nIILLBORO SPRINGS,
TRANSIENT.

MILLBoRo SPRINGS, Aug. Ill shall
presume little upon your space as think
it will be of some interest to those of your
patrons who are wondering where to spend
their summer vacation, to know that the
Millboro Springs is one of the most de-
reached from Millboro depot, over a
splendid road. through as pretty mountain
scenery as you could possibly imagine. in
twenty minutes, and is under the exclu-
sive manag cement of that world-renowned
springs manager. Mr.. J. N. Woodward,
whose naeflu here fully sustains his envia-
BILE reputation. We have a charming
company here composed of about sixty
people, and it really seems like one large
family, every one striving to make the
others happy. 1t is composed of represen-
tatives from all sections of the country,
viz: Brooklyn. Baltimore. Memphis,
Omaha, Richmond, Ashland, Staunton,
and other places.
We while away, during the day, our
leisure hours with driving over these fine
roads, rolling ten pins, strolling, &c, our
evenings are filled up with music, cards,
&c. Then too the little God Cupid is here
with his bow and culver, and quite busy,
and if one may be allowed to judge from
the external apprenticeship may expect to
hear further from some of his arrows this
fall.
Last, but not least, the knights of the
rod may here find the finest kind of
sport. The river is in fifteen minutes
walk, and literally filled with black bass,
of which quite number have been
caught. Master Geo. Hutcheson of your
city. caught the largest of the season this
morning, its actual weight being two
pounds. There were also eleven others
caught by gentleman and his son at the
same time, which weighed eight pounds.
In the afternoons there is fine sport shoot
ing bats, which are quite numerous here
A great charm Of the section is that
everybody with the rarest exception wear
the bandana colors, and say that when the

Narrow Eecape.

On Wednesday morning, as buggy con-
tanning the mother of Mr.. Lew D. MyerlY,
and Miss Bosserman, was crossing the
Valley Railroad at the first crossing on
grade South OF the depot, (across the old
Greenville road), its rear wheel was struck
by the incoming passenger train. Mrs.
Myerly and her companion were thrown
out but escaped with few bruises. Their
escape from death was a narrow one. This
Is one of the most dangerous crossings in
the county, from the fact that the ap-
preaching train cannot be seen. The
county authorities ought to take steps to
force the company to make an overhead
bridge there.

STAUNToN. VA, August 10th. !
Wheat is without quotable change since our
last report. Millers and shippers are both
buying now as fast as it is offered and are
paying full prices. The markets in the other
cities remain steady with frequent slight fuc-
tuations, but no material changes
Corn and oats are firm, there being quite an
active demand for both. The oat crop is
threshing out very satisfactorily. The grand
prospect for the growing crop of corn of
course does not yet affect the value of old
corn.
Hay is being rapidly baled and hurried in
to market. Some of the hay press men made
the mistake of commencing business too early,
and as a result, some of the crops first baled
heated and were SO badly damaged that it had
to be sold at comparatively low prices. There
have been about dozen new presses started
in the county this season and from the way
the work is being done it looks as if the crop
will be all baled before frost. !
TIL, scent of fertilizer is now in the air.
Dealers report an unusually good beginning

Dedication of a Churc b.

The just-fnished Presbyterian church,
near Hermitage, five miles North Of
Waynesboro, was dedicated on Sunday
last. No services were held at the Thinking
Spring or Waynesboro churches. and their
congregations gathered at the dedication,
making, with the Lutheran and Thinker
visitors present, an assemblage of about
800 persons. AS the new building could
not accommodate the crowd, the preaching
was done at the window, so that the out
side and inside gatherings both, could
hear. The singing was led by the Thinking
Spring choir. The dedicatory services in
the morning were conducted by Rev. Jno.
A. Preston of Thinking Spring and Rev.
A. r. Cooke of Waynesboro. the latter
preaching the sermon. There was SIG
still due On the building, and collection
was taken up at which not only was this
amount contributed, but enough more to
fence in the church. After the morning
services. the full baskets of the people,
which they had brought with them, were
opened to the general public with pressing
hospitality for dinner, and every one pres
ent Jared excellently. In the afternoon,
Rev. Mr.. Sherrer of Lebanon church, in
Albemarle, preached. At the conclusion
of his sermon, Rev. J. A. Preston said,
that though there had been a good piece
of collecting done already, he felt that
they were not near through with it. But
the collection now 20 be taken was not
money and no earthly collector could take
it. 1t was the collection of souls and could
only be done by the divine hand of Christ.
He asked all, upon this, the defeating Of
the church to the worship of God, to dedl-
cate their hearts anew to Christ.
Rev. DR.. G. b. Stricken of Atlanta,
Ga, the former pastor of Thinking Spring,
who was to have preached the dedicatory
sermon. was detained by sickness at the
Rockbridge Baths, and many of his old
congregation who expected to meet and
greet their former pastor, were greatly
disappointed in not seeing him.
