On Wednesday OF last week A. 5. G. Nc
Cauley, a married man living near Mccall
eysvIlle, Rockingham county, was com
mitted to Jail in Harrisopburg, charged
with the Internal crime Of having repeat
eddy assaulted young girl living in his
family. The girl, Amanda j. Herring,
was apprenticed to McCauley, and is only
thirteen OF fourteen years old, and is said
to be quite pretty and rather intelligent
for one OF her opportunities. On Christ
mas eve the poor girl ran away to escape
the brutes horrible advances, and re-
NAMED hidden in the woods for three
days without a mouthful 20 eat and suffer
ing terribly from cold, her feet and arms
being so greatly injured as to be Of hut
little use, and it is with difficulty that she
can walk. Since the girls return to her
mother she has spoken freely of her suffer
ings, and says that McCauley threatened
to kill her if she revealed his conduct to
any one. II this poor unfOrtunate's fear
ful revelations prove true we hope that
no foolish or weak sentiment of pity will
prevent our Rockingham brethren from
making this human devil stretch hemp.

MT. OLIVE NEWS.


Mt. OLIVE, Va, Jan. "a, lsso'
Mr.. EDITOR Here are few items
from this section of our grand old county,
A game Of base ball was played here on
last Saturday between the MI. Indigo
school and the Mt. Olive and Saumsyille
boys combined. As the hour was late a
game OF five innings Nas agreed upon, but
as the game at the close Of the fifth stood
nine TO nine, another was played and re-
suited in victory for the Mt. Indigo
boys.
The mud walks Of this town need a new
LAYER of brick, as the mud IS nearly shoe
ton deep. Mt Olive should not fail to
keen up with her little sister town Of
Saumsyile, which has q good walk from
one end to the other. We hope to see the
citizens Of this place lend helping hand
in this cause soon.
Some Of the lads and lassies of this
town and vicinity met at Mr.. JOS. Siberts
tow evenings since, TO hear the accom-
plshed orcanist, Miss Ollie Hanen, whose
splendid playing afforded the guests
most delightful evening. Check was
especially pleased, although the ladies say
they only took him along to scare OIL the
dogs.
Rev. Gaver Of Strasburg, preached at
this place, on Sunday last, to large con-
gregation.
There will be a Literary Society organ
lied on Thursday evening, Jan. Goth, by
the young ladies and gentlemen OF MI.
Olive and vicinity.

Miss Alice Maphis has just returued
from a visit to her sister, Mrs. Frank
Slbert, Of Maurertown.
Miss Laura Hammond and Miss Ida
Baker made a flying visit to Saumsville
last Saturday. The girls say they made
a mash this time.
Mr.. Baker, our well-known merchant, is
determined to keep cool during the next
summer, he having just erected and filled

Nothing speaks better for community
than the number and elegance OF It's
churches. In this respect Woodstock can
compare most favorably with her sister
towns of the Valley. Already we can
boast six handsome new brick churches,
and a comfortable frame house OF worsh Up
belonging to the colored people. To this
number will soon be added an attractive
Catholic church on north Main street, on
the corner of Foundry street, opposite the
residence of Mr.. Jacob b. Glover. We
have not yet seen the plans which we
learn are already prepared, but are IN
formed that il will be very handsome
structure, and will be a decided improve
meut TO that part of town. We also learn
that there is strong probability OF a
United Brethren church being erected in
this place, on the lot owned by that de-
nomination, on north Muhlenberg street,
opposite the buildings Of the Foundry and
Machine works.

Mr.. Saml M.Hockman, one of our popu-
lar young men, was married, on Thursday,
Jan. 10. at the residence Of the brides
mother, to Miss Maggie L. Jennings one
Of our most beautiful and accomplished
voupe ladies. The solemn and impressive
ceremony by which two loving and loyal
hearts we're bound together for all time,
was performed by Rev. d. II. Rhodes. The
attendants were Miss Lucy Hisey and
Mr.. B. B. Bowman, Miss Laura Hickman
and Mr.. Fred. Saum, Miss Lizzie Hisey
and Mr.. G. w. jennings. The reception
sumner at the home of the fair brides
mother was an elegant and most enjoyable
affair. the numerous guests passing the
bappy hours in a way long to be remem-
hered. In the midst of all this happy
time the printers were not forgotten as
the liberal supply Of good things sent TO
this office abundantly testified. May the
bluest of skies be ever above them, and
nothing obstruct their life-path but the
sweetest flowers of summer IS the earnest
wish of the HERALD.
To show how well advertising in the
HERALD pays we will state that our young
friends of the Eureka House have been
put in the highest spirits by it, it having
already brought them leap year call
from some Of the fair ones. Unfortunately
only two Of the lads were in at the time,
and as the young ladies numbered three it
put the boys in a fix, they being too
tender to hurt the dear little hearts, and
then, too, the laws of Virginia won't al
low fellow TO marry more than ONE
However. hey think they would have re-
ceived proposals if an old widower had
not poked his head in the door just as
they were going to pop the question and
scared the dear things away. And after
they had gone to the table and the same
old fellow offered a resolution to hang the
first one who rejected a proposal, he little
thought how fervently two of them wished
him the same fate for destroying their
delicious tete.a-tete.

The second trial Of 7. A. Ridenour at
Winchester, for the murder Of Young Broy,
which has created so much interest in this
county as we'll as Frederick, was conclud-
ed on Saturday last, after long struggle
of nineteen days, by the jury bringing in
a verdict Of murder in the FIRST degree
They we're out but one hour, and during
that time took dinner, 30 that their de-
alterations we're Of the shortest. The
verdict really could have been rendered
without the jury leaving their seats in
the courtroom. Ridenour, who has borne
himself throughout the long trial with
the utmost GOODNESS, heard the verdict
that gave him lOver to the terrible and
ignominious death OF the gallows without
displaying the slightest emotion, bis
wonderful nerve never seeming TO desert
him for a moment. His faithisl old
mother. who had stood by him during
every bour of both trials, was greatly af-
fected, and broke down completely when
the solemn verdict that sounded the death
knell of her son was announced. The
prosecution was conducted with great
ability BY r. f. Byrd, the Attorney for the
Commonwealth, while the prisoner was
most ably and eloquently defended by W.
r. Alexander. As soon as the verdict was
announced motion for new trial was
made by the prisoners counsel, and argu-
ment was to be heard on this motion on
Tuesday Of this week, at which time the
Judge was to pronounce sentence upon the
unhappy man.
The Jury which was composed entirely
of citizens Of this county, was formed Of
as good material as could possibly be
found In the State, they all being men Of
sound and correct judgment, and ID per-
forming the painful duty that devolved
upon them they were actuated by The
strongest convictions of justice. Five q

1t and all close together are some six or eight beer and coffee gardens, with tables and seats under fine trees, with the fragrance of flowers filling the air, and with bands of music, military and stringed, of so good 8 character that they can satisfy the most cultivated ear. Here are accommodations for several thousands, and on afterno ons and evenings of summer days many thousands of the incest people are promenading or seated, talk ing their evening meals, listening to the fine music and watching each other. In another avenue not far off are cheap amusements of every kind light theaters, games, puppet shows, flying dutchmen-in fact, every pOssl- ble kind Of fun to be given for a few kreutzers. Here, too, are thousands of those who seek much pleasure at little cost. Here thoughtful tourist can learn vast deal of life and hu- man nature in short time and at small expense. Vienna, one would think, is all on the Prater in the late afternoon and early evening; but Vii enna is a city which claims about 1,200, 900 population and no one stays at home up to ten o'clock. The town seems to shut it's mighty jaws at ten and the streets are comparatively de- serted, and all because of the porter and his tip:
 The tip (trink-geld) is as decided a feature in this city as is backshish in the worst town in the Orient. You go into cafe; waiter brings you coffee, another bread and a paper. Each ex- poets a tip. When you are through the head-waiter comes for the pay. He expects tip. You go into res- taurant; one waiter brings you food; another your wine, a third your bread; and @ fourth collects the change. Each expects tip, and they all wear such nice full suits of black and such white cravats that it is hard to resist their polite smiles. But woe to the man who, failing to tip them, returns! I y tenacious, and the forgetful man will find it out. When he sees three or four waited upon who came after he had been seated, and sees a nice, juicy piece of roast on the next table while he is wearing his teeth away on the toughest gristle of the toughest beast that had roamed the fields, he will swear and resolve to re- sist the villainous custom; but after awhile he will do as the Viennese do pay and quarrel not. They all say it is an outrageous custom; but they shrug their shoulders and ask: "What are we to doP" Why, resistP" "Ah! sir, life is too short" Now, what has this to do with getting in early? This: Every house with its flats has its porter, and this porter closes the front door at ten, and the lodger who is then out stays out or pays the porter a half-gulden to let him in. In cheaper houses a quarter-gulden. Now 8 half gulden or a quarter-gulden is a great deal to man whose day wage is only one or two gulden, and that one or two has been left at the theater, the gar den or the cafe. Ergo, he goes home before ten.-C Carter II. Harrison, ip Hbjc11o M1iI

DIME-MUSEUM FREAKS.
What Salaries the Most Noted of Them
 Command Nowadays.


 Command Nowadays.
 A red-faced fellow with big cane and wide mouth stood in front of flaring building on the Bowery. There was fat woman whose picture, in its ample proportions, covered fully one third of the ront of the house. Snakes and impossible animals in red and blue paint hung on canvass from every window, and the man with the wide mouth and hollow throat shouted out about the wonders that were within the walls. A reporter stood wonder ingly for time, and finally ventured to ask him about the freaks he de- scribed so rapturously.
 "What do we pay for them? Well, that depends. Now, there's the great and only Miss Ellen Morgan. She's double-headed lady with two tuneful voices, and she has salary of $lOO week. Of course, the bills say we pay her $1, ,0OO every Saturday night, but that ain't quite true"
 There's Mrs. Tom Thumb-what's she but a freakp And all she got here when on the stage was $200 a week. Animal freaks are not, of course, either so costly or so attractive as human ones I dare say that the six-fo oted cat could be bou ght for $50, and that even the elephantine pig could have been purchased for $25. In this country freaks are chiefly in de- mand at the dime museums, though occasionally when a snowman finds a freak of specially horrible or start ling character, he hires hall solely for it's exhibition. Freaks of less dis tinguished peculiarity travel about and disappear twenty or thirty times a day in booths at fairs, the charge for ad- mission being generally 10 cents. The small sums mount up rapidly, and within the last month a fat lady eff -~ory opulent proportions privately confessed to me that she often earned $1OO a week for the fortunate spectators who exhibited her. Freaks command far better salaries than many people of light and ready theatrical talent. Put, then, they die soon," he added, with a sigh.-N. r. Graphic.
