CALLED SESSION OF LEXINGTON PRESBY-

Rev. Alfred Jones, of Rockbridge, Moderator
The Presbyterian church at Wytheyille in
the Montgomery Presbytery sent up call for
the pastoral services of the Rev. F. j. Brooke,

Rev. S. r. Preston, Principal of the Plumer
Memorial Female Institute at Wytheviile and
| the former pastor of the church at that place.
and Mr.. d. A st. Clair appeared as commits
sionels urging That the csll be plscsd in the
| hapos of Mr.. Brooke. This the Presbytery de-
clfned Mr.. Brooke is minister of extensive
| influence in West Virginia, and withdrawal
of him from that Fl ED would be detrimental to
the immediate interests of the church as well
as retard the plans of the Presbytery for the
enlargement of the den omination in that re.
gion. This view was strengthened by repre-
lsentatives OF the Clarksburg church who were
also present to adviie against the remov al OF

Staunton Markets.


stanton. Va, Mar. 9th. 1883.
Monday was County Court day and brought
in a fair quota of people, but nothing like the
number which would have been present had
the weather been favorable. 1t was cold
rainy, harsh day.
A horse-market drawing sellers and buyers
in much larger numbers than was until lately
the case, is now monthly feature of our trade
which has already reached good-sizsd proper
tons and is destined to become one of superior
interest. Court-day is the customary, and be-
comes the formally established time for the
operations on'Change or the Bazaar as the trade
shall determine to style the busy scene around
Thornburg's big Barn, :" along "Spripg Lane"
and at Burkes and Harman's livery establish
ments. A registry would facilitate enquiries
and bring sellers and buyers quicker together
as well as furnish correct Information of the
amount and value of the trade
The sales were fully one hundred, running
from $780, to few at $780, apiece The offer
ings were larger, a few being left over as not
suitable to the demand.
The buyers were principally from Washing
ton and Baltimore, and few from The irteri-
Or of May land. The city buyers are In the
ice trade principally; few however, we're
wanted for street ratrnnds The-Iargest num-
Der bought Will go 49, the market at Washing G.
ton.
TIE exhibit was tishiy or ditab'e, and would
have been larger had the day been favorable.
Il added to the evident prs ess Augusta farm
ers are making in i,opcovins their horses as
they are also doing in rearing other kinds OF
live stock. and especially in that respect to
be commended.
With the horses FIR sale there were other
| special interest. In noting this feature full
| justice may not be done for the want of q
| registry to which reporter or enquirer can
| have access.
| It having been announced that Messrs. ater.
retts and Tnomp son, of Lexington. would have
on exhibition their imported French Stallion
| "Fleuron." the promise was fulfilled, and g
constant stream of people, during the entire
day, paid their respects to him at his quarters
at Burke stables. He is sorrel of good size
| and faultless form-that is about, in q word
what was said of him. His owners speak 0
him further in the SPECTATOR through its ad
vertising department.
| MIR. Charles ightner had two or more fint
Stations at Thornburg's. They attracted
much attention.
| The grain and hay-trade is without any
special iuterest-indeed may be classsd as dull
| Wheat has further declined.
There are no changes to note in wholesale
grocery lines.
Butter and eggs are in demand and quota
lions for both are advanced.
THE quotations are wholesale. notretaa.
