MYSTERIOUS NOTE IN BOTTLE.

A bottle was found on the lake Thursday by negro, containing note from a man claiming to be J. Marsten, stating that he intended to drown himself in the lake and directing those who found his remains to bury them where inquiring relatives might later know his grave.
 The note was probably written to create a sensation, as there are no other facts to bear out the story, and the author probably had no suicidal intentions.

Letus despair not but give thanks
to our Heavenly Father, on that
day set apart as day Of general
Thanksgiving, Nov. a6tb. for inn
planting into inankindthe comfort
ing virtue of hope. Let US cling to-
the Hbchor of hope, that our fore
fathers cherished so dearly, that
the bright sunshine of prosperity
may soon dispel these dark hours
of gloom.
1t is true our stocks often become
watered, when the usually placid
waters Of the Shenandoah and Po-I
mac rivers overflow their banks
and take possession Of. our streets
thus expressing to- us in vivid
manner the great need Of a guard
wall along the Shenandoah. Some
years ago Congress appropriated 4
large sum Of money for the restora-
3tion of navigation on this river, but
the Governmet engineer reporting
adversely, the work was abandoned,
thus the money we should have had
expended among rs, reverted To-
Treasury, where it still lies, unless
some more active representative Of
the people of some other district has
it in circulation for their benefit.
Don't you think we would be do
ing something for our own good if
we would call our Congressional
Representatives, attention to this
great need, he seems to be making
great efforts, by the building of
mammoth battleships, to protect
rs from the foreign foe, / wonder
# we cannot induce him to try to-
get an appropriation sufficient to
fpFtify ourselves against our do
nestle enemy, the Shenandoah, Or
will we be forced to await the fate
Of the city Of Galveston, Texas.
IT'S common saying among us
that money is the root Of all evil,
but from this root is grown the tree
from whose branches the fruit Of
prosperity is plucked; oh! if we
could only plant an orchard ofsuchI
fruit trees along the banks of the
Shenandoah and serve it up to our
a;liug town We would soon have
her restored to her former health
and vigor of youth.
We tried to establish a Board of
Trade that we might Intricate the
wheels of industry and progress. so
tnat their hum might re-echo to |
the joy Of the surrounding country
but like all of our undertakings,
the burden fell on q few and from
lack Of interest they soon became
discouraged and instead Of waiting
to declare dividend on their stock
decided it was far more profitable
to return the amount subscribed; so
I suppose all that is left for Us 10 do
IS 70 fold our arms and patientlp al
wait the ful6lment Of old John
Browns curse. Chat grass would
grow in our streets. As a fitting
cilinax to our generosity, why not
repeal the Stock-in law? so that
our neighbor's cows might legally
partake of the new naaf,1ra 6alis
