A Statement.

Etlaor0f Virgiaidn:
In Your last issue there appears card
from j. Il, Mohler, placing my name
before the public in q light that is not the
most creditable. VIII you please allow me
space in your valuable paper to make a
statement. If Mr.. Mohler had had proper
regard for d fellow man S character he
would have given the supposed injury u
little investigation before coming out so
boldly and publicly charging me with
wilful misrepresentation The facts of
the matter are just this: The notice re-
ferred to by Mr.. Moher appeared in your
local column as a BIT of news from your own
pen. | supposed the information was
funised you by your Annex correspon-
dent, he suppose not knowing happened
to say Weyer's Cave instead of the Foun-
tain cave. One thing certain, and, Mr..
Editor. you can bear me witness, did
not furnish you with the information OF
purposely advertise. SO as toa,aise crowd
on the reputation of Weyer'S Cave. Were
to advertise for the purpose of raising
crowd in this community | would just as
leaye use the name of Fountain cave as
that of Weyer's. The trip was planned
and carried into successful completion by
our pastor, Rev. n. A. Kiracofe. | did
not know myself until | reached the
grounds which cave we were going to
visit. So l just say to Mr.. Mohler 1 am
not the man of misrepresentation you take
me to be, if you have been injured l am
not the man that injured you. There is
not one in our school of lis OF 120, that
ever heard me say we were going to
Weyer S Cave. We had understood we were
to go to the cave, as to which one we con-
sidered that a matter of little Importance,
Respectfully, ]. 5. G, MYENs.

AcQUITTED.-D Daniel Croghan, who shot
a colored man election day, last Novem-
Der, and who has since been confined for a
while in the Asylum at this place, was
tried in the Hastings Court, Judge Smith
presiding, last week. The verdict of the
jury was one day confinement in the coun-
ty Jail and $50 fine. Croghan had been out
hunting that day, and returned, passing
through the street under the influence Of
liquor. AS he passed the colored man,
without provocation, or any previous indi-
cation of purpose to shoot, his gun was
discharged, without carrying it to the
shoulder. the load taking effect on the COL
ored man, who was badly but not seriously
wounded. We did not hear the evidence
On the trial, and do not know the ex-
tenuating circumstances which caused so
light verdict.

Several weeks ago we copied a telegram
sent from Harrisonburg to the Baltimore
american, to the effect that Judge J. T
Harris. Judge H. G. Allen and Hon. VIM
Mines. would not support Col. O'Ferral
| for Congress. We have learned since that
the statement was incorrect SO far as Judge
Harris and Judge Allen are concerned
that both of them will support the Demo
cratic nominee for Congress in the It'll
District. Mr.. Mines, we understand, wi
not.
The Grand Jury of the Hastings Court
was in session several days last week. A
number of presentments were made, 9
large portion of them being for selling
liquor to minors, selling liquor on Sundays
and on election day. The jury had before
them several boys as witnesses. to testify
to the existence Of lewd houses and tt
selling of liquors to minors. This is bad
showing for the morals of the youth Of
Staunton, and some heroic steps ought tC
be taken to put stop to such evil tsmpta
tions and pitfalls.
