Reunion of Old Sailors and Soldiers.

Two coming important events OF interest to
sailors and soldiers of the late war will be the
Reunion of the Naval Veterans at Baltimore
September 18th to 18th, and the Encampment
of the Grand Army of the Republic at Wash
ington, commencing September Goth, imms-
.liately after the Sailors Reunion. Interest
in the reunion will be heightened by the pres
ence of the White Squadron in the harbor of
Baltimore. The G. A. R. Encampment will
be the occasion of the greatest military assem-
blage in Washington since the Grand Review
of 1865, following the fall of Richmond. For
both of these events the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad will sell tickets at greatly reduced
rates. Tickets will be sold from September
18th to Goth inclusive, valid for return journey
until October 10th. During the Encampment
at Washington the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road will run Excursions daily to Gettysburg,
Harper's Ferry and the Virginia battlefield
to all of which points tickets will be sold at
low rates. The Baltimore and Ohio is the
familiar route to thousands of veterans who
travelled over it early in the sixties as raw re-
cruits to join the ranks.
For detailed information as to time of trains
| and rates apply to nearest B. & o. Agent

DEATH OF FRANK LUCAs-BARN OF WIN. d. GLOVER
DESTROYED BY LIGHTNING.

DEATH OF FRANK LUCAS-BARN OF wM. d. GLOVER
DESTROYED BY LIGHTNING.
Mr.. Frank Lucas, son of Mr. Peter Lucas a
highly respected citizen, died at his home near
Newport, Va, last week. He was a young
man in the full bloom of manhood. He was
an exceedingly industrious, honest young man.
He went few weeks ago to attend his brother
VIM, who was very i'll with fiux. He died.
and when Frank came home, he also took his
bed from the same fell disease. We would
suppose he was about 40 years old. He mar
ried daughter of J. Frank Davis, of Staun-
ton. She is a most estimable lady They have
a large family of children nearly all small.
He was inferred on Wednesday last at New
port. This is the second son Mr.. Lucas ST.,
has lost within month or so, and the blow
falls heavily upon him in his declining days.
He has the sympathy of all in this the great
est sorrow of his life, The bereaved wife and
children have the sympathies and prayers of
all who know them, and of all who are
cognizant of their sad bereavement As Mr..
Lucas was young and strong always having
been a healthy man. his death was surprise
to his many friends and acquaintance. We
hear two of his children are bed fast from the
same disease, fux. His familiar face and
jovlal voice will be seen and heard no more
around the home he had worked SO hard to
possess He was sterling young man. and
the community is a great loser, while we
trust Heaven has gained one more soul to aid
in praising the Lamb that taketh away the
sins of the world
A distressing occurrence here last Thursday
evening aroused the citizens, and great excite
ment prevailed for awhile. A heavy storm
came up and there was sharp lightning, which
struck the new barn of Mr. Vim. B. Glover
near here and consumed it, together with near
1000 bushels of wheat, which was just thresh
ed. The hay was all baled, having just finished
the baling the day previous to the fire. Mr.
Glover had very large fine barn on the same
site and foundation, which was burned some
years ago. He built this one and now loses it.
We hear that he has considerable insurance
on the crop and barn. However, it is very SAD
indeed to have two fine large barns burned
within 5 years on the same foundation.
Mrs. Morgan, her son and daughter, Mrs
Gale, are just from Indiana and are visiting
at Mr.. Jno. Hangers near here. R.

THE BALDWIN DISTRICT FAIR.

The Baldwin District Fair for this year (he
25th) was held last week-Tuesday, Wednes-
day, Thursday, and Friday. The first day, as
usual, was not very numerously attended. On
Wednesday there would have been very large
attendance had not the rain prevented. On
Thursday morning, the prospect for fair day
was very promising, and very great number
were present; but unfortunately the rain again
poured down in the afternoon, making it inn
possible to give the full programme of that
day, a part of which had to be postponed till
the next y-Friday-which was favorable.
and the programme was filed making the
last day one of the most interesting and en-
joyable of the whole exhibition. But for the
unfavorable weather, the Fair would have
been in every respect quite success, for the
exhibition of horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, poul-
try, carriages pianos, grains vegetables, fruits,
seeds, articles of household manufacture,
needle-work, and thousand and one other
articles, was very good, and the entertain
ments in the way of equestrianship,, horse
tanning; ballooning, horse-racing, athletic per-
formances, &C., was better than usual. The
balloon ascension on Wednesday by Miss Le-
Clare alias Mrs H. l.. Williams, was very
successful. On Thursday, in consequence OF
the rain, which made the balloon and para
chute wet the ascension was not success.
On this occasion the ascension was made by
Mr.. Williams. After ascending some distance.
he severed the parachute, but it failed to open
till he had descended some distance, and not
in time to save him from being injured by the
fall 1t was thought at first that he was fatal
ly injured, but fortunately he was not. On
Friday the ascension was made by his wife,
which was very pretty one. After ascend
ing some 800 feet or more the balloon drifted
to the east over the city, and came down on
Mr. Fuller's house on North Augusta street.
The parachute was not released from the bal
loon, which was inflated with hot air and
gradually descended as the enclosed air be-
came cool Mrs. Williams struck the roof or
dormer window with such force as to bruise
her leg and hip considerably.
Some think that the most successful rain
maker is the Baldwin District Fair. which
seldom fails to be attended by rain. 1t seems
that when the time is liked for the Fair that
Jupiter Pluvius at once makes preparation to
make an exhibit of his power to cause rain to
fall copiously in the driest weather.
We publish in this issue a list of the premi-
ums awarded, which will give good idea of
the exhibits made.

bilty and will give you a new lease on life.

Murder In Rockingham.

On Saturday night, August Goth, Ada m Mil
Ter, who was 79years, 2months and II days old,
who shot and instantly killed at his house near
the North Mountain Road abont miles from
Timberville, Rockingham county. He was an
inoffensiye man, without an enemy, SO far as
known, and lived alone with his wife, who is
nearly as old as himself. No effort was made
to rob the house, and no motive for the awful
crime is known, and, so far, there seems to be
no clue to the murderer. He was shot with a
pistol and the ball entered near his heart, caus-
ing death almost instantly. He was shot just
as he opened the door.
