COMPLIMENTARY.-T Virginia Star,
published at Richmond, Va, and edited by
Stanard, Voolfolk & Co., colored men, has
the following complimentary notice of its
Staunt0n subscribers:
If the man for whom Diogenes searched
in vain with his lantern ever lived, he
must live among the colored people Of
Staunton, We went up there last week to
make collections for the STAR. We sent
postal cards to each person, telling him
that we would be in his city for that pur-
pose. Nine-tenths of the persons indebt-
ed to the STAR were personally unknown
to us. But, strange as it may seem, they
found us out, and numbers OF them stopped
us on the streets, and, after satisfying
themselves that we were the STAR man,
paid us then and there and took receipt,
1t this isn't a marvel of honor and honesty,
then we don't know what they are.

The Day Approaches.

MEANING THE APPOINTED DATE FOR THE
EXHIBITION OF THE SELLS MOTHERS
CONSOLIDATED RAILROAD SHOWS.
Anticipation has now not long to wait,
for this largest among the travelling eXhi-
billions will spread its myriad yards of can
vass at Staunton, Tuesday Sept. IL.
The management proves its pledges and
sustans its promises by editorials guaran-
tees, whose weight and value none can fail
do appreciate and respect. The great
journals of the Union testify with the most
unanimous accord to its integrity in strict
ly keeping every advertised promise, and
even during last season, when the CONSOLE
dation was only partially effected, the press
was loud in it's praises, as being the most
attractive and creditable exhibition on the
road. Exhibiting both in st. Louis and
Chicago for a week, the press of those
cities had ample time to pass on its merits,
and we append literal and convincing eX-
tracts from their notices
From the Chicago Daily Times, May Is, 1882.
The circus-everybody is at the circus.
Sells Brothers keep their pledges with
their patrons. They advertise nothing I'M
fairly-a phenomenon of professional
integrity. Their tents are ''obiect lessons y
for the young in natural history. They
have many genuine curiosities, and their
artists are as astonishing as genius ever
is when animated by sawdust.
From Chicago Evening Journal, May, II, 1882.
The Sells Brothers, who have had the
good fortune to be first on the Lake Front
this season. are to be congratulated in pre-
senting a show that corresponds with the
announcements. They don't beguile the
people with pretentious advertisements of
wonders that have never materialized, and
they really produce what they claim. This
is almost too much to say of q circus, and
it will hardly be credited, but a candid ex-
animation of this menagerie and ring
brings the truth-loving reporter to the con-
fession that sobriety ofstatement is mighty,
and is prevailing over all of Barnum's adj
iectives The immense canvasses that
parasoled the Lake Front ground yester-
day afternoon and evening, covered a
countless multitude of happy faces, all
bright with enthusiasm over the sights and
performances.

Old Providence Items.
Reported for the vIRGINIAN.

Old Proyidenceis situated six miles from
GreenNille on the road leading to Browns
burg. The traveller will notice on his left
a brick church, enclosed by Il neat fence
and surrounded by q large grove OF forest
oak This is the third building occupied
by this congregation. The first being :
wooden structure, and the second was
built about the year 1898 out of rock. and
occupied till the year 1851. Since that
time it has been converted into adwelling
store house, &c.
God s Acre.-Near is a large graveyard
enclosed by thick stone fence and COW
cred with plank, which is filled with the
graves Of the generations who for more
than a century and a half have assembled
there from Sabbath to Sabbath to worship
God. In the centre stands large monu-
ment Of granite that marks the resting
place of Robert Mccormick and wife,
father and mother of the reaper inventors
and few steps away q plain marble shaft
marks the grave Of Philip Gibbs and wife.
father and mother of Mr.. JAS. E. A. Gibbs,
the inventor OF the sewing machine, and
near by a neat head stone marks the rest
ing place of DR.. John McChesney, we'll
known physician, father of DR.. Will Nc
Chesney, of Staunton, and DR., Keel Nc
Chesney, of Middlebrook.
Of the population composing the con-
gregation Of Old Providence it may be
said with truth that a more orderly, pious
population can hardly be found in the
State. 1t is plain, intelligent. contented
community. Not much of wealth has ever
existed amongst them and still less of pow
erty. They have lived in the possession
Of comfortable independence with very
little anxiety~for anything more. From
an carly period they have been blessed
with an able ministry.
In less than mile towards the Rock
bridge line the ruins Of All old fort can
still be seen that dates far back in the
past. have been told by an old lady, who
has passed the allotted time of man, three
score and ten, that she was born III 1t ;
that the chimney occupied the width OF
one end that the doors had hinges the en-
tire width, and the creaking could be
heard for several miles.
Funilu Reunion The Rowan family held
their annual meeting at the house Of Mr..
w. w. Rowan q few days since,-com-
posed of Messrs. Davis and B. 5. Rowan,
Capt S. f. Carson. Mr.. G. G.. Berry and
Capt. Barclay. Of the Lexington Gazette,
ana their families. Their rule is to meet
once year ut one of their brothers or Sis
tiers without notifying them, coming pre-
pared to make them their guests for the
day.
C,0ps.-The wheat, which is mostly
threshed out, has yielded beyond the ex-
pectations of the farmers. The grass crop
was large and Of good quality. Corn will
not make a half crop. Fruits of all kinds
have been plenty in their season,
Sickness. Mr.. Robert n. Carson, very
popular and well-known citizen, has been
great sufferer for the last eight months.
He has not been able to lie down during
the time, and his suffering has been in
tense. OCCASIONAL.

"ONLY A FARMER S DAUGHTER. MAN
ager Powell, of Richmond, seems de-
termined to make Staunton a favored
town. He has recently sent us the best
minstrel troupe now travelling, and now
follows it up by the presentation TO the
staunton people Of one of the most at
tractlve dramas on the stage. ''Only a
Farmers Daughter" has had big run in
the best theatres of New York and the
East, and wherever it has been performed
the utmost delight and satisfaction have
been the result. 1t is a stirring society
play, full of incident, life. wit, startling
situations and dramatic force. The cast,
costuming, scenery, &C., are said to be ex-
cellent in every particular. Altogether
we may expect an evening of rare pleasure
on Monday next, and those who fail to
embrace this opportunity to witness a
really splendid entertainment will regret
1t no little. Such companies as the
Union Square should be greeted with the
best of audiences.

SPLENDID FRuT.-We are indebted to
MI. M. Carmody for some of the largest
and most delicious peaches we have ever
seen. Three dozen of u fair average of
these filled peck measure, and they are
as luscious as they are large. Mr.. G. has
some fifty trees of this variety, and the
success which has attended his efforts in
fruit raising proves that he understands
the business thoroughly. Some of these
days we expect to see big fruit canning
establishment in this section. Such mer
as Mr.. Carmody will make it q necessity
and success.

THE Markets.

There is no practical change in the markets
since last week. Wheat has been offering freely
and prices were strong at 05a$1 0S, and prime
article for seed at 81 10. Little has been done
in flour. The quotations below represent the
state OF the marketunde light offerings. They
would hardly be sustained were the supply full.
At the centres of trade the week has been quiet;
grain maintaining its own under flush supply
and q large crop. Quotations yesterday were as
follows: Flour, family, 00a$5 10; extra, 81 So !;
super, 4 OOas4 10; wheat, l O5as1 0S; prime seed,
81 10; oats, S5a3S corn so; rye So; timothy seed,
75a$2 90; clover seed, So co.
In Baltimore, wheat, 12aS1 80; corn, 59a62. In
Richmond wheat, 12aSl 10; corn, 6Oa6l oats
