We were shocked to hear Of the sud-

b. Dey, the father Of our former be-
loved pastor, Rev. Bascon Dey. Great
sorrow was expressed by many who
knew him in his daily life.
Curiosity of the village was
thoroughly aroused last Thursday
morning when a young couple, ap
parantly very excited, dashed up to the
depot just in time to board the noon
train leaving their trap at the livery
stable to be called for by them later.

That $4,000 Fee.

Editor Heraid:-l motto d in one Of
the daily papers that Newport News
lawyer was recently allowed a fee OF
S25, 900 for representing one Mrs. Finch,
who though a married woman, had u
appeal to the courts Of her State foT
protection. This looks more like lun-
ishment. OF course large Interests
were involved, and the lawyer may
have done his duty fully and well, but
when Virginia can command the time
and talent of Montague for four years
aud only pay him $4,000, to allow a
lawyer So, 600 for giving part Of bis
time to the interest Of client, and that
client woman, strikes us as being un-
reasonable and unjust. And why
didn't the client settle with the attor-
ney? Our courts gain nothing Of pop
ular favor in decreeing such exorbitant
fees. The judge in allowing it is re-
ported as saying, "it Is the largest fee
| ever allowed, and the wonder is that
he hadn't just then and there divided

Fire Wood Scarce.

The wood famine In town has gotten
to be Of pronounced type, but handful
now and then being brought in from
the country. 1t is passing strange
that our people do not realize in adj
vance of its coming that February al
ways brings cold weather and muddy
roads, and so prepare for its coming
We know full we'll that all Of US can't
do that, as 80 many are forced to live
from hand to mouth, but there are SO
many who could make the preparation
il they would. There can be no fun
running about in the cold looking fol-
wood, and ordinary prudence would
say: 1t is better to buy IN the fall at =
cord than to pay 81 in mid-winter
A little more fore-thought would add
greatly to our common stock of literature
comfort.

A Slight Blaze.

Just as our people were going to their
respective churches on last Sunday
morning, the alarm Of fire was sounded
and it was soon ascertalned that the
dwelling house OF Mrs. Governor
Mckinney was on file. Before the
fighters were on the ground, however,
the flames had been gotten under con-
troll. The fire broke out in the up
stairs room which is occupied by Mr..
j. Ashby Armistead as sleeping room.
He had not long left the room, with on
ly smoldering fire in an air tight
stove when a colored woman who went
up to clean it up found it in blaze.
With active efforts on the part Of the
inmates Of the home, two Of whom
happened to be present, and the
prompt application Of water the flames
were confined to that one room. A few
minutes Of delay and the house would
have been consumed.
The origin Of the fire will ever re-
main a mystery. 1t caught at point
remote from the stove and the pipe,
and could not have originated from
either. The loss in the room was with
the exception of one bed well nigh
total. A single bed with hair mattress,
mantel, mating, curtain, portion Of
the floor, &c, were destroyed or greatly
injured. The walls will require entire
renovation. Fortunately Mrs. McKln-
ney is protected by insurance. Mr.
Armistead lost a new overcoat, new
suit and a full supply ofshirts, under
wear, &C., upon them there was no in
surance.

Hicks For March.
Your friend,
w. A. Hooker

Mr.. Hicks again predicts a great
many storms in the fore casts. The first
regular storm period for the month is
from the lst to the eth. The earth at
this time is fully under the influence Of
the vernal equinox, blended with We
nus disturbance. From about the 3rd to
the 9th all the charges and phenomena
Of very decided storm period may be
expected. A marked change to warm
er and falling barometer will lead
rapidly into cloudiness with rain aud
thunder storms in the south. Change
To much colder will follow rains in GEN.
trail and northern sections, heavy snow
squalls along the northern side Of the
country. In the rear Of these storms
will come sharp changes to cold, low
erng the temperature quite close to the
frost line in the far south.
A reactionary perturbation centres
on the 9th and 10th. The moon being
full aud on the celestial equator on
18th, extraordinary electrical phenom
ena may be naturally looked for during
this central period.
A regular storm period centers on
the 18th and extends from the 18th to
10th. bringing with il exceedingly un-
settled weather, with probably many
heavy and some dangerous storms. Two
decided disturbances are expected dur
ing this central period in March, one at
the very beginning Of the period, the
other about the 18th aud 18th. The
storms will scarcely subside before the
entrance to reactionary storm condi-
tons due on th Dist and 22nd. This
being the center Of the Vernal equinox,
many squalls with much unpleasant
weather may be counted on. Mingled
rain. snow and raw winds will extend
over all central, western and northern
sections,
From 18th to 3Oth the last general
storm period occurs, centering on the
26th with also a Mercurial perturba-
ton. The weather will turn phenome-
nally warm for the season as these days
approach. In all central aud southern
parts Of the country violence and dan
ger may be expected, with late SHOWS
and sleet storms to the northward.
The month viii probably reach its
close in the midst Of the cJld wave
that follows these storms.

The dissatisfaction with the new
