Winchester Leader We learn that on'
night last week q heavy locust post wa
found securely fastened between the rail-
on the C. V. Railroad in the northern
suburbs OF town. The object must have
been to wreck a train. And yet some
people don't believe in hell A man thai
could be guilty of such an act would b'
miserable in Heaven.
Staunton indicator: The Kings Daush
tiers of Stanton have resolved to make
an effort to build hospital here. The hrs'
step they propose to take, and which VII
doubtless be successful, will be to apply
to one of the Improvement companies
here for lot large enough to erect one
on. Securing this. they will then pro
coed to collect fund sufficiently large Il
erect building large enough to beglr
hospital service in, and to be enlarged az
they increase their fund. 1t is an enter
prise that all good people should assist in
and one that our churches will probably
help by establishing church costs therein
The Daughters have already been prom
ised some contributions, and if their frs
move for the lot is successful, they will
soon take their subscription list around.-
No better cause could be inaugurated, o.
one which appeals more strongly to every
humane feeling.

not what spirit, tied two beautiful settei
dogs, belonging TO Mr. T. W. Lillard, o
this place, on the railroad trestle near The

Last Wednesday three-year.O old son o
Mr.. Buck Henry fell into tub of scald
ing water and was so severely burned
that after lingering in agony his deatl
resulted the next day. The day after hi
death another son of Henry's, who live
with Mr.. Joseph r. Murray, fell off of I
load of fodder and broke his arm. Mr.
Henry is a poor man, and in his unusua
afliction has the sympathy of all whit
know him. The fracture was reduced bl
DR.. Keller, and We are glad to say tina
the boy is doing we'll
Pine trees in large numbers in differen
sections of the county are dying. In fac
in some neighborhoods there are to b.
found but very few pine trees that ar
not either dead or in such condition as Il
lead to the belief that they are affecte'
the same way. Some attribute the IN
usual occurrence to the operations of
small worm, while Others confidently as
sert that careful examination fails to dis
cover any worms. Whatever may be tn
cause a general destruction of the PIN
trees OF the county is threatened. w
Learn from Mr.. Philip Long that a simila
condition of things existed in 1S4S, if "
remember correctly as to the tune. Il
East Virginia the same destruction
going on among the chestnuts.
