NATURAL GAs-The Los Angeles Herald

says:
There should be a dozen gas wells sunk
as soon as possible inside the city limits.
There are two now west of the city line,
and many gas springs inside the city. Why
are they not utilized? The cable road can
propel It's engine from gas that is formed
beneath lis track, and is here and there
leaking out of riffs in the rocks to fly away
into the atmosphere. All this enormous
wealth should be utilized without DELAY.
Who viii open these wells OF wealth and
reduce the cost of fuel to one-half lis pres
ent price?

BEGINNING A NEW VOLUME.
THE CENTURY
FOR NOVEMBER.

THE CENTURY begins its sixteenth year
with a monthly circulation of considerably
over 100000. The great gain has been due
to the success of the War Papers, and to
the fact that the general features of the
magazine have been unusually strong dur
ing the past year. In 1856 the War Papers,
by prominent Generals on both sides, will
be continued, and there will be
SERIAL STORIES by w. ID. Howells, Mary
Hallock Foote and George W. Cable.
The November number, now ready, con-
tainS:
CHATTANOOGA by GEN. GRANT,
The third paper of Gen. Grants personal
memoirs of the war; describing, with gleat
interest, the famous battle of Chattanooga.
With it appears a full-page picture of Gen.
Grant, from photograph taken at Mt Nc
Gregor, and the reproduction of one of his
letters to DR.. Douglas.

THE CHESHIRE ACCIDENT.

There is something about the mis-
fortune which occurred on Saturday
last, 3Sept., toa clergyman Of Cheshire
which appeals strongly to the magma
ton eIlardl
within the last thirty years which was
SO purely an accident, in the strictest
sense of the word,-so completely
beyond human provision, or proven
ton, OF control /; so entirely a proof
of the presence of an incalculable eIe-
ment in human destiny. As a rule,
what is called an "ccident is either IA
painful consequence from some ne
glect or some failure of %precaution, as
in most wrecks or railway collisions
or is due to some failure of human
powers, as in death arising from a
stumble or is the result of the action
of what seem to be blind natural
forces, as when a man is struck by
lightning, swallowed by earthquake,
or crushed by IN avalanche Of snow.
The number of cases not to be as
cribed to these causes, or others like
them, is exceedingly few and this
one stands, we should imagine, almost
in a class of it's own. The Rev. W.
C. Vaughan, vicar of Tallarn Green,

Il great robbery at Turin.
DAILY Telegraph

A great robbery is reported from
Italy; and, although no lite has been
sacr iiced, the excitement caused by
the event is said to be immense. The
booty which the thief or thieves car
ried off consists..of insignia, jewels, and
articles of every kind of the greatest
value stored in the Armoury of the
Royal Palace of Turin. The treasure

Saturday driven out with his wife in
a pony carriage to pay a professional
visit to a sick parlshioner. He went
into the house IN discharge OF his
functions, leaving his vile to take care
of the pony, when a cart loaded with
corn came up the road, The pony
for some reason was frightened, and
Mrs. Vaughan, fearing that The am
NAL wonld become uncomfortable by
her, called to her husband for help.

praised according to their money
worth. There We're in this splendid
collection >wo crowns OF solid gold,
presented to King Victor Emmanuel
by the ci4ies Of Turin and Naples re-
specivcIv, and both of them have
Disappeared. No patriotic son OF lta-
ly would allow that the value of such
relics is to be estimated by any none
tary standard. Coins and challceS,
golden stirrupS, jewelled %snutfboxe~,
and enam"Iled cups, some OF them
the gifts Of brother Monarchs, are
among the articles which have been
taken in one night from the Turin
Armoury; things have gone which
were priceless for antiquity ana asso-
citation, if Tor nothing else. Merely
Judged according to the market price
Of this pIundcr, the loss is put down at
two millions Of francs, or nearly two
hundred thousand pounds. The estimate
is not remarkable whenit is mentioned
that four collars of the Order of An
nuuziata have been stolen, set with
nearly five thousand briIliants, aud
yaluelatsix hundred thousand francs
as wei as Il couple of stars, set with
Il hundred briIliants, and valued at
four hundred thousand francs. The
question, therefore, which at once
flew from mouth to mouth in Turin
after the shock of the discovery
of the crime was, How did it happen,
and who is responsible? The robbie
" took place at night. In the morn
ing the custodians of the Armoury
found some window-trames broken,
and footsteps in the garden outside;
there were stains Of blood near to the
footsteps, ana also some of the vaiu-
able objects were lying scattered about
as if dropped by the thieves in their
hurried flight. These indications
would have naturally led to the con-
%clusion that the Palace had been
broken into by burglars, or that thieves
had ensconcod themselves in some
part of the Armoury overnight, and
then had departed by means of the
window and garden. However, subse'
quent Investigations have given a dit
fercnt complexion to the affair. 1t now
seems exceedingly probable that the
whole crime was concocted and exc
cuted by somebody employed in the
building, and that the elaborate traces
of exit we're simply so many blinds
to throw the police off the track of
the real criminal. The Italian police
have arrested The custodian of the
Armoury, and this individual, accord
ing to the most recent report, has
committed suicide in his cell. Wheth-
er he was guilty or not further inqul-
~ will disclose. The reasons which
led to his being suspected are said to
be that he behaved peculiarly the
day before the robbery. He caused
the Armoury to be closed before the
usual hour, and also declared that he
had mislaid the key, If this official
were the really guilty party, there
ought to be some hope of recovering
a good many Of the stolen objects:
though it is improbable that he acted
entirely without outside accomplices.

A young man. about twenty five, travel
ing as an assistant cauvasman, with
o Brien's circus, who gives the name of
James Hurley and balls from Stanton, is
lying at the Pennsylvania Hospital in
Philadelphia with skull fractured by a
policeman's club. He is known among
his companions as "Whiskey JIM" was
arrested with stolen shawl in his posses
sion, and was trying to escape from
the officer that gave him his blow Inqui-
ry fails to find that any man from Staun ,
ton named Hurley answering TO the above
description is known here. 1t is probably
a Staunton man who has given name
not his own. Should he get we'll, he is to
be tried in Philadelphia for assaulting the
officer.

Sabbath School Excursion and Lawn
Party.

reported for the STAUNTON VINDICAToR.1
The Sabbath School of the Associate
Reformed Presbyterian Church of Timber
Ridge, had an excursion to Raphine
on the Valley R. B., on last Friday, Aug.
21st. At that place, on invitation, they
were joined by the Sabbath School Of Old
Providence church. The day. though
rather warm, was in the main propitioUs;
and the occasion proved to be one of joy
and good cheer, especially to the children.
So far as is known to the writer, there was
nothing to mar the pleasure of the occa-
SION The grounds near the depot had been
cleared off, and seats, tables, and swings
erected. At IL O'Clock a good dinner was
spread, which was partaken of by ALL
Besides lemonade and various kinds of
fruits, there were such edibleS as are
usually seen at such places. Those present
spent the morning in pleasant chltchat.
while the afternoon was spent someWhatin
the same way, with some additional games
of amusement. at O'Clock the excur-
sionists returned. Such occasions, when
properly conducted, are enjoyable and
highly beneficial. The above was of this
character.
The lawn party was held in the even
ing, beginning at 9 O'Clock and ending at
II, near Old Providence church, in grove
of native oaks. The place is most admi-
rably adapted to such party; the evening
also, most beautiful. The moon shone as
if smiling on the party. while an occa-
sional star was seen twinkling through
the green canopy of leaves and boughs
The grounds were dimly, but tastefully
lighted by japanese lanterns. which cast
a mellow but beautiful light. The scene
was like fairy land and was greatly en-
joyed by about four hundred persons,
some of whom had come twenty odd miles.
While the light was not brilliant, it was
just bright enough to make the young
ladies appear at their best, as they prone
naded in company with their escorts. At
| ten O'Clock ice cream and cake were gra-
tuitously served to all present. The order
was excellent; the people happy and the
| lawn party was decided success.

Election of Public School Teachers.


On Thursday night last, the City School
Board elected Mr.. John G. Fisher, of
AppomattoX county, Principal of the
Academy Building schools. They had
previously elected Mr.. Thos. j. Phelps, of
Franklin county, Principal of the Insti
tule schools. Both gentlemen are Vir-
ginians and teachers Of experience. Mr..
Fisher is graduate Of the Nashville
Tenn, Normal, and Mr.. Phelps is grad
uate Of tie Ohio State Normal
AS to their errors, TO which, we alluded
last week. we are able to congratulate the
Board on the fact that, though they have
irrevocabIy lost Mr.. Hutchens. an expert
enced teacher, by a mistake which we
hope never again to see repeated-that of
dropping'a teacher for offensive partizan-
ship" without giving him hearing, they
have yet complied with the requirements
of the school law, fixing strict account
ability for the schools On the Superintend-
ent. One other thing we desire to say;
while we have studiously omitted refer
ring to any of the personalities arising in
connection with the recent elections, we
cannot omit the statement, resulting
from personal enquiry into the matter,
that no charge whatever affecting the
morals, or the character as gentle
man, of any Of the candidates, was brought
at any time during the contest. The OBJ
lection to one of them was made solely
on suitability for the particular place for
which he was candidate. To those who
know him this explanation is unneces-
sary; it is to those who do not know him
that we make it.

Stanton Grain and Produce Market

Stanton Grain and Produce Market
The markets generally over the VIII ole
country show weakness that is surpris-
ing considering the conceded shortage of
the crop. Our home wheat market is the
hest in the United States, allowing for
freights and other charges, but it is lower
by several cents than our last quotations.
Milling grades are bringing 81 to SO cents.
Not much is coming in, farmers being dis
posed to hold.
Hay is eff about one dollar per ton,
Prime timothy is now $1,000 to $13 SO.
Some crops going into market lately are
of very superior quality, notably those Of

Oats are lower to sell-say q to 26 cents
for prime shelled.
