Deaths.

On Friday last Arch. G. Stuart, the only
son of Hon. A. H. q. Stuart, died at the
early age of twenty seven years, of con-
sumption. He had entered manhood with
mind well equipped by education to win
distinction IN public life, and which bore
a marked likeness in Its characteristics to
that of his distinguished father. His per-
sonal traits were very attractive, and fifty
adorned a character for which the pos
SCISSOR had marked out high standard.
Feeble health had debawed him from en-
tering to any extent ID the activity of the
world, bat he had impressed all WHO knew
him with his high capabilities for public
and useful career had he lived to enter
upon it.
On Wednesday morning, Mr.. 7. H.
VirneIson, of Portsmouth, attending the
session of the Grand Lodge of Knights Of
Pythias, received telegram announcing
the death, after brief Illness, Of his
brotber-in-law. Mr.. Enoch G.. Chic, Su-
perintendent of the Seaboard & Roanoke
r. R., and also business partner of Mr.
D. J. Turner, another member Of the
Grand Lodge. Messrs. Virnelson and
Turner, both obtained leave of absence
and returned at once to Portsmouth.
Mr. Robinson Hanger, formerly of this
county. having once owned the Hundley
Mill property on Middle River, died in
Monroe county, Mo-, Feb 10th, of paraly-
sis. He was 81 years old.

everything passed off so well and smooth

Auction Sale of Thoroughbred Stock.

The largest crowd gathered last Wed
nesday at Charley Myers sale, on the old
Calbreath place, that has been brought
together by any auction sale in this county
for years. 1t was equal to camp meeting
or political barbecue. The attraction was
the registered thoroughbred Short-horn
cattle, and Cotswold Sheep to be sold. All
the registered cows and heifers were
bought by Jas p. Hawkins, Esq, at low
prices, running from $50 to $40. One Of
the bulls was knocked out to Mr. Elijah
Coiner, and enc to Mr.. VIM. Wilson. The
thoroughbred sheep were divided MP be-
tween Messrs. Alex. Mowry, W. 4. Nc
Comb and John Ed. Hamilton. Besides
the stock large quantity of farming i'm
plements and other personal property was
sold, most Of it low, but some at full
price. For Instance sleigh sold at just
two dollars more than it cost new, several
years ago. It was good day for sleighs.

A Child Left at a Hotel and Not Yet
Claimed.

A civil suit was tried in the Hastings
Court of Staunton at it's last term, in
which was brought to light little girl
who has been left at Staunton hotel and
is not yet claimed. The suit was that Of
G. r. Hatton, proprietor OF the American
Hotel, against the Adams Express Co.. 1t
appeared from the evidence of Mr.. Hatton
that just before the November election, a
gentleman and lady and their little daugh-
ter arrived at his hotel from Fredericks-
burg. They registered as J. r. Beebee
and wife and child. The man was APP
pareutly about fifty. with bald head, very
black moustaC he, prominent Roman nose,
and curly hair. The lady was niddle-aged
and had dark hair and eyes. The child was
little girl about ten years old, unusually
stout, brown hair and eyes, and high cheek
bones. Beebee was engaged in selling pol
ishing preparation called Diamond Dust.
to clean slverWare. After staying two
weeks the couple went away suddenly ,eav-
ing their hotel bill of $50 unpaid, and their
little daughter in the hotel. After they
left, two trunks came by Adams Express
from Fredericksburg, marked to -. r.
Beebee, COD, $780," Hatton, to save his
own bill of $50, the board of the child.
having increased it to that amount by
that time. attached the trunks at the Ex-,
press Office, but before the papers were
served the Agent received letter from.
Mr.. Luck, proprietor of the hotel at
Fredericksburg, reinstatlng his ''C.O.DT
claim. The court ordered the trunks to
be sold by the Express O., and Hatton to-
be paid what was left after the Express
charges and Luck's COD. had been salts
fed.
The little girl still remained at the hotel
until few weeks after Christmas. when
Mr.. Hatton, having large family of his
own. and not being able to take another
member TO it, placed her in the care OF
Mr.. J. D. Hounihan, who kindly volun-
teered TO take her, and with whom she now
is. The child is very Intelligent one and
says the couple have left her before in
towns, and then sent for her in week or
two. She says, as far as she Knows, tney
are her father and mother. The following
postal card was found in the room in the
hotel. which Beebee had occupied:

1t is impossible to understand the aban-

effort being made in nearly four months
to re cover it, and we have given the above
facts in the hope that the mystery may be
cleared up.
