We have received the catalogue of the
officers and students of Ottobine Univer-
s1ty. Ohio, for 1886. In the Freshman s
class we find the name of our young
+, townsman, Mr.. p. C. Rosenbaum. He is
a young man of talent and application,
and we have no doubt will make a record
ereditable to himself and his native place.
Yesterday evening in st. Thomas
church, Abingdon. our talented young

water, was married to Miss Mamie Belle,
the accomplished daughter of Hon. l. G.

Mrs Lindsey will reside in Bridgewater

blessings.
A good rule has been inaugurated by
nearly all of our merchants. Except on
Saturday night the stores are to close at 7
O'Clock. This will give the clerks a
chance to have little rest and recreation,
and ought not to be of any Inconvenience
to the public. In fact our citizens should
make it rule now to do all their pur-
chasing before the hour above stated 1t
can be done just as easily as not.
We learn that the s'Old Dominion Man.
ganese Mining Company" have struck a
prolific bed Of manganese on their prop.
erty near the CrimOra development. They
have been prospecting for some time past,
under the direction and surerintendency
of Mr.. Shannon, an experienced miner in
such ores. and last week, as we have been
informed, came upon large deposit of it.
The lands of the Company adjoin the Cri-
mora mines, and contain 500 or 600 acres.

losophy and Belle Lettres, the position
held by the late Rev. Dr. j. p. Strider. DIR.
Quarles will be remembered by many of
our citizens as one of the ablest of the
delegates who attended the General AS
sembly of the Presbyterian church which
met in Staunton in 1881. He is ripe
scholar, an experienced teacher and a chris
tian in the broadcast sense of the term.
We also learn that Mr.. O'Hearn, who
has been operating near Sherando, on what
is known as the Hserman property, has
succeeded in striking, in one of the
tunnels from the shaft, a rich deposit, but
that it run into the Wagner tract, which
is owned by Mr.. M. c. Davis and J. B.
White. We have not learned the probable
