number of fine fowls by rats He has a
large stock of all fine breeds on hand and
expects to take large number OF
premiums at the Augusta County Fair.
The heavy and almost continuous rain
of Monday night and Tuesday, has caused
delay among the farmers in their harvest
ing operations. The wheat is so far adj
vanced that no material damage is antici
pated. The corn and garden crops are be-
ing much benefited, and the farmers are
for wonder not disposed to grumble.
A match game of base ball will be played
here next Saturday between the Staunton
nine and the STAR club, of this place.
The boys here say there will be no more

For some understandable cause the Dep
uty Sheritfs appointed by Sheritf-elect
Shepp failed to qualify during the June
term OF the County Court. AS u conse-
quence many attorneys here hold that the
Sheriff elect will have to perform all the
duties until the third Monday in July.
The Bourbon lawyers of the bar here, will
doubtless furnish Mr.. Shepp with plenty
of equestrian exercise for the first three
weeks of his term.

Possibly no event of local interest has
tr;tnSpired i'll HarrlSonburg for years which
created more excitement than the news
which arrived here on Tuesday Of the
Encouragement of this Internal Rev
enue District, the removal of b. b. Bolts,
ESQ.,, and the appointment of Vim. T..

the Revenue Office from this place is de-

beside the financial loss to the town we
will be deprived of the genial society of
Mr.. Bolts gentlemanly subordinates.
