A seasonable Publication.

The Fall number of Ehrichs' Fashion
Quarterly viii be found particularly useful
to all ladies who contemplate that most de-
ightful of feminine occupations shopping.
Within the compass of its one hundred and
twenty pages, it contains compendium of
the whole art and mystery of retail pur-
chasing, giving descriptions of the latest
styles in every department, with complete
list of prices, and really bewildering ar
ray of illustrations, Aided by this useful
publication, a lady can plan out her shop
ping for the season, with an absolute GER
tainty that no necessary item will be over
looked, and that every dollar will be made
to do its full and utmost duty. Whether
she make her purchases by mail or from
storekeepers nearer home, the Fashion
Quarterly is equally useful. In either case
it shows her just what styles are fashionable,
as well as which are most economical; and,
studying its pages, a lady can adapt her ex-
penditure to her means, and avoid the vex-
alton of finding, too late, that unwilling ex-
travagance in one direction entails incon-
venient economy in another.
The Fashion Quarterly is published by
Enrich Bros, Eighth Avenue, New York, at
so cents year, or Is cents copy. 1t is
amply worth its price.

life as glass of champagne. The fun is
unremitting from the rise of the curtain to
the fall, and Mr. Russell never appeared to
SO good advantage as he does in the play.

their work is done carefully and honestly.

WHEREAS We knew him whilst in at

the grace5 of an amlahle character and
the unassuming manners of gentlemen,
ResOtUed, That. at this, our first meet
ing since his demise, We learn of his death
with profound sorrow, and regret the loss
of him who was the irsC to be separated
by death from our Alumni Association,

A VALUABLE INvENT1oN.-We have
just been shown patent obtained by
Mum & Co., and enclosed in one of their
unique morocco cases to Col. J. Marshall
McCue, FishersVille, Va, dated 23d of
May, 1882, ''for an alleged new and useful
improvement in Reamers.' Geo. w. Dud-
ley, of Waynesboro. Va, is the inventor,
and J. Marshall McCue, late of Alton,
Va, owner of one half. There are seven
prominent advantages in this over any
other in use, and had we time we might
enumerate them. Among them is this-it
makes perfectly round hole, as it cuts at
all points at the same time; can't choke as
it drives the cuttings before it; can't get
tight, as the twist is in the opposite d.
rection; can't jar, as it cuts directly
against the pressure; makes a draw cut,
and for that reason cuts faster, and for
same reason will last longer; can be ground
on an emory wheel-no other can, and can
be made as easy as flat one. We predict
for it success.

NEW PARSONAGE FOR Mt. TABOR.

NEW PARSONAGE FOR Mt. TABOR
In another column there is an ADVERTISE
ment for bids for the building of parson-
age for Mt. Tabor church. The building
fund is the result of legacy left the con-
gregra ton. Mrs. Margaret Gale, an esti-
mable lady, died many years ago and in
her will directed that out of certain part
of Der estate ST. 600 should be given Mt
Tabor congregation. Such bequest is
not valid under the laws of Virginia. The
legislature of 1871 passed an enabling act
to give effect to the testator's wishes, but
the matter has still hung in the courts and
was only decided last week in the Circuit
Court in favor of the congregation. The
heirs to Mrs. Gales property made no con-
test being willing that the congregation
should have the legacy. The original
amount with interest now aggregates
$1,000.

The LAW AGAINST RoBBING BIRDS
NEsTs.-The prevailing craze among the
boys for gathering specimens Of bird g
eggs for preservation, including game as
we'll as other birds, promises to reduce the
number as effectively as hard winter and
renders the following brief digest of the
laws on the subject worthy of attention:
1t is misdemeanor, at any time, to kill
or capture any thrush, red bird, wren,
oriole, wood robin, blue bird, martin or
startling, or destroy their nests, or the
nests of cartridges, pheasants, woodcock
or robins.
Persons violating the law may be tried
before Court of Justice of the Peace,
and upon conviction shall be fined ten dol
lars for each offence. and shall be impris-
oned until the fine is paid, but not ex-
ceeding thirty days.
The act is to be given in charge to the
Grand Jury at every regular grand jury
term, and it is the duty of the Sher-
if to prosecute promptly and vigorous
ly."

One Hundred and Fifteen Years Old.

We were shown this week, a photograph
just taken of ssUncle" Sidney Crawford,
the colored man who has just passed his
one hundred and fifteenth year. He lives
on the far n Of Mrs. Mary Moorman, near
FIT. Defiance, and is as comfortably and
teEderiy cared for by the family as if be
were child. 1t is we'll established that he
was born in 1857, and was brought to Vir-
GINA from the Eastern Shore of Mary
land by Maj. Crawford. A few days ago
Miss Polly johnson, of Winchester, who
is nlnety-thTee years of age, and whose
first recollection of Sidney is that
he was d man when she was a child and
vas sent with the children for their pro-
lection, was visiting at Mrs. Meorman's
few days ago. and the old man cOnversed
with excellent memory about old days with
his ''eld school mate" as he called Miss
johnson. In those days he was grown
man and used to ride the children on his
back. Mrs. Nancy McCue, who is eighty
two years old. remembers that when she
vas child old Sid's hair was gray. The
old man has, until very lately, been able
to shave himself every day, but no " has
to let his white beard grow. He is much
disguised at having to wear moustache,
saying that in his day nobody but snigger
traders aud horse traders" ever wore one.
He hash Z a decayed tooth in his head and
has only lost one tooth of his full set. a
fact which he attributes to tobacco, which
lie has chewed for more than a hundred
years. A few weeks age he was quite
sick and had fainting spell which lasted
some time. When he came to he was
much agitated, saying he "had been away
and seen some terrible things" Ever
since his recovery, to attempt to question
him about what he ''saw'' when uncon-
scious, alarms him. The extreme old age
of this man is put beyond doubt by the
testimony Of whites, themselves nearly
centenarians. who remember him well as a
man when they were children.
