ssNow see here, my friend" said John
Proctor, his honest eyes looking grayely
Into the tramp's face as he balanced
q dime on the tip Of his finger, "rm
not going to read you q homily on the
subject of labor, hut I want to present
for your consideration a little matter of
statistics. You know, as well as /,
that the Territory is swarming with
men of your class. No less than six,
begging for money, have stopped me
on the streets to-day; while down there
at the yard'-indicating with his hand
a row of tall lumber piles surrounding
q small building in the distance-"we
haven't had three applications for work
In a month"
"Try me.
"Do you imagine you would work if
you had the chance? l have had a lit

He addressed him genericallv, as the
representative of a race. "You work
a an hour then come around with
the plea that you can't labor on an
empty stomach, draw an advance of
half a dollar on your wages and that is
the last we yer see of you.n
The man retorted SO sharply that one
could almost have fancied the poor
remnant of spirit still abiding in him
stirred to something resembling wrath

.John Proctor,s voice was stern and
decisive. The tramp halted, hesitated.
looked away, then shufied back again.
"Come down to the yard this after
noon and I'll give you a job. But take
the half dollar first and get filled up
first
He had exchanged the dime for a
larger coin and held it in his put
stretched palm. The man did not i'm
mediately extend his hand to take It.
In the moment or two that elapsed the
young lumberman thought that he de-
tected a trace of something allied to
~resentful pride in his bearing. But the
Illusion vanished as a grfmy hand
closed greedily upon the silver. and the
fellow disappeared without even troub-
ling himself to make any formal ex-
expression of his gratitude.
John Proctor looked after him with
q quizzical smile. Five minutes later
he knew his own name would be the
toast of a drunken crowd of Ioafers in
the saloon around the corner. It was
not his first experience of the kind. To
be sure it would help to advance a GER
tain Quixotic reputation which had at
tached itself to him since his first adj
vent in this little New Mexican town.

A wavering voice replied:
''Only me. Is that you, bossp"
John Proctor bent forward and per-
ceived a man slowly crawling along in
the shadow of a pile of joist. As the
figure emerged into the moonlight, he
saw that the fellow dragged one leg
helplessly after him. His suspicious
melted away beneath his natural
warmth of heart.
"Are you hurt?"

He had drawn himself to Proctor's

hand.

Death.-Our citizens were greatly shocked
the morning of the 18th to hear of the sud-
den death of Mr.. Samuel Dinkle, one of
our most substantial citizens. Many of
his neighbors, the writer among the num-
Der, had seen and spoken to Mr.. Dinkel
during the morning, either@t home or in
the village. He was sitting in his house
and his lady had just left the room few
minutes, when on her return she found
him gasping in death. He had started, it
is supposed, to get q drink from the
bucket on the opposite side of the room,
and fell and expired before reaching it. He
had been feeling unwell at times but was
attending to his ordinary business, up to
the time of his death. He was kind
neighbor and will be much missed by the
community, who for miles around hurried
to his residence upon hearing of his sud
den death and many tears coursed down
the sad features of his old neighbors as
they stood around his inanimate form and
witnessed the deep grief of his bereayed
wife and family.
The Drouth still continues and many Of
the farmers have not sown their wheat
yet. The dust and heat have become
almost insufferable.
Religious. During the last few weeks
the German Baptists or Thinkers, have
been holding series of religious meetings
at Sangersvile and in that vicinity and
have baptized and taken into their church
about so members. They have lately in
PRODUCED Sunday schools into their church
and are inclined to keep step with the
progress of other churches in evangeliZing
the world.
The centennial services of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, South, which took
place on Sunday and Monday, the 9Th and
9th inst, were unusually interesting and
impressive. The Rev. Mr.. Waters de-
liyered very able lecture upon the sub
ject of education-both religions and Sec
ulai, which was followed by able and APP
propriate addresses and appropriate sacred
music almost fanltless in execution. The
whole arrangement, including the beauti-
full and exquisitely tasteful decoration of
the church, could not be excelled. A
handsome sum was contributed to the
centennial fund during the services.

RAILROAD ACCOMMODATIONS T he
people of Stanton have been in sort of
ferment for several weeks past, because
the night express on the Baltimore and
Ohio, and that on the Chesapeake and
Ohio have been taken off. Probably no
train ever run into Staunton1 that was
more popular than the Baltimore and
Ohio night express. 1t enabled our peo-
pile to visit Lexington and Lynchburg by
leaving Staunton at 3:15 in the morning,
transact days business, and return the
next night. Or they could leave Staunton
at l0:15p. M, breakfast in Washington or
Baltimore, give - hours to business, and
be ut home the next marning to breakfast.
This great convenience and economy of
time they have been deprived Of by the
discontinuance Of the train. The mail ia
cilities it afforded were not the least of the
accommodations 1t bronght much of
our Northern mail, and being very regu-
lar it supplied much-feltIneed. IN 4
We are now getting Northern. Eastern
and Southern mail by the Chesapeake and
Ohio on the Louisville express, which
leaves Washington at sos p. M, connects
at Charlottesville Junction with the Rich
mond and Southern trains and reaches here
at II 20. This arrangement of the P. o.
Department has quoted the complaints of
our business men. and in fact meets the
necessities of the case. But it does not
compensate for the loss Of the B. and o.
night express. and we hope the petition
1iat has been signed and sent on to the
authorities will have its designed effect
ia having the night express restored. In
this progressive age the people do not like
to 60 backwards, especially in business
and mail facilities, and we trust the Il. &
%. will faymably1 consider the demands OF
our citizens in this respect.

DEATH OF THos. J. GLENDY.-We re-
greet to have to record the death of Mr..
Thos. J. Glendy, son of Robt. j. Glendy,
ESQ.,, of Bath county. He was thrown
from his horse, several days before his
death, and so severely injured that it
caused a fatal termination. He was about
80 years of age, and much esteemed by all
who knew him. We sincerely sympathize
with his family and friends in his taking
off in the flush of robust manhood, and
when life presents its most attractive
features.
