THE SNOW STORM-REV. II. R. SMITH
THE SICK LIST, &C.
Reported for the Stanton VINDICAToR1
STEELE's TAVERN, March 1.-The
snow storm Sunday and Sunday night
would have done credit to Dakota. Yes.
terday morning the ground was covered
eight or ten inches deep. The wind blew
the snow about SO violently that it was
not easy to get the exact depth on level
but all agreed that it was deep enough. ,
Late sown wheat does not look very
promising in this part Of the county, but
there are many fields that look very well.
The Rev. H. r. Smith who preached at
Shemar1ah church for three OF four years
but went to Abingdon early last fall, spent
the night last week with the Rev. A. II.
Hamilton. He was on his way to Brook
Ign to visit his daughter, Mrs. Roberts, and
will probably return next month to resume
work in the Presbytery of Lexington.
There will be communion services at Mt

Death of the Bell Ringer.

There were few figures more familiar to
the Augusta county people on court days
and the Staunton people on all days and
nights, than that of Henry Jefferson, the
colored bell ringer of the town, who was
taken with grippe on Thursday night last
and died Sunday morning. He had marched
the streets bell in hand for the last twenty
years, ringing for church fairs, sales, meet
ings, everything to which the promoters
wished to call attention. His costumes in
that time have been many and striking.
perhaps the most striking of all being when
he appeared in the red garb of Mephisto-
philes, in ringing up an audience for the old
town hall when the genial Robert Hill was
the Manager. His good nature and impen-
durability to ridicule, was marked, and
greatly added to his success in his queer
profession, as did the stentorian quality OF
his voice, and his stock Of repartees to the
quips of the lrreverent populace was mex
haustibIe.
