Mt. Sidney Items.

Since harvest two flourishing stores have
been set up i'll our prosperous town. One
by the Messrs. Grove and the other by Mr..
Katy, Of Hardy county, w. Va. Tie
former is kept in the old Ross storehouse.
opposite the Mt. Sidney Hotel, and the lat
ter III the room under the town hall. Both
are doing good business.
The shoe shops and furniture establish
ments of the town are turning off an i'm
mense amount Of work, all of the best
character.
The earthenware factory. owned and
managed by the industrious Messrs. John
and Samuel Watson, is worked to its fullest
extent. Their ware demands ready sale
as it is first-class and at a low price.
We have two base ball clubs, a junior and
a senior of uncommon merit. On last Sat
urday, the former played match game
with the juniors of the Mt. Meridian club
and made 26 to l. We believe that our
junior club. no member Of which is over Is
years old, cannot be beaten by any club in
the Valley made up of players of q like
age.
The Rev. Il. 3. White, whom we have
previously had occasion to mention, is again
paying MS u visit. For the last three months
he has been laboring with his cousin. the
Rev. VIM. O. Ross, of Montgomery county,
where his feryent preaching, it is reported,
did much good. At Waynesboro, on his
return to this place. the Rev. w. attempted
to cross the railroad track Immediately in
front of q train in full speed, but he fel
and was in an ace of being run over as he
rolled off the track. He was bruised up
badly by the fall, but had recovered suf-
iciently to preach on Sunday for the Rev.
Sprunt at Augusta church. TWAS the first
time we have had the privilege Of hearing
Mr.. w. preach. We were forcibly
impressed, and can conscientiously say that
he is one of the most promising young
preachers that we have ever heard. He
puts his whole soul into his discourse and as
! a consequence sends forth every idea quiv-
ering with magnetism, which takes hold of
the minds Of his hearers like hooks Of
steel.
Mr. Baker, of Hardy county, w. Va, is
now visiting his cousin. Mr.. Katy, our new
merchant. He is a man of uncommon in
telligence. He has Travelled all over this
country and Europe, and is one of the most
interesting and instructive men that has
ever visited this place.
L Mr.. Peter Johnson, our money-saving
townsman, has been suffering with sore
foot for some days, but is now on the mend.
Miss Blanche Riggal, belle of Bridgewater,
daughter Of Joseph Riggal, Esq, was in
our town last week.
The Augusta church congregation have
granted Rev. Sprunt release from his
labors for few weeks on account OF his
delicate health. He is now in Rockbridge,
but will return this week. and will probably
| take a trip to New Y rk.
We are glad to learn that Rockingham will

ARREST OF A SUPPOSED HORSE THIEF
Yesterday morning, a negro man rode
up to the residence of w. II. Bailey, Esq,
Just below town, and offered to sell a fine
looking young sorrel mare. The price asked
was $3.50. Mr. Bailey said that the mare
was not worth it. The negro then said he
would take $50. Mr. Bailey at once sus-
pecting him, told his son to get his pistol,
and ordered the rider to get down, telling
him that he had stolen the horse. This
the negro denied, and said that q man had
given him the horse to sell, but that he did
not know who the man was or where he
lived. MI. Bailey arrested him, took from
him long knife, and brought him to town,
where he was lodged in jail. A VIRGINIAN
reporter visited the Jail. The accused
stated that his name was Anderson Simp-
son that he lived on Walkers creek, in
Rockbridge county, and had recently
worked for Mr.. VIM. Stuart. He stated
further that he had started to the mines,
and on Tuesday night, when near Rock
bridge Baths, had met a man in the road
who gave him the mare and told him to
sell her. He didn't know who the man
was, and the man did not seem to know
him. When asked what he would do with
the money if he sold, he Said that he in
tended to carry it back to Rockbridge, and
he had no doubt but that the man would call
on him for it. AS he did not know the
man he would give it to any one who asked
him for it. To another party he stated
that the man told him to send the money
in letter to Amherst Court House, but
not to put any address ON the envelope.
The boy seems to be about IS years old,
very black with prominent African fea-
lures. He appears stupidity ignorant, but
seems to realize, somewhat, his position,
as he asked what would be the length of
his term in the penitentiary.
| The mare is a fine looking sorrel animal,
about four or five years old, compactly
built, and moves well. Parties in Rock
bridge, OF elsewhere, who know Of such
an animal being missed, should put the
owner thereof in communication with
Meade F. White, ESQ.,, Commonwealth S
attorney, OF w. H. Bailey, ESQ.,, Staunton.
