AUGUSTA COUNTY ANECDOTEs.-The fol-
lowing anecdotes are from the pen of the
editor of the Charlottesville Chronicle, from
the issue of which of July 9Th we copy
them
''AIany years ago, in good old ante-war
times, there lived in Augusta county, re-
mote from the courthouse, highly respec-
table farmer named FL. He was thrifty
man, of patriarchal habits, and very much
esteemed by his neighbors and acquaintan-
ces. As will be seen, his knowledge of
grammar was somewhat defective. He
owned a few slaves-men-servants and
maidens-whom he cherished as the apple
OF his eye. 1t was a question which he
loved most, his children or his negroes. To
the establishment of everybody, however,
the news flew round the country one day
that one of his petted slaves, female, at
that, had absconded Nobody believed
that the fugitive had any cause for going
OF, further than desire to taste the sweets
OF freedom, So called-perhaps to do moth
ing, and maybe to starve. Mr.. H. was
deeply mortified. The loss of his property
did not disturb him in the least; but the
stigma upon him and sense of disgrace was
keenly felt. A neighbor coming tocondole
get her back, Mr.. Fl. % 'sGet her backr'
exclaimed the old man, 'sno, always did
say if one of my family chose to leave me
let her acent!'
An aged white woman living about ten
miles from Staunton, some thirty years ago,
applied for admission to membership in
certain church. AS customary with that
denomination, she was asked to relate her
religious experience, which, nothing 10th,
she proceeded to do. With voluble tnogue
she described her deep conviction of her
sinfulness, and, adopting Bible language,
said that from the crown of her head to the
soles Of her feet she was wounds and
bruises and purify q Sores" Out" she
remarked after pi d e, 81 always did think
| had one sound part, and that is my Stona-
ick.''
DIR. G. lived in the western part Of Angus
ia county, among the mounta rs. He was
man of more than ordinary talent, and
possessed a rich fund of humor. but very
often took 200 much ''mountain dew for
his own good. On one occasion he was
coming to court at Staunton, and arriving
at toll-gate, concluded to practice joke
upon the gate-keeper, who was o stranger
to him. It was early in the morning-not
even the 'third hour of the day''-and the
Doctor was perfectly sober. When toll
was demanded of him. he exclaimed with
affected surprise: "What! you don't charge
ministers of the gospel 2" The gate-keeper
was abashed, and the Doctor rode through
without paying. Returning home in the
evening, after freely partaking of the town
good-eheer, the Doctor, reellng in his sad
die from side to side, came to the same toll
gate; and when the keeper presented him
self again, drawled out in sleepy tones:
sThe same - old preacherI'' 1t is
needless to say, that thereupon, nozens 90
lens, he paid the toll for coming and going"

FAIRFIELD, July 18th, 1883.
Editor Spectator Il have not given you any
items of interest from our village for some

Rev. Thos. Briley passed through our neigh
borhood few days ago on his way to Balti-
more to place himself under care OF physi-
clan there. He has been heard from since. He
seems very confident that a permanent cure
will be effected.
1t will no doubt be interesting to the many
friends of Prof W. E. Burnett to know that he
has reached his destination in safety. He ex-

through with their wheat harvest and some
are beginning to thresh. A good deal of anx-
iety was felt in regard to the weather, but the
clouds have lifted and the people are busy get
ting their grain in.
On Friday morning. the 9th of this month,
Mrs. Margaret Lilley, of this place, departed
this life. She was exemplary Christiau-a
member OF the Methodist church for forty
years. She was loved and respected by all who
know her. She died, as she had lived, in the
fear OF God and in hope of glorious eternity.
Her funeral was preached by the writer, and
her remains were inferred at Mrs. Alexander's
to await the resurrection of the just.

From the Charlottesville Chronicle.

A PLUCKY -WoMAN-NATIvE OF ALBE-
MARLE.-A friend, who once recited in our
presence the lines given below, has, at our
request, furnished them to us for publica-
ton, with some interesting incidents in
the life of the writer who, was a native of
Albemarle county, bearing the name of one
of our best families. When she was very
young her parents removed to Kentucky.
There are probably many living in her ma
tive county who will recognize the initials,
''M. W. NJ, of Kentucky" as recalling one
who, in her latter visits to her relatives in
this vicinity, left an impression of intel
lectual brilliancy unequalled among her CO.
temporary bellies. On reaching woman S
estate, she was married to Mr.. B., after
wards Colonel in the Confederate army.
The following circumstance was the oc-
casion of her writing the lines. Her hus-
band being at home, the Federals heard of
it, and sent body of troops to arrest him.
He heard of their approach and left, but
unfortunately told his wife where he was
going. When the soldiers arrived they
asked for Col. B. She told them he had
gone. Then they asked if she knew where
he was. She replied that she did. On her
refusal to diyulge his whereabouts, they
presented their pistols to her head, threat
ening to blow her brains out. Her quiet
reply was 'sShoot you will, I will not tell
you" With fiendish cruelty they tied her
to the bed, and thrust their bayonets into
her flesh. But she, calling her little child
to her side, and catching in her hand the
blood as it dripped from the wounds, pour
ed it upon his head, and calling him by
name, she said, 'sMy son, in thy mothers
blood baptize thee into the army Of the
Confederacy, there true and loyal soldier,
manfully to fight until DEATH" Then
turning to her tormenters she quietly said,
CHOW judge if I will tell you" Awed by
her perfect courage they left her.
But in her neighborhood there lived
man, Tuck by name, q Union man and a
"Fireside." When he heard of the circum-
stance, he remarked, 'They served her
right; when woman puts herself in the
place of man she should be treated as a
man." To this Mrs. B. replied as follows:
81 am sorry my conduct has had the f!l-luck
To call forth the censure of gallant young
Tuck,
Who boldly maintains that his cause is right
Against every foe--who refuses to fight!
never have ventured on masculine ground,
Twas seated beside my own hearth 1 was
found
But you seem to think, or so I understand,
In such times as these that's the place for a
man,
Ifsuch are your sentiments. all men may see
Your practice and theory nicely agree.
For who'd think of placing in front of a gun
A Iuck-that a needle might easily run.
Well! devote to the F,.derals your wonderful
powers;
God forbid we should see, when the battle
cloud lowers,
Such g. Tuck on the skirts of an army of ours!
For even your friends whisper slyly about
That your State, like o dress rather short,
without doubt
Would be greatly Improved were the Tiscks ia
ken out!

MIA, which was called for the 18th inst, at
Harrisburg, was intended to ''dethrone the
Bosses" and declare the independence of
the people A good many of the delegates
were men who refused to vote for the ma
chine candidates set up by Cameron last
year, and it was understood in advance of
the assembling of the Convention, that
every delegate was to vote as it should please
himself to do. This is something indeed,
for the old boss ridden State of Pennsylva-
MIA. And now for Virginia! Let us not
begin where Pennsylvania and New York,
end; but rather profit by their long expert
ence, and our own shorter one, of the evils
of bossism in politics.-Ly1chbwg Virgin
