FIRE AT WILSON POINT.

The passenger station, freight houses and immense wharves of the Housatonie railroad company at Wilson Point were burned early Thursday morning. The fire originated from lantern placed by one of the workmen upon pile of jute, and in unloading another bale of jute fell and overturned the lantern and the flames rapidly spread. About 20 loaded cars were burned and 10 or 15 empty cars. It is impossible to ascertain, even approximately, the amount of the loss, although it has been estimated as low as $150, 1000 and as high as $500,00O.
 Col Stevenson has notified shippers that there will be no interruption of the freight traffic, as Bridgeport has been made the transfer point. The company will undoubtedly rebuild as soon as pos. sible.

That Sly Old Fox.

For months the rivalry between TWO
Of our hotels has excited the amusement
of not only our own people. but Of many
travelling men and visitors. Both boasted
Of the bountifulness Of their tables and OF
the most attractive features Of their re-
spective houses. One Of the prcprietors
went so far az TO advertise the fact that
he had COW, without giving the age,
that gave ice cream. The story was not
believed. but still it had its effect for to
give some color TO this remarkable yarn,
he would occasionally favor his boarders
with dessert Of ice cream and cake &C.
caslons that were always well advertised
in advance, The proprietor OF the other
house did not seem to take much stock IN
the ice cream racket, bat his special hob
by was his fue flock of chickens which
be always exhibited to his guests with
great deal Of pride and permitted them to
draw the inference that these chickens
were raised expressly for the guests who
favored his house with their custom. Soon
the proprietor of the first named hotel
procured two red foxes which were eIhi'
bited with great pride TO all who called
at the house. In few weeks the novel
ty wore of and the calls upon the foxes
were few and far between. No one was
aware Of the fact that what was once the
fox den was only an empty box, and that
the foxes had full liberty to roam over the
neighborhood as soon as darkness con-
cealed their depredations. The fine Hook
of spring chickens that had been exhibited
with so much eelat, gradually grew small
er. without improving the table OF the
proprietor. Chicken thieves, bird dogs
rats, and even pole cats, IN turn became
objects OF suspicion and received the
hearty abuse Of many..a careful housewife,
whose chickens disappeared night after
night. The matter was fully discussed
in public places, and the digniied propri-
etor of the hotel, whose chickens we're a.
ways carefully housed, guilty listened 10
all the details of the depredations OF the
mysterious night prowleu, never even in
tlmated that his foxes had been given
their liberty with a complimentary ticket
to every hen house In the town except
one, and when he wanted to smile at his
own nefarious scheme, selected his own
darkeued chamber tor the purpose.
Bot murder will out. The rapid in
crease of feathers upon his premises e1'
cited suspicion, and upon investigation 1t
was ascertained that the foxes had not
been sold TO the Merry Campers, As had
been reported, but that they had nice
little den in the stable which was always
open after dark. A fox hunter was at
once put upon the trail, the foxes were
captured and are now securely Gagged and
will afford amusement at the Shenandoah
County Fair, where there will be a regular
old time fox chase every day Of the fair

Preserving a Lawn.

After lawn has been neatly leveledf
sown, and become well set in grass, the
main point is it's preservation. This is In
no way difficult. If frequent aPplica-
tions Of fertilizers are made, and severe
wear IS not allowed in particular spots,
for games or otherwise. Though hne
bone il the best TO seed down with when
it is narrowed into the soil, it is OF little
or no use when sown upon the grass. ln-
stead Of that, q good fertilizer, using
about FIVE pounds 10 the square rod, once
in a season. after the first spring moving
will keep it up. An odorless brand is to
be preferred Wood ashes alone will
keep up the grass for some time; but
when this IL used it 10 well 10 apply some
nitrous fertilizer occasionally, say pound
Of nitrate Of soda to the rod, when and
where the grass lacks greenDess.
81 another time will say something
about the planting Of trees and sbrubbery
on this class Of lawns, where not much
expense can be incurred. -Iieks maya

In answer TO the article IN the SHKNAN-
DOAH HERALD Of this week in regard TO
the game Of base ball 10 be played in
Woodstock between the Winchester and
Woodstock baseball clubs, we have only
TO say that we were challenged by the
Climax club Of that place TO play game
Of ball on their ground on our return
from stanton, which was to be Friday,
30th Of August, and we accepted the chal-
lenge. On our return we got of OF the
cars on Friday evening, and the Captain
of the Climax club told us several OF
their players we're out Of town and they
could not play us. Now if Woodstock
does not propose 70 accept any excuses,
we do not propose to accept any either,
and we claim forfeited game from them
for us, 9 to 0. But we are willing TO can
eel the two games, and play them on
their grounds on next Friday the 18th of
September, or one day the following
week. 5. V. b. B. G. of W. Va.
The above is from the Winchester Ne'cs
of Sept 10th, and is all wrong from be-
ginning to end. The truth is the win
chester club sent a challo nge to the Val
ley Star club Of this place TO play a game
on the Winchester grounds. The Valley
Stars replied by offering to play them on
their grounds here. and when the Win
chester club passed here on their way to
play Stanton they left word that they
would stop off on their return aud play
them on Saturday. They returned on
Friday and stated that their tickets would
not hold good for a layover here until the
next day, and the Captain Of the Valley
Stars informed them that it would BE- i'm
possible for his club TO play them as sew
eral of his men were out of town.
Now this had nothing to do with the
Climax club whom the Winchester club
arranged to play here on Wednesday Of
last week but failed TO do so, az the dis
appointment OF the large crowd of s0ecta-
tors and the Climax boys will testify.
The reasons they sent for not putting in
an appearance were such as no club won Id
have listened 10 for a moment, aud the
umpire only did bis duty when be gave
the game to the Climax by the usual
score Of 9 to 0.

VALLEY VIEW SPRINGS, Va,
Thursday Sept. 5, 1882.
To-day is one that will long be remem-
bered by many people of this section, aud
OF the Kagey family particularly as an
nonnced several months ago. The Kagey
family held there seventh reunion Lore
to-day, 1t being the first ever held in this
State The six previous ones, being held
in Ohio and Illinois. There we're about
three hundred persons on the grounds
three fourths Of which ct least were
Kagey's, or of Ksgey progeniteurs.
Whilst there we're but i've states repre-
sented to-day, they hope to continue these
reunions until they shall unite the whole
family which is now known to have
representatives in eighteen states and
territories. These family reunions first
origin ated at DR.. Isaac Kagey's, Tifbn'
Ohio, through the efforts Of bis Wife,tand
have continued TO grow, and by the I'M
firing zeal, of different members OF the
family, they have fonnd that from one
John X. Ksgey, who came from S"itLer-
land TO Pennsylvania, in the year l7l6'
and one Rudolph Kagey, who came few
years later, that the family has increased
to about two thousand persons.
Tha exercises Of the day were opened
with prayer by Rev. Cone. Mr.. Jos X.
Kagey, Of Christmau. Ohio, next made
few remarks 10 relation to the object OF
these reunions. Mr. D. +. Kagey, OF
New Market, made q short speech OF
welcome to those from other states. Dr.
Kagey, of Tim, Ohio, made fine one 10
response After which Franklin kagey'
Of Chambersburg, Pa, gave the history OF
the family from the arrival Of John K.
Kagey IRON Switzerland down through
the different generations TO the present.
After hearing the history which had moth
ing in it TO mar the appetite of any kagey
or desc endant Of the blood, :they all par
took Of a plentiful dinner. After dinner
they assembled and had a photograph
taken, after which impromptu speeches
were INDUCED in by all who could be
prevailed upon to 90 so.
As 1t would not be possible to give the
names of all the visiting relationship |
will not give the names Of any.
The day was enjoyed by all and the
grounds were not deserted until the sun
hiding behind tie north mountain.

they might live to see another reunion.
