EXCHANGE NOTES.

Winchester Leader Rogues often ex-
hibit peculiar pranks, but we were not
prepared to hear Of the stealing of a
board fence, upon which charge Ashury
Harris (copd) was tried at Police head
quarters last week, and sent mp tor W
days. We don't know what could have
possessed Asbnry to have committed sucn
a laborious theft unless be had nothing
to "plank" down for drink. Tie fence
belonged to Smith Williams, cold.
Staunton Tind'cafor : At the United
Brethren Conference at Churchyille, last
week, there were five brides in attendance
as Interested spectators--a'l of whom had
married u b. ministers.
The congregation of the u. B. Clutch
in this city are greatly delighted at the
return to them, by Conference, Of their
pastor, Rev. J. D. Donovan. The flourish
ing church, which last year moro than
doubled its membership, leaping from n
to 173, is The outcome of series of re-
vival meetings held by Mr Donovan
about three years ago in ball on Main
street. The seed planted there has
brought forth hourishing church with
membership of 173. a SABBATH School
with 236 scholars, handsome church
property worth $1,000.
Rockingham Register DR.. William j..
Points has brought suit in the Circuit
Court against Capt. Warren S. Lurty for
loss and damage resulting to him by the
resignation of Capt. Lurty as U. S. Mar.
shall for the territory of Oklahoma. --
Damage is fixed at $4,000. 1t will be re-
mcmbered that something less than, a
year ago Lurty received the appointment
ref, rred to from President Harrison, and
engaged DR.. Points to acc ompany him as
clerk, the contract between them being
for a salary of 81, 500 year. Capt. Lurly
resigned the marshallship in a few
months, aud in consequence DR. Points
lost bis position in the MarshaiPs Office.
1t IS alleged in the declaration fled that
in order to accept the clsrkshiP DR..
Points resigned his office Of Commissioner
in Chancery Of the Circuit Court, which
was his sole dependence for Support, and
which yielded him a competent llvci-
hood. The vacancy thus occasioned has
been filled, and Lurty's resignation in
Oklahoma virtually deprived him of all
means of support. Dispositions are being
taken in Oklahoma, and 1t is the purpose
Of the plaintiff to secure hearing at the
April term of the Circuit Court. Messrs
J. Z. and o. 3 Roller and c. d. Harrison
are DR.. Points attorneys, and Capt. Lurty
will be represented, we learn, by Messrs.
Strayer and Liggett
