Mr.. A. R. Blakey is not ''a very old
gentlemen over 70 years of age;" that the
question of Mr.. ljlakey's age was not
mooted In the interview referred to; that
no such ground was taken and no other
satisfaction was demanded; but on the
contrary Mr.. Wise distinctly stated to my
brother that he did not come for any per-
sonal difficulty in regard to the matter
My father is not so old as it is alleged be
is understood" to be, and if Mr.. Allen
believes that he has no other recourse ex-
cept suit he is entirely mistaken, and had
any wish of Mr.. Allen been expressed for
a different kind of satisfaction he could
have gotten it from me, at least as young
as himself.

The editorial which gave rise to this
action was very bitter one, and among
other things charged, that in the Kendall
bond enquiry case the judgment of the
Police Court was that Mr.. Allen had sworn
falsely; that the judgment of both that
court and the Circuit Court was that Mr..
Allen was not worthy of belief under oath
and that Mr.. Allen kept from the Board of
Sinking Fund Commissioners the fact of
Kendall having offered a bribe until after
the contract had been let. In the Jeferso-
MAN of last Wednesday the editor, having
exam ined into the facts more closely franks
ly admits his error on these points and
adds:
1t gives us pleasure to make these cor
rsctions and to withdraw all unfavorable
comments made by us in the said article,
based upon the want of information upon

only corrections and notifications of the

proper for us to make upon the facts now
