A DESERTED CHURCH.-One OF the finest
and largest church el!fces ever erected in
Virginia may be seen at Sandy Hook, about
four miles from Flint Hill, Rappshannock
county. 1t was built by John Shafner few
years ago. Shaftner WIS poor boy of the
neighborhood who thirty-fve years ago
made his way to New York city and there
accumulated large fortune. About ten
years ago he came back to Sandy Hook and
placed $4,000 in the hands of a friend for
the erection of Gothic temple in memory
of his mother The church is an immense
building Of pressed brick and brownstone,
with tower over ono hundred feet high.
The windows, twenty in number, were
glazed with the finest stained glass, the
doors, window frames and pews were of the
most expensive woods, and the choir con-
tanned fac organ. The church was dedi.
Gated with imposing ceremonies. The agent
of Shaftner completed the church with t.
large debt remaining on it. An appeal was
made TO Shaftncr, but change in his cir
cumstances prevented his responding to it.
The contractors and others seized the stain
ed glass windows, the doors, pews, organ,
&c, and left the church q mere she'll, since
which time it has been unoccupied. At the
side Of the road approaching the church for
over mile are rows Of the choicest shade

The Texas Tragedy.

GALVESTON, Tex. Aug. ga special to
the Ne,rs from Austin. dated yesterday,
says: "Thc story of the Locke tragedy
near johnson City is confirmed to day by a
stage driver just in from Blanco City with
letters detailing the assassinations as pre-
viously published. The last accounts say
that Locke did not succeed in killing his
daughter outright. She in still! alive, but
cannot survive. She has bullet wou@d
through the body. 1t is said that she has
confessed to her attending physician that
her father was the author of her ruin. The
daughter. whose downfall has
thus resulted in the death of 50 many per-
sons, all her near relatives, is represented to
be only fourteen years old. Nicholson, the
stranger who was supposed to have been
killed by Locke, has turned up safe. Locke
at last accounts was in Jail at Blanco.

COMMUNICATED,


The matter OF numbering the houses, or
rather of keeping up the numbering, has
been several times referred to Of late in tho
GAZETTE. 1t is a much simpler one than
seems to be supposed. Our present system
is good enough, the only trouble about it be
ing that it is nobodys duty 10 see il carried
out. Section /, chapter 5, Of The city code
tpages 81 81, makes all the provision ueces-
sary, if the City Council would merely de-
signate some officer to execute it. BE- u
strange oversight that was neglected when
the law was passed, ard when the ICON
tractor" alluded to in it had fulfilled his con-
:rac', it appeared 10 hc thought either that
10 more houses wclld ever lie bait, nr that
The builders y. ud nuuher them without
lc;ng Obliged I" d. -. Doubt 'ess 8 supple
mentary law would have been enacted had
not the war come on before the difficulty
began to be felt, and since the war, when
an effort was made to pass such a
law, the question was complicated by
the introduction of unnecessary provision
for marking vacant lots, which, think. defeated
it. Permit me to suggest a cheap and feasible
plan. Let the city surveyor be designated as the
officer who is to keep up the numbering. AS he
would have to 90 all around the town serving
notices and seeing that the law was complied
with, he might require small compensation for
this year, lut, hereafter, it would be very little
trouble for him to see that new houses were prop
crly numbered. when erected, and MS he gets a
fee for surveying each lot. be could sffud to do
so without additional pay. FIDELIs
