A New Class Of Beggars.

The charitable work of the Ladies City
Mission has had one marked effect in Staun-
ton; it has stopped, OIL so diminished house
toulouse begging, that it is rarely one sees a
town beggar. But drawback on that eX-
cellent result, is that lately, poor and desti-
tute people from the county are coming
in to fill their places; sometimes young girls
and others children. Apart from the nuis-
ance it is, there is the more grave fact that
a city is no place for young girls to beg,
nor for any woman. It is full of dangers
We would suggest to the charitable ladies'
of the county, and Augusta county is full
of them, that they organize a Charitable
Notwithstanding on the plan of the
City Mission here. Any one Christian
woman can, as was done in Staunton. start
the movement, and she will find plenty of
Christian women in the county to help her.
If Augusta county were divided into visit
ing districts, by a County Association of
ladies, the amount Of good that could be
done would astonish even those who do it,
when they see it summed up. If the ladies
from each of the Christian denominations
in the county, as has been done in Staun-
ton, should form an Association for visit
ing and relieving the poor, a beggar would
be as rare sight there as it is in town.

Appreciative Advertisers.
Our esteemed contemporary the Highland

our esteemed contemporary tuo hlSlllttHu
Recorder, has the following paragraph:
The Staunton VINDICAToR is brimful of ad-
vertisements. Its issue of April 26 had only half
a column of reading matter on its editorial page.
Its patrons appreciate its worth as a medium
through which to advertise their wares.
There is always what might fairly called
a pressure of advertisements on the col
umns of the VINDICATOR-that is to say
there is hardly week in the year that some
advertisements are not obliged to be thrown
over in order that the news interest of the
paper may be kept up. This pressure
may be largely referred to the character OF
it's subscription list. There is no field SO
desirable to the advertiser who has anything
to sell, as a subscription list that is COM
posed wholly of subscribers who have paid
in advance. A cash cuStOmer-the most
desirable of all to an adyertiser-is most
readily found among those who pay cash
for their newspaper, and who have become
accustomed to the use of cash in exchange
for what they buy. 1t is rarely that an adj
vertiser wishes to eXpend his money to
draw class of credit customers can
find them without advertising. Business
men are shrewd class, and it is to their
appreciation of the class of readers they adj
dress through the columns of the VINDI-
GATOR, that it owes it's large advertising

Damages Against Mother for Separating
Her Son From His Wife.

The suit of Mrs. Laura A. Curtis against
Mrs. Adrienne A. Curtis for S., 900, for turn
ing her husband affection from her and in
ducing him to leave her taking with him by
stealth their little three year-old girl was de-
cided in the Circuit Court last week by the
jury giving the plaintiff a verdict for
S., 200. The defendant when on the stand
during the trial testified that she had sent
some SO, 900, the amount of her deceased
husband S life insurance to Madame De-
morest, the fashion publisher of New Y ork,
cher husbands sister, to keep for her. A
day OF two after the verdict was rendered,
the defendant was seen at the G. e O. depot
preparatory to leaving the city. The lain-
tiff's counsel had her stopped and she was
not permitted to leave the city until she
had made legal assignment as will secure
the satisfaction Of the verdict given against
her, and which assignment included the
fund in Madame Demorests hands. The
plaintiffs husband, e. X. D. Curtis,
who took the child off, is said to be living
in Indiana, but has never been seen by his
wife since he left.
Judge Mclaughlin yesterday morning
entered an order directing the Sheriff to
sell the real estate Of Mrs. Adrienne A. Cur
tbs here, in pursuance of an attachment
here to satisfy the verdict for damages.

A Sad Case.

On Tuesday night last, the police ralded
three houses of i'll fame in the city, a
number of tie inmates were before Mayor
Fultz, Wednesday morning. Messrs. Ed
ward Echols and w. E. Craig appeared for
the accused. Several of them we're held to
bail for good behavior, and two Of them
went with Messrs Echols and Craig to MI
E. s law office, to arrange about bail. One,
giving the name of BERTHE Smith, seventeen
years of age, showed so Enthusiastically by
her manner and appearance that she had
lately left refined home, that MI. Echols
asked where she was from, land was told she
came from Monroe county, W. Va, and
lived at Sinks Grove. He questioned her
more closely and she broke into tears and
told her story and gave her real name. She
was the daughter of most respectable people,
had been ruined, and only two weeks before
had disappeared from her home and come to
Staunton. MI. Echols telegraphed to gen
tleman at Sinks Grove to inform her father
of her whereabouts, and later sent to the
house here from which the girl had been
taken. to find and detain her. She had fled
with female companion in a carriage for
Waynesboro, where she expected to take the
cars for Roanoke. Mr.. Echols procured car
riage, and getting Officer Simpson, pursued
them. They overlook the girls about four
miles from town and brought BERTHE Smith
back. She made no resistance, but seemed in
all agony of anxiety about what would be
done with her land what reception she would
get if sent home where MI. Echols told her
he intended to send her. After getting her
to town, Nh Echols and the officer found q
respectable house where the kind people
after hearing the story consented to keep
her until her friends could come for her.
The poor girl had only been in the city
week. Some one was waiting for her at
the G. & O. depot and took her to the house
in which she was found. A gentleman from
Sink S Grove says that community, when
the girl disappeared were under the impress
sion that her betrayer had taken her off to
marry her.

from citizens Of Lexington for a night train
between that town and Baltimore, said he
could not promise that it would be given,

the B. & O. to say that they made the ex-
pertinent of night trains some years ago and
lost good many dollars on it.
Yet if they could stand it long enough to
educate the people Of this locality into say

pay well in the end.
On May 22d, the first freight train Of the
Ohio Valley road was transferred across
