The large school house at this place was
croWed to-day at p. M, to do honor to
and to hear good Republican logic from
the Republican candidate for Congress
Jacob Yost. A good many ladies' were
present, and / know of others who were
anxious to be, but were deferred from par
tlclpatlng by uncertainty as to their well
come in consideration of their sex. Col.
Fulcher, with a few appropriate remarks.
introduced Mr.. Yost, who, after some
felicitous and ornate periods embodying
pleasant and apt "reminiscences of the
place and people, glided thence almost i'm
perceptibly into the more serious meas
ures becoming the discussion of grave and
important questions of political issue.
With astounding flueney-offspring of a
good memory and thorough acquaintance
with his subject, he poured into the ears
OF his attentive audience flood of finan-
clal history, accompanied with argu-
mentative statements so lucid and con-
ylncing in their pure and ringing enunci-
alton, as to send conviction, were that
possible, upon even the warped and dis
torted perception of the most hopeless,
graceless Bourbon of them all. Circum-
stances forbid any attempt here at re-
equalization of the telling points in Mr..
\ oSt'S discourse; but I cannot forbear
honorable mention of the distinguished
courtesy characterizing every allusion to
his persistently recusant opponent-at the
same time that, with fine polemic art,
the scathing denunciations of the latter's
political acts and creed, fell like the bolts
OF Jove upon his diminished head. The
speech was eminently calculated to con-
firm the opinions of those already of 1.-THE
household of sfaith,n and to stir up
convictions by thought and reflection in
the bosoms Of even ''ye firerce Democracy
save those, OF course, who are utterly OBJ
fuscated and lost in the Leathean slough
of irredeemable Bourbonism. The warm
approval and appreciation of the large
audience found expression in frequent
enthusiastic applause.
After speaking here, Mr.. Yost proceeded
Immediately to Middlebrook, where he is

A Card.

AS president of the b. A. T., in its man-
agement, | have only consulted my asso-
clates i'll the Board of Directors AS the
success of the fair is dependent on the peo-
pie OF all parties, we have studiously
avoided politics. The sale of whiskey was
excluded from its grounds without con-
sultatlon with any one outside of its Di-
rectors. And their were other causes
which contributed to it's success. Our
splendid special premium list contributed
by our citizens, irrespective of party, and
The Reunion OF our gallant old soldiers had
their effect.
In justice to the liquor dealers of this
city, have got to meet with one, before
or since the Fair, who has not endorsed
our course. A. w. HARTMAN,

ACcIDENT.-Mr. and Mrs. Andy Craw-
ford, last week, while on their way from
their home near Parnassus to Staunton,
met with an almost fatal accident. When
going down a very steep hill, where the
road was very narrow, some would-be
very smart fellow and his wife drove their
buggy over the foot of one of Mr.. Craw-
ford's horses, and, being quite young,
became frightened and unmanageable.

two occupants out and gripping them

two dozen nice fresh eggs were demol-

FALsEHOODs NAILED.

Information has reached me that re-
port is being circulated in Nelson county,
to the effect that in my speech, at Massie's
Mill, 1 said "a negro was superior to apoor
white man, and also that on that day l
had 'dined with a negro" 1t is needless
for me to say to those who know me or
were present on that occasion, that there
IS not one word 'of truth in these state
ments. To those who know me it is not
necessary to deny them. 70 those who
would wllfully circulate Il falsehood, no
denial OF mine would affect their purpose,
Tor 1t IS not the truth they wish to see pre-
vail. The statements are false in every
pafIlc ular and could have only originated
with desperate partizans realizing the GER
talnty OF defeat. JACOB Y OsT.

SALE or HARpER's FERRY.-On the
End, the real estate and riparian rights
owned by the United States were sold at
Harper's Ferry. The act of Congress
ordering the sale required that the entire
property should not be sold for less than
$4,000. Lot No. /, the water-powe en-
tire of the Potomac river, with the strip
OF land formerly occupied by the musket
works, was first offered, and was started
at $4,000 by a representative of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company. 1t was
run up to SO, 100, at which figure it was
knocked down to Thomas H. Savory, of
Wilmington, Del. The strip of land and
water rights on the Shenandoah river,
formerly occupied by the rifle works, we1t
to the same purchaser for $50, whilst the
building used as a pgstoffice site was pur-
chased by j. Garland Hurst for So, 500.
4 Also a large number of town lots were
sold, for which the Government received
thirty-three thousand dollars. The par
ties purchasing the water-power. it is
understood, want it for the purpose of car
shops on the Potomac side and a paper
mill on the shenandoah side.
