Rumor says, that Mr.. J. L. Stirewalt,
contemplates opening a general store of
merchandise 10 the old I. L. Williamson
store-house, if so, we bespeak in advance
a liberal share OF the general spending
public.
"Stonewalp Jackson's commits took
possession Of this portion of the Shenan-
doah Valley, making bis head quarters IN
the old DR.. Rice mansion. Today, as VIC
write, we read that his end IS near at
hand, perhaps is dead. We allude to
General, Nathanal p. Banks, Of the union
army, who doubtless is remembered by
many of our citizens. Whilst be served
in, or with an army opposed to most al !
OF ouT people, be is due the credit Of
treating our citizens with great respect
during the encampment of his army in
aud about our town.
We learn that arrangements have been
effected by the authorities of the graded
school, so that the same will be conducted
for the incoming session in the Polytech-
mic Institute building. This looks very
much Ike Transferring, or placing the
school, in part at least, in the hands of ITS
enemies, for it is an incOntrOyeriable fact
that the free school cause never had a
friend in the Polytechnic Institute, OF any
one connected with the same, unless it be
one or two of its trustees. This fact was
proven a few years ago when an effort
was made to convert the Institute into
a graded free school. We learn that part
of the Institute teachers have been en-
ployed in the graded school, and doubt
less others will be, in preference to those
who have so faithfully discharged their
duties heretofore in the graded school, aud
who were friends. not enemies, to the
cause. We think the arrangement is a
bad one and should not have been con-
sumated.
The new tariff bill has become a law,
having taken effect on last Monday night
one week ago, at II o'clock, and in con-
sequence of the same sugar has advanced
in price one cent per pound with an up
ward tendancy, but at the present price it
will cost each and every family at least
s. o. per year, moro than under the bonn
~ arrangement, and why the President
allowed this bill of "perfdy" and dis
honor" to become a law, to say nothing
about the 100000 of people cussing
and damninP 1t, is mystery the writer
cannot solve.
Grant Turner, lately employed by Mr..
L. p. Henke, as teamster, attempted
suicide on Sunday last, at high noon, by
swallowing 10 cents worth of laudanum.
The timely calling IN of DR. c. c. Henkel,
who applied the proper remedies doubt
less saved the mans life. After being
restored, he wanted TO know why they
did not let him die, as he wanted to do
So" Strong drink, and notice to leave
hia.present home, is thought to be the
cause of his rash act. 1t is a remarkable
fact that this young man, who Is married.
swallowed the laudanum at or near the
same place. as did F. p. Thomas, who
killed himself several months ago. and
was treated In the very same room in
which he. Thomas died. 1t may be law
to sell the above named poison by
druggist 20 any that may call. but it
ought not to be, and druggist uses very
poor Judgment " hen he sells it, especially
to a person under the influence Of strong
drink, without the prescription of ply
scians.
We are glad to report that no new cases
of typhoid fever have been contracted or
developed, and those who have it are do
ing as well as could be expected.
H.. r. n c.
found today, Tuesday, by Messrs. Lloyd
and Ready about three miles east of here
on the west side OF the Msssanutton
mountain, and one mile Immediately up
the mountain from Valley View Springs.
His condition was such as would be ex-
pected after lay ing there since tbs Gath OF
last June. His yaluablss we're intact al
were composed OF one open faced gold
watch and $277in money and papers,
His gold spectacles could not be found,
nor his spud or cane which be used in
gathering herbs, &c. Both arms we're
broken, which proves that he must have
received terrible fall, and it is to be
hoped as long as he is dead, that he was
instantly killed. His head and one leg
were entirely separated from his body,
doubtless pulled off by buzzards or AMI
mails. Had the Doctor gotten $50 yards
further down the mountain he would
have been off Of the cliffs and would have
doubtless reached home or friends as the
mountain from there to the foot was
smooth, A cofoners inquest was held and
decision in accordance with the above
facts was rendered.
HIS remains were bought to town
and boxed and hastily buried, which
caused considerable comment as it was
thought they ought to have been kept
until the next day and then his friends
could have attended il they 30 desired.
One very notable fact was that not one of
bis intimate friendf were consulted in the
matter at all. Rev. ]. A. Snyder conduct
ed the services at the grave. HIS remains
we're inferred in st. Mathews cemetery
