A HISTORY of the Valley of Virginia is con-
tempated bya Chicago Book Concern, and
Col. Jno. L. Peyton, of this place, has been
offered handsome compensation to write it
The proposition has been declined, however,
in consequence of other pressing engagements.
Col. Peyton's history of Augusta county has
attracted great deal of attention throughout
the country, and the interesting and attrac-
tive style of its preparation, induced the
Chicago firm to seek his services in the work
they propose. If properly prepared, it would
be an interesting work, and we regret that
Col Peyton has been compelled to decline the
fattering offer.

A CALL To THE LADIEs.-The ladies of
Staunton are hereby most cordially invited to
attend a me eting at the Young Mems Chris
tian Association Room, at 3 80 D. M, Tuesday,
January 10, for the purpose of completing the
organization of the Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union, of this city. Let all come.
Intemperance is unquestionably the great
est evil of the nineteenth century. Compared
with it all other evils are but as a shadow COM
pared with the su bstance. Nine tenths of the
crime, pauperism and wretchedness of our
land grow out of the use of ardent spirits as
beverage.
1t is evident then that women can do some
thing to stay the tide of this greatest OF all
evils.
Let US, therefore, take counsel together
against this great moral wrong. Let us give
our time, efforts and influence for God and our
homes
BY request of the Committee.

larger membership and creating wider in
fuence.

Attention, Survivors OF the Old 9Th
Va, Regiment.
You are requested to meet at the Mayor
office in the city Opera House, at 10 m. Mon
day, (court-day) January %, 1888, for the pur-
pose of forming permanent organization.
am glad to learn some of the companies
have met and organized already; hope all will
do SO before court-day and have a full repre-
sentation at the meeting of this Regiment
AS you are already aware the prime object
of our organization is to make preparations to
attend the reunion of the 2Sth New York
Regiment at Niagara Falls, on the 22d of May
next.
The committee on permanent organization
will please be ready to report.
Since our last meeting COL E. F. Brown of
the 2oth, writes II have read the proceedings
of your meeting with much real interest and
begin to hope the 9Th Va, and 2Sth New York
will have cordial reunion. We did qeuae
once on August 9th, 1862, and you took us all
in cordially and gave us the best you had. We
hope now to be able to return the compliment.
/ look upon this as one of the most interest
ing occasions since Appomattox. Stir up the
boys and tell them if Niagara is in good
humor we will have roaring time"
hope some arrangement can be made by
which fund for the use of each company can
be raised to help pay the fare of members of
their company who are not able to buy the
Railroad tickets themselves. Many of the best
soldiers we had-men who were always at the
post of duty who were foremost in the adj
vance, a brought up the rear on retreat
who sacrificed their all upon the altar of their
country in those dark days of trial and danger,
are to-day in moderate circumstances, and un-
less help is afforded them they will be denied
the pleasure of this trip, perhaps the greatest
event of their lives. Citizens of Greenyille,
Middlebrook, West View, Fishersville, Mt
Scion, Sangersyille, Spring Hill and their
vicinities, appeal to you to aid these men.
Can't a festival, or oyster supper be given
within the bounds of each company and the
proceeds go to this object?

Journal furnishes the following: Our COM
munity was startled on Friday morning last
by the sad intelligence that Mr.. Benjamin
Long had been found hung by the neck in Mr..
Jacob Wynant's barn, on Long Glade, in this
county. The facts in connection with the sad
affair.so far as we could gather them are these
Mr. Long. for some time past, has been very
ow-spirited, and seemed to be suffering from
pain in his side, which caused him TO be rest
less at night. On the morning CT the day
above mentioned, he rose about 4 o'clock,
made the fires, and left the house. As he did
not return to breakfast, his son began to search
for him, but did not find him until about II
o'clock. Mr.. Long was with Chew's Battery
during the war, and was beloved by his COM
rades, who say that he faced danger with I'M
fiinching courage. He was peaceable, quiet
citizen, a good neighbor, and at the time of his
death was member of the German Reformed
Church. His remains were inferred on Sun
day morning last, followed by large con-
course of sorrowing friends. He leaves wife
aid five children to mourn his untimely end.

Pope Leo XIII. is said to have declared re-
Gently to nj. de Giers, the Russian Minister OF
Foreign Affairs, that society was menaced by
the enormous increase of ntidelity. the spread
OF agnostic literature, and by the interruptions
attitude OF the chiefs of the revolutionary
party who had insinuated themselves into the

SUNDAY TRAINS ON THE G. 6 Owe under
stand that last week letter signed by a large
number of the engineers of freight trains OF
the G. & O. was forwarded to the authorities
The substance of the letter was that the en-
gineers refused to run freight trains on Sun
day. They expressed themselves as wiling te
aid in the transportation of passengers and
perishable freight, or in any work absolutely
necessary to be performed on Sunday. But
they were not willing to run coal trains and
transport such freight as would not suffer by
delay Owing to the absence Of Genl. Supt
Smith from Richmond, no definite response
has been received to the letter. Last Sunday
coal trains were practically suspended.
On Sunday week Rev. w. E. Baker pastor
of the 1st Presbyterian church preached q
strong sermon against Sunday railroading, and
a fund has been raised to publish it in pamph-
let form.
