Obituary Eumors.

The Saturday Revie,o says that the modern
cemetery and the epitaphs in a rural church
yard often declare very low level of taste and
very curious idea of poetry. Photographs

toe brasSes and hic facets of the dead who
died IN days more artistic and less scientific
more careful of permanence and less familiar

photographs, however, are SO grotesque, SO iu-

A Company has been organized with
authorized capital of 100000, in shares
of $50 each, to conduct Sherwood Fe-
male Seminary. The officers are: NJ.
Erskine Miller, President; Hon. J. E..
Massey, Vice-President: W. P Tams.

and the above named gentlemen and
&. G. Gooch and W. HI. Weller, directors
The object of this organization is to

The Company holds charter from the
Circuit Court of Augusta county, which
empowers them with all the privileges
necessary for conducting female school,
and holding real estate to the amount of

Change of Firm.

On the list of March Mr.. l.. g. Strauss,
so long and favorably known in connec
ton with the clothing house of Jos. l..
Barth, on South Augusta street, was adj
mitted to the firm as a partner, and the
business hereafter will be conducted
under the style of J. L. Barth & Co. 1t
is not necessary to add any words of
commentator to this establishment.
For years it has been with US, and there
is no man in the Valley or State who
stands higher as a square, fair dealer
than Jos. L. Barth. There is method
and order in every department of his
house, and all who have dealt with him
will testify that the observance of the
highest integrity is the rule in his bust
ness. Mr.. Strauss has contributed large
ly to the excellent reputation the house
enjoys, and will continue to merit the
confidence of the community.
About the 10th inst. the senior partner
will leave for the North to purchase his
spring and summer stock. 1t will be
large and of course the very best in ma
ter1al and patterns, and suited to the
demands of the trade in this section. So
be particular and don't buy until you
have had a chance to examine the at
tractive goods the firm of Barth u Co.
will lay before you.

Death of Jno. O'Conner,

John O'Conner, only son of Dennis
O'Conner, of Staunton, died at Speed
well, KY, on the list inst, from a singu-
lar affection, aged about 90 years. There
was constant oozing of blood through
the pores of the skin, for some days be-
fore his death. He was a graduate OF
Dunsmore's Business College, and was
engaged with his uncle, Capt. Mccarthy
a railroad contractor, as book-keeper.
He was a young man of excellent char
acter and promise, and was much es-
teemed by all who knew him. His re-
mains were brought to Staunton on
Monday last, and buried from st. Fran
ces church, Rev. Father McVerry Off
ciating.
The attendance at the funeral was
very large, evincing the esteem in which
the deceased was held, and the great
sympathy felt for his family in theil
affection. Vim. Lynham, VIM. Dono-
van, Thos. Burke, M. Kivlighan, VIM
Walters and T. Burke were the pail

New in StauntOn,

The New York and Philadelphia Bank
rupt Store have put up the Lampson
cash box system in their store-room No.
8, North Augusta street. The business
of this house has so increased that it has
been found necessary for the proper
handling of the goods and attention to
customers to resort to this convenient
method of handling the cash. At pres
ent there are 3 boxes worked from the
seat occupied by Miss Hutchinson, the
cashier, and extending to all parts of the
store. This is the first cash box system
enterprise of this popular house, which
keeps them in the front ranks. See the

West StauntOn Land Co,

The West Staunton Land Company
was organized on Tuesday night by the
election of the following officers:
President, W. II. Weller; Vice resi-
dent, c. c. Berry; Gen'l Manager, NJ. M.
Robertson. Directors; S. D. Timber
lake, B. f. Hughes, c. l.. Cooke, DR.. A.
M. Henkle, J. P. Kice, Staunton; Mica
.ah Woods, Charlottesville; S. H. Hans
borough, Winchester; and James r.
Lupton, Harrisonburg.
The property OF this company consists
of 80 acres of the beautiful estate of Col
j. L. Peyton, adjoining the Fair
Grounds, and fronting ON the Parkers-
burg Pike, in the western suburbs of
the city, the purchase of which was
closed on the 4th. 1t will be at once
plotted into building lots, and placed on
the market. The capital stock is $75,-
600, in shares OF 500 each and par value
500. The stock will be taken in pay
ment on the purchase of lots at $3.50 per
share. Upon each share of stock cash
payment of So will be require d, 10 per
cent on the 18th of April, and 10 per
cent the 18th of each month until the
whole subscription is paid.
10000 will be appropriated to the i'm
provement of the property.
This improvement is designed as an
addition to the city. Eligible building
lots are in demand, and every house
erected will have ready purchaser or
renter. The location is one of the most
desirable and attractive that could have
been selected for such an enterprise, and
we have no doubt the lots will go off
rapidly and at good prices.
Col. Peyton reserves the handsome
improvements and 30 acres of the tract,
and will watch with interest the growth
of West End into thriving addition to
Staunton, from the EMPOWERED piazzas
of Steephill.
The street railway, now in contempla-
ton, when completed will pass along
Fair Ground avenue in all probability,
and afford direct and easy access to
West Staunton from the main part Of
the city. Indeed, it wonld make West
Staunton delightful residence locality,
and enhance property there to remun-
erative figures.

cry, which mashed it very badly. Upon

as could be expected. On Saturday, his
