A Foul Murder.

A horrible murder was committed neal
Timberville, Rockingham county, on
Saturday night about 9 O'Clock. Our
information is that Adam Miller, farmer
aged about so years, GOOD citizen and
inOffensiye man who resided alone with
the exception of his wife who was about
the same age with himself, had retired to
his bed when he was called to the door of
his home, and Immediately upon his
opening the door be was shot through
the body near the heart, with a ball of
80 calibre, the poor old mau falling cad
without a grJan. 1t was generally
known throughout that sec ticn that Mr..
Miller nearly always kept some money in
his house, but as no attempt at robbery
followed the fatal shot the motive that
actuated the fendish william is enveloped
in darkness. Suspicion points strongly
to person living in that section but SO
far no evidence has been found that would
warrant his arrest. The scene of crime
is in one of the most peaceful and law
abiding population in the State, and the
people are naturally greatly excited and
worked up over the matter and they are
determined to hunt down aud bring to
justice the dastarlly perpetrator of the
foul crime.

A Brave Bow.

A few days ago fye-year-old daughter
of Mr. CHARLES Sutton, near Shepherdstown
w. Va, while playing near an old well
fell in and dropped forty feet into the
mud and the small amount of water that
was at the bottom On account of the
fear of foul air none of the men were
willing to 60 down ntO the well, and
the eight year-old brother of the little
girl was the first to volunteer his help.
lie was let down into the well with a
rope and after fastening it around his
sister she was raised from the bottom
and taken out in safety, with scarcely a
scratch upon her. Then the rope was
lowered to the boy, who had just
strength enough to fasten the rope
around his own body before he became
unconscious from the foul air. He too
wa drawn out, but it was couple of
hours before he recovered consciousness.

The Dronpth

The intensely dry weather that has
hing over this section for so many weeks
past, and that has cut down so ruthlessly
what had promised, at one time, to be
one Of the most magnificent corn crops
eyer known in this section, still continues,
and, in consequence all farm work is at a
stand still 1t would take a powerful
traction engine to pull an ordinary sized
plow through most of our land, so hard and
dry has it become by reason OF the long
drought and the intense heat.
The whole aspect of the country seems
to have undergone a distressing change.
The fields which should have presented
the beautiful and cheering dark green of
midsummer are now as brown and bare
as if a simeon of the desert had been
blowing over them for weeks. The leaves
on NJ any OF the trees are turning brown
and dropping to the ground, while all
foliage is covered with the grey dust that
every wind raises from the pGrched earth.

Notwithstanding the severe drought
which has prevailed so long, and the
long spell Of intense heat, which for sew
eral decades, at least, has hadno parallel.
the health of this locality, in 4 general
way is good, not much sickness OF a
serious nature being amongst us; the
mortality among our citizens during the
summer being much below the average
when compared with quite a number Of
past years. For this we should be thank
ful to Him who doeth all things well.
Peaches arc selling in this market at
from $l.00 to $40 per bushel, according
to size and quality. The crop is not a
large one, and the demand is quite brisk.
Capt. II. S. Long, our efficient street
superintendent, has been working 4
large force of hands in the southern pOr-
ton Of the town, and has added much to
the appearance, as well as the improve
ment of this important highway leading
to the churches and public schools. In
matters OF street improvement the Cap
tain is a trogan, and the council could
probably not get another man to fill his
position in quite long time.

That a lecturer he has few

We have had number Of light local

E. T. Broyles Admitted to Bail

Mr L. T. Broyles, of Luray, collector OF
internal Revenue for this district, and
well known to many of our people, and
who it will be remembered shOt D. B.
Snyder, several weeks ago. was ad-
nit ed to bail a few days ago by Z. T.
BoOton, judge of the Page County Court,
in the sum Of $500. Drs Hudson, Ke-
Ter, Amiss aud Brumback, the attending
physicians III on Mr.. Snyder, testified that
in their opinions he was now out of
danger so far as they could judge, aud
that Mr.. Broyles, who had severe hem
orrhage of the lungs several years ago,
could not longer be confined in the county
Jail without serious danger to his health.
Upon these facts bail was allowed. His
case will not be before the court for trial
till the September term Of the county
court.
