Weyer's Cave Items.
Reported for the VIRGINIAN.

The hand of death always brings sadness, but
under few circumstances is it more distressing
than the death of Anna Landes, wife of Aldine
Landes, and daughter of our esteemed friend
and neighbor, Mr.. VIM. Huffman. The bond
that unites for life, was soon broken, leaving to
the distressed husband, motherless babe but
day old. While we were rejecting on this sad
occurrence, word reached US that Mr.. Henry
Sheets, one of our oldest and most respected citi
zens, had exchanged time for eternity He died
very suddenly of dropsy.
The immediate vicinity of Weyer's Cave depot
presents busy scene just at this time.
Mr.. l. B. Kagey is building new store house
opposite the depot, which he will occupy about
the 18th inst.
Mr.. S. L. Whitesell, our enterprising black
smith, is now manufacturing wagons, which are
in every particular first class. We think farmers
would do we'll to give him their work, and thus
encourage home industry
The Click Brothers have commenced burning
lime, where first class lime can be had at all
times. This lime has had for years widespread
reputation, DelnS OF superior quality.
AS railroad companies know how to keep
their own secrets, it is not known who our next
depot agent will be. This gives gossips some
trouble, and has occasioned no little surmising
on the part of those interested. This is the
most important shipping point between Harrison
burg and Stanton. We understand there is
some dissatisfaction on the part Of some living
near Staunton with the committee Of the Ger
man Baptist, relative to the place of holding
their Annual Conference. We have nothing to
say except that the men composing that commit
tee are men of sterling worth, who we believe
have sacrificed every selfish motive and aimed
at the greatest accommodations for the greatest
number. Why they rejected Staunton's liberal
offer do not know, but were l allowed to sur
mise, should be inclined 10 think, as they are
strictly temperate, having no utilization whatever
with whiskey, they must sacrifice everything to
save principle. And this IS strictly righteous.

Atlantic Garden. Greenville. The truck
was drawn by two gaily caparisoned
chargers.
Arrived on the grounds, the bases were
set out by standing three beer kegs up on
end, and the game began with Joe Whit
field as umpire, but when Jimmy Hooker,
who was pitching for the Excelsiors,
pitched the first ball down to Centrev1lle,
he called zone ball" so hard that he lost
his voice and went in to bat.
Big Pete Green, the policeman, took his
place as umpire, and it is worthy of mark
that there was no kicking at his de-
cisions.
In the third inning, when Ned Harri-
gan was at third, the ball hit him on the
chin, but he didn't mind that, for he has
more chin than any other man on tile
force.
The Champions were ahead for two in
nings, but in the third the Excelsiors took
the lead with eight runs in and five men
at the kegs. Jimmy Kelly drove one out
to Bob Wells, who was sitting on the cen
tire field fence, so hot that it sizzled. Bob
let it cool, and when it got in the bases
were empty. Pete Morris stole the three
new ones and the game was called.
When Steve Lent got to third and
wouldn't leave the base without q ball,
there came near being a kick among the
spectators. Charley SpeitZer told Louis
Pellat that he didn't think it was right,
and Station Master Keifer that it was a
mean advantage to take of the umpire.
Here is the score kept by Hornblower
Daley
