Dead, of Rev. sam uel ,,row !,

Rev. Samuei Brown, the oldest minister
in Lexington Presbytery, died at the res.
idence of his son-in law, in Bath county,
Friday morning, May 81. aged 81 years.
and in the fifty seventh year of his min
istry. What a train Of events and Incl
dents and achievements are covered by the
active evangelical work of this good man !!
He was cotemparaneous with the deyel-
opment Of religious thought and relig-
ious strength, as well as the material
growth of the country. He had seen the
church emerge from the primitive log hut
and the sparsely settled rural districts into
an imposing power accommodated by
stately edilices and comprising the culture
and refinement of the country. Windy
Cave church, erected in the mountains of
Bath, is surrounded by picturesque
scenery and the most charming attac-
tions4 Of nature. The location itself is
notwithstanding by the rocks the pres
ence of God. and presenting his infinite
power. as manifested IN the rugged up

thrown into confused mass. This good
man was student of nature as we'll as of
books. The fields and the forests, the
hills and the mountains. continually re.
yeaIed to him the ininity of the Ruler of
the Universe and humbled him In the
presence of the majesty and power of
The Creator of all things. His life was
an exemplification Of the christian relig
ion. Gentle as child: trusting, self-sac-
rificing and ever laboring to do good and
relieve suffering humanity. his incoming
and outgoing was an epistle to ba read of
men, influencing for good both by precept
aud example.
Few men have passed through life with
less to regret of omission and commits
sion, and none whose associations and in
tercourse have contributed more largely
to elevate christian character and impress
christian virtues. ..s....

The storm which visited other portions
of the country and was specially destruc
tive in Pennsylvania, spent its force in
our city Saturday night last. For several
days the thermometer indicated an intense
degree of heat for this season of the year.
The nneties were reached. and the heat
was oppressive, the atmosphere close; and
those who felt that it was not entirely
safe to remove their winter clothing, felt
it TO lie burden. The sky was overcast.
as late as eleven o'clock; but there was
nothing to forecast the terrific storm OF
thunder, lightning, rain and wind, which
burst upon our city about II o'clock. We
roar of thunder 1t was without inter
mission during the storm, and the flashes
of lightning made it dis bright as day. The
rain came down in torrents. and was
driven furiously by the wind. 1t was the
first. thunder storm of the season, and will
long be remembered as one Of the most
terrific ever known here. The OILY dam
age known to have been done, was the
killing Of three horses belonging to Major
Is. 7. Bagby. The horses were in the
field IN rear Of Maj Baghy'S residence
When found their bodies were close to
gather, almost touching each other, and
they appeared to have been killed in
stantIy. The marks on the bodies of the
horses indicated that the lightning struck

legs. Major Baghy states that the horses
were worth $500. and were valuable ami

FOrepaugh's circus was pronounced a
success by all who saw it. The train on
the & o. bringing the company to town
was late, and the crowds of people who
began to gather on the streets at an early
hour, had long and tedious time waiting
for the parade. The people turned out
Ten masse,' and the dav was enjoyed as
only circus day can be. Everybody was
in perfect good humor. and the discom-
forts of the occasion were lost sight OF
under the enlivening influences OF the
crowd and the show. A vast crowd, esti
mated by the thousands, filled the immense
tent at the afternoon performance. and
the attendance at night was good. The
grand ''entree" was imposing. and en-
braced the largest collection of horses,
Wild West show was grand and startling.
and gave splendid idea of scenes enactt d
in the far west. The show is admirably
gotten up, and the immense concern IS
handled with a system and management
which show a master hand at tbs helm.
Perhaps the most remarkable performance
of this wonderful combination. was the
trapeze acting. Executed with wonders
full skill from dazzling heights, it ELECTED
the applause of the spectators. and filled
the more timid with awe at the seemingly
perilous situation of the actors. The
unanimous verdict was that the show was
a grand success, and that the trapeZe was
the best ever seen. The late hour at which
the afternoon performance closed. de-
tracted from the interest in the balloon
ascension; but all that had been promised
in the bills was fully carried out. and
everybody was pleased.

We have in out city men of talent and means
in all the departments Of business. We have as
efficient mechanics as can be found anywhere.
We are anxious to maintain our established in
dustries, and to add to those we already have,
And yet we learn that in the construction of the
Y. M c. A. building, the joiners work has
been let to Nandegrift & Co, of Charlottesville,
while we have in our city several establishments,
any one of which should do this work. We were
not little surprised to learn that this work had
been let outside our city, and we have made
some enquiry into the facts. Great was our sur
prise to find that not one of our CONCERNS would
bid on the work. We were further informed
that the work was offered to Our home people at
the bid of a Baltimore house, which was con-
sidered to be at good figures but it was declined.
Mr., Tinsley, the contractor, preferred to have
the work done at home. Certainly it would
ton people. The fact that it goes away from
our city, and is being done by concern in
another town, is not creditable to our contrac-
tors, and reflects injuriously upon our town.
The work could have been done here, and at
fair prices and our mechanics now either on
short time or idle on our streets, would have
something to do to keep the wolf from the door.
Our master builders and contractors should feel
sufficient pride and interest in maintaining our
home industries, TO see that these things do not
happen, to the injury of our town, and all its
material interests. Surrounded by the finest
timber in the world, the flooring of the Y. M. C.
A. building is furnished from Norfolk. and the
material and joiners work comes from town 40
miles east of us. This is the peoples building,
built by the contributions of a generous public,
and for public uses, and the work should have
been done by our own mechanics and workmen,
who are not less worthy and efficient than those
of any other place. We must mend our ways if
we would keep up with the times.
Jno. II. Blackburn, known to be gentleman
of fine mechanical talent, is in charge at the
building which is guarantee that the work will
be well done.
