The Cold Snap and Heavy Shows.

For the first time in many years this
vicinity has had a series of thermometer
readings below zero. On Sunday the ther-
mometer at the Western State Hospital
was reported by MI. W. G. Hedrick, the
government Weather Observer, as fifteen
degrees below. The heavy snow lying on
the ground, famed by a high wind, kept
this up pretty much all day. At DR.. n.
Wayt & Bros drug store on Main street,
but sheltered by high buildings, the ther-
mometer started off at A. M. Sunday at
eleven degrees below.
All along the Valey-Harrisonbur
Woodstock and Winchester, the reading on
Sunday was from % to 40 below.
Highland Recorder: "We understand
that V. B. Bishops and Dickinson and
,Trimble's teams are On the road between
here and Staunton and are prevented from
moving on account of the heavy crust on
the snow. The mail hacks got along some
way and made good time.

Moving in a Snow Storm.

II the readers of the VINDICATOR who
got their paper last Friday, had known the
tough work that was required in order that
they might get it, they would have appre-
tciated it very highly. A printing Office is
not an easy thing to move, it's press, engine
and the marble on which the forms are
made up, weigh tons. The heavy press and
engine were moved by Mr.. VIM. McKeeveE
over frozen streets as slick as glass. MI.
Peace moved the frame for the belts and
fitted up the new Office on New street, with
the thermometer at zero. On Thursday.
days edition were hauled by wagon down
to the press of the Staunton Argus to he
worked off, they were hauled over ten inches
of SNOW. And finally, the wagons of VIM.
Brooks. which carried down what is called
the furniture of the office, had to carry it
over a field of snow and ice. Altogether
it was as trying a moving time we expect
as any printing Office ever experienced.
But we were determined the VINDICA-
TOR subscribers should not Only have a
good paper, but have it in good time, and
ii the u. S. mail carriers got over the snow
blocked county roads on schedule time,
they got it..
Those who come to the VINDICAToR
office now will find a neat and cosy news
paper as clean as parlor aid as pretty.
Messrs. Jessup and Hosey have done the
painting and G. W. Hewitt the upholster-
ing, and we will undertake to say that for
the present-We will noG say how long it
will last, for prin4ing Office is hard to
keep clean-it is the prettiest newspaper
office in the Valley Of Virginia. 1t has
an elevator to lower the forms from the
composing room to the press room, and
other mechanical conveniences that no
other weekly paper that we know of has.
It has spick and span new editorial room
and is altogether something of gem Of an
office, and we shall always be glad to well
come our friends therein fact it belongs
to the friends of the VINDICAToR as much
as it does to us, and we may just as well
say that they have as good right there as
we have.
To our own office force we were greatly
indebted for cool judgment and energetic
heip In getting from the old to the new
quarters, and the aid given by MesSrs. A.
IS. Woodhouse and D. W. Parsons was a
large factor in overcoming all the difficult
les that beset our removal.

Leg Amputated.

s. P. Shirley, well known in Augusta
county as one Of the firm of Rosenberger,
Shirley Il Co., who had banks at Waynes-
boro, Basic City and other places, in the
boom times, and Row residing at New
Market, suffered the amputat:oG Of leg
there last Friday evening. DR.. II. Il.
Henkel Of Staunton, assia ted by Drs, G..
C.. Henkel and 4. S. Miller OF New Market,
performed the operation. MI. Shirley
some six weeks ago attempted to stop a
runaway team and was thrown to the
ground and run over. While the bone of
the leg was not broken the flesh was badly
lacerated, and since the accident the whole
limb had begun shrinking away. The ope-
ration was successful one, but the patient
is still in critical condition.

Frightening up the Fire with Kerosene.

Little Annie, the three-year- old child of
Mr.. Floyd Heck, formerly Of Staunton,
and now of Clifton Forge. came near losing
her life ON Friday week. She went into

any grown person, attempted to brighten
up the fire by throwing kerosene on it.
Everything was in a blaze in moment.

SHOT HIS YOUNG BRIDE.-A honey
moon of six months duration was
brought to an abrupt end at Lebanon,
Pa, on Sunday, by the fatal shooting
of an alleged unfaithful wife by the
maddened husband. 1t was another
tragic termination of a romance, in
which an elderly man welded a young
girl. Anton Forester married pretty
Kate Waldfogle, miss of %, in March
last. Until last Sunday their marriage
life was continued bliss-so far; at
least, as the husband was concerned.
His bride was dutiful, loving and atten-
tive. She seemed exceedingly fond of
her mature husband. On Sunday there
was rude and abrupt awakening from
the serene happiness. In an evil
moment on Sunday Forster surprised
his wife in a compromising attitute
with a strange man. After brooding
over it until yesterday the husband
deliberately shot his young wife while
she sat unsuspecting at dinner. He
then coolly walked down town and
went into the Washington Hotel. He
had just drank a glass of beer when he
was arrested. He at once admitted his
crime and only said: 81 meant to kill
her and am sorry l didn't.n

Doc FOUGHT TO SAVE HER AT
Reading Pa, few days ago big
Newfoundland dog made most pa
thetic struggle to prevent his aged mis-
tress from being taken to the poor
house. He lost his life in the fruitless
endeavcr, but proved to be heroic
canine. Miss Anna Beard, aged 79
years, resided in Union township. For
16 years she has resided there alone,
her only companion being her faithful
dog. AS the woman was no longer
able to take care of herself, the neigh
bors decided it was best to remove her
to the county home.
Several men and women went 20
Miss Boards lowly home to take her
away. But the watchful Newfound-
land stood guard over his aged mistress,
seeming to realize that she was help
less in the hands of strangers. he
barked furiously, but as they led the
decrepit woman toward the road, the
dog became more dangerous. He
was so determined to keep the woman
from supposed harm that the neighbors
thought it necessary to kill the dog.
He was shot, and thus became true
martyr for what he must have regarded
as noble cause.
