How IT SHOULD BE DoNE.-In refer
ence to the election next Fall of Cover
nor, Lieutenant-G Governor, Attorney Gene
raj, and members Of the Legislature, tho
Lynchburg Adranee says:-'To sweep the
State of Virginia, every move must bs
based on popularity with the masses-ws
must avoid Jars in the counties. The cam
didates, State and county, must be men
who will not be pu' on the defensive. but
who will be able to take the aggressive and
show the corruptions and iniquities Of Vir-
ginia Radicalism. The candidates for Gov
ernor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney
General must be of the highest most ac-
ceptable and popular order-men as free az
possible from objection, and able ON the
hustings to sustain themselves and their
party. The great thing to be done il to
secure enthusiastic harmony in the party,
and this can be done only by a proper g.

We fail to see why it ID that the Malone
Republicans are raising such clamor over
the public school fund, and saying that the
teachers do not receive their pay and have
to subject their claims to the shaving pro-
eess.' Who i 70 ignorant in this State -
to be deceived by such false reports. The
teachers have to wait no longer now for
their pay than they did when Mahonsism
was in its glory ~ Neither do they have
to shave their claims any more now than
then. The amount of money turned over
this year il more than in any previous year.
Then why doesn' the teacher get his payf
Why does he have to shave his claims? We
can answer back from the most western
county of the old State that such reports
are false. Our schools in this county this
year were of higher grade and better than
ever before. Our teachers have been we'll
paid. And If the schools will continue -
they were this year there il no reason that
any child should grow up in ignorance
The false reports Of these ofacs-ssskers
only adds strength to our cause. 30. let

Stock Pens ana Shelter.


By our agricultural editor.
It is time now to begin to see about max
ing the stock pens and shelter for the cattle
and sheep during the winter. The old
style cow-pen, II provided with good
shelter overhead and plenty Of litter under
feet il much better than nothing. Indeed,
it may be made very comfortable and good
quarters, II pains are taken to mako Close
and tight ut least three sides Of the enclo-
sure, 70 a. to break on the wind from the
north, northeast and northwest sides.
Pine brush win notd tmust be 10 close
as to exclude the wind from entering. One
Of the best and cheapest plans, which an
swers we'll a. temporary arrangement for
one winter is, after the shelter il made
overhead, to set fence rails on end, setting
them rest against the shelter, and setting
them out two or three feet at the bottom,
20 as to be inclined little like the roof Of
house. Against this throw leaves or pine
straw foot or moro thick, and keep them
in place by laying more rails or poles
against them. This makes . close wall
that stops all wind and sffectually protects
from snow, rain and biting cold. Then, II
the shelter overhead il waterproof. and Q
good bed of litter is kept underfoot, the
cattle will be dry and comfortable, and will
rest contented. They will winter in good
condition on less feed, and the manure that
you may save will alone be worth more
than the cost of the shelter and pens. By
all means keep the stock dry under foot.
Do not let them have to stand in mud .
single hour. Material is 30 abundant and
cheap in this southern country, that there
is no excuse whatever for keeping the
stock without good shelser.-Petersburg

Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases. and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one Of Mr.. .IRLAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
ribie itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities Of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
tion, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RrLLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.

"FANoY," OR "OLD soRBE L."-
sTancy," the war-horse of Lieutenant
General sStonewall' jackson, passed
through Abingdon last week, under charge
Of Maj. H. s. Lochsr, representing the vir-
einia Military Institute, The horse goes to
New Orleans, to be exhibited for the benefit
Of fund to bs expended in building .
memorial chapel at the V. n. l., whore Gen
Jackson was professor on furlough at the
time Of his death, and had been for twelve
years. The horse was presented to the In
stituts some two or three years ago, under
the condition that it should be cared for,
and at its death b stuffed for the museum
ct Lexington.
General jackson bought this horse at
Harper's Ferry, early in the war, from an
Ohio drover, paying for it 800 in gold; and
he rode it during the many battles which
have made his name immortal. At Chancsl-
lorsville he was shot on this horse, and dur
ing the confusion incident to the sad ocea-
sion 'Old Sorrel' escaped into the enemy's
line. He was recaptursd by Gen. ]. E. B.
Stuart and forwarded to Governor Letcher,
who turned him over to Mrs. Jackson.
"Old Sorrel," as he is familiarly known
by the "foot-cavalry" of Stonewall Jack
son, was in fine condition when he passed
this point, and looked as lively az . ''two-
year DID," although he is "a years Of age.
He eats corn with ease, and many of those
! Who had an opportunity to see it took charge
of the cobs to manufacture into pipes, SO
that they can say they have pipes made
from the cobs from which Stonewall Jack
sons horse ate the corn.

could stand the trip to New Orleans no
doubt on foot. His car was fixed up in q
manner most admirably adapted to his COM
fort. We wish him .'bon poyage."-

HER FIRST RAILWAY JouRNEY.-It il
related that an old lady residing far in tho
country, and having never travelled by rail-
way, thought she would like to try it. She
sits calmly upon seat placed on the great
wooden platform in the coun...:y railway
station and gazes with amazement upon
the train which arrives, pauses for q few
seconds to take on passengers, and then
proceeds upon its journey. The station
master interrogates the old lady, who sits
placidly watching the departing train.
"why did You not get on, if you wished
to go to New York;"
"Git onr' says the old lady, "Git on! l
thought this whole concern Nentp'
Having explained to her that the plat
form was stationary, the man kindly advises
her to take seat in the next train that ar
rives, which she accordingly does, by the
side of benevolent old gentleman. Clutch
ing fas hold of the seat in front of her,
she is at first very much alarmed ct the
speed at which they are going, but gradu-
ally becomes calm. The old gentleman
answers numerous inquiries very civilly,
and among other things tries to explain the
use of the telegraph wires, and tells her
that messages are sent over them at a much
greater speed than they are travelling.
sswa'al, wa'al," says the old lady, '.you
don't ketch me ridin' on 'em, for this il
as fast as want to 60 anyhow" She has
seen so many wonderful things that she
makes up her mind not to be astonished at
anything, and when the train dashes into
the ono which has preceded it, owing to =
misplaced switch, anss tho poor old lady il
thrown into the end of tho car among a
heap Of broken seats, she supposes it to b.
the ordinary manner of stopping, and qui.
etly remarks, "You fetch up rather sud.
