Letter from Highland.

CRAB BoTToM HIGHLAND Co., VA, Jan. IL.
Mr. Editor You seldom hear from this
part OF THE Moral Vineyard" I'll take the
liberty of dropping you few lines. We are
enjoying one of the finest winters that we
have on record no snow yet; the weather
Just cool enough to be braclng. We appreci-
ate this weather more than most people. as
our business is stockraising This time last
year, we had fed one-half our feed now we
haven't fed fourth of it.
Times are hard in this county, owing to low
price of stock last fall.
We who are away from the centers don't
bother ourselves much about politics gener-
ally, but we did feel like honoring Fitz Lee
and Judge Mclaughlin. We kaow them, and
Judge them to be Diamonds of the first
water" Mr. Martin and Mr.. Harrison, L
have no doubt, are both good men, but we
don't know them
We have no complaints to make, Mr.. Edi-
tor. Our Representatives did their duty like
men, and voted as their people wanted them
to, and we. submit gracefully and have no
charges to make against any one, and think
from what ne hear that both of the fortunate
gentlemen will fill their places with credit to
themselves and honor to our State.
Mr. s. S. Waybright is very i'll with pneu-
monia The health of our people is generally

Change of Name.

Senator Echols, on Thursday, offered bill
to change the names of the State Lunatic Asy
lums, so that they will be called State Hospi-
tails, as the 'Western State Hospital instead
of the western Lunatic Asylum and so with
the other State Hospitals.
Insane patients are no more lunatics than
sane patients, for Luna the NOON from
which the word is desired has no more inf1u-
ence on the one than on the other, and it has
none on either.
Through the ignorance of the people, the
moon is held responsible for a great many
things of which it is wholly innocent, chief
among which is the weather.
Verify, the man in the moon" has great
reason to have poor opinion of the intelli'
gence of the inhabitants on the earth

MIDDLEBROOK.

An accident occurred near here last week,
which may result in a young mans losing his
foot. A young man named Thomas had his
foot badly cut and crushed in some machinery.
DR.. Murray and DIR. Davis were called. Then
DR.. Cary N. Dunlap of this place, was called.
The operating surgeon Or. Dunlap, wanted
to anputate the injured member, but the
unfortunate young man objected Then the
surgeon proceeded to take up the arteries and
dress the foot, which he did in very master
ly manner. After he had done it, the foot
presented good appearance and hopes are
entertained of the memoer being saved The
whole job throughout showed great skill as
surgeon, and as DIR. Cary Dunlap is young
and rising physician this will surely bring
him before an appreciative public III the
light of one of our best and skiilful physi-
clans and surgeons The Dr. is a quiet I'M
assuming young gentleman.
He is loved by all, and is particularly bright
on his medical education He was married
less than year ago to Miss Jessie Mish of
near Greenvile. He has permanently located
here, we are glad to state and will undoubted-
ly prove a great blessing to our community.
The case for after treatment has been turned
over to physician residing near, who was
their family physician, and it is greatly to be
hoped he will be as successful in the after
treatment as our bright and skillful young
surgeon was in performing the operation
The Dr. took out from Is to 20 pieces of bone.
Kennie Smith has returned from his north
ern tour, and has suffered relapse.
Mrs. Kennie Smith was called to her home
near Fairfield last week to see her aged moth
err Mrs J. Davis Fox, who is at deaths door,
