We have just returned from the
Northern markets, and it gives us
pleasure to call attention to our new
stock, which is daily arriving. Tn no
previous season have the markets
shown such bewildering display of
novel and beautiful designs. Indeed,
art, stimulated to its utmost by the
prizes offered to success, has done its
utmost for the manufacturer, setting
its seal Of beauty side by side with the
stamp Of labor. Naturally so large a
variety Of goods offers wide feldfor
the exercise of buyers taste and Judge
ment, and with all due modesty be it
sai0 We never opened for display, or
exposed for sale stock of goods OF
whose worth we felt more genuine
confidence, or Of whose powers Of
pleasing we were more sanity
assured. We have endeavored to pur
chase with special reference to the
wants Of our own trade, such q class of
goods as shall best satisfy cur custom
ers and sustain our reputation as reli-
able jewelers..

A Lady Burned to Death.

Miss Martha Ezekiel, "a niece Of Mrs. Al
exander Hart of this city, was SO badly
burned at Bedford City, Va, Monday, that
she died on Tuesday night. She had Teen
teacher in the Richmond schools but re-
signed last June on account of her health,
and had gone to Bedford city to learn short
hand and type writing at the college there.
She was sitting at the type writer when her
clothing took fire. Ignorant that it was
her own clothing that made the smoke, she
got up and raised the window to let the
smoke out. In a moment the draft created
a blaze and she was dreadfully burnt. Her
uncle, Dr.. Levy of Richmond, was sum-
moned by telegraph, but her injuries We're
beyond relief. She had been in Staunton
Oh several visits and had many friends
here

STAUNToN, VA, Dec. 18th.
Our local market is again. lower on both
wheat and hay in sympathy with the markets
elsewhere. There is not very much wheat
coming in to market just now OF it is quite
likely prices would be even lower, for there
is absolutely no margin for profit to the ship
per at present figures. Milling wheat is now
selling in Staunton for the same prices that
obtain on change in Richmond and Balti-
more, so that if the railroads would carry
wheat without charge for freight, and the
merchants would sell it without commission,
still it would be better for the farmer to sell
his wheat in Staunton where he will get a
better price than anywhere else.
Hay is lower. We reduce quotations half
dollar per ton all around. There is large
quantity being sold.
The Philadelphia Record of Saturday in its
review of the grain market for the week, says:
"The effect of the stringent money market On
the grain trade is evident in a decrease in
speculative interest and a widening of the
difference between prices for December and
May deliveries, consequent upon the increas-
ed cost Of carrying the grain. The market
for wheat averages 2 cents lower in Chicago;
and while in New York the price of cash
wheat is q of cent higher than it was week
ago, the quotation for the May option is q of
a cent lower. Corn prices have advanced 2334
cents per bushel in New York, and as re-
suit of speculative manipulation against the
outstanding short interest and a continued
light movement of supplies. There has been
a moderate export trade in corn, but the short
crop and the unwillingness of farmers to
make contracts for future deliveries of new
corn have prevented the usual December en-
gagements for new crop clearances during
the early months of the new year. The move
ment of spring wheat is fairly liberal, but
very little grain is coming out of the winter
wheat sections"

Railroad N 0tes.

President Ingalls, of the G. & O., stated
last week to a reporter Of the Richmond
State that his company had about conclud-
ed negotiations with the Virginia Midland
Ry. Co. to run it's cars over the V. NJ. road
from Gordonsville to Washington in per-
petuity. He said the G.. & O. had given
up the idea of building branch to Wash
ington from Crozet station as too costly.
He added that under the new arrangement,
G. & D. trains to Washington would leave
the main line at Gordonsville instead Of at
Charlottesville as at present. The state
ment that the V. M. section between Cor
louisville and Orange had been bought by
the C. & O. with an eye to making it a part
of future line to Quantico, was said by
MI. ingalls, to be entirely unfounded.
The B. & O. r. r. Co., will this year fol-
low it's annual custom of selling excursion
tickets at greatly reduced rates on all of
its lines during the Christmas holidays.
The sale of excursion tickets will begin at
all B. 81 D. stations east of the Ohio River,
December 9th, and will continue unit
January LIST, inclusive. All tickets will be
good for return passage until January 9Th,
1891, inclusive.

"He gets two small lightwoOd
pine logs, each eighteen feet in
length and places them parallel on
the ground, seven feet apart. These
are siIls. To these he nails rafters
seven feet long, to come together
and be nailed rafter fashion at the
top. Rafters of this length gives a
pretty steep pitch. He places them
three feet apart on the sills. he
next roofs from the ground up with
board plank nailed on weather-boarl
fashion, tue lap so made as to tur4
off the rain At the top he leaves
full length of the structure, an open
ing about one inch wide, for venIil
ating purposes, covering it with
board so that the water cannot gel
in. The ends be weather-board;
up in the usual way, leaving IN one
door to be closed with a shutter

THE CHRISTIAN WIFE.
BY ANXIOUS.

Who, when man from duty strays,
Can Woo them back to virtues ways ;
Not those who enter into strife
But the patient Christian wife.
Who, when chill rem of tender years,
Require our prayers, as well as tears,
To nurse and tit for future life,
Can fill the place of n Christian wife
Who, in home clrcl es best succeed,
BY loving patience, free from greed.
If not the woman of holy life,
The incompatible Christian wife.
Who, when wairing around deaths bed,
Can so gently and noiselessly tread,
As 10 show love, in all things rife,
Only the loving, Christian wife.
Who, when our Saviour was crucified.
Was first at the cross to bind his sidei
1t was lovely woman, devoid Of strife,
The ever watchful. Christian wife.
