WHOLESALE HOUSE IN SrAUNToN-A NEW

announce that Messrs. Garrett G.. Gooch, Chas.

vtyle of Coo >ch, Hoge & Co., have opened in the
handsome NV building near the American
Hotel in this civ, Wholesale House as Gro
GERS and Commiss ion Merchants, and dealers
in Flour, Grain, seeds. Tobacco. and segars,
and that they PROPOSE to sell goods at whole
sale as low as they can be bought. with freight,
added, in Baltimore or Richmond. We would
say that all the members ,of this firm are well
known here not only as responsible and relia'
BILE business men, but as ple.ssant gentlemen.
and that 1t should be the pleasure Of country
merchants to buy from them, n preference to
merchants in other cities, in. @much as by
30 doing they would leave their money in this.
community instead Of sending it abroad. We
hope that this enterprise will be usta1ned by
our country merchants, and that 1t will be-
made a great success. We hope that retail
dealers will buy their supplies from t his House.

Meeting of Lexington Presbytery.


DISMISSAL OF REV J. W. RosEBRo-cALL OF
REV. G. B. STRICKLER, D. D., TO ATLANTA, GA.
On yesterday, there was called meeting OF
the Lexington Presbytery, held in the session
room Of the First Presbyterian church OF this
city, to act upon the application Of Rev. ]. W.
Rosebro for dissolution OF his pastoral rela-
tions with the Messy Creek congregation OF
this county, and his dismissal to the Green
brier Presbytery to become the Pastor of the
Presbyterian church at Lewisburg, W. Va.
Rev. J. E. Booker, Pastor of the Second Pres
byterian church of Staunton, presided as Mod
orator.
Rev. Mr.. Rosebro stated to the Presbytery
that the relations between him and his con.
greGation were Of the most pleasant and har-
monious characteristic it was painful for him
to sever his connection with them-but that
the field there was too extensive for his physi-
cal ability, and that he thought it his duty to
accept the call to Lewisburg, that man of
more physical strength might take his place
at Messy Creek. and he thought that was the
indication of Providence.
The commissioners, Messrs. James Withrow
and John w. Arbuckle. from the Lewisburg
church. ably and earnestly advocated the dis
missal Of Rev. J. W. Rosebro to that church.
and it was opposed with strong speeches by
Samuel Forrer and Samuel A. East, commits
sioners from the Messy Creek church. as well
as by II. L. Hoover, Elder of the First Presby-
terrain church of this city.
The vote for dismissal STOOD ayes 10; nays g..
Rev. g. B. Stricken, D. D.. of Thinking Spring
church in this county. having accepted a call
to Atlanta, Georgia, on notion the Presbytery
will meet in this city on Wednesday of next
week, the 9th inst, to act upon his applica-
ton for dissolution of his lstoral relations
with the Thinking Spring congregation. and
his dismissal to Atlanta, Georgia. His congre-
CATION will vigorously resist the dissolution OF
his pastoral relation with them.

The papers contain the following account of
terrible domestic tragedy, which recently
occurred at Rhea Springs:
"Six months ago two sisters AIMED Merri-
wether, daughters of a prominent citizen of
Huntsville. Ala, and bellies of that town ,-loprd
to Chattanooga and were married there. soon
after the marriage one of the wives, whose
husband was named Davis. discovered that he
was gambler and opium eater. He treated
her cruelty. and she left him. She and her
mother spent the summer at Rhea Springs
He logged her footsteps, and on Tuesday night
told her to return TO him or o murder would
follow. He had a pistol in his hand ut the time
She was also armed. and i'll an instant shot
him through the body. He died on Thursday"
This unfortunate girl was last year a pupil IN
Staunton and was greatly admired by all who
knew her. and was regarded as one of the
brightest gi,ls in the Augusta Female Semi
nary. We are informed that since this terrible
tragedy she has become deranged.
P.S.-Since the above was in type, we have
learned that the two sisters married brothers
by the name of Davis, and there is some doubt
as to which one of the sisters was the unfortu-
nate one.

Fatal Accident ON the Railroad.
ONE DEAF-MUTE BOY KILLED AND HIS BRoTHEI
SEVERELY, IF NOT FATALLY, INJURED.

Two little deaf mute boys, the sons of a Mr..
Akers, of Dillon's MILL Franklin county, Va.
who have been for a few weeks at the Deaf &
Dumb, and the Blind Institution, escaped on
yesterday morning, and about one mile East of
FishersvilIe were run over by the accomoda-
ton train, of which Capt. Pat Woodward is
conductor. and the older, whose skull was frac-
tured and his Fight leg broken near the ANKLE
besides receiving other injuries, died about
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the younger
had his left thigh broken, and a cut upon the
head. and. though seriously, is not supposed to
be fatally injured. They were taken to Way
nesboro', where all that could be done for them
was done by Drs. Jones, Myers, and Arbuckle,
but unfortunately the older was too severely
injured to be saved by the most skillful surgery.
I'VE are indebted to two Waynesboro' corre-
spondents for the facts mentioned above They
will accept our thanks for their promptness in
communicating them to US. For the want of
space, we condensed them into as small COM
pass as possible.]
P.S.-After the above was put into the hands
of the printer. we received the following &C.
count from an officer of the D. D. & B. Institu-
ton, which may be relied upon as correct
1.-TWO little deafmute brothers, named Akers,
yesterday morning and were struck by q train,
east of Fishersville, one being killed and the
other hurt About 81 O'Clock, A. NJ, the boys
retired to the water-closet, privilege always
allowed the males, in the past history of the
Institution, when compelled to leave the DOR
mitories between retiring and rising hours
There was no reason for apprehending their
purpose to escape. as they seemed, since the
departure of their father. to have become at
tached to their new home. After discovering
that they could not be found on the Institution
premises, and after the lapse of about two
hours, during which diligent search was made,
information was received that they were seen
about one-half mile east of Staunton. An in
telligent officer, on feet horse was at once
sent in pursuit, but did not reach them until
brief while after the casualty had occurred.
This is one of those deplorable accidents
which no human foresight could provide
against and in which the absent parents and
friends of the boys have the sympathy, not
only Of all connected with the Institution, but
of the people generally of this community"
