Stanton Spectator q: On last Saturday
night about 10 o'clock, the barn OF Mrs.
Martha A. Propes and sons. was discovered
TO be on fire. The barn, hay, farming i'm
plemonts, consisting Of wagon, buggy rake,
buggy, break.wagon, harness, nearly new,
millet, &c, were consumed. Owing to the
calm prevailing at the time, the dwelling
and ut-housts were saved. The origin of
the fire is unknown. Some think it tho
work Of an incendiary, while others think
it the result Of the careless use of matches

"Rover," Of the Tbginian says that "Mr
John Miller, who, has charge Of A. S. Lara's
farm near Fishcrsville, went, on Thursday
week. to drive up the herd Of cattle, when
young bull made a dash for Mr. NJ, and
struck the horse upon which he rode,
driving his horns to considerable depth
in the animals side. Mr.. 81. jumped TO
the ground and ran to a clump OF bushes
and HID. The bull returned to the horse
and in a few minutes completed the work
of destruction begun by killing the ami
NAL, which was a valuable one. The bull
is now in close quarters awaiting his fate.
Mr.. Miller made narrow escape, and his
many friends congratulate him on his

Spirit Of the Vdlley On Tuesday even
ing last Mr. Calvin Clatterbuck was on
his way to IIarrisonburg with a load Of
wood. He had with him a colored boy by
the hame Of Charles Peale, who we sup
pose was in his employ. At point on oil
near Boss' Ridge, near the Rockingham
Turnpike. about six miles from this point
the wagon, which was heavily loaded will
wood, was upset throwing both Chatter
buck aud the colored boy violently to the
ground. Clatterbuck escaped with but
few injuries, though We learn he WAS bad
ly stunned and shaken up. The coloreC
boy, not 50 fortunate, fell immediately
under the whole load Of wood and was in
stantly killed. He was mashed from head
to foot in horrible manner. His remain
were taken TO his mothers who lives IL
that vicinity. 1t is thought Mr.. Chatter
buck was driving aud the boy, who WA
about eighteen years OF age, was doing thu
checking, when the wagon ran into I
wash ana upset with the serious result al
stated. .... On Wednesday morning, Tho
first day Of September, gentleman Of thi
town desiring to take the morning traiI
for Stanton, got to the depot after Thu
train had arrived from the North, bnf
seven or eight minutes before the trair
left for StauntOn. He went INTO the 70
cepton room and waited a minute OF two
TO see il the agent would open the window
and let him have ticket, but as thu
agent did not appear and the window WA
shut down, he stepped out again upon thu
platform, where he saw the ticket agen
helping TO unload the express car. III
waited few moments longer, and theT
asked tho agent if he could get a ticket
To this polite request the agent replied II
a very brusk manner that the ticket Office
was closed. The gentleman then walket
into tho car, where he waited some four Of
five minutes yet before the train started
These discourteons acts are not at al
pleasant, and certainly do not serve Il
make the Is. & o. X. II. any more popu
