Christmas Day.

Having anticipated the regular day
of its publication, in order to give all
connected with the office the privilege
of enjoying Christmas. the VIRGINIAN
extends it's congratulations to its numer-
Gus readers this morning and wishes
them each and all a Merry Christmas.
We trust it will be recognized as day of
rational enjoyment-a joy springing
from no sensual indulgences or bestial
excuses, but in grasping and apprecia-
ting the great truth of Risen Savior
Redeemer from the curse of sin-an
Intercessor for pardon, because of VIC
lated Iaw-that the penalty of death
might be lifted from condemned world,
and eternal life, and light and liberty
assured to every one who accepts this
Risen Savior indeed and in truth. In
no other sense should the day be cele-
brated, and i'm no other sense is it right
or safe to celebrate it. And in our
christmas gifts" which bring so much
gladness to innocent little souls, let it
be remembered that they are but the
symbols Of that unspeakable gift OF the
only Begottea Son, that we through his
death might have eternal life.

Memorial Building.

In response to a request of Major j.
Marshal McCue, the citizens of Augusta
county and Staunton met in the court
house on Monday last, court day, to
consider Maj. McCue's proposed plan of
a memorial building at Washington, d.
G. The meeting was called to order by
Capt. Jno. N. Opie, upon whose motion
J. w. Churchman was elected chairman,
and Heber Ker, secretary. Maj. McCue
prefaced the reading of his petition to
Congress by giving history of his con
nection with the preparation of block
of stone for the Washington monument,
The stone had been prepared at cost
of 500. Judge Hendren furnished the
inscription for the stone, as follows ::
1.-THE Augusta Block-ca1m.ja cet clanaat,"
The stone has never been used, the Maj.
stated, and was not speaking, as was
intended, of the patriotism, and devo-
ton of the people of Augusta
The plan for the memorial building at
Washington, to be opened in 1892 to per-
petuate the memory of Columbus as the
discoverer of America. was then read by
Mai. McCue. He called 1t the Augusta
Plan 1t proposed that historic blocks
of stone from jamestown, Plymouth
Rock, from every battle field of the Rev
olution, and of the war of the States;
and from every historic or noted place
within the limits of the Three Americas,
should be prepared by patriotic citizens,
and presented to the Government for
the construction of the proposed memo
rial. He thought the transportation
could be gotten free. So that the only
expense to the Government would be in
putting the stones in place. This, MAJ.
McCue said, would represent fitting
memorial from all sections of the land
of the discovery, to the memory of the
man who had been instrumental in this
great achievement. Maj. McCue was
listened to attentively, and after the
reading of his petition. a resolution was
unanimously adopted endorsing 1t, and
recommending it to the favorable con-
sideration of Congress.

LEXINGTON, VA, Dec. 10.
EDITOR VALLEY VIRGINIAN: Staun-
ton and Augusta county afford several
students each year for the Washington
and Lee University. They are most
generally law students, though out of
the five here this year there are two ac-
ademics. Last year Lewis Bumgardner
graduated in the law department with
high standing He was a good man,
popular among fellow students, and his
occasional visits this year are welcome
to his old friends. J. L. Duncan, Ru-
dolph Bulngardner, S. r. Hudson, W.
G. Morton, of Staunton; j. A. Alexander,
of Milnesville, and F. B. Kennedy, of
Greenville, complete the Augusta list
this year. They are all earnest students.
Bumgardner, Hudson, and Morton are
in the academic departments; Alexander,
Kennedy, and Duncan in the law. The
latter have the advantage of being un-
der Mr. Randolph Tucker. They are
thoroughly engrossed in him, as they
have cause to be. Mr.. It's return from
public life to the law professorship has
been of vast Importance to Washington
and Lee. He not only brings to her halls
vast knowledge and wide intellectual
resources, but the rich experience of n
practicing lawyer, a legislator, q public
man who has been honored, won a name
wherever he has been. Duncan and AL
eXander are taking the two years course
of law in one. They are laboring very
industriously. as it is absolutely neces-
sary they should do SO. intermediate
examinations end this week. when they
go to Augusta to spend Christmas vaca-
ton. The boys in the Collegiate depart
good work. They are well liked by all
of their associates, and are apparently
pleased with Lexington and the Wash
ington and Lee University

To Owners Of Mineral Lands:

We have effected an arrangement with
Professor Holmes of the Staunton Male
Academy by which quGIitdti0e an
alyses of all kinds of minerals will be
made without cost to the owners and the
results published in the VIRGINIAN.
This department was for q long time
conducted by DR.. Traphagen, and proved
of interest and value to many of our read
ers and patrons. DR.. Traphagen's sue
cessor is a skillful and thorough chemist,
and will make the department us popular
and full of interest as heretofore.
Parties desiring quantitGtiUe analyses
will, of course, be charged reasonable
fee
All minerals, waters, soils, &C., must be
delivered at the VIRGINIAN Office at the
owners expense.
ANALYSES OF ORES, ETC.
A. b.. Staunton-Specimen contains
both magnetic iron ore and red hema-
tite, and would show on analysis good
percentage of metallic iron.
W. b. c., Mt Meridian.-Titanic iron
ore. 1t frequently occurs in seams of
quartz, and is a deliterious constituent of
iron ores.
S. w. T., Hightown, Highland coun-
ty.-A surface specimen of brown hema-
tite iron ore. Further development of
the vein would probably yield a good
quality of ore.
]. H., Straight Greek, Highland coun-
ty.-The samples are specimens of fos-
seIiferous red hematite iron ore. These
red ores are extensively mined from
PENNSYLVANIA to Alabama, and usually
Weld upwards of 80 per cent. OF metallic
iron with low content of phosphorus
The samples are of excellent quality.
j. W., Highland county.-Carbonife
Gus shale. This accompanies the coal
seams as a wall rock, and is frequently
the surface indication of the presence of
coal veins.
7. G. S., New Hope.-An unctious clay
but contains too much iron for a good
kaolin.
S. F., Burke's Mills-Sandstone, hay
ing IA peculiar "unctious feel'' due to the
presence of small quantities of silicates.
