DEAR HERALD:
Forestville is again called
to mourn the loss Of one Of her noblest
young men, in the person Of Geo. T.
Zirkle. who fell victim to that terrible
DESTROYER of human life, typhoid fever, on
Saturday morning last, after an Illness OF
not more than 10 days.
Mr.. Zrkle's age was about y years !;
robust and healthy his entire life time mp
TO his recent fatal illness. Tie was indus
trious and was the pride Of n fond father
brothers and sisters. He was brother OF
Deputy Sheriff, J. Milton Zrkle. who
recently lost bright son of 10 years by
the same disease.
Forestville and vicinity has lost in the
last six months from fever and diphtherla
10 or - of the most promising youths and
Young men. among the list we find the
lamented DIR. Carter. also three children
of Mr.. j. w. Zirkle.
There are at present quite number OF
cases of fever, some Of which, We are sorry
to say, are very severe with but LITTLE
hopes of recovery.
There has been not less than % cases o.
fever in the vicinity OF Forestville during
the fall and winter, and at present Their
is no reason to believe that the epidemic
has in any degree abated.
Surely Forestville should have thu
sympathy of the entire county in this sa'
aflliction. J. L. w.

The public are hereby informed that en-

diseases has been recently established
At woods rock, a.,
to meet long and pressing need Of this
great Valley, which contains over 2OO,oOO
inhabitants, but without a single hospital
for the treatment Of female diseases. The
building is large and commodious with
suitable arrangements, while the extensive
experience both in this country and in the
great hospitals OF Europe, Of the surgeon
in charge, should command the largest
public confidence in his fitness for this
special work, and the good to flow out OF
this institution.
5The charges are moderate aud very
much less than for similar services in the
Northern cities.
l-VThe public are cordially invited to
inspect the arrangements for the comfort
of the patients, while everything will be
done for their speedy restoration TO health.
All surgical operations will ne charged for
at minimum prices, but which, Of course,
will bear relation to the gravity Of the
case. accommodation will receive
prompt attention.

The Harrisonburg correspondent Of the
Richmond Dispatch of Jan. 4th says:
''The BALTIC. and Ohio railrosd have been
prospecting for some time for an available
place in the Upper Valley at which to
locate its machine shops for the use Of the
Valley branch of that road, the nearest
shops to this point being those at Sandy
Hook, lO1 miles, and at Martinsburg, w.
Va, l1S miles. Our Town Council receiv-
ed assurance from a gentleman closely
connected with the company that it was
faYorably disposed toward the selection of
Harrisonburg, meeting Of the council
was held and a committee OF five appoint
ed to confer with the railroad officials
and ascertain what concessions would be
required from the corporation to induce
the company to locate these shops at
Harrisonburg.
