A STRONG TEsTIMoNIAL.-The annual
examination of the accounts of the
County Treasurer has been made by two
experts, Messrs. j. A. Waddell and w.
A. Burnett, Their report to the Board Of
Supervisors states *
They have carefully examined the ac-
counts between James N. Mcfarland.
Treasurer, and the County of Augusta.
and herewith file detailed statements
thereof in respect to the matters referred
to them. They have verified the correct
ness of the sums charged by the Treasurer
to himself, examined every voucher for
which he has taken credit, aseertained
from original sources the delinauents to
be deducted. calculated the commission to
which the Treasurer is entitled, added up
all the columns of figures, &C., &c. In a
word, nothing has been accepted as cor
rect upon the mere statement of the treas
urer, but every item has been traced from
its source to its final result. They have
found two trivial errors-one against and
one in favor of the Treasurer. which have
been corrected. Under the circumstances
the committee deem it but just to say that
the skill and fidelity of the Treasurer and
his clerk, W. w. King, are worthy of high
cOmmendatiOn.

Judge David Fpltz died at his hom'
home near this city, yesterday morning

time, old age and its infrmities gradu-
ally wearing away the vital forces.
The deceased was one of the Oldest ani
most prominent citizens of the county

study of law. at the same time teaching
for livelihood. He began the practice OF
his profession in Bath county. and his
fine judgment, strong sense, and high
character won him success. Ten years
later he returned to Stanton, with for
tune of $4,000, the result of his own I'M

maintained it until few years ago, when
he retired from active practice to spend
the remainder of his days in the quiet of
his beautiful home near this city.

vention, one of the most important bodies
that ever assembled in Virginia. After
the war he was appointed Judge Of the
Augusta Court. and was succeeded by
Judge Shelley. In 1873. he was nominated
for Attorney General of the State by the
Republican Convention. OF robust mind.
deep conviction, student of men and
events, close and logical reasoner and
interchangeable worker. he possessed those
qualities which command success and
made the best use of them. He was
kind. indnlgent father, firm friend and
useful citizen. and his death will be greatly
regretted by our people generally. The
deceased leaves surviving him seven chill
dren Capt. A. H., Algernon, Hugh H.,
