An Abundant Supply of Raw Material for
the Minneapolis Saw-Mills.
The logs were coming fast enough re-
Gently to suit the most exacting millman.
All the pockets at Minneapolis were being
filled up and all the storage capacity was
being used. With one exception all the
mills had an abundant supply, and none
were fearing famine. Deputy Boom
master Buckley expects that he would get
out Of the boom in a short time something
like five hundred million feet of logs. He
said that the mills were saving faster
than they had ever before done at this
season, and were taking care of the logs as
fast as he turned them over. Logs were
running in the booms little faster than
they were being turned out by the crew,
which vas working ten hours a day.

A CHICAGO BANK FAILS.

The Illness and Expected Demise Of Pres-
ident Rutter, of the Traders Bank, Causes
That Institution to Close It's Doors.
CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-The Traders Bank one
of the old financial institutions of Chicago,
failed yesterday, and its president Joseph
o. Rutter, IS lying at his home, s91 Su
perior street, at the point of death. The ex

one Of the principal causes contributing te
the suspension of the banks business. The
nominal assets of the concern are said te
be <9e9, 3s6. 90, while the actual liabilities
will, it is believed, reach at least 500, 900
and there are other obligations which will
swell the total to almost as great a figure
as is given for the assets.

MAYVHLE, N. Y, Dec. 2, 1885,
I am glad to say, from long personal ex-
perience with ALLCoCK's Porous PLAsTERs,
that am able to endorse all the good things
that haveever been said about them, and
supplement these by saying that frankly
peneve their value can not be estimated.
Their breadth of usefulness is unlimited,
and for prompt and sure relief to almost
every ache and pain that flesh is heir to,
no other remedy, in my opinion, either ex-
ternal or internal, equals them in certainty
and rapidity. Ihave used them at one time
for rheumatism, another for backache,
again for bronchitis, always with the same
result-aspeedy cure.

A Valuable Trunk.

Samuel Schooner, living near Byron,

money and over ZOO in notes. His family
were away and he was at the barn when
some person entered the house and took q
trunk containing the valuabes into a

armed with a club, which he left in the
house. 1t was fortunate for the old gentle
man, who is over eighty years of age, that
he was not in the house, for the miscreant
evidently meant to carry out his design at
all hazards. No clue had been obtained to
the perpetrator.

RAIN ON THE ROOF.

When the humid shadows hover
Over all the starry spheres,
And the melancholy darkness
Gently weeps in rainy tears.
What bliss to press the pillow
Ola cottage-e ham Der bed,
And listen to the pa tier
Ofthe soft rain overhead.
Every tinkle on the shingles
Has an echo in my heart;
And q thousand dreamy fancies
Into busy being start,
And q thousand recolleations
Weave their air threads into woof
AS listen to the patter
Ofthe rain upon the roof.
Now in memory comes my mother,
AS she used in years agone. i,
TO regard the darling dreamers
Ere she left them TIL the dawn.
o, feel her fond look on me,
As list to this refrain,
Which is played upon the shingles
By the patter of the rain.
Then my little seraph sister,
With the wings and waving hair.
And her star-eyed churub brother
A serene, angelic pair.
Glide around my wakeful pillow,
With their praise of mild reproof,
AS I listen to the murmup
OF the soft rain on the root.
And another comes to thrill me
With her eyes delicious blue;
And mind not musing on her
That her heart was all untrue;
/ remember but to love her
With passion kin to pain,
And my hearts quick pulses culver
To the patter of the rain.
Art hath naught of tone or cadence
That can work with such spell
In the souls mysterious fountains,
Whence the tears ofrapture well,
AS that melody Of nature,
That subdued, subduing strain,
Which is playeq upon the shingles
Rythe natter of the rain

Reported for the VIRGINIAN.
Perhaps it will be Interesting to the
readers of the VIRGINIAN, to hear once
more from this section of The country. AS
we have not written for some time it
would not be imprudent to give our local
ity. This section includes BurktoWn,
Rockland Mills, Mt. Meridian, Craig's
Shop. Middle River Mills and Weyers
Cave depot and occasionally Mt. Sidney.
This is boundary enciro.ing as fine a
portion Of country as one would Wish to
live in. The people are m'de up of the
honest yeOmanry so essential 10 the de-
velopment of any country. There are ito
section, but the high state of Improve
ment; the advancement in the way of
utilizing ways and means Of obtaining
maximum productions testify to the fact
that agriculture with these hardy people
is not a vain endeavOr. The amount of
wheat, corn and hay produced in this dis
trict is truly enormous. This is further
evidenced by the great number of barns,
haysheds and granaries. Weyer's Cave
Depot is the best shipping point between
Harrisonburg and Stanton. This is owing
to the fact that it is situated i'll this fine
section with good roads leading to it and
occupying a middle position on this part
of the B. & 0. road. Two large stores are
doing good and safe business. OAe by
Messrs. Wine & Funkhouser, the other by
Mr.. J. B. Kagey, who is also depot agent
and postmaster.
There is also telegraph office estab-
lished here, operated bysMr. Lindamood :
Our section is represented religiously by
twelve active ministers and boasts of a
more than ordinary sprinklng of churches
and school houses. Rev.. Samuel Sanger,
of Bridgewater, preached a series of ser
mons at the Valley TINKER church during
the holidays, which was treat indeed to
those who hunger and thirst after right
eousness. Last week he went to Roanoke
on the same mission. Rev. H. G. Early,
of the G. B. Church, is now visiting the
brethren in Maryland, streng hening and
confirming them IN the most holy faith.
We can also boast of the fact that we
have a personal representative in the
General Assembly to look to our interests
as farmers. Hon. John H. Crawford lives
in our midst and possesses one of the finest
farms Oh Middle River Hon. John is a
model farmer. We hope we may be able
| to say the same of him as representa-
| tive. More anon. NAMRAH.
