Letter from ChurchyiIle.

CHURCHyILLE, VA. March 18th, 1888.
On yesterday the sad news reached the viii
lage of the death of Mr.. Martin Rohrer, one of
the oldest and most respected citizens of this
community. He was a native of Maryland.
but came to this county when quite a young
man and has lived for almost half a century
in the vicinity of Churrnville. He was man
without enemies and very popular on account
Of sterling traits of character and jovial dis
position. His wife and five children survive
him. One by one our old citizens are passing
off the stage OF life and the curtain falls be-
hind them. There is rarely found a comnuni-
ty in which. according to population. there
are SO many persons who nave reached and
gone beyond mans allotted time-three- score
years and ten. Within a radius of three miles
of Churchvile there are now living forty per-
sons who have arrived at the age Of seventy
years. and twelve of these are more than eighty
years old. The three oldest residents of this
village are Messrs. John Smith, David Seig
and David Jackson. Each OF these gentlemen
has reached the age Of about eighty five, but
all are remarkably well preserved and active
We noticed two of them the other day mend
ing the fence around one of the grave-yards-
repairing the house before moving in.
There is considerable sickness in the neigh
borhood just now. and our physicians are un-
usually active. The most serious case is that
of the little son of Mr.. Joseph Myers. who con-
tracted scarlet fever in Stanton. The child
has been very sick, but. under the skillful
treatment of DIR. Davies, is gradually improv-
ing. A little colored boy who was a servant of
the family recently died of the disease. There
are four cases of scarlatina in the family of
Mr.. Frederick Keller, but the patients are all
doing well. Mr.. H. Clay Burns is sick with
remittent fever. .s.S
On Saturday morning, MIR. ]. NJ. Jorden, who
is building a residence in the village, lost a
considerable quantity of Lumber by fire. The
plank took fire In the drying kiln, and about
fifty dollars worth was destroyed. '''"'

JUDGE ]. W. GREEN SMITH AND JUDGE
SHERRARD.-At the last session OF the Corpo-
ration Court of Winchester, Judge Sherrard
being unable from indlsposition to preside,
telegraphed for Judge Smith, Judge of the
Hastings Court of Staunton, who presided

says Though comparatively a stranger to
the people of Winchester, his judicial ability
was at once appreciated, and socially he made
many friends. Judge Smith Is the son Of the
late Judge Daniel Smith, who when young
man was Deputy Clerk of the Circuit Court OF
Frederick county, and was for more than
thirty years judge of the Cir,uit Court OF
which Rockingham, Highland. and other
counties then composed the district"
The Winchester Times says:-"Judge Sher-
rard is suffering very m UGH from cataracts on
his eyes, but we are glad to note he is not con-
fined to his house. We learn that the Judge
will shortly go to Baltimore. to have an opera
ton performed for the restoration Of his i'm.
paired vision"

business first at Falling Spring. in Greenbrier,
whence he removed to Lewisburg where he
was associated for some years with Mr.. John

conducted business for himself alone. He has
many relatives in this county. who constitute
some of the best families in it, His remains
