We clip the following from the Shenan-
dOah Press.
On June Sd, Mr.. VIM. May and wife,
who resided near Newman's Mill, about
. 3 miles northeast of this place, started
ON trip to Rochelle, Madison county,
stopping at Standardsville on their way
to Rochelle where they put up for the
night. Early next morning Mr. May
awoke and calling to his wife he told her
it was about time to start on their jour
ney. After this he laid down again re-
marking as he did SO, ~ feel splendid
this morning; never felt better in my
life" Shortly after his wife heard him
gasp as if strangling, and upon looking
at him she saw that in the short time
since he had spoken the grim monster had
claimed him and his life had gone out
with scarcely struggle--he was dead.
The remains of Mr.. May were inferred
at Standardsville.
Mrs. May has removed to her brothers
in Rockingham county.
On Tuesday last while Mr. Mat. Good,
who resides near this place, was putting
hay into NOW from wagon
with a patent hay-fork he met
with what might have proved serious
accident. A fork of hay had been put in
the NOW and the fork was being returned
to the wagon for another load when, as it
was descending, Mr.. Good stumbled re-
ceiving the fork on the side of his neck.
The wound bled very profusely, but we
understand that it was only flesh wound
and with proper care Mr.. Good will soon
be able to get at work again.
We notice, in going through the carriage
factory of ]. w. Clinedinst & Bro. of this
place, some very elegantly constructed and
finely finished Rockaways, Phaetons, and
Buggies of the latest styles. The Messrs'
Clinedinst do thriving business, turning
out work for all parts of the country, and
their reputation for putting nothing but
the best upon the market has given them
wider range of patronage than any
other house in the Valley.
They are deserving of all the success
with which they are meeting.
Mr.. John Schaffer, who resides in
Schaeffer-town, about 2 1-2 miles north
east of this place, has an onion of this
years growth that measures 2 "a inches
in circumference.

The heaviest rain ever known on Cedar
Creek fell last Friday. 1t commenced just
above Van Buren, Furnace and extended
down to Star Tannery. The road along
the creek, in many places, was complete
" destroyed and considerably injured for
almost the entire distance of twelve
miles. 1t will require fully one Thousand
dollars and much labor to put it in good
condition. The sugar hill road was also
much injured. A great deal of property
was destroyed. Mr.. Geo. II. Hannah it is
reported, lost his entire crop of wheat and
corn. The damage at the tannery OF
Messrs. Hans Rees Sons, is said to have
been light. The upper mountain road was
not injured. The milk and cream OF al
most the entire Valley was washed away
DR.. Kings was saved by being in Cooley
cans. He saved about one hundred gal
Ions of milk and cream by the use of these
cans. Nearly all the crops wheat, corn
and grass were damaged.
Among the heavy sufferers were Messrs.
Jos. Wilmington, Morgan Conner, and
Lewis Orndorf. Nearly every farmer on
the creek suffered more or less SEVERITY

TOPICS FROM THE STATE PRESS.
The Demand for Reduction in County Ex-
penSes-DemOcrats and the Tariff,
The Fee and Salary Question.

Writer in Winchester Herald
The indianapolis Journal is doing a noble
work in exposing to the people the enormous
fees and salaries that the county officers receive
in Marion county. This is a matter that inter
ests not only the citizens of Marion county but
those of every county in the State.
A greater outrage on the people doesn't exist
in the whole commonwealth than this thing of
allowing county officers to gouge out Of the PEG
pie fortune in every four years term of oftice
1t is safe to say that every county officer IN this
county receives so per cent. more for his serv-
ices than he ought to. and some of them, were
they doing the same kind of work for a railroad,
or other private corporation, would not receive
one-third as much
Not content with the fees allowed them by
law, they are continually gouging the people by
taxing fees that they have no moral or legal
right to whatever To remedy this evil we must
send men to the Legislature who will look after
the interests of the people, and not allow them
selves to be hoodwinked and bulldozed by the
county officials. This matter has been before
the Legislature every session for years, but the
county officers invariably muster a full lobby
force, and, with money and other means, defeat
any measure looking to the reduction of their
fees Let all voters at the coming election know
