JAMES A. PIPER & SON,
dec 7 near the Virginia Hotel.
A MYSTERY.
I that mystic path was treading,
When the sun his rays was shedding,
Beaming, gleaming, fairly streaming thro' the ;
trees;
And I watched the streamlet glistening,
As entranced I there was listening
To the melting, merry music of the breeze ;
When beneath a tree reclining.
Where no ray of sun was shining,
Lol I saw a fellow-being on the ground :
Though no other feature shifted,
Quickly, soon his eyes uplifted.
Upward lifted, as he wildly looked around.
Good triend, said I, approaching,
Do not charge me with encroaching,
Are you waiting for some messenger of news ?
But no other word he uttered,
And no other sentence muttered,
Save "Go to Simon Hilb s for dry goods, boots
and shoes."
That's a strange expression surely,
_aid I, looking down demurely,
I trust good sir, the question you'll excuse,
But he only looked the prouder,
As he spoke the words the louder,
Go to Hilb's for ail the goods you use.
Why bless me, man ! I shouted,
As his sanity I doubted,
'Tis surely naught to me what merchant's goods
you buy.
But he only cried the higher,
With enthusiastic fire,
Y T ou'll save half your cash if Simon Hilb you
try!
So I left him there reclining,
Where no ray of sun was shining,
And frequently I wondered at what the man
spoke in the woods ;
Thinking surely it was a mystery,
And that some hidden history
Was weaving round myself and Simon's goods,
So then I resolved to try them,
Then couldn't help but buy them,
And, behold! I've cause for gladness,
That the words I deemed were madness
Induced me thus to purchase my goods from
Simon Hilb.
So all will find the same cause for gladness
Who call in time to secure some of
The late bargains, lately received direct
From New York.
They will find a splendid assortment of Ladies'
Cloaks, at prices ranging from $2.50 to $25: 200
sets ladies' Furs from $4.50 to $20; elegant blan
ket shawls, black and colored ; tine dress shawls,
a large variety of black and colored cloakings.

tashionable shades of
Empress Cloths,
Chane Poplins,
Mohair Satin,

as will be seen from the following:
Gentlemen:—l have been foreman in this
large Boot and Shoe Manufactory concern for 8
years—have had charge of hundreds of sewing
machines, and have never seen any vet I like as
well as the WEED. I stitched a pair of Napo
leon boots for General Burnsides un it, and such
perfection of work I never saw come from any
sewing machine ; the needle hole always so well
filled, and the stitch firm, even and beautiful.
Yours, &_., Isaao Kershaw,
53 Carl street, Brooklyn, N. Y.
No Tailor should be without one 1
Having used the "WEED,"' which I procured
in exchange for a "Singer," I do not hesitate
to declare it far superior to any other machine
for manufacturing clothing upon. Its movement
is quick and easy ; its stitch is mote uniform and
perfect than I have before seen, and it has room
to handle goods to very great advantage. My
experience in tailoring for seventeen years war
rants me in stating mv opinions boldly.
* .H. O. KIDEL,
Jan. 12, 1870. Hartford, Conn.
Baltimore. Md., Oct. 1, 18G9.
Gentlemen —I purehat-ed more than 2 years
since, one of the new 'WEED' machines, which
has been in almost constant use ever since. It
has cost me nothing for repairs, and gives perfect
satisfaction. For the lost 10 months I have used
the same needle without changing or breaking it.
I have also had the "Wheeler >$l Wilson," 'Gro
ver & Baker,' 'Singer.' and ' Wii'.eox & Gibbs,'
Dut prefer the "WEED" to either of the others.
You can make such, use of this as you choose.

Rockbr. Alum Springs. Rockbr. Alum Springs.
The undersigned have taken a lease of the
Virginia Hotel,
and propose to open it in their partnership name
OA T THE FIRST OF OCTOBER, 1869.
Their aim will be so to keep the Hotel as to at
tract the public patronage and make it the favor
ite resting-place of all visitors to Staunton.
Its location and interior arrangements will
greatly contribute to this end—being quite re
moved from the bustle of the Depot, and the
noise of shifting trains—and yet central and con
venient to business. The house is newly furnish
ed throughout in the very best style of modern
art.
Hot, Cold and Shower Baths for ladies and
gentlemen; Bar and Billiard Saloons, and Liv
ery Stables connected with the House.
_?__"• The Proprietors having worked together
for many years at the Rockbridge Alum Springs,
to the satisfaction of the public, respectfully ask
a call from any of their former friends and pa
trons who may visit Staunton, confidently prom
ising them that they will find in their Hotel the
comforts of a well appointed home.
They especially solicit a home support and
therefore ask a liberal patronage at the hands of
their own county people, who are not without in
terest in the maintenance of a first-class Hotel at
their county seat. The Proprietors, if properly
supported by the business men of Staunton, and
the farmers of Augusta county, will be able and
are determined to make their house second to
none in Virginia.
And to this end their charges shall be moderate.
Omnibus to and from the depot free of charge.
All stages set down and take up passengers at
this Hotel.
Mr. G. W. Kennedy, (late of the Boiling
brook, Petersburg, Va.) is in charge of the Di
ning Room and will be pleased to see his friends.

I. ACADEMIC COUr.SE.
The College is divided into distinct Schools

to afford the best facilities for rendering the in
struction in the several branches of education
extensive and thorough. The student selects his
own course of study, under the direction of his
parent or of the Faculty; but that no motive
may be wanting to a complete and systematic
course of education, the separate Schools are so
arranged that they may bo combined into the
following departments:
1. Department of Arts.—This embraces the
subjects of Latin, Greek, English, Moral Philo

The Degree of Master of Arts is conferred
on Students who have completed the course of
study in nine of the Schools, and have taken dis
tinctions in seven of these.

tion in these important professions. They are'

This embraces Mathematics, Applied Mathemat
ics, Physics, Mechanics, Chemistr.*, French, En

ics, Physics, Chemistry, Mineralogy and Geolo
gy, Metallurgy, Mining. German and English.
To this course is attached the diploma of Mining

Chemistry. 3. Agriculture. 4. Commerce.
3. Department of Law.—This embraces the
School of Law and Equity, and to it is attached
the Degree of Bachelor of Law.
111. PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT.
This has been organized temporarily, for tha
benefit of young men, who have been prevented
by the war from obtaining proper Academic pre
paration for College. It embraces the subjects
of Latin, Greek, Mathematics, and English.
MODE OF INSTRTCTION AND
EXAMINATION.
To secure constant and thoroii:, drilling, the
Classes are divided into sections of from twenty
to thirty, which are taught separately. In the
lower Classes the instruction is mainly given by
Text-books and Exercises; in the higher classes
Lectures are combined with these. The Exami
nations are both oral and written, and those for
proficiency and distinctions very thorough and

As special inducements to diligence, three
Gold Medals and Five Honorary Scholarships,
the latter covering tuition and College fees, are

as ''Resident Master.-,," with valuable privileges
and emoluments.
The College educates, free of charge, all can
didates for the Ministry, properly recommended.
It appoints to free Scholarships twenty-five

profession. It gives a long credit to meritorious
young men without means who wish an educa
tion.
DISCIPLINE.

trol of the President, tends to develope honor,
manliness and self-respect.
Necessary expenses are not more than $325 per
annum. The College fees and three months
board, amounting to about $175, are required in
advance.
Parents are advised to deposit the funds for
their sons with the Treasurer, experience having
