The Boyd Cattle Case.

Ed. INDEX: The Boyd cattle case,
we'll known TO old settlers, is being re.
freshed this week, and last, by the pro-
ceedings in the probate court. Boyd,
in the service of Mcclure and Cochran,
eight years ago, ran in Southern cattle,
south of Sharon, and destroyed some of
the best herds of cattle in the county.
The intruding cattle were taken in pos
session by the sheriff. After many
suits the cattle were sold, and Boyd &
Go. got the money. They also got a
Judgment for some six Thousand dollars
against the sheriff's bondsmen, which
they are now trying to collect.
The dark and wicked record which
gave them this judgment will be made
known to the people soon. Thirty thous-
and dollars would not pay the damage
which those little ticky cattle did this
county. aud to think of the men who
suffered this great loss, and kept the
shot guns of the cattle and the men
who ran them In, now being asked to
pay for those cattle, IS an outrage un-
equaled in the history of this county.

Letter From Texas.

DEAR INDEX: l have just received
your thrice welcome columns, bringing
the news from my home and friends.
1t was eagerly devoured, and now re-
turn my thanks. 1t seems from the
news of your columns that Medicine
Lodge has taken on new lite since my
departure for the Lone Star state. 1t
made me feel like wanted to be back
again among friends at home.
Sweet home! the abode of love and joy,
Where the purest affections find employ,
And where perfect humanity will ultimately
rest,
In that glorious land which God has blest"
am in the midst of a glorious meet
ing at this place, GAINESVILLE. Fourteen
additions to date, and large audiences;
the large Christian church, the largest
church house in the city, will not ac-
| commodate the people who were anx-
ious to hear the old, old story. l was
told that at least hundred persons
went away last night after the ushers
had filled every nook and corner. After
song by the choir, the audience listen
| for one hour to sermon on 1.-The One
Baptism" preached by request. AT
the close, five young ladies came for
ward and made the good confession. !
| shall remain here until the last of this
week, when shall go to Point Pleasant
to fill an appointment on Sunday, and
will remain there until the 9TH of May.
when shall turn my face toward Medi-
cine Lodge, so as to be ready for my
appointment at the opera house on the

have had Very pleasant visit although
haYe preached nearly every night
since left home

spects, and in others l do not like it SO
| well. When it starts in to rain here it
can beat any country ever saw. Every
thing is much earlier here than in Bar
Der; grass is fine and corn is all up, and
plowed over in some places; peaches
are about as large as partridge eggs;
roses all in full. bloom, and apples Will
soon do to make apple dumplings, (of
which have never had as many as l
could eat up to this writing) L wish to
say to my friends in the Lodge and vi
cinity that will preach at the Christ
ian church on the 10th of May, at the
usual hour, and you are all courtenusly

A Valuable Property at Auction.

1t is a general complaint that available
building ground wherein to erect residences
in Stanton is scarce, and, what is worse, is
growing scarcer. Of course it can be had
for money, but the effect of the rapid
growth Of the city and the demand for eli
gible residence sites for a new population
that has been brought here by the intro
up. 1t is hard matter for man with a
moderate amount OF money, to build a
house, if he has also to buy the lot. On
Saturday, November 18th, there will be
some slight relief to this strained situation
made by eighteen well located building lots
known as Madison Square" situated near
the Virginia Female Institute, in quar-
ter where streets are being rapidly opened
and which already has convenient thorough
fares. The lots have each afront of 43 feet
and a depth of 125 feet and. a most impor-
tant thing to the purchasers, who want
them to build houses on, they will be sold
with building restrictions. The location
is desirable, and the property has a present
as well as future value GnaC Will make IL
sell well. The only fear to q home builder
is that it will sell too WELL We hope tor
the general benefit Of the town that the
SPECTATORS will be absent and that these
desirable building sites will be in reach Of
the scores Of men in Sttuntoa who are
waiting for an opportunity to buy build
ing site at a reasonable Fate, and put up {.
pretty home on it. These eighteen lots
ought to have on them eighteen pretty
houses belonging to as many different men.

At the unwilling of the Jackson statue

business, and the VINDICAToR mentioned
at the time that Gen. Echols had been rob
bed Of his pocket book which contained
some valuable papers and about $40 il
money. The Lexington County News OF
Saturday says "On Tuesday colored

yard at the depot, when in a corner, behind
a post and underneath a small pile Of coal
he found General Echols' long missing

one end and the opening adjoined the coal
yard gate. At the time of the unwilling

The Elections.

THE VOTES OF STAUNTON AND AUGUSTA.
The election, Tuesday, was as quiet an
uninteresting in Staunton and Augusta
county as if there had been no voting
going on. In fact very little voting was
done anywhere, either town OIL county.
The VINDICAToR' special Geographic
arrangement furnished the people OF the
city with the news Tuesday night up to 2
O'Clock A. NJ, and Notwithstanding the
cold weather and an occasional spit OF
snow the bulletin board was the centre of
a crowd. All the inquiry however was
about New Y ork, Ohio, Iowa and Massa-
chussets; everybody felt that Virginia was
all right and no questions were asked about
her. On Wednesday the telegraphic news
was posted on the board till all the States
named were decided.
Insthis city and county the vote, as there
was no contest, was very small. The fol
lowing is the full vote for Koiner and Will
liams. At some precincts one was some
times ahead OF behind the other a vote OF
two, but their total vote in the county
summed up the same thing, 1,016.
The following is the vote in the county
to which we add the two precincts in the
city-Beuerley Manor, Peaco's Mill, "a:

Dear Sir:-I am in receipt of your favor of
the 31st asking me to be present at the Worlds
Fair Convention of Virginia at Norfolk on
the 18th and Goth Of this month and favor you
with some remarks. [ regret exceedingly
that have an appointment of long standing

especially if anything that | could say OF do
would impress upon them the importance of
taking an interest in the Worlds Fair at

ing the resources of the State. l think it is
your one opportunity and that you ought to
embrace it, | hope the Convention will be a
success and that the Legislature will make a
large and liberal appropriation and that
Virginia will be properly represented. With
the development of her mines and railroads.
she is fast coming to the front and it will not
do to keep her light hidden.
