SUDDEN ATTACK OF ILLNESS.
Tuesday last, about II o'clock, Judge
Hezekiah Taylor, of the County Court
of Albemarle, was taken suddenly ill
while standing in the store room of
George & Watson. and, for time, there
was serious apprehension that he would
not recover. For more than half an
hour he was almost entirely pulseless,
and his body was covered with profuse
perspiration. Judge Taylor was placed
on "a mattress in the rear room of the
store, and did HOT rally sufficiently to be
carried home until late in the afternoon.

his attack to the oppressive heat

Thousands of people poured into Bedford
from all directions GA Wednesday morning to
attend s. Fl. Barrett & Co.'s circus, and during
the day and evening our town presented a de-
cidedly lively appearance. The crowd was a
money spending one and the merchants report
an immense business done. The dispensers of
liquid refreshments reaped a golden harvest
and many good men went wrong.
The afternoon performance was attended by
over 3, 100 people, while the crowd that gathered
in the evening was almost as large. The show
was, in every respect, one of the best that ever
exhibited here. The corps of circus performers
cannot be excelled, and their feats of skill and
daring brought forth frequent rounds of ap-
plause. Those in charge of departments exert
ed themselves to please and oblige their pat
rons, while the general discipline and good

In speaking of Malone, the Richmond
State says:-
How plain il is that this petty Boss
has sold himself into slavery to the
StaIwart Radicals, and that when he
made his corrupt bargain he ceased to be
Democrat, in spite of his false declara-
ton that ne was better Democrat than
the Democrats in the Senate who re-
preached bin for his treachery. AS to
Democrats, the Boss looks upon them
all as his enemies-unless he can deceive
them into voting as he commands. How
stealthily he was enticing Democrats
along the way that led to the house OF
his Stalwart-R Radical master! He con-
fessed in his illiterate Boston letter that
he had to make haste slowly in his de-
ception of the people who had been
voting with him, but his vanity has
turned his head, and he has unwittingly
disclosed his villainous purposes too
soon. He has thus driven many Demo
Gratis from him, and the coming elections
will show how much he has lost by his
perfidy."
