One of the greatest and most singnla
c0riositles IN the vegetable line We have
ever seen, is a cucumber patch belonging
to Mrs. NJ. Geary, of this place. The.

We learn that the long and iLcessant
wet weather has mi 1red the melon vinei
along the river in this county, to such al
extent that the coming crop, which, al
one time. was expected to be very
large one, will be greatly cut down. We

The reunion of Confederate Veterans
at Fishers Hill. on Friday, August 9TH
under the management of Slower Camp,
Of Strasburg, will be an interesting event,
and will doubtless be attended by large
number of Veterans as well AS of citizens
generally. Gov. Chas. T. O'Ferrall will
be present and will make the principal
address of the day. His reputation as q
splendid speaker, especially upon sub
iect of this kind, where this gallant old
soldier IS perfectly at home. will Of itself
draw large number.
On last Monday, Dir. J. B. Hess
brought TO our Office mass OF animalcu-
a-lnnumeTable in number-captured at
his mill in tae road near QuicksbJrg, Va.
These ahimalcul1 were travelling in
three groups, each group assuming the
shane of snake IN movement. The
lutte IN. ects are about a quarter of an
inch long, the thickness of a common
sewing needle, have black head, white
neck, and dull reddish body. They move
by passing in layers-the top ones pass
iYg those underneath from the rear. They
are rather a queer insect, and 80 far as
we know, nothing of the kind has evtr
been seen in this locality. Me- Market

The impression has gotten abroad that
the Shenandoah County B. & L. AssOcls-
ton will not take money on deposit.
This Is a mistake. 1t does take money
and Issue certificates therefor payable
any time after six months on short notice,
with interest at the rate of six per cent.
per anuum, and If the principal remains
with rs the interest is paid semi-snnual-

amounting to over $3.50 QUO 90, are pledged
as security for these certificates.
