January, 1SO3 the building took fire and was
burned to the ground (the walls are still
standing). and only the books, apparatus, and
bedding could be saved, as there was no water
near. and the fire had gotten under Roadway
before it was discovered. The school, turned
out of doors by the fire. was driven to town
for temporary accommodation, and brick
dwelling was obtained, and after short time
the business of the school was resumed,
though under much disadvantage. The next
building was erected in Lexington, and since
then number of other buildings have been
erected.
THE EARLY CHURCH OF ROCKBRIDGE
COUNTY.
The first presbytery in Virginia was estab-
lished in 1865. This was known as the Han
over Presbytery, and was formed by the au-
thorlty of the Synod of New York. and the
presbytery first consisted of six ministers, in
clnding the Rev. John Brown, of New Proyi-
dence; the celebrated Samuel Davies, of Han
over county, and the Rev. Alexander Craigh-
hill. of Windy Cove. New Providence.
Timber Ridge, Falling Spring, and Hall s
meeting house, OF Monmouth. are among the
old churches in Rockbridge county, Some OF
these churches, built by the first generations,
are still standing, substantial monuments Of
the pious zeal of the early settlers. They are
built of limestone of the Valley OF brick, and
in building some of them before roads, wag-
ons, and saw-mills could facilitate the col
| lection of the materials, singular modes of
collection had to be resOrted to by the builders
The New Providence congregation packed all
the sand used in the walls of their churches
from place Of six miles distance. sack by
sack on the backs of horses; and what is
almost incredible the fair wives and daugh-
tiers of the congregation undertook this while
the men labored at the stone and timber.
Monmouth is about three northwest of Lex
ington, and Timber Ridge is six miles north
of Lexington.

Expensive Elections.

Editor Stoa1nton VSudic6t0r::
Did you ever think what grand saving to
the taxpayers it would be to change our
election laws SO all the officers, from Consta-
BILE to Governor, would be elected at one and
the same time, and serve four years, and
thereby give us only one election in two
years and that in the fall. We would have
the Presidential election and congress with
it, and then Governor and State officers and
congress together, every other year, and none
in the spring, and thereby save this awful
worry and harrassing of the people twice a
veal as now. And then the terrible and de-
pleting draft on the treasury do not know
what the late election cost in this county, bnt

A BOLD ROBBERY.
-Four Masked Men Overpower
Waterman Espino and
Rob His House.

We have gained the follow
ing particulars of the robbery
which occurred on Tuesday
night, in which an employe Of
the Rio Grande railroad was
robbed, mention of which was
contained in THE HERALD of
last evening.
Shortly after ten o'clock on
Tuesday night, d man called at
the house where Rogue Espino
lives, AT Big Lagoon bridge, of
which Espino Is Waterman,
and which is abont seven miles
from Point Isabel, and asked
for 4 drink of water. lie was
told to help himself from the
tank. Then he asked for a
pitcher 10 drink from, at which
Espino brought one out Of the
house. Just then three men
rushed up, told Espino that
he was arrested. and tied him
The four robbers then entered
the house, tied up Espino's
wife and boy, leaving unmolest
ed. A little girl who was there,
and searched the house for
money. They found only $50
in a trunk, and also found a
Winchester rifle, which they
carried away. Espino was
threatened with death if he
gave away what had happened.
The robbers were all masked,
but their victims recognized
their voices.
Deputy Sheriff Martin was
not notified of the robbery I'M
til last evening, as the railroad
telegraph line was down nearly
all day yesterday. he at once
procured a handcar and left
for the scene Of the occurrence,
accompanied by three deputy
sheriffs. After obtaining all
particulars, Deputy Martin and
posse continued their search to
Palangana, where one Cuco
Vasquez, who is accused Of
being implicated in the rob
berry, was arrested and taken
to Point Isabel. Two other
men were arrested at the
Mogote ranch at noon today,
named Lorenzo Recio and Fran
cisco SOFA. The other man is
still at large, though the officers
are in pursuit Of him, and he
will probably be quickly cap
tured.
The men who were arrested
viii arrive on the 6 o'clock
train this evening in charge Of

nosa and his wife and son will
also come to testify against the
men. There seems no doubt
as to their identity.
