the game.
Sunday last was noted for general Lif
meetings throughout this county. Tit
slvents held camp meeting at, or neal
Mt. Jackson, at which meeting a great
many persons of our town aud vicinity
attended. The Thinkers held sway at
TImbervllle, in their usual large way.
The Rev. ]. A. Snyder held forth at
Forestyille. from Thursday to Sunday
inclusive, and last but not least our col
ored friends had bush meeting at VAL
10y View Springs
A rumor, which doubtless was correct,
was in circulation on our streets Sunday
last, that one Of our fle looking young
men had attempted suicide by taking
laudanum, because his parents opposed his
paying attentions to certain young
lady. We suspect be only attempted the
rash act for the purpose of conqnering the
old folks, whether he succeeded or not, is
more than we can say at this writing. We
do know that the young man looks we'll
and hearty and still keeps company with
the girls. We EOpe he is wiser and
better boy now that he has once attempt
ed to take his life.
About fifteen or twenty young ladies
and gentlemen of our little city INDUCED
in what is known as hay-rIds, from here
to Mt. Jackson and return, on last Friday
night. Nothing occurred to mar the
pleasure of the party, except when within
about 9 miles of home one Of the extra
taps came off, or rather thew lost it, and
the party had to walk homo feeling
little tired and damp, as a light shower
caught them. Whilst the above party
were returning home, one of them, Mr..
A. A. Walden, had the misfortune to loose
his pocket book containing $500. He
procured horse and buggy and lamps
and started to search and after going 3
miles he found it y. X. He is very happy
now, and says he will try and do better
next time and pay more attention to his
Doodle and less to his girl.
We regret to announce the serious
illness of ReY. C. +. Hammond, and at
this writing be is confined to his bed. 1t
will be remembered that he WAS assigned
to this charge last spring by the NJ. t.
! Conference, and was unable to come on
account of la grip, at least, until after
several weeks expired. He never fully
recovered, and we understand now, that
as soon as he can make his arrangements
and is able to travel will return to his
home in Texas. All of our people wish
him a speedy restoration to health, and
greatly regret to loose his services, &C.,
as he was greatly beliked by all who had
the pleasure of his acquaintance.
Justice Hoover had two Of our fighting
blocds before him on Saturday last,
charged With trying, or attempting the
life of each other at the pic mic held at
Valley View springs on the Saturday
before. The Squier concluded that bond
of fifty dollars by each one would be suf-
fcent in their keeping the peace towards
each other.
Mayor Williamson, caught on to one of
our sporting or Courting young men, who
lives about miles, slightly west Of north
Of here, and who drives a spanking pair
of sorrels, to the tune OF about four dol
lars. His honor, thought the sorrels, or
the dryer, or both had little too much
steam on for the public safety Of our
citizens, consequently the above result
was impaired to the yoong man by the
court.
A nine composed of Mt. Jackson colored
boys, played a similar nine Of this place
on Friday afternoon last, and it is useless
to say that our nine wiped them out, the
score standing 10 to 9. Quite an excite
ment was manifested In the game by the
citizens, especially the cOlored population.
We have in orr place one Of the most
remarkable women that lives here or else
where. We allude to Mrs. Caroline Nal
oney, who IS now in her 18th year. There
lIs not an accident. incident, marriage,
birth or death occurred in this immediate
lcounty since she was old enough TO re-.
member, that she can't Immediately retor
10 It, and tell you in almost an instant OF
its exact time of happening She can re
ter to the different administrations and
their politics, the names Of the different
presidents, &c, with as much ease and
precision as If going over her A. 3. ca.
In short she Is authority for almost every
thing lost sight of, and which has happen
ed since she lived. This remarkable wo-
man, we are glad to say still retains all
her mental faculties, and excepting an az
cIdent which happened her same 2 or 3
gears ago by which she partially lost the
use of one of her limbs, she is we'll and
hearty and bids fair to live good long
time yet to come. In conclusion she Is an
encyclopedia within herself upon all
matters generally.
Not a little criticism was INDUCED 10
by one of our best people ~ as to Mr.. c.
w. Wickes' ruling at the continued ses-
sion of the republican convention which
recOnvened in Woodstock last Monday.
We do not suppose Mr.. W., claims to be
authority on parliamentary usuiges, and
we wonder il this same critic has sense
enough to know that Presidents, vice.
Presidents, and speakers Of the House Of
Representatives, have time and again
been overruled by Congress. II he has not
let him enlighten himself by reading
these facts, for We know them to be so.
We understand that the convention
tremendously adjusted sill their differences
before adjourning. as the county chair
man. shou ID, as doubtless he will, receive
