The Loudoun Telephone Of last week
says "The people of LOudOun will
naturally take pride in the thought that
the two most prominent members OF the
new Cabinet are somewhat identified with
our county. 1t is well known that James
G. Blaine's grandmother Gillespie was
native of Loudoun, and that the OsOorns,
HsatOns and others Of our prominent
families are directly related to the new
Secretary of State. But there are proba-
bly, few of our people who know that the
parents Of Hon. William Window were
natives of Loudoun county but such APP
pears to be the case. They were possess

HeIekiah and Mercy, and were members

The railroad company should provide
more passenger coaches for the two freight
trains that bring large portion of the
crowd which attends court here each
month. The south-bound train last Mon
day morning had only one passenger
coach and the passengers packed therein
like sardinss in tin box. The north
bound freight had two coaches, but they
too were crowded TO excess The com
pany should add at least one coach to
each train. This would permit the pas
sengers TO ride in comfort. We are in
formed that a great many people, who
now either come by private conveyances
or not at all, would gladly come by the
railroad if they we're sure of pleasant
ride.

Of the ssocicty boys" who have lately
- d.,ng the town, or rather been
visiting the Dung ladies, in siaiiiese-
4uins fashion. we're returning from cal
90 savaral of their feminine friends at Il
late bour when the elder of the pair IN
v;tsd bis companion to spend the few re-
naming hours before daybreak with him.
The Younger acquiesced. When they
reached their room the elder purposely
brought up the subject Of ghosts and after
both had narrated all the wierd expert
ances they had ever read or beard tod
ha informed his friend that the house
thew were in was haunted and If every
thing was quiet after twelve O'CLOCK d
Doise could be heard in the room above a.
~ n chair was rocking on the bare floor
This worked the nerves OF the younger
up to a high pitch, and he acknowledged
that he did not care TO come in contact
with spirits from other cllmes he had
brsyed the terrors of the old folks and
the shaggy watch dogs, but meeting
ghosts was out of his line. They had
ceased talking some minutes when the
noise began. There was no sleep for HIM.
After spending restless night was on
Abe street bright and early the next
morning telling every body he met OF the
haunted house and his experience during
the night. He stated that the noise
continued nearly all night and when
asked why he did not investigate the
cause saws he would not have taken his
head from under the cover for love OF
money. To his chagrin he found ont
later that his chum had placed arocking
chair in the room and by the aid OF
string reaching to the bed had kept II
in motion for several hours.

sTRAsBURG ITEMS.

There were fifteen tickets sold at this
depot on Monday morning last to persous'
who attended court on that day in Weed
stock.
The warm and pleasant weather of the
past few days has started some few OF
our people 10 making garden. They are
evidently imbued with the idea that the
"early bird will get the first worm"
Fresh Potomac herring are not selling
very readily in tn is market at the present
high prices which prevail But a number
of our piscatorial friends are having much
success in angling for the gay and ies-
tive yellow suckers. Mr. L. 5. GROVE
brought in string Of fine large ones on
Tuesday last. Lu says they beat "bhnd
robins" everytime.
Mr.. George Sonner, of Queen street, TINS
place moved to near Lebanon Church on
Tuesday last. We understand that Mr..
Lemley, OF Stephens City, will at once
move into the property vacated by MI
Sonner, and in this connection it is proper
TO speed the parting and welcome the
coming guest"
Among the many persons peramonla'lhs
the crowded streets in Woodstock, oil
Monday last. was the well known figure
OF "John T. in the cool," whose genial
smile and soft extended palm, offered to
almost every passer by, was proof positive
that this skillful pupil Of Blackstone, and
politician Is again willing to serve his
country, and state, too, If necessary, even
in the capacity Of governor.
During the past few days Of pleasant
weather our people were gratiied to see
on our streets again the well known form
of George A. Hupp, ESQ, strasburgs
Oldest citizen and one OF the most popular
and successful business men IN the

Materials of every description necessary
for building, are now being rapidly haul
ed together by that enterprising citizen
of,Q ueen street, Mr.. Obcd +. Chandler
He will erect a new and substantial
building adjoining his residence.

A poetic editor remarks as follows -
"There was a man in our town and he
was wondrous wise, for when he marked
his prices down. he then did advertise.
And when he saw his trade increase, with
all his might and main, be lower still
marked every price and advertised again.
And when he advertised gain his rivals
swore to zee folks rush with might and
main to patronize his store. And while
they sat in solitude and saw his custom
win that man behind the counter stood
and raked the shekels in, he saw his for
tune rising, he took a goOdly lot of tin
and kept on advertising. Each day a
generous sum he'd sink, and demonstrated
PLAIN, the more one pays for printers ink,
the greater is the gain

1t is amusing-the funny ideas that
some people have about stopping paper
the excuses offered, usually manu-
featured, or the angry denunciation, aud
the surprise in both cases at the indiiier-
ence Of the proprietors Of the paper
An exchange that has just had a little
epidemic of paper-stopping, wrote the
following sensible article;
"You have an unidentified right TO stop a
newspaper when you feel disposed, upon
payment of all arrearages. DO not hesi-
tate to do so on account of tenderness
for the editor. Don't you suppose he
would quit buying sugar OF you, or meal
clothing, dry goods, etc, If he thought ne
was not getting his moneys worth, and
why should you not exercise the same
privilege with him And when YOU dis
continue a paper, do so manfully. Don
be so spiteful as 10 throw 10 back 10 the
postmaster with a contemptuous 81 don I
want il any longer " and have "reiused'
written on the margin, and have the paper
returned to the editor. No gentleman
ever stopped it in that way, no matter 1t
his head is covered with gray hairs that
should be honorable. If YOU do not longer
wish 10 receive a newspaper write note
10 the editor like a man, saying so-and
be sure that arrearages are paid. This u

A well was sunk on the Russell farm
about two miles out the y. W. Grade
recently that deserves mention. At a
depth Of twelve or fifteen feet from the
surface, the bottom fell out aud large
stream of water appeared in view. Lucki-
", when the earth gave way beneath the
well digger's feet Mr.. Newlin's pick was
sticking tightly in the wall, and he hung
on to the handle TIL he was rescued from
his perilous position. We are informed
the stream of water measured thirty-seyen
feet in depth and that the passage way is
at least eighteen to twenty feet in width.
The length of the stream is not known.
There is another well not great ways
distant, into which, it is said, If saw dust
be thrown, it will come out at large
spring a half mile or more TO the SOUTH
east.-W Winchester Leader.
