A Hog

There was an amusing incident in con-
nection with the regular meeting of the
west end euchre club, the first of the
week. A certain member of the club has
been more fortunate than the Others
with the popular game-progressiv
euchre-having won something like
twelve games out of fifteen. The success
and skill of the gentleman referred To has
naturally been source of envy to the
other me mbers of the society, so it was
decided to get even with him in some
way On the occasion alluded to. the
successful player was made the recipient
of long box. which was rendered as a
mark of the estimation in which the lucky
man was held by his associates, AS well
as an appropriate attestaton of the num-
Der of games he had won The gentle
man took from the box "A curious looking
package and unrolling it. unwrapped
paper after paper until he finally reached
a small but perfectly designed hog. The
surprise was complete and the meaning
was conceived by the recipient of the
strange gift Immediately. Upon exam-
nation. the miniature image proved to
be full of candy, of which all partook
freely.

FIRE.-Last Saturday morning, about
O'Clock, the alarm of fire was sounded from
both fire bells, arousing the entire city. 1t
was found that the interior of the brick
building, Oh Spring Lane, owned by Mr..
Timothy Hounihan, and occupied by Mr..
Jas. "A. Hounihan, as q bar room, was
ablaze. The. fire companies were promptly
working condition, and it was some
minutes before effective work could be
done. The entire inside of the building,
on the first and second floors, was destroyed
-she upper rooms being used for sleeping
and the lower for the bar. The file was
sirSt noticed in a wooden pass-way at the
south end, to the upstairs. The window
at the back of the brick building was
broken by the flames, and the. opening
created a suction. which drew the flames
inside, and ignited the wood work. The
inside was a perfect swreck,.. counters,
shelves, tables, chairs, &C., being ignited
and speedily consumed. Several barrels of
whisxey were destroyed, and several rolled
out safely. 1t is not known how the fire
originated. If it occurred where it first
WAS noticed, it must have been the work
of an incendlary If in the inside of the
brick building, it may have been caused
from the stove. There was no one in the
builCing at the time, as after the bar was
closed, Mr.. Hounihan attended a dance,
and was there when the alarm was given.
He lost all of his..clothing, except what he
had on, as well as the furniture in the
sleeping rooms.

Analyst.
A very slight knowledge of the virtue of
mineral waters is sufficient to satisfy all
that spring impregnated with such in
gradients must become celebrated when
known. From the above analysis it is
seen that the waters are adapted to ab-
dominal affections, as of the stomach
liver, spleen, in Intermittent fevels, rheu-
matism and scrofuIa. The tonic proper
ties must exert a most beneficial effect on
persons exhausted by labor or disease suca
as dyspepsia, and it is to be regretted that
there are no accommodations for the pub.
lie near the sweet chalybeate.
We may add that the spring is situated
at the base of rocky hill which looks to
the S. E., and fronting on meadow and
apple orchard. and in locality Astounding
in promenades amidst truly picturesque
and romantic scenery, and in a region
where the chemist, the geologist, the
mineralogist, the botanist and the land
scape painter will find much to amuse,
employ and reward attention.
The location of Steephiil house on the
south eastern slope Of the little mountain,
as it has not inaptly been styled, recall
some lines of Goldsmith IS:
Here smiling spring.itslearliest visit pays,
And parting Summers lingering bloom delays"
Some weeks since correspondent,
Progress, in one of our papers sug-
gested the purchase Of 40 or so acres OF
land near Staunton for the erection of
hotel or hotels on it for the aceommoda-
ton of the public all the year round.
Would it not be just the thing to secure a
portion of land round about the Sweet
Chalybeate Spring and erect there such
hotels as those at the Natural Bridge
We learn that Col. Geo. T.. Peyton ex-
presses the opinion that if such
accommodations existed there would not
be the slightest difficulty about fillingt them
with summer visitors. In this case we
should have hundreds of visitors annually
with US spending ten of thousands OF dol
lars. Such resort would add immensely
to our prosperity.

steephil sweet chalybeate Spring


For many years the mineral spring on
SteephiIl, about a mile from Staunton, has
been held. by the neighborhood population,
in high repute by reason of the good ef-
fects produced by the waters. No one
knew exactly what ingredients it con-
tanned, but there was but one opinion as to
their virtue. After using the waters there
was revival of the languishing circula-
ton, new direction given to the vital
energies, establishment Of perspira
tory action of the skin and salutary eyacu-
atlons, or, in other words, great change
in the bodily condition, a renewal of
strength and restoration of health and ami
NAL spirits. The cures they effected are
held in traditional remembrance, and have
led the present proprietor to have quail
tative analysis made of the water by the
accomplished professor of Chemistry in
the Staunton Academy, DR.. Traphagen.

APPLIES WILL BE SCARCE.-While the
orchards of this and adjoining counties
have borne abundantly this season, it
seems it is not so in other sections of the
country. From the paragraph given be-
low, taken from the Philadelphia Record
of recent date, we conclude that it would
be wise for our fruit growers to carefully
store away their winter apples. 1t is
rarely the case that the apple crop is uni
form throughout the States, and this sea
son is no exception. The failure in some
localities is compensated for by the abun-
dant supply in others, and as we are the
favored people this year, advantage should
be taken of it, and all the benefit possible
gotten out of it. The Record says: 1t is
expected that apples of good eating quail
ity will be scarce this winter and cores
pondingly high in price. In the Middle
States the crop is said to be very light,
and those coming into the market are OF
poor quality. In most of the Eastern
States the crop has been a large one and
| the fruit is more perfect than usual, but
the supply from these States will not be
sufficient to overcome the dearth OF the
fruit here. Kentucky and Tennessee will
! be called upon to furnish a supply, so far
as able, of the kinds most popular with
consumers, but this will not be sufficient
| to supply the demand. Some of the COM
mission men say they expect very few
good apples after the middle of next
month, the better ones coming in prior to
November l. Other dealers assert that
the best apples will be along about Christ
mas, as the Eastern farmers, learning OF a
probable scarcity here, are pretty sure to
hold their stock for an anticipated rise in
prices,
