An Ordinance That Not Many Know Of.

The City Council, as matter of fact,
does not make any Of its laws public. In
stead OF advertising its ordinances in the
papers for the information of the people
who are interested, it has about 50 hand
bills printed, after the old village style, and
puts them up for the information of nearly
5000 people! They are seen by few and
read by still fewer, and in point of fact
amount to just that much money thrown
away in a farcical pretence Of informing
the people about the law which govern them.
In the last forty eight hours Officer Simpson
has summoned, as was his duty, two citi-
zens, for an offence which neither knew to
be such; and fol- violating an ordinance they
had never seen nor heard Of Here is the
extract of the ordinance, with the penalty
for violating it, with which we expect not

A Great Circus,

Augusta county has an Old-time reputa-
ton as a circus critic and is considered by
the profession a sure place for good audi
ence if the entertainment is good. That
was the opinion of ''old John Robinson, .
who often put Staunton into his route and
left out Richmond. With this preface, we
may say that the verdict here about Fore
paughs circus and Wild West show of
Saturday is, that it was by all odds the
greatest that ever visited here and far
ahead Of Barnum's greatest show on
EARTH" The number of the rings, the
rapidity with which the programme was
given, the daring feats, the fine menagerie,
the chariot racing, and last, but most novel
Of all, the Wild West show with it's cow
boys, Indians, cowgirls, troopers, attacks
on trains, lynch law and the like, made a
combination never approached in Stamton
before. Everything they set down on the
bills to be done under canvass, was done.
Outside of the canvass the balloon feat
The tent was the largest, by twice, of any
ever here, and was packed and damned. The
receipts must have been anywhere from
So, 500 to $4,000.
The show was followed by all sorts of
blood suckers shell, lottery, bmco
essayers, bogus jewelry, and so forth. One
fellow tried the game not long ago tried
here by a medicine man who had ''more
money than he had sense This fake1
threw brass jewelry in the crowd, and then
commenced selling pinchback jeWelry and
giving the money back to the purchaser
and something besides. He could have
gathered the people in better, for it was
taking well, but the balloon went up and
people marched off to see it and left him.
Forepaugh is fine old man and has a
fine circus, but he let's some over-sharI
tricks go on. Instead of furnishing ticket
offices enough to sell the immense crowd
conveniently, tickets were furnished specu-
lators who sold at 10 cents advance to peo-
pie who could not stand the crush at the
wagon.

Severe Thunder Storm.

The thunderstorm Saturday night was
one of the severest known here. The clouds
formed a low-hanging bank butlittle above
some of the highest church steeples, and
the all was alive with electricity. The
electric lights blazed with an intensity and
size unprecedented, till they were cut off,
and the unused telephone wires snapped
and cracked like whips. The discharges in
the skies were made with the rapidity of a
battery of artillery and sometimes had the
roll that musketry fire gives. For the
hour between midnight and l O'Clock, it
might fairly be said the city was continu-
ously in a glare of light. Three horses
owned by Maj. B. L. Bagby were killed in
field near Reservoir Hill. In their fright
they had crowded together. On Capt.
Kables place, a colt in it's fright ran against
Wire fence and received fatal injuries.
A COW owned by MI. III. j. Lushbaugh
and another owned by Capt. III. W. Henry,
were killed in the lots in which they grazed.
On Sunday night another rain and milder
thunder storm came, and on Monday night
a rain storm.
Both at Charlottesville and Harrison
burg the railroad depots were set ON fire by
the telegraph wires. The first was fired
during the storm of Saturday night and
was destroyed. 1t was the old depot in
Charlottesville, and not the Midland juno
ton as at first reported here. The second
was fired by the storm Of Tuesday last, in
the day time, but the telegraph operator,
James O'Brien, arrived in time to extin-
guish it before much damage was done.

His right foot got caught under the wheels
and was so badly mashed that it had to be
amputated. He was Immediately carried
to the office of DE-. Butler, who, with the
assistance of Drs. Harrison and Fry, per-
formed the operation. He was removed to
the residence of MI. Burg, where he is rest
ing as comfortably as could be expected
He went to Roanoke. from Staunton about
two weeks ago, and had been in search Of

The Local Taxation of Bonds.

An interesting case will go from Stalm-
ton to the Court of Appeals. The Com
missioner of the Revenue assessed tax of
1872 against John w. Stout, Ext Of James
M. Stout, dec d, on 81 1850 of bonds belonging
to the estate. The Executor appealed to the
Hastings Court from the assessment, on the
ground that the bonds were not taxable in
Staunton. The city showed on the trial
that the bonds were held in Staunton and
that all three executors of the estate resid-
ed within the city limits. The court held
that the personal property in question had
its situs for purposes of taxation at the
place where the decedent died augusta
county,, and ordered that the property be
stricken from the City Assessors books and
the tax thereon if collected be refunded.
The counsel for the city of Staunton, A. G.
