Rurning Of a Barn.

The barn on the farm of Mr.. William Coon,
about mile and a half from this city, on the
Avondale road, was destroyed by fire on Mon
day morning. The farm is tenanted by Mr..
Solomon Brothers. About half-past four
o'clock Mr.. Brothers was awakened by Mr..
Timothy Lane, neighbor, who had discov
cred the fire and gone over to it. At this time
the building was in blaze. There was no
possibility Of saving it, and efforts were made
to get out the stock, Mr.. Brothers getting con-
siderably burned about the head in doing so.
One horse was gotten out, and another and
two cows were burned to death. The rescued
animal was badly burned, and will be unfit
for service for some time, if it survives. In
the barn were four tons of hay, grain cradles,
wind mill and some harness, all of which was
lost A corn-crib and wagon shed adjoining
were also burned, together with about fifteen
barrels of corn, two-horse wagon and sew
eral plows.
The buildings were insured for 5000 in the
Royal Company, of London; George W. Mat
thews, of this city, agent. Mr.. Brothers was
not insured.

A disturbance occurred Tuesday night at
Wakefield, Sussex county, Va, after the
polls had closed, during which several shots
we're exchanged. r. w. White, a prominent
Democrat, was shot in the groin and is said
to be dying. No arrests were made. The
difficulty was caused by political discussion.
In addition to Mr. White, who was shot, it is
now thought that W. H. Morris, proprietor
of the Hotel Wakefield, has been killed.
At the time of the disturbance Mr.. Morris,
against whom there was some ill-feeling, at
tempted to leave the crowd, when he was pur-
sued by the mob. Nothing since has been
learned of his whereabouts, and it is supposed
that after being killed his body was concealed.
While the disturbance was at its height police
assistance was telegraphed for from Waverly,
but the place subsequently became quiet.
for Mr. Morris whereabouts, but at last ac-
counts nothing had been learned concerning
him.

Those subscribers who have been receiving
the ADVOCATE during the campaign are noti-
fed that the time for which they paid expires
with this issue. The price was greatly re-
duced during the campaign in order that the
paper would be within the reach of all. The
sum charged covered about the cost of the
paper alone. Hereafter the price will be as
it has been since 1862 per year, 81 for
six months, so cents for three months, pos
tage prepaid. Those who desire to continue
taking the ADVOCATE should notify us at once.
Hereafter we shall have, as usual, less of pol
itics and more of news and general reading
matter, and viii strive to make the paper a
welcome visitor to every household,
We shall not eschew politics, for the COM
ing year will be one of great political agita-
ton. Congress will meet in December, and
its proceedings win be watched with great in
terest, for its action in the coming session will
have considerable bearing on the Presidency.
The National Executive Committees of the
two parties will meet in January and deter
mine the times and places for holding con-
ventions to nominate candidates for the Pres
idency.
The Maryland Legislature will meet in Jan
uary also, and its proceedings will be of much
interest. In January too, Gov-elect McLane
will be inaugurated and he will probably de-
fine his policy in his inaugural. The whole
year will be fraught with interest and every
reader should be informed on every topic.
The ADVOCATE will keep its readers informed
on all questions, and will chronicle events
with accuracy. Subscribe for the ADVOCATE
