sICK-LAwN PARTY, sc.
Reported for the Staunton VINDIcAToR.1
CHURCHvILLE, July 24-The long and
distressing drouth has been broken at last.
Rain commenced falling Sunday morning
about o'clock. and continued, with occa-
siOnal showers, until Monday night, when
we had the best shower that fell during the
twenty-four hours. The drouth had reach
ed serious stage-as we had had no rain
for more than six weeks, except barely
enough to lay the dust. We have had some
very hot days, but the nights as general
thing, have been cool enough for blanket,
during the greater part of the summer. 1t
| is to be hoped that we will have good
season from this on. The rain came too
late to benefit the early corn to any extent,
but will help the late corn very much, and
will help start the fall pastureage.
Our rain prognosticator indicates rain
to-day. 1t is said that when Elliott's Knob
is fog caDped in the morning it will rain
that day. 1t failed several times during
the drouth. So my faith is shaken in the
knob as it is in the ground hog. AS old
father Ritchie, of the Richmond Enquirer,
used to say IN GUS verron.''
Mrs. Graf Gilkeson went to visit her
mother, Oh last Monday. in the Hebron
neighborhood.
Mrs. Bell and daughter Mary of Harri-
sonburg, are visiting at Mrs. Fannie Bear S
and Mrs. Hettie Erwin IS, sisters of Mrs
Bells. Miss Bell had been spending some
time with her brother in Minneapolis She
was out there during the exciting time of
the strike, and had some trouble in getting
through, so we have heard.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hutchens of near Browns
burg. Rockbridge, are visiting at MI.
Geo. Bears, whose wife is sister of Mr..
Hutc hens.
Mr.. Grogg of Dry Branch, was thrown
from a dog cart one clay last week, by his
horse taking fright at two boys. He was
very badly hurt, and is thought to be in
rather critical condition.
Frank Lickliter near here, died last
Thursday and was buried from the U. B.
church Oh Saturday about 10 o'clock. Silas
Smith died Monday night about u clock.
Both of the above mentioned died of ty-
phoid fever, and did not live quarter of q
mile apart. There are yet two cases Of
fever at Mr. Lickliter's and one at MI.
Smith s. There are one OF two other cases
OF fever in the neighborhood, none Of whom
seem to be much on the mend. Young
Harvey near Buffalo Gap, who has been
down with the fever for some weeks past,
is able to sit up some.
Mrs. Reeves of near Stover's shop, died
on yesterday, the 23rd, but did not learn
what was the cause of her death. Mrs.
Cooper and daughter Of Parnassus, wife
and daughter Of Rev. Cooper, of the M. E..
Church, South. we have learned, are no
better.
| MI. John Bear s mill came near burning
on Monday, and had not the fire been dis
covered so soon after it caught, it would
have gone. 1t is supposed a spark from
the engine caught in the roof. 1t would
have been quite loss, not only to Mr..
Bear, but to the neighborhood.
| The ladies of the Pres byterian church
expect to hold lawn party on Thursday
week the End of August.

There is an uneasy feeling noticeable
among the inhabitants. Martial law
is strictly enforced and no discussions
of a political nature are heard. During
the stay in port Captain Anderson saw
street car conductor shot and in
stantly killed by soldier because the
conductor requested the soldier to
stand and give his seat to passengers
who had paid their fare.
SCENES OF TERROR IN THE CITY.
Apparently little notice was taken Of
the affair, and the soldier was not
brought to account so far as Captain
Anderson could learn. Ten days be-
fore he left Pernambuco, Captain An.
derson said. twelve naval cadets were
shot by Peixoto's soldiers. The cadets
were on board the guardShip Parahyba
stationed in the har Dor. They were
arrested in the evening and accused o!
conspiracy against the government.
At sunrise next day the cadets who, as
alleged, intended to turn tho guard
ship over to Mello, were shot.
A number OF people gathered on the
plaza to see the execution. The cadets
