If You Kill the Robins

YOU WILL BE PROSECUTED AND PUNISH
ED UNDER THE LAWS OF VIRGINIA.
A few days ago we published the follow
ing extract from the game laws of Virgin
ia, and called the attention of those killing
robins, to it.
cit shall be unlawful for any person to kill
OF capture Woodcock between the first day of
April and the first day of November; or, at
any time, to kill the turkey buzzard OF black
buzZard, OF to capture for sale OF transport
tation, or kill the knocking bird, OF kill or
capture the brown thrush, cardinal or red
bird, aoood robin, blue bird, house martin, OF
startling, OF destroy their nests
Some OF cur cotenporaries have been
discussing what constitutes the s-wood
robin" and have come to the conclusion that
it is not the ''robin redbreast," and that
that pretty and useful little bird is left to the
mercy of the hunters. If any hunters in
Augusta county accept that conclusion and
shoot the robin redbreast they will have to
suffer the penalty Of the law. The mean
ing and intent Of this law was settled a
year ago by correspondence with the two
headquarters of law and science. MI.

Dear Sir:-Yo OH letter of March l has been

DEVELOPMENT Notes.

An editorial writer in the Buena Vista
Advocate, Col. J. G. Shields if we are rot
mistaken, takes the entrance of that town
Cd IT'S third year as the occasion for a re-
view of it's remarkable history. OF the lib
crafty of the people of Staunton and Au-
gusta in taking it's stock when it was first
put on the market, the account says:
1t was the fourth Monday and Tuesday of
January, and the time for holding the month
ly term of Augusta County Court, and in the
week succeeding the Franklin Hall meeting,
when the lamented John T. Stuart, and other
representatives of the Buena Vista Company,
appeared upon the court green OF Augusta
county and on the streets of good old Staun-
ton. From early morn to the going down of
the sun the good people OF the Queen City of
the Valley and OF the empire county of the
State, during those two days handed in their
one hundred thousand dollars of the stock
nearly one-third Of the entire amount placed
upon the market. The progress was remark
able, and as it was in Staunton, so it was
wherever the new story Of progress was told.
And, the account might have added, there
was not a man in Staunton who touched it
that didn't make money out of it, and there
are at least a score of men here now. who,
in that day had nothing, and by getting
into the Buena Vista stock among the
early birds realized comfortable little for
tunes.
1t is stated in the Highland Recorder
that stock company has been formed
which has acquired Al ,273 acres OF land in
Bath county on which the Glendy farm is
situated. The property is located near
Goshen on the G. & O., and the capital
stock is $600,0
The firm OF G. G. Gooch and r. S. Ryan
have taken the contract for the grading of
the Berryville Land and Improvement Co. S
land and were to begin the work on April
LIST.
An Incident.
The sudden death from heart disease of
MI. James G. McCue, near Alton, on
March 18th, was noticed at the time. An
obituary of him in the Richmond Dispatch
of Wednesday, has the following incident :
On March 18th, just three days before his
death, he was called to Staunton on business
After reaching his hotel he heard that cele-
DRAFTED opera troupe would give an entertain
ment that night i'll the city. and being a lover
OF music he started to hear this opera. On
reaching the street he heard churcIl-bell
ringing. Guided by some subtle influence he
turned and went to church instead of the ope-
IA. The services were to him of prophetic
character, but how little he realized it ! The
text was Matthew XIV, 49, "Watch, there
FORE for We know neither the day nor the hour
wherein the Son of Man cometh" And strange
to say his three favorite hymns-viz., Come
Thou Fount, There is Fountain Filled with
Blood, and How Firm a foundation-were
used. On his return home-his last night on
EARTH his last hour with his loved ones-While
seated with his family around his Preside he
related to them these incidents, and seemed
deeply impressed with the fact that Divine
hand had guided and richly rewarded him.
The troupeplaying at the Opera House
March 18th, WAS Janauscheks dramatic
company.
