BATTLE OF ELEMENTS.

The rain which began to fall about 3
O'Clock yesterday afternoon soon covered
the streets and sidewalks with u coating
of ice, and the hail that followed in half
an hour made locomotion difficult and
disaSreeable TO al whose business or nee
essities compelled them to wall; about
the city. Towards / O'Clock it began to
snow steodily, adding still more to the
general discomfort of all exposed to the
weather. There is not the least doubt
that the people of Roanoke are now hav.
ing real winter weather. and rs it holds
on so long, it is hoped when it changes it
will be for good until the song of the blue
bird is heard in the orchard and the apple
blossoms show that spring has come.

wood Man Who Tortured His
Wife and Family.

KfngwoOd, w. Va, October II. -
Had Oliver Stonebruker not left
this vicinity Yesterday, he would
have been visited by company of
whitecaps and treated to severe
whipping. Stonebraker became
angry ut something, it is said, and
beat his three little boys until they
crawled away from him, reaching
the woods. He then cut a bunch
of thorn whips, it is charged, and,
stripping the clothing from his
wife, beat her until she could not
stand. Her back is laccrated all
over and the soft white flesh is full
of thorns that broke off from the
cruel whips. lie also kicked her
into insensibility and she remained
out all night while the brute hus-
band went off to country dance.
There is some doubt whether she
can recover.

TEACHING AND FIGHTING.

Down in the interior of the state
they are already having war and
bloodshed over the compulsory
school law and we herewith publish
from an exchange how it works in
one of the back counties.
The compulsory school law has
been getting in its work in Boone
county. Prof. Deck Toney whip
ped some of Squire Willard Paw
leY's children at school, and the
Squire withdrew them from attend
ance. The professor promptly re-
ported the matter to the trustees
and undor penalty of the law the
children were compelled to return.
Thereupon Pawley swore that he
would cut Toney to pieces and last
Friday he found the professor at a
cane mill on TOney's branch. A
quarrel was followed by fight, in
which Pawloy used a knife, cutting
Toney over the heart and behind
the left ear, inflicting wounds Of a
most serious character. Toney al
most bled to death before phys
ician could be secured, and he is
still in a critical condition from his
injuries.
