Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
MARSHALL, Aug 2G.-All in all our
summer has been very hot, and the re-
suit has been some sickness. Mr.. VIM.
Lawler and Mr.. Kibler are ill with
typhoid fever, and Mr.. Jefries, most
estimable citizen, continues very sick.
While around us there has been q lack
of rain we havn had abundant showers,
and the corn crop will be the finest
gathered for many years past.
As usual, at this season, Marshall and
neighborhood has crowds of visitors
and strangers at nearly every home
stead and the roads to Warrenton and
to the Fauquier Springs are daily
throngcd by buggies, wagonettes and
vehicles of every description.
Fine horses are noticeable features
of our section of Virginia of late years.
The annual colt show at Upperville has
contributed largely to improve this
class of stock. Who will deny that a
glorious future is in store for old Vir-
ginia before the close Of the 10Th cen
tury-if her citizens will be homestay-
ing and Industrious
Just now the assessor is about and
soon the taIgatherer will collect from
the farmer fair cash value on all his
grain, tobacco and other agricultural
products. Said farmer is bound to
vote for Cleveland.
The patrons of Bethel Academy are
encouraged by the efforts of the new
Superintendent Major R. Mcintyre to
introduced the revised infantry tactics
of the military academy at West Point.
There is hope also to make Warrenton
centre of course of lectures on the
university extension plan SO eloquently
plead for by Professor VIM. Taylor
Thornton, in the Bedford Lnder
columns, and at the trifing cost for the
entire course of lectures of 120 a sea-
son.
Just now our small boys delight is
the circus and annual show paper. The
marvel is whether the actual show will
give more pleasure to said boy than the
pictures at present do.

regret that no bush meeting will be
held in upper Fauquier this summer.

LONDON, Aug. 27.-All night long
the rescuing parties kept up their work
at the Parkslip pit, the scene of the
disastrous explosion at Bridgend,
Wales, yesterday. At o'clock this
morning they had penetrated 800 yards
into the main shaft. In all this dis
lance not a sign of life was discovered.
1t is thought that the bodies of the men
who were working in inner recesses OF
the mine will never be recovered.
AT half-past o'clock this afternoon
another dispatch was received from
Bridgend stating that thirty-nine of the
imprisoned miners had been rescued
and brought to the pit-head.
DUBLIN, Aug. 27.-South Dublin

burned to the ground. Adjoining the

in flames. The guests were panic
stricken and fled in every direction.
Many of them narrowly escaped with
their lives. The damage done ~ the

ANOTHER PAIR OF S1AMEsE TWINS.

ANOTHER PAIR OF SIAME5E TWINS.
That strange freak of nature known as
'the Siamese twins has, it appears,
been repeated in Orissa. The "Orissa
twins" are described as two little Uriya
girls of about five years old. When
last heard of, says the London News,
they were leaving by steamer for this
country on their way to the worlds
fair at Chicago, though they will first
be exhibited in London. They are, it is
stated, firmly joined together and if one
is fed both are satisfied. When they
were in early infancy at Hoapara, in
the interior, the native villagers looked
upon them as the incarnation of the
devil, and their parents were boycotted
by their caste people. The story is that
the fathers first impulse was to sepa-
rate them by cutting the sac which
Joins them together, and the mark made
in the attempt is still visible. A wealthy
tehsilder of the district, however, inter
vened, Ketter Naick, the father of the
twins, is reported to be now steadily
growing rich, The Siamese twins, Chang
and Eng, were, it will be remembered,
of the male sex. They were born in
1871 and died in America within two
hours of each other, in January, 1874.

The MASSACHUSETTS negroes have
resolved that if the republicans of that
State do not recognize their equality by
giving them place on the State repub-
lican ticket, they will not help to
elect that ticket next November. Their
threat will probably be ineffective, for
Massachusetts, like all other northern
republicans, think negroes are good
enough to hold office in the southern,
but not in the northern States. Then,
too, if the Massachusetts, republicans
know as much about negroes as those
of Virginia do, they are confident that
every negro who shall go to the polls
next November in their State will vote
the republican ticket, whether the name
of Il negro be on it or not.

from the bite of a rattlesnake, and the
other by drowning. The affair occur

to a spring near the house for water,
taking with her the baby. She had
left the house but short time when
screams attracted her attention, and
Fastening there found two of her child

hen under the house had bitten them.
Mrs. Wilson hurried back to the spring

crawled into the spring and been
drowned. When the mother returned
