The Stock Board

card was laid ON our table last week
by Mr.. Ernest Howard, President of the
stock Board, at a time when we were
very much engaged, with the request
that we publish it. CHANGING over it
hastily. without criticising its phraseol-
ogy, we responded in the affirmative.
and not again noticing it, it appeared
in the VIRGINIAN last week. 1t was in
reference to paragraph that had APP
peared in the VIRGINIAN the week be-
fore purporting to correct some stock
quotations that had appeared in the
Spectator, written by Mr.. Howard, and
handed to the foreman of the VIRGINIAN
without submitting it first to the editor.
In the card of last week, Mr.. Howard
used the following language:
Editor Valley Hirginian:
Dear SiI-The authority delegated to you to
publish notice i'll your issue Of last week re-
Virginia Stock Exchange as they appeared in
the spectator OF last week, was granted owing to
G S ,ypograptcat errors, which have since
MY motlve In publishing correction in your
paper was to reach the public at the earliest pos
sible moment and thereby protect the Exchange
from any injustice. Your paper appearing the
next day, it was quite natural for ME to seek
your columns
The legitimate inference from this Ian
guage is, that we requested and Mr..
Howard granted" the privilege Of pub
fishing the paragraph, purporting to
correct alleged erroneous quotations in
the Spectator, when the fact is we knew
nothing about the errors, and cared less.
and never intinated, directly or indi-
rectly, that we desired to publish the
paragraph, and was in no way interested
in the correction" or the paragraph.
The appearance of the paragraph and
the card in the VIRGINIAN was the re-
suit of being sohmuch occupied with
other duties, that we did not scrutinize
them before they were published. The
facts are as above stated.

A New Enterprise.
James H. Blackley, Esq, has sold his
commission house and ware-rooms on
Middlebrook avenue, opposite the G. &
0. railroad depot, to party of gentle
men for $1,000. We learn that it is the
purpose to organize a company to erect
and run a large merchant mill with ca
pacity of 200 barrels of flour day made
by the roller process: From inquiries
we could not learn whether the project
had assumed definite shape or not, but
the fact of the purchase of the building
would indicate that there was something
in it. Mr.. Triplet, of Shenandoah, it
is said, is one of the leading spirits in
the suggested enterprise.

Hotel Altenont.

The drawing of the hotel Altemont.
to be erected ON the property of the
Staunton Development Company is now
to be seen in the office of the company,
opposite the C. & O. depot. It is of the
Queen Anne style of architecture, to be
built of Augusta limestone and brick,
and will contain 100 rooms. 1t will be
finished in the highest style of the
mechanics art, and OF the very best
materials, with all modern conveniences
and comforts. The purpose is to fur
nish a hotel equal to any in the South,
mer and winter can find all the conven-
ieces and comforts that the ingenuity of
man, in these modern days of aesthetic
taste and practical wants, can devise.
The President has been. ma
turing the plans for the Improvement of
the splendid properties of the company,
and this plan and drawing is one of the
results. When it is completed it will be
not only an ornament to the city, but
will be desideratum for the travelling
and comfort and health seeking public
that this part of Virginia much needs.
Narrow Escape.
Our old friend, Daniel Fishburne,
Esq, living on Middle River, had a
narrow escape from serious injury last
week. He purchased new and hand
some buggy from Harvey Burdett, in
which to take his ease in going to and
from Staunton and elsewhere. Going
home, his horse became frightened at
the top of the buggy. That was let
down, but when he neared his home,
the animal looking back over the blind
of the bride, got a glimpse of the top
again, and started off. Mr.. F. got out.
but the horse moved on, and holding on
to the reins, Mr.. F. was thrown to the
ground. and had his hold loosened. He
was considerably shaken up. but not
seriously hurt. The horse kept on past
the house and held up only from ia
tigue, in the woods beyond. Singular
to say, the buggy was not damaged ex-
cept the point of one of the shafts was
broken.

first symptoms are hoarseness; then the
