TIE MARVEL WIND ENGINE.-One Of
the most useful inventions ever made is
the Wind Engine manufactured by B. S.
Williams & Co., of Michigan. Our enter
prising county-man, MI. G. S. Myers, has
accepted the general sales-agency for this
section. and by SO doing has conferred q
favor on the farming community and stock
men. There is scarcely a farm in the Val
ley that has not upon it running water at
some point, or q never failing well. In
many instances, however, the springs bGb-
BILE out from the foot of the hills upon
which the dwellings, are located OF the
wells are too deep to use a.sucker, and the
tiresome process of elevation by the wind
lass is about as hard task as one wishes
to perform. All of this labor and trouble
can now be obviated, and running water
not only be brought to the kitchen door,
but introduced through the house and
wherever it may be desired. And that,
too, at a comparatively small cost. For
an average price of $500, the engine is put
in operation by the workmen of the Com
pany. everything being furnished by them,
and the entire job put in running order and
guaranteed. The experience of one of the
best known farmers of the Valley, Mr..
Geo. w. Rosenberger, Of New Market, is
worth being made public. 1t shows the
practical workings of this invention, and
what a convenience and Saving it is. Mr..
Rosenberger says:
.'My spring is.situated at the base Of
hill, about 40 feet below the level of my
house The water is conveyed up this hill
in the first place, to my house, and into
the kitchen, where | have Il sink arranged
with waste pipe, so that all the water
wanted for cooking and other household
purposes is delivered at this sink, while
the waste water is conveyed from there to
a trough in an orchard about thirty yards
distant, for the use of q lot of hogs. This
arrangement alone is worth the cost Of the
mill but this is not all. The water is con-
veyed from the house to hydrant in my
garden. from which can water as much
of the garden as | desire. thus making q
perfect success Of raising cucumbers, cell
ery. caulifloWer. and other vegetables re-
curing u regular, wet season for their
successful cultivation. From the garden
the water is conveyed to the poultry yard, |
and from there to the stable yard, and |
then to my barn, into water troughs which |
never run over to make mud, and are kept |
continually full without any attention
whatever, furnishing q constant supply of !
fresh water for fifty head of cattle and ten |
head of horses. | would not be without |

The sef-regulating feature is one Of the
principal advantages Of the Marvel en- |
CINE. BY an arrangement Of its gearing
no harm need be feared from storms as it |
is governed altogether automatically, and I
adjusts itself to the varying winds. This |
machine is boon to our farmers and they |
should carefully examine its merits. Mr..
C. F. Myers, Staunton, will give any in
formation desired concerning 1t.
AssAULT.-LastM Monday morning, Capt. |
J. G. Marquis of the City Council,was as
saulted by Mr.. Jno. r. Kurt, Oyerseer of
the Poor AS the Captain was walking
down the street, KurtZ struck at him with
a Ratchet and was drawing back to aim a
second blow, when Policeman Waters
feled the assalant with his baton and re-
moved him to jail.
From domestic troubles, Cinthy (as MI
Kurtz has been familiarly called for years.
was laboring under intense mental excite
ment, and imagined that Capt. Marquis
had wroDged him, a fancy that had no
foundation in fact, and which none now
more fully admit than the assailanJ. In
yesterday with a VIRGINIAN
he stated that both Capt.
Marquis and his wife had been among his
best friends, and that no one could more |
deeply regret the occurrence than himself |
