A DARING ROBBERY.-A letter to tn
Dispatch from Culpeper county, gives the
following particulars of a daring robbery
committed in that county. Mr.. Somer-
vile, the young man who was so roughly
handled, is brother of Mr.. G. B. Somer-
vile, of this city. The letter is under date
Of the 14th, and says: s'
A robbery was committed at the neigh
boring village of Mitchell's Station last
night, which for GOODNESS and daring would
rival some of the roDberies in large cities.
Young Frank Somerville, of the firm of J.
w. Somerville 81 Co., merchants, Mitchell s
Station, on returning to his store last
night about II o'clock, was met by three
masked men. who, with drawn pistols,
commanded him to throw up his hands.
He was then securely tied and gagged, and
told to keep himself comfortable. His cap
tors deliberately overlooked the stock of
goods and helped themselves. They or
dered him to open the iron safe, which he
positively refused to do, whereupon they
broke a hole in it and blew it open, and
took therefrom $500 to 81 900, overlooking
one package of money containing about
$500. They carried away a lot of canned
fruits, &c.. and such other articles as
pleased their fancy, leaving Mr.. Somer-
vile bound and gagged. He was found in
that condition this morning between and
S O'Clock. There is no clue as yet to the
perpetrators of the robbery.

Mrs. Elizabeth Burton, 1elict of the late
Thomas Burton, passed away, aftera ling
ering illness, on the 18th inst, at her resi-
dence near this place, in the seventy-fourth
year Of her age. She received the best
medical skill and the kindest care from
loving and attentive hands, but her disease
baffled skill and put at nought the minis
trations Of affection, leaving the great fat
of nature to be fulfilled. The deceased
was daughter of Christian Rusmiselle,
of this county, a revolutionary veteran,
who several years ago entered into rest.
The remains were interredat Union church
beside those of her husband.
Rev. Mr.. Talmage and family, of New
York, were at the Stribling Springs last
week and left for the White Sulphur.
The ladies' of Union Church will hold a
festival in the grove on the land Of Mr.. j.
A. Whitmore near here, next Thursday.
We hope the ladies will be liberally patron
lied in their benevolent enterprise.
The cottages at the Lone Fountain and
Wooddell are rapidly filling up with visi-
tors. The O'Connell Lithia, near Stribling,
is attracting the afflicted. The spring has
recently been handsomely inclosed and
decorated with native ferns.

The farmers are very busy tryingto save
their crOps..of wheat which, for this Sec
tion, is considerably above the average.
The farmers were longer this,year, OH ac-
count of rain, in getting their harvesting
done but there is no complaint of the wet
spell doing any damage to the crops. Those
OF our farmers who have threshed say the
wheat yields well to the dozelt and is of
excellent quality. Mr.. II. S. Harnsberger
has threshed Il portion of his large crop
and is well pleased with the yield. The
corn and oats are looking well and at
present promise an abundant crop.
The energetic threshermen of this sec
ton, Messrs. Harris & Wampler, are
showing their business with vim which
is sure to bring success to them and salts
faction to their patrons. They are rum
ming two steam threshers. Mr.. N. j.
Drumheller is also in the field with his
new rig" which he recently purchased
from Messrs. Hanger & Armentrout. OF
your city and as an evidence Of the good
work he has been doing in his line and the
great demand made upon him by his Gus
toners to be accommodated, he has been
necessitated to order another machine just
like the one he recently purchased. To
Say he is determined to thresh more wheat

Brethren church at this place, the people

Sprunt, of Augusta Church, has favored
us with one sermon. We hope they will
repeat their visits. They also have -four

held in their lodge room on the night of July
18th, 1881, the Worthy Chief called the attention
of our late brother, Thomas Mahoney, whose

cleveland's Obnoxious vetos.

New Y DIRK, July 10.-"The measures
which have been the cause of the greatest
amount of dissatisfaction with Gov. Cleve-
land ann ng the members of his OWN party
in this State said prominent member
of the Tammany organization tonight are
First. His veto of the Five-cent Fare
bill.
...Second. His veto of the Twelve Hour
law
''Third. His veto of the. Public Wor-
ship bill and fourth, his veto of the Cath
Ole Protectory Appropriation bill.
1.-The first bill provided that the fare on
the elevated railroads in New York City
should be five cents, instead of ten, and
that the present commission hours during
which that rate prevails should be abol-
ished. This bill was passed by the lLegis-
lature and vetoed by the Governor
s.The Twelve Hour law bill provided
that the working time of employees on the
elevated roads in the city and the. street
cars throughout the state should be limited
to that period. Conductors and drivers
are at present compelled to work from ff-
teen to seventeen hours a day. and the JUS
tice of the bill was sufficiently recognized
to insure it's passage through both branches
of the Assembly. Gov, Cleveland saw fit,
however. to veto the bill. 1t was said that
his hostility to the Five-cent Fare bill was
to be accounted for by the fact that he was
a stakeholder in number of the surface
railroads, the value of which stock would
naturally be decreased by the passage of
the measure. However thatsmay be, do
not undertake to say"
what was the Public Worship bill?'
sThat was bill granting permission to
the clergy of the Roman Catholic Church
to hold services at the House of Refuge,
on Randall's Island. The bill permitting
this to be done passed the Assembly and
would have become law but for Grover
Cleveland.
1.-THE Catholic Protectory, as you know,
is public institution, built by the mem
bers of the Catholic Church in Westminster
County for the reception of young men and
women sentenced there by the magistrates
in the surrounding counties. No money
had ever been asked from the state for
this institution, the managers of which
had done so much for the reformation Of
the youth of the state. 1t was found
necessary, however, within the past year
to expend some 100000 for the improve
ment of the sewerage of the institution
and this the state was asked to supply. A
pledge was given that no more money
would ever be asked from the state on it's
account, and a majority of both branches
of the Assembly was readily obtained for
the measure. When the appropriation
bills were returned from the Executive
Chamber 1t was found, however. that this
same Governor had refused to sign the
item mentioned.

Mrs. Isaac d. Moon. of Fishersville, had a
fall about three weeks ago from stool
upon which she was standing, in an at
tempt to reach some object ON high shelf
In the fall her ankle..was so badly sprained
that she has been unable, up to this time
to put her foot to the floor, and has suf-
fered intensely.
In trying to check car that had been
detached from his train and was in immi-
nent danger of being derailed, Capt. M.
Lynn had his thumb badly crushed. This
occurred at Buffalo Gap on Friday of last
week. DR.. Atkinson, of your city, dressed
the wound and it is doing well.
A dude from your city, it is said, driving
a span of fine blacks, stopped in front of
the postoffice in Fishersville one day last
week, and called for the mail of gentle
man who resides near the village. There
is yard OF 40 feet in length between the
street where the dude sat in his buggy and
the Office door. He requested that the
mail be brought to ham. Miss Kate Bate
man, a lady of the highest responsibility,
the postmistress, very properly refused to
act as mail carrier for the cheeky dude
aforesaid, and he drove away, leaving the
mail in the window where it had been put
by Miss Bateman. In short while, how
ever, he returned and taking dollar (his
only one doubtlessl from his pocket, handed
it to little negro, with the order that he
should ask Miss Bateman what she charged
for delivering the mail, and further to tell
her to take her pay. This was heaping in
suit upon the insult already offered, and
Miss Kate, who comes of stock that
would die rather than pocket such i'm
pudence, went to the door and thanked the
aforesaid dude, telling him II am post
mistress and notImail carrier, and no gen
tleman would expect lady to carry his
mail to him." Mr.. Dude replied by saying
that mo lady would occupy the position
| held by you, "and drove away.
Now, Mr.. Editor, it pains me to chron-
icle this episode, but this not an insult to
the postmistress alone, but to the whole
community, and unless the individual who
| offered the insult makes proper amends, I
am quite sure he will regret his visit to
Fishersville.
The G. & D. Company have secured the
services Of Mr.. X. Weaver as agent at
this place, and besides being an excellent
agent Mr.. Weaver is gentleman of the

of that class has heart as large as the
world. He is the jumbo of agents on
this line. Mr.. Weaver, with his estimable
wife, will in few days begin housekeep-
ing in the house now occupied by DR.. j.
M. Watson, who will move to hisconcrete
mansion on his farm.
We had the pleasure of meeting a short
time ago Jno. w. Meade, transfer agent

most pleasant and accommodating young
man. Mr.. Meade studies to please his

for the company for which he is agent.
He deserves his popularity and receives

A SERIOUS STABBING AFFRAY.-On
Tuesday afternoon an alteration occurred
at Waynesboro Junction, in this county,
between M. w. Quarles and r. M. Hicks,
which resulted in Mr.. Quarles receiving a
severe wound. AS far as we have been
able to gather the particulars of the diff
Guilty they are about as follows
Mr.. Hicks has for several years kept an
eating house at the Junction. This spring
Mr.. Quarles built q hotel near the depot,
and leased it to Capt. j. B. Perkins, who,
about a week ago, moved in and opened
hotel. Strong opposition soon grew up be-
tween the two houses. Mr.. Quarles, it is
said, by permission Of the r. r. Co., con-
structed platform from the railroad
across the open ground to his hotel, OBJ
structing ingress and egress to Hick s
property, and keeping off the vehicles for
the conveyance of passengers. This lead
to warm words between Messrs. Quarles
and Hicks, which eliminated in a quarrel
Tuesday evening. Hicks called Quarles a
liar, and Qnarles, it is said, struck him
over the head with q stick. Hicks had
been cutting h is nails with pocket knife,
and when struck used the knife. There
are number of con tlicting reports. and it
is impossible to determine which is cor
rect.
We take the following account of the
character of the wound from the Waynes-
boro Messenger of yesterday
Mr.. Quarles was seriously stabbed by the
knife entering at the point Of the last rib
on the left side, ranging downward, enter
ing the cavity without cutting the stOm-
ach also severe cut under the right arm.
Mr.. Hicks made no attempt to escape.
Mr.. A. G. Fry and Mrs. Hicks succeeded
in getting him into the house, while Mr..
Quarles was carried into the station. DIR.
j. s. Myers was Immediately summoned
and rendered the necessary aid. Sergeant
S. A. Ferguson arrived in short time and
promptly arrested Mr.. Hicks and brought
him to town, where he was examined be-
fore Mayor. Jones, who, on account of
the absence Of an important witness, who
left on the train, postponed the trial I'M
til Friday at 5 O'Clock. Mr.. Hicks was
admitted to bail in the sum of $500, Mr..
J. A. Patterson becoming his bondsman.
Mr.. Quarles at present is doing as well as
could be expected.
