dled last Saturday nlgnt Oh the lOck-JaWi
caused by an injury to its foot some days
previous. This colt took the premium at
the Woodstock FAIR last Fall.
Mr.. X. W. Jones, Mt. Jackson, Va, has
contracted to build for Mr.. Jas. Cox, of
this place, large stable, on the "Belew
farm" fronting the railroad midway be-
tween Mt. Jackson and Edinburg recently
purchased by Mr.. c. In size it will be
1G0x62 feet, and built after the plan of
the large stock stable at Cleveland, Ohio,
which Mr.. Jones examined not long since.
He will also build large carriage house,
feed rooms, offices, &C., and a six-room
tenant house on the farm; as well as
make considerable changes-add wide
porches, bath-house, &c in the handsome
residence Mr.. Cox recently purchased Of
Mr.. Frank Pennybacker at Mt. Jackson.
Mr.. C. expects to occupy his property and
reside in Mt. Jackson early next spring,
and extensively engage in rearing fine
horses.
The frame timber is now being sawed at
the saw-mlll of Mr. L. P. Henkel near
this place. and Mr.. Jones went to North
Carolina this week, to select lot of
lumber, for these buildings, which will be
the largest and most complete in the Val
ley OF. Virginia,
Basic City AdraRce A valuable har-
yester knotter has been invented by
Edwin c. Eluchor OF Stanton. 1t is a
knotter for cord binder, having only four
pieces. 1t IS the most simple and COM
plete one ever gotten out, and is great
success, ying a perfect, hard knot, cuts
the Irvine and holds the severed end
ready to make the circuit around the next
bundle, then rejecting the bundle from
the binder tied up in a nice manner.
Superintendent Pearson of the Basic
City Match Factory. is in high feather
these days over the success which has at
tended the opening Of his plant down on
Essex avenue.
Between thirty five and fifty boys and
gir,s are employed, and matches are made
at the rate of sixty gross per day. They
are good matches, too, und it takes a
small sized cyclone to extingulsh one OF
them after it has been fairly iguited.
Orders are rapidly coming in, and Mr..
Pearson tells The Adrance that be can find
a ready market fer all the matches he can
possibly manufacture. The jobbing
trade, particularly, will be closely looked
after, and it is probable that travelling
salesman will soon be put on the road to
introduce the goods.
Slrasburg TirginiGn and Ndcs The con-
diticn of Mr.. Jos. Strosnider, who resides
near this place and who received kick
from horse recently that it was thought
would prove fatal, is favorable to physical
recovery, but we learn that be is at time'
mentally affected and that be seems to b
unconscious of his movements that it re
quiros, in fact, several persons to contro
him at these periods. An operation may
yet be performed to relieve the brain o
any pressure that may be upon it.
We are infoi m I'd that Messrs. Ryan &
Mcdonald, who are operating Stickley'
Quarries near Strasburg, where yonn;
McInturff was killed and "Bud" Keiste
and Arthur Miller manned for life severa
weeks since at blast explosion, hav'
made tenders of sums of money to tn
widow of McInturff and to the othe
parties named above in consideration
the losses sustained by the accident a
luded to. In the case Of Mrs. McInturi
widowed by the accident, the sum
1850 was rendered and received by her,
This amount, we understand, covered
debt overhanging her homo. Bad. Keistt
and Arthur Miller were offered 500 cas-
in hand and settlement of their doctor
and board bills, and guarantee OF Ell
ployment in the service of the firm. Thi
proposal was accepted by Keister and d.
clined by Miller. We do not know th'
these sums were offered as compromises
any claims for damages, or that ground
for suits for damages exist. II no
Messrs. Ryan & Mcdonald have been cor
mendably liberal, perhaps but il culpab
carelessness caused the accident and the
are liable therefor, then the widow OF Il
| man killed and Keister are poorly pait
yea, not paid at all, while Miller act
with better Judgment in declining q
tender. We would 60 far to avoid
r Implication that would do Messrs. Ryan
Mcdonald injustice and we would
: quick to give them credit for genera
act. We shall gladly note tie fact tn
. these gentlemen were actuated by gene
= ous motives, il the facts sustain the
/, sertiOn.
