The Democrats of this place are JUS
cushing and all because the County
Democracy have served notice on Tam
many that unless the Court House pre-
cinct rolls up uniform majority for all
of the Democratic candidates, that Tam
many's favorite, who is an aspirant for
congressional CATERS, will not get the sup
port of the County Democracy in the
County convention whish will send dele-
gates to tho Congressional conyention.-
This looks Ike all combinations will be
smashed into smithereens, don't it
1t is rumored here that the B. & o.
night operator at Staunton will wed a
charming young lady of this place about
the FIRST ofJune. It's said the attend
ants have already been engaged. When
We saw Tommy about ten days ago in
Staunton, he failed altogether to enlight
en- us on this solemn and delicate subject,
land We thought he acted in a suspicious
" sheepish manner,) but he may have
intended to do 50 and was enly trying TO
summon up courage, as he insisted upon
our stopping over for later train. Vi
course it is not expected that Rosa Pain
fer will mention this matter to Capt.
Smith or even let Tommy read the HERALD
Of this week.
We know a number OF persons here
who are jast dy Jog to catch fish with a
dip net, but refrain for fear OF Icing re-

ladder or period of time being specified in
which the owners OF the dams shall put
in said ladders. It provides that any one
feeling himself aggrieved by reason Of
such ladder not being erected can put in
tho ladder and collect the cost from the
owner of the dan. This no one seems
willing to do, and the result is faIT
sample of the old saying, "what is every
on,'s business is ne ones business" How
ever, tbs law IL very PLAIN in regard to
the fine in which it is unlawful to take
fish in auy way bat with hook and line,
and in this part is just as strong aud as
much IN effect as any on the statute book
and failure to report volatOrs is tho only
reason they have not been punished. We
believe that il the coming Legislature
will amend the law so that the ladders
shall he put in at the expence of the
counties in which the dams are situated
it will give general satisfaction, and the
law will not be violated to the same ex'
tent or with the same lmpunity rs now.
Now let tie hook and line fishermen go to
work and get up petitions asking the Leg
