From the Times we clip the follow
ing items: "a
Sarah Spencer, (colored girl aged
nine years, was committed to jail last
week, charged with setting fire to the
Aims House in this county.
Charles Butler (white man) resid-
ing in the northwestern part of the
county, about IS miles from this
city, was committed to Jail last week
charged with an attempt to rape the

Capt. Ed. r. Smith, who has been
confined for some months by paraly-

ternoon.

On last Wednesdhy.afterno Win
chester and portion of Frederick
county were visited by storm of
hail and wind unprecedented in the
annals of our history. Wheat, fences,
trees were levelled, and the gardens
were beaten as by the hoofs of horses.
The rear portion of the residence of
Mr.. VIM. G.. Russell, Jr., was crushed
in, chimney that had stood the storms
of many years, succumbing to the
fierce winds and falling on the roof.
Last Wednesday night sad acct
dent occurred at the Opequon, about
five miles from Winchester on the
Berryville turnpike. For some days
the telephone line between Wincles-
ter and Berryville needed repairs,
and last Wednesday the Superinten-
dent, Mr.. VIM. r. Stump, with Messrs.
Yates Henkle, formerly of Baltimore,
and Henry Mayhem, of Winchester,
started in spring wagon to go along
the line. Inrcturning from Berryville,
they reached the Opequon about II
O'Clock at night, and found the creek
much swollen. Being anxious, how
ever, to reach Winchester they de-
termined to risk the dangers of cross
ing and entered the surging stream.
1t seems that as soon as they plunged
into the water it became evident that
there was no hope of crossing in
safety and the horse was cut loose
from the tangled harness by Mr.. Hen
kle who succeeded in getting to the
shore and also in aiding Mr.. Stump
to regain dry land. Mr.. Mayhem
chung to the wagon and was washed
down the creek The horse swan
ashore, and the wagon on Thursday
morning was found about half a mile
below Woods mill. Search was i'm
mediately made for Mayhew's body,
but up to ten o'clock Thursday morn
ing it had not been recovered.

Of the four Democratic Senators from
Hamilton county, Ohio, by revolu-
tionary means, all of the Democratic
Senators absented themselves from
the Senate Chamber the day the out
rage was to be committed, which left
the Senate without quorum. The
Republicans, however, were not to be
baked in that way. They went right
along with the programme of the day
and turned the four Democratic Sem
ators out and put four Republican
Senators into their places. This
gives the Republicans a majority of
both branches of the Legislature, and
will enable them to re-district the
State and commit other acts of vii
lainy.

Free Trade.

The reduction OF internal revenue
and the taking OF of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers,
as well as relieved the burden of home
manufacturers. Especially is this the
case with Green's August Flo,oSr and
Boschee German Syrup, as the reduc-
ton of thirty-siX cents per dozen, has
been added TO increase the size OF the
bottles containing these remedies,
thereby giving one-fifth more medicine
in the 70 cent size. The August Flow
er for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint,
and the German Syrup for Cough and
Lung troubles, have perhaps, the lsrg-
est sale of any medicine in the world.
The advantage OF increased size of the
bottles will be greatly appreciated by
the sick and afflicted, in every town
and village in civilized countries. Sam
pie bottles for 10 cents remain the
same size. oct 2Seow-1y.

Giles County Methodists,

There are in Giles county II
pastoral charges, including all of
the Bee Spring charge and exclud-
ing a part of Forest Grove, and
Oakland charges. In these twelve
charges there are 4,406 mem bers.
In the twelve Charges there were
only three which fell short on for
eign missions, Elkton $3.50,
Smyrna $3.50 and Lynnville $66,
making, in the county, deficiency
of 500, on an assessment of 81 ,26S
for this growing interest of the
church. Now take the fact that
$I1O special contributions were
made by two individual in the coun-
ty and Giles county Methodism
proves to have paid for foreign
missions during the past conference
year $1l MOI than they were as
sessed. Even this does not include
the work OF the woman's missiona-
ry society in Pulaski. The charges
mentioned paid as follows: Diana

BILE, on which side they would fall

reasons. The church in the coun-

these items of information with
glad hearts. Others with the blush
of shame upon their cheeks. Some

In the Tennessee conference in
other years, when meagre reports
were made from the pastoral charg-
es in this county on foreign mis-
sions a well known voice would ring
out what is the matter with
Giles?' We can answer now,ssDoc-
tor. Nothing is the matter with
Giles except that she has put on
her beautiful garments and launch
ed into the white field to bring the
world to God There is not a coun
Ly in the Tennessee conference
save the one in which you and the
Methodist milionaires live, the |
most liberal of whom went from
Giles, that has paid as much mon
