In Woodstock, Friday morning. Nov
End, l555, William Harrison Shul.
Mr.. Shull was born in Winchester Va.
on February 2nd, 1910, where he spent
the greater part of his early life.
At the beginning OF the late war he was
detailed TO work in the Tredegar iron
Works at Richmond, for the Confederate
government. lac remained about "A year
when he entered active service in the
twelfth regiment. He was twice captured
having been prisoner for three months
at Camp Chase in 1862, and for three
weeks at Fort NcHenry the following
year.
In April 1870, Mr. Shull removed to this
place and worked at bis trade, iron
moulding, until the election Of Mr.
Williamson for sheriff, when he was ap.
pointed a deputy and the jail was placed
in bis care. This position he filled very
acceptable, until his death.
He leaves a wife and nine children, in
Guiding two grown sons and grown
daughter. The bereaved family have the
sympathy Of the entire community.

sTRAsBURG ITEMS.

Lord Sackyille West was fired at last
by Mr.. Cleveland very Reluctantly. Tues
day, Nov. 9th, Mr.. Cleveland was fired by
a majority of the sOvereigns of this great
republic. Una vOce.
The two new residences, now nearing
completion on North Back street, erected
by Mr.. E. Zea, are msrvels of beauty, and
when fully completed will add greatly to
the appearance of that portion of our
town.
Rev. Thdrston Kester. pastor Of the
Lutheran Church In Harrisonburg, and a
former citizen of our town, preached an
able sermon in the Methodist Church In
this place, on Sunday night of last week
to very large congregation.
The potency of tie white dog hair,
stove-pipe hat, as a campaign lever in the
interest Of tho Cleveland racket, was
numbered at the close of the polls on Nov.
9th, and will soon like the Democracy,
be "gone where the wood bine twineth. J"

The pyrotechmcs lately purchased, and
now in store at the drug emporium IN this
pla CO, to be used in celebrating the cleo
ton of Cleveland, can now be bought
cheap. IT'S best not to boiler until you
are fairly out of the woods gentlemen.
The G. o. P. got there all the same, the
betting of the so ueiunks to the contrary
notwithstanding. BY the way, where is
those two vain glorious gentlemen, who
offred to bet from $500 to $1,000 OH Cleve-
land in P. Groves store, Wednesday Of
last week, and then backed out when
their proposition was accepted
"a thing of beauty is joy forever"
Certainly the American people have failed
to see it In the administration Of Cleve-
land, as witness the avalanche Of ballots
on Tuesday of last week, which has con.
signed him and his party Of broken
pledges, to that political bourne, from
which no traveller in long term of years
shall ever see their return.
The election in this town passed of
quietly, and was remarkably free from
that bitter partizan spirit which was 50
painfully prominent in the election of'e4.
Both sides worked with a will, and no
bitter personalities were INDUCED in on
either side. The Republicans of this, the
hardest fought precinct, perhaps in the
county, and probably in the district, point
with pride to their record of ballots rolled
up on Tuesday, Nov. 9th, for the cause of
protection, namely 9S for Harrison and u
for Roller. The largest simon pure Re-
publican vote ever polled here, being
gain of 8 votes on square Republican
issue. entirely free from any county or
local entanglements whatever. Some
careless Republican voter rolled two
tickets together and they were dropped in
the box in that way, consequently the
vote was thrown away and lost to our
side. Had all the other polling places IN
the county done as well as Strasburg' all
things cOnsid cred. 1t is easy to see the
victory the Republican party would have
achieved in Shenandoah county.

Winchester appears TO be contendiDg
with Woodstock for the penant in regard
to stealing. From the number of accounts
of thieving in connection with inceDdiar-
Ism and wholesale poisoning Of dogs IN
the NetCs Of Tuesday. we are inclined
to think that Woodstock will have to
take a back seat. We summerize their
pilferin rs as follows On Monday, about
four o'clock, Knzels store was discovered
to be on fire. 1t was quickly extnguish-
ed and investigation showed that the
store had been entered by burglars that
the money drawers had been robbed of
small amount Of cash and several checks,
and finally that the floor had been satu
rated with coal oil aud set on FIRE. Last
week the house of Isaac Jackson, colored /,
was entered by a thief and robbed Of be-
tween $50 and $50. The bulk of which
belongs to cOlored society Of which lie
was treasurer. A little barefooted negro,
aged posi- bly, seven years, sneaked up be-
hind Miss Katie Sheetz, as she was walk
ing along Water street recently. snatched
her pocket book from her hand and es-
capped. Rev. j. b. Ri ely's residence was
entered the other evening and pllfered by
a tibet Of whatever he could lay his hands
on. He was caught and punished. A
number of other unsuccessful attempts
arc also reported. A number Of valuable
dogs were poisoned last week, and it is
supposed that it was the work Of gang
of thieves which the Neios says are infest-
ing Winchester. We sincerely hope that
In our next ISSUE we may record the arrest
OF the Varmints.

Allen conducted the prosecution, while
Senator II. II. Riddleberger and w. X.
Alexander, Esq :, attended to the defense.
The entire sessions of Tuesday and
Wednesday were occupied in examining
the witnesses, Of whom there were about
forty. The evidence for the common

the robbery. In Groves possession most
of the stolen property was found. The
detective who had the case in charge fur
nished evidence that the accused had
registed at Harper's Ferry under an as
