correspondence of the Richmond DisDatch.I
FINCAsTLE, February IL, 1884.
Fincastle has communication with the
outside world now by water-and mud.
What could have induced so many OF the
sovereigns TO wade TO the courthouse to-
day is beyond my ken. True 1t was court
day. but 10 business Of public interest was
transacted.
Speaking OF roads, is it not a shame that
in so fertile and populous county as old
Botetourt, with limestone rocks almost
everywhere IN sight, the roads for q
considerable portion Of the year should
be mud canals? | made the acquaintance
OF a land-buyer the other day who had
come 10 settle here, but after a few days
navigation returned home disguised. 1t
must be remembered, however, that the old
Virginia and Tennessee McAdam road
traverses the county, and it is still in pretty
good repair, and moreover that our county
roads will compare fayorably with those OF
other counties.
The doctors are having a lively cam.
paign at present. They are all pretty much
broken down by incessant work. Whoop-
ing-cough, pleurisy, pneumonia, and kim
bred diseases are worrying the younger
portion OF the population pitilessly. There
have, however, been but few deaths, and
the scarlet-fever epidemic reported few
days ago seems to be on the decline.

Mud Geysers I'm Ohio.

A Wheeling special says: A gentleman
who has arrived by boat from Powhatan.
Ohio. reports rather startling phenome-
non at that point. Yesterday afternoon
the inmates OF the house Of Aaron RAM
sey, about sixty in all, food refugees. heard
loud report in the direction OF Captina
creek. They saw, about 800 yards dis
tant, what appeared to he column OF
smoke issuing from the ground. A party
proceeded to the spot and found that a
dense mass OF sand, gravel, and mud was
issuing from hole about two feet in diam
eter, and was rising to height OF fifty or
sixty feet, and often, by sudden pulsation.
forty or fifty feet higher. The eruption
was accompanied by terrific roar. The
PAL ty looked on in awe for time, but were
soon put TO fight by another geyser break
ing through the ground almost in their
midst and covering them with mud. The
volume OF dirt reached q greater height
than that from the first geyser. The dis
charge was at first thought to be occa-
stoned by natural gas, but all efforts TO de-
tect the presence Of gas by fire or other
wise were futile. Hundreds Of curious
people have already visited the spot.

I'D. McCulloch. the only son oil Mrs. s.

dent at the college, died TINS morning OF
scarlet-fever. He seemed IN usual health
and attended his reeitaiions Friday, was
taken sick at night, ana dled NJ about .
o'clock Monday morning.
This rapid development OF disease so
much to be dreaded has caused Tho great
est excitement amongst the students In the
college, and also In our town. A few
hours after the death OF the young man the
faculty held meeting, and called the ply
sicians to consult with them as to the best
mems to be used to prevent the spread OF
the disease, and what course the Young
men had better take under the circum-
stances. The result OF this consultation Is
that the best sanitary measures that can be
devised will be promptly attended to, and
the students are advised to wait patiently
for few DAYS and see IL any other cases
appear. Quite a number OF the students
have left already. and others are preparing
to leave. Most Of them have so far shown
disposition to take the advice OF the
faculty and await developments
The health OF the college has been re-
markably good during the session until
this time. This Is. indeed. sad day for
the whole community. The college is
draped in mourning and every countenance
there is sad, both on account Of the sudden
death OF their fellow-student and the dam
ger that may be hanging over them.
Parents and friends at distance may be
assured that should other cases occur
among the students that remain the people
Of Blacksburg will render any service in
their power for their comfort and restora-
ton to health. At present there is hope
that the disease may not become epidemic.
We had extremely cold weather during
the whole Of January, but this month has
been rainy and warm so far. A general
thaw and the continued rains have rem
dered the roads almost impossible.
We have some serious cases OF sickness
in our town. ii.

The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, in
discussing ARTHUR as candidate and the
general presidential outlook, says:
.There Is no Intelligent politician. however
sentimental OF practical he may be, who does not
fully recognize that the presidential contest or the
present year Is certain 10 be exceedingly close
one. There Is not one southern State 20 obtain a
single Republican electoral vote from; there are
the states Of New YORK, New Jersey, Connecticut,
Ohio, and indiana IN doub'. and Just about AS
likely 70 so Democratic rs Republican II the Re-
publican party dominates It's strongest and most
popular leader, and rather more likely than not TO
10 Democratic in case the Republican party nom
nate weak snd unpopular leader"
This embodies most significant confess
sion. Although the Telegraph is one OF
the fairest Republican papers IN the North,
the signs Of the times must be exceedingly
plain 10 order to inspire such language as
the above. The Democracy could not ask
a more encouraging forecast. When IL Is
resd between the lines, and allowance Is
made for the predictions Of the Telegraph,
Il virtually says that the chances are almost
dead against the Republican party In the
pivotal States.
