was in the charge at Gettysburg with
Pickett S division. His wife, a daughter of
the late Geo. d. Fisher of Richmond, sur
wives him with five daughters, one of whom
married John I. Harris, il, Of Harrison
burg. Among his pail bearers was Col. II.
D. Whitcomb. Maj. Randolph had many
connections in Staunton.
The BraXton w. Va, Democrat says
that in week OF two All engineer corps
will commence surveying q route for the
proposed extension of the West Virginia
Il Plttsburg Ry. up Williams river,
through Pocahontas, and which will pro-
badly intersect the Chesapeake & Ohio at

The First Sale Of the Spring.

The first development sale of the Spring
will take place at GordOnsyille on next
Wednesday and Thursday, May 9th and
18th. The announcement of it by the Cor
don Land Company has appeared in this
paper and is familiar to it's readers. Cor
louisville has had it's future made certain
by the action of the Chesapeake & OHIO
Railway in securing the railroad from there
to Orange and making it q point on its
great through route from Cincinnati to
Washington City. But it has before it
another future with which the public
is not SO familiar-it will be point on the
Keysvile & Orange road which in time
will be section Of a great Southern route.
So that Gordonsville possesses railroad po-
sition unsurpassed i'll Virginia. The Cor
don Land Company has been active and lib
eral in securing industries for the new
development and altogether we think we can
say that no new town in the State has a
better prospect than the favorite old town
of Gordonsvile.

A Notable Amusement Event.
SOLOMON. HIS TEMPLE AND THE QUEE
OF SHEBA.

SOLOMON. HIS TEMPLE AND THE QUEEN
OF SHEBA.
John Robinson ever-popular and ever
welcome shows come to us this year with
such important accessions and augmenta-
lions as to overshadow all contemporary
amusement ventures. They have not only
materially strengthened their ring and hip
pOdrome performances and largely added to
their already vast menagerie. but are pro-
ducing an astounding new feature, which
can but commend itself 70 all classes of
patrons. We allude to the grand biblical
spectacle of Solomon, his Temple, and the
Queen of Sheba." Unerring in historical
accuracy, faithful in scenic delineations,
realistic in depletion of incidents and
events, impressiyely grand in pageantic
effects, magnificent in costumes and ap-
pointments, enhancing in musical features,
bewitching in beautiful ballets, and eXcit-
ing in games and chariot races, this UMPIRE
cedentedly sublime spectacle will commend
itself to every visitor. AS a contrast to
this notably artistic production, and for the
especial edifcation and delight of the young
ell members of the audience, the mirth
provoking and ever-acceptable pantomime
of ''Humpty- Dumpty, his Fortunes, Mis-
fortunes and Mishaps," will find place in
the programme Of the Robinson show, and
will be presented by an unexceptionable
company of especially engaged, skilled and
comic pantomimists, and replete with new,
original and highly diverting tricks, trans
formations and surprises. The show will
exhibit at Staunton, Tuesday, May 18th.

pOuulariZlne Study.

The lecture on European history, illus
trated by pictures of noted scenes cast on
a canvass, and which scenes are described
from personal visit, is a mode of popular
ling study which has been adopted by Rev.
Dr.. James Nelson with great success. The
lectures on his European tour and the his
tory of the spots he visited, of which he is
delivering a regular course at the Staunton
Female Seminary, have proved both inter
esting and instructive to the pupils and
have made the study Of history very attrac
tive. 1t is a method that captures the mag
nation and holds the attention, and Dr.
Nelson has a remarkable faculty for string
ing the solid facts of history along very
bright and interesting thread of narrative

Serious Accident to a Valuable Man.

i On Saturday afternoon, MI. VIM. Nc
Keever, one of our most experienced ma
chinists, undertook to haul out to the
grounds of the Staunton Terra Gotta and
Fire Brick Company their great boiler
which had just arrived from Pennsylvania.
He hitched to it a Traction engine. All
went well until, after mounting the hill on
the Parkersburg pike on the Western edge
of town, it commenced descending the other
side. The boiler rushed down on the en-
CINE and pinned him to it. With great
presence of mind Mr.. McKeever put on
steam and ran the engine away from the
boiler, but not until he had suffered severe
ly from the crush. He was taken home
where DR.. II. M. Patterson was called in.
While his injuries which are internal are
painful, there is nc reason to believe that
they are dangerous.
