PASS EN- BY.-Last Tuesday night, Ar
thur Loves Uncle Daniel Perkins" Mu-
steal Comedy Co. gave one of their 'tchaste
and charming" entertainments in the OPP
era House to an audience which, while
not very large, was thoroughly apprecia-
tive. In fact the curtain hadn't been up
five minutes before they realized that they
had been badly sold, and for two hours
longer those who had the fortitude to en-
dure the affliction grimly smiled and looked
sheepishly at their neighbors. The re-
deeming part of the performance was the
absurdity of such set starting out on the
road by themselves. Staunton has had
many theatrical sells. but none were quite
as bad as that of Tuesday night. Let our
neighboring towns take warning and greet
the Lovely crowd with an array Of
empty benches wherever they may appear

A Card.

Mr.. Editor e. The subject of Middle
River District School Trustee as discussed
i'll such personal way through the VIR-
GINIAN by my old friend, Sam. Woods,
and being myself styled as one of big
6. feel it incumbent upon me to ask.
what is the matter with my old friend
Is it because ace. or I, have had the manli-
ness to express our condemnation of the
ROLLER Ring" Orhave you just learned
we are on the side OF the people against
you 4? Or is it because we said you were
y pugilistic teacher of two years growth,
having disgraced the profession by fight
in both schools you have taught. and that
you had no business to NEEDLE with nor
send TO Mt. Sidney school, as you lived
closer to TWO others Or. Sam, is it
because we said MI. Richard, because of
his social standing, wouldn't notice you,
and any writing yoa would sign was re-
piled to so far as he is concerned that YOU
see fit to sling your ink so recklessly? Or
are you mad with your best friends because
the people who signed a petition for Mr..
Bowman have since signed A. L. Groom S
paper, thus denying you as d representa-
tive, and sanctioning the action of the
Board of Commissioners Or is it because
threefourths of those present, when you
say Mr.. Richard remarked he ''could have
gotten such petition for Lou Bell, y have
signed a statement that it is false, as also
concerning Lutheran church and corpora
ton? Or perhaps you have seen the card
from Mr.. g. A. Pace, exposing the trick
| cry used in getting his name on the Bow
man petition, as well as others Or are
you mad because your trick didn't work :?
| Ii SO, don't get mad at me, but take a
friends advice, Sam, and learn three
things: LIST, Vinegar won't catch flies :
! End, large majorities always bury small
| minorities head downward, the more they
kick the deeper they go; Sd, we should
never fiatter ourselves that we will be
noticed on all occasions. BY observing
these three rules | willregain your friend
ship and you won't be snubbed

THE,MARKEFs.

The markets to-day reflect the effect of the
pacific foreign news. Since our last issue
Wheat has fallen four cents per bushel. and If
the negotiations now pending between Russia
and England result in reaching O settlement
without resort to armed force-as the indica-
lions now point-we may look for a still more
pronounced decline. Pending the arbitration
both Powers are continuing their preparations,
and it is due this unsettled state ofafaifs that
pr ,sent prices are maintained. AS we stated
last week, the future condition of the market
depends upon the final result of the European
complications. In case of war we may look
for a material advance. Otherwise the decline
which has already commenced Will continue.
Quotations yesterday were as follows: Flour,
Family 81 so; Extra 81 Is; Super So rs; Wheat SO
to 9S; Corn 80: Oats 40; Hay SIT to 49, and
scarce There is a brisk and steady demand for
hay and the highest figures quoted can readily
be obtained for good quality
Wheat was quoted in Baltimore yestelday at
81 10 to 81 u; Richmond 81 90 to 81 10.

use my influence against the teacher be-
fore referred to, after first binding me up
not to get mad at the proposition he was
about to make. In both of these cases !

closing this article, l would respectfully
refer to VIM. A. Hanger and Benz. j.
Craig, trustees of M. r. Dist. Board-men1

CATTLE MARKET.
MONDAY, May 4. 1885.
AT CALVERToN YARDS.


BEEF CATTLE-The market was not active
to-day: efforts to advance prices were partial
ly successful, and as result an Improvement
considering quality of 10 to l211 cents per 100
lbs was effected. The quality was of much
better average than for some time past. A
superior bunch of Washington county fed Cat
tie were sold on private terms, said at much
above ourthighest quotations. We quote the
range at 8 25aS5 so, with most sales at 75a$5 70
per 100 lbs.
Prices of Beef Cattle ranged as follows: Best
S 50aS5 80: that generally rated first quality
S OOaS5 50 ; medium, or good fair quality 00a
81 rs; ordinary thin Steers, oxen and Cows %
ass rs. Extreme range of prices 25a$5 50.
Total sales for the week 500 head against S37
last week.

ginia, 90 from Kentucky 90 from New York, 325
from Illinois, 2S1 head from Maryland 10 from
West Virginia. 900 from Ohio, and 495 from
Pennsylvania.
SWINE.-There is small increase in the re-
ceipts over last weeks offerings, and the quail
lty is fully good as it was then. Trade is fair
to good, the supply being about equal to the de-
cts per Id net, and the better grades at 614a65s
cents. Receipts this week 4etl head against 1906
last week.
SHEEP AND E4AAIBS.-There is quite q good
trade for good Sheep and Lambs but common
stock of any kind is exceedingly dull; not
wanted at any price. The quality does not
average as good as that of last weeks offerings.
We quote wool Sheep at 3a519 cents: clipped do.
at 2a5% cents; Spring Lambs Sail cents; Fall
do .51aa6 cents per Id gross. Receipts this week
- head against 2245 last week.

successful. campaign of two weeks in the

audience in Armory Hall, giving an inter

in Augusta county, and exhorting the
temperance people of Staunton to move
steadily on in the good work until the
great end aimed at shall have been accom-

no temperance lecturer who has ever Wis

counties. In this county he has instituted
Good Templar Lodges at Churchville,
Middlebrcok, Greenville, Mt. Sidney and
New Hope, and will return on the Goth,
after canvass of Rockbridge, and organ
ize one in Waynesboro. Maj. Holden has
made many friends in Staunton, and
should he visit us again, we can assure him
a cordial welcome from all classes OF oul
citizens
