A Matter OF Opini0n.-NOe long since
two young men residing within Tie shadow
Of the village Of Bryantown in the quest of
pleasure made a visit to young LADY. On
their way they had to cross large pool Of
water which was done without much trouble,
but short time after their arrival a, the
home of the fair damsel the heavens began to
weep. 1--WE suppose because they mad ventur-
ed out.) After spending most pleasant
evening they betook themselves Tor home
Everything was going as happy as a marriage
bell until they reached the pool Of water, one
of the due, said "Ebbe will get out and
wade over while you drive over, and suit
ing the. action to the word launched forth,
when about midway Of the stream with water
IN TO his neck he called out "Ebbie drive on,
there is no danger, am not bit damp"
Ebbie thinking he was speaking Tip truth
plunged boldly in the stream, soon pc real
lied that not alone the buggy was ioating.
but he was floating as well. Obi ohll he
cried, ohll COLL Gnally he reached terra Jfrma
when in deep superchral tones was heard this
sad wall, girls may be good things, but when
YOU are nearly drowned it then becomes a
matter Of opinion.

Tobacco Returned.-Mt. James

Tobacco Returned. Mt. James A.
Murray, Of Bryantown, who shipped a hogs
head Of tobacco to Lynchburg, VAL some
time ago under inducements offered him by a
firm Of Lynchburg tobacco dealers, and which
brought him into debt, acting under advice
Of counsel, has since made demand upon the
said firm for return Of the tobacco or other
wise he would bring suit for damages, and
has had something like the same returned to
him to Baltimore and consigned to Messrs'
w II. Moore 4 Co. The returned hogshead
of tobacco was encased in an old virginia
cask and upon inspection in State Tare-
house it turned out to be hogshaad of sport
Virginia tobacco, not near so good as thepne
Mr.. Murray shipped. However, he accepted
It. as the best that could be doHe under The
circumstances, and had the same sold for Hv'
cents per pound, the hogshead netting hin
$40 after all expenses, including the freigh
to and from Lynchburg was paid. Mr.
Lautz was the purchaser. The LynchburG
dealer readily agreed to give up the tobscc'
upon demand and made no charges agains
him, showing very plainly that there wa
something wrong somewhere.

A GOOD CHANcE-Now that the Second

the large number of our citizens who have
so generously devoted their time and talents
in overseeing those works, without the hope
of fee or reward, are thrown cut of work,
for their benefit we will state that the con-
gregaton of Oliyet Church, in Fairfax coun-
~, ere now erecting g new church edfice
about six miles from this city and are badly
in want OF competent persons to oversee the
work and give advice to The workmen. Can
rot ct least halfdozen OF our 'overseers"
volunteer for the work? The walking is
now good and they can take their choice Of
either the county road or the railroad, and
we are sure they Can make good wages
there, rs we think they caa get their vict-
uals for their clothes, and if they have
good stock OF the latter they can spend most
of the summer in tho country. We would
