THE HARVEST season is upon us an

THE HARVEST season Is npOn us and
farmers are now busy gathering the
golden grain. So far rs we have heard
the promise for a fine yield is fiattering,
bnt the general impression seems to be
that the crop win not average as we'll as
last year, when, it will be remembered, 1t
was extraordinary. In almost every Sec
ton of the county the reapers will be in
operation this week, and in very few local.
|,ities only will the grain be standing Satur-
day evening. 1t is remarked among the
old farmers that there has been a per-
ceptible change in the time for cutting
wheat during the past twenty years. Har-
vest comes now almost a week earlier than
in the olden time. 1t used to be that the
fourth of July generally SAW the winding
up, whereas the first of the month now Is
regarded rs the closing out season. Another
thing noticeable is the fact thai wheat, as
a general thing. is threshed much sooner
after being cut than formerly.
The grass crop this year promises to
be heavy, and in acreage it exceeds that
Of many past seasons.

A CORR EcTIoN.- noticing last week
the compromise of the case of the B. &
o. r. r. vs.. Chas. O'Donnell, we stated
that Judgment had been rendered against
O'Donnell's securities, and that compro-
mise had been effected on the basis of one
half Of the amount recovered. AS to the
Judgment, we were in error. In fact the re-
verse was just the case. A picked jury,
after hearing the evidence, rendered a
verdict in favor of the defendant, and
Judge Mclaughlin set the verdict aside.

Why England Hates Mr.. Blaine's
& Policy. M
| lFrom the Dublin United Ireland

Abill to establish in America what the
/ English call Free Trade has just been
defeated in the House OF Represent
atiyes by the narrow majority of four.
The measure was ofsenormous Importance
for English manufacturers, as it would
have enabled them to export their goods
TO the States without the crushing tariff
now imposed for the protection OF native
nnfacturers, and its fatew was, therefore,
watched with intense interest by English
men. We're it passed, it would have
been worth at least 800, 900, 900 per
'annltm to British manufacturers. If the
Democratic party at their coming conven-
ton are so nnWise as to adopt Free
trade plank in their platform. we feel
sure this will ALLEVIATE hundreds and theus-
ands of Irish votes \,

ACCIDENT TO EX-SENATOR LEWIS
On Friday last ex-senator and Lieut. Gov
ernor John F. Lewis. whilst driving from
Harrisonburg to his home, was thrown
from his sulky and received severe injuries.
We have not heard the extent of the In
juries, but understand they are of quite a
serious nature. Senator Lewis has not
been in good health for some time, and his
many friends regret most deeply this acci-
dent and hope it may prove trifing in its
consequences.

A, FINE FARM FOB SALE.-We call
special attention. to the advertisement in
another column signed by u. j. Craig.
s.Riyerton is not only naturally one of
the best farms of the Valley, but it has
been improved and cultivated as have
few Virginia farms. Every thing about
the premises, land, fences and improve
ments, is in appie-pie order, and the Par-
chaser who gets it will have nothing to do
but move in and go to making money. 1t
is rarely such property is put on the
market. and parties looking out for paying
investments should examine this place 1t
can be bought for less than it is worth.

AN ELEGANT PIECE OF ART WORK.
At Hamaker' 3 store are now on exhibition
two elegant statues of Gen. r. =. Lee.
They are twenty -one inches high and of
pure bronze. The figure is miniature of
the colossal statue of Lee recently I'M
yelled in New Orleans, and is one of the
most perfect specimens of art work ever
seen in Staunton. The price is 800 each.
Mr.. Hamaker has been persuaded to
offer one of them at rattle. The party who
is lucky enough to secure the prize will
have an ornament worthy OF a place in any
parlor.

A CHOICE BO0K.--We are always glad
to herald, in oar columns, the public
spirited enterpriseOf our citizens, whether
individually or collectively. and in pursH-
ance of this policy we take pleasure in call
ing the attention 0f our readers to the
announcement, in one of tO-day'S adyer-
tisements, of the purpose Of Prof. Leoni-
das Poyntz to canvass during the summer
Vacation, our city and yicinage with view
to securing subscribers to two volumes of
rare and exceptional merit. AS the mer-
it's of these books are such as to enlist the
profound and active interest of people
noted as ours are for characteristic intel
ligence, it is well that their distribution is
in the hands of gentleman and educator,
so well known for intelligent cultivation,
as thus every individual and every house
hold will have an opportunity for acquaint-
ance with their merits.

over 1900 pages with $500 Illustrations

Poyntz in his own person represents home
enterprise, his publishing house, in Rich

that legislation, are destined to exercise a
marked effect upon the politiealand indus
trial condition of the people of the State.
Virginia is Nnst now i'll the transition
stage. Her live, practical men recognize
that her fntuFe greatness is dependent
upon the deyelopmeAtof her latent wealth
and the Inauguration of Industrial enter
prises. They know, too, that these must
necessarily be tho outgrowth of wise rev.
enue laws, the basis of which shall be pro-
lection to American industries and Amer
lean labor. 1t is upon the tariff issue,
more than any other, that the battle OF
1884 is to be. joined, and it behooyes the
people to KEEP themselves thoroughly
posted upon al questions relating to it,
Inthe future, as in the past, the VIR-
eINIAN will give special attention to this
subject, as well as to the earnest advocacy
of those prominent measures which have
contributed to the upbuilding of the coun-
try and are the proud boast of the Repub-
lican party.
