"A We'll R ept Life Record.

Burton Emmons, well-known and highly respectable citizen of Detroit, d ,.l at his residence on Jefferson ave nue, in that city, Jan. l2. Mir Emmons was born in Canaan, Conn.,, 67 y aars ago last October, and his youth and early manhood were passed in the east. He was for time in the mercantile bus mess at Sheffield, Mass, and afterwards in the lumber trade at Waterford, N. Y. For the last 20 years he has been con- nected with the Detroit 6 Lake Supe- rior Iron works. In his business meth ods he was scrupulous and exact, and his ideas of honesty rested upon much higher principle than that honesty is the best policy. He was honest because he was just and believed in carrying the golden rule into business transactions. He left widow and one child, the lat ter, Mrs Robert G. Fitch, of Boston. His remains were brought to East Ca naan and buried in the cemetery at that place. e.-Be1'kShire Courier.

A Letter from Michigan

Each week when the Connecticut Western NEWS" comes to hand the writ CT hereof resolves to drop you a few lines. to let you know how we are all getting along in southwestern Michigan, but the resolve not being acted upon at once, you have been neglected from time to time until now, when it is determin- ed to take up the pencil at once and de- lay no longer.
 The weather here was mild until the middle of December, when change came, and we had our first snow storm, the snow falli g to the depth of IS inch es, laying perfectly quiet as it fell, mak- ing excellent sleighing for a few days, when it all melted away, and we had bare ground and mild weather for few days, when another snow storm, a reg ular blizzard, and now we have good sleighing again with two feet of snow, and severe cold weather, the mercury below zero every day, and one or two mornings as low as 20 degrees below.
 The sleighing makes business lively the city is crowded with teams and trade is brisk.

The Opera House.

The opening Of the Opera House Mon
day night made good all the praise that has
been bestowed on the Council Committee
in charge of the improvement. 10 state
simple fact, on the authority OF an expert,
Mr.. Fred. Berger, who is a professional
and has been in all the theatres OF the
Union, it is the handsomest house IN Inc
South and the equal of any OF It's SIZE IN
the North or w est. The acoustics are
perfect, the ornamehtatlon in good taste.
the scenery well chosen and executed, and,
in short, there is nothing left undone- we
tender Mr.. Purvlance Tams, chairman. +.
B. Berkeley and John lesser, who cotnpos'
the Council Committee. the thanks
of the amusemsnJ lovers of Staunton. noG
only for the taste displayed, but for the
pluck they showed in pursuing their good
work to a successful end in spite OF the
annoyances presented by an army of petty
croakers. The agent for the house IN New
York who has been secured, is FL. =.
Taylor, man of admirable judgment and
energy. The new house is already playing
the part Of an advertisement for Staun-
ton. The Charlottesville Jefersonddn says:
We commend the enterprise and PLUCK
of the S5auntonians. Until our Ipwn Hall
Barn be remode!ed and fitted up'so that a
respectable troup can play there, our
pleasuEe-loving people will have to depend
upon and visit Stanton for first class
operas and theatrical performances. But
if Staunton can do this much, why may
not we also ?

Capt. VIM. M. Tredway. Jr., of Chat
and successful conductor of the Chatham
Tribune until his illness, died in the W. L.
Asylum here on Sunday last. He had been
lawyer of marked ability and Chairman
of the Democratic Executive Committee
of his county. His physical health failed
and with it his mind became involved,
and lately he was brought to Staunton
with the hope that both would be restored.
During the civil war he was a captain in
the SD Va. infantry. His remains were
taken to Chatham for interment.
Mr.. James Robinson Erwin. formerly
Of this county, the father-in-law of
Mr.. VIM. M. McAllister of Bath county,
died at the residence of that gentleman,
on the 9th inst. He was an Elder in the
Warm Springs Presbyterian church.
Adam McChesney, young man, doubt
less the wealthest of his age in Augusta,
was buried at Thinking spring church on
Monday last. He was only twenty-five.
Mr.. James F. Patterson, a native of
Augusta county. but who had for several
years resided in Salem, Roanoke. died
there last Friday, at the age Of seventy
nine.

citizen of Rockingham, died on Tuesday
night last, in his nth year. His wife, a
sister of Robert S. Harnsberger, Esq, of

! death says, he was "a magnificent type OF
| the Old Virginia Gentleman whose hos
pitality has been bounHess and his friends
/ almost numberless."

head nm the Track.

On Friday afternoon HI. AID. Wethers,
a married man with, wife and several
children, left Timber Ridge station on the
Valley r. r., in company with two other
men as intoxicated as himself, and with
one OF whom be had had fight. Later
in the afternoon. near that station, the
engineer of the Lexington bound passen-
ger train saw man lying on the track
ahead. Every effort was made to stop the
train, but it could not be done until it had
passed over the man. 1t was Wethers.
An arm was cut off and the body cut in
Ewo, and the chest and head left on the
road bed. There was not as much blood
as should have flowed from such an acct
dent to living man, which aroused the
suspicion that the body was dead when it
was put on the track. The train was
backed to stave mill where two sons of
Wethers were at work, and they were
brought to the spot and took charge of the
mutllated remains.
Nh Chas. Beasley, formerly of Staun-
con, was killed in Richmond last week,
by falling from an engine of the Rich-
mond & Allegheny R. B., on which he
was riding to the upper part of the City
from his work which was down town.

The State has never had dealings with
more liberal or more honorable cOmpa-

need no better assurance that the relations
between the new firm and the State will
be- agreeable than the election of Col

Two Deaths.

Some months ago, on the 2Sth of Sep
TENDER, Samuel Breden with other work
men then employed at the Grim ora Man
ganese Works in Augusta, boarded the
Shenandoah Valley train and went down
to the village of Port Republic to have
"a time.'' They were very turbulent and
one incident of the visit was that VIM.
Bailey, citizen of the place. who was
being stoned, shot Breden with shot
gun in the side. For many months Bre-
den fingered and on April 9Th, died. Five
days before he died, on April 1st, Bailey.
who shot him, was taken suddenly ill, and
after great suffering died On the 9Th inst.
Bailey had been previously examined on
the charge of shooting Breden and dis
charged by the examining magistrate.

The Changes in Life.

Thirteen years ago the present Cover
nor of New 7 ork, Gov. Hill-the old
bachelor chum of President Cleveland,
who was Lt.-Governor and became Cover
nor when Cleveland was elected President,
made d speech in Staunton. which doubt
less our readers have long since forgotten.
It was on the occasion of the visit of the
New Y DIRK Editorial Association to Staun-
and at the close of a superb recitation at
the Virginia Female Institute, by Miss
Santini. MI. Hill desired to express his
appreciation of it, and W. Ill. IL. Lynn,
Esq. introduced him to the audience for
that purpose. Curiously enough, the year
after, when the Southern Editorial Asso-
citation, of which Mr.. Lynn was President,
went North in charge of Major Nelson
Hotchkiss, Mr.. Hill delivered the recep-
tion speech at Buffalo and Mr.. Lynn re-
piled to it. These two meetings brought
about pleasant acquaintance between
the two gentlemen named, which has last
ed unlnterruptedly for many years.

$40 Gone.

Two miles this side of Vesuvius, Tues
day evening, freight train on the Shen--
andoah Valley r. B., ran into lot of
Holm W. Fauver's stock cattle, huddled
in a cut, killing four and wounding four.
-Four cars were smashed. The cattle wer e
appraised at $l40. the wrecked cars are
sWorth many times more. The new rail-
road fence law of Virginia, which went
into effect last month, provides that where
the roads do not fence their track, the
cattle owner shall Lot be called on to
prove culpable negligence. The company
pays anyhow.
