A Trip to Hig-laa-.
We made a trie to New Hampden, Highland
county, last week, In company witli several
others, passing through McDowell, Monterey,
and Hightown, and crossing live mountains.
At New Hampden, we were cordially received
and hospitably eutertaiued by James W. Selver,
Esq.
Two of our number, Maj. J. W. Newton and
John W. Bryan, instituted a lodge of Good Tem
plars at tbat place under tiie most favorable
auspices. There were thirty-one applicants for
the charter, among "whom were some of the
most influential and intelligent of the citizens
of New Hampden and surrounding country.
We have no doubt it will be the means of ac
complishing much good in that community,
and it may be the means of spreading the or
der in the county. Tlio following are Hie offi
cers for the present term : Miles Harold, W. C.
T.; Miss LeliaL. Duval, W. V. T.; Rev. L. G.
Martin, Chap.; E. Weimer, Sec; .V. F. New

Newman, Marshal; J. W. Selver, I. G.; Joseph
T. Boude, O. G.; Miss Able Seivcr, R. S.; Miss
Sallie Harding, L. S.; Heury Mauzy, A.
Miss Lou Harding, D. M. John Waybrigbt,
Esq., was recommended for Lodge Deputy. J.
C. Newman was selected to represent the Lodge
iv the Grand Lodge, and Benjamin Arbogast
as his alternate. "Crab-bottom" was selected
for a name, and its number is u-i.
New Hampden is situated in the buttons
Crab-bottom, the blue-grass region of Virginia.
We were here shown a mass of rock on a
ridge of tho mountain, which is termed the
"Devil's backbone." If It be an exact proto
type .of bis Satanic Majesty's, we would de
spair of bis backbone ever being broken.
On our way to aud from New Hampden we
stopped over night in the thriving village of
McDowell at the "Ti-inont House," kept by
tbe noted tavern-keeper, C W. Peterson, Esq.
We are Indebted for courtesies shown us at this
place to Messrs. James O. Ilobbs and S. A.
Wilson.
The Inhabitants of Highland county are no
ted for tbeir intelligence aud thrift. We were
informed that there is not a pauper in High
land county.
Tbey evidently believe in teaching the
"young idea how to shoot," forat frequent in
tervals we came in view of newly-built school
houses.
And yet Highland county, with all her wealth
and the intelligence of her people, gave a ma
jority against tiie McCulloch settlement. We
confess we "cannot tell the reason why," for,
so tar as their private obligations are concerned,
they are pre-eminently a debt-paying people.
Staunton Debating Society.—The Staun
ton Debating Society was again graced on last
Saturday night by the attendance Of many

We learn that at a recent meeting of tho
Board of Directors of the Valley Mutual Insu
rance Company, it was proposed to establish a
separate brancliof the Association in which tbe
lives o! females could be insured. This addi
tion would, we think, be an Important one,
and well worthy cf the serious consideration
of the directors of the company. As we under
stand it, tliis class of insurance is to be entii'-iy
separate and apart from _____ plan of the present
organization and will in no wise increase its
risk or responsibility. It is proposed to place
tiie class of females insured, on a basis of its
own, entirely distinct from the present plan of
insuring males, acd to be governed by terms of
insurance, which so far as the plan of tbe As
sociation will admit, shall conform to the terms
and conditions presetted by other life-associa
tions,
We hope tne directors will ,sn<| St advisable
to add such a feature to tiie Association, for
there area number of females, who would avail
themselves of each an opportunity to insure In
a home company, rather than take risks in
foreign companies. Such a class of insurance
governed by regulations, rates, and conditions'
peculiar to itself, could iv no measure affect
the reliability of the present Association, and
woild open up a field of enterprise, here
tofoiq entirely neglected in this county. We
may have more t_ say o|| this subject hereafter,
but at present must confine ourselves lo
urging the importance of adding such a feature
to this Association, which lias alreapy been so
successful.

Mars is evening star after the 12th, and holds
the place of honor among the members of the
the solar family throughout tlie month. A
great eventtakes place on bis records. His op
position o-curs en the 12th, and never was this
celestial phenomenon anticipated with such
eager interest, for tbe opposition of 1577 was
the epocli of one of the greatest astronomical
discoveries of the present century. Two tiny
satellites .were found tracking their rapid
course within tbe glare of light surrounding
this ruddy planet, and who knows if closer ob
servation may not reveal as many more, and
some new discoverer share the honor with
Prof.Hall. Mars is not as near to us at the
present opposition as lie was in 1577, but as be
is in northern declination he will be more fa
vorably situated for observation. Prof, Hall
gives the time from the 10th of October to the
29th of November as the period in which the
satellites may be visible, but a European ob
server lias already succeeded In picking up
Diemos on tbe 22nd of September. The best
telescopes all over the world are now concen
t rat Ing their highest powers on tho brilliant
evening star shining so brightly in the eastern
sky. On the first of the month, the planet rises
at hall-past five; on the 12th at sunset, and on
the last of the month about three o'clock.—
Mars is now in his besj position (or observation,
darting above the eastern horizon shortly af
ter the sun sinks below the western, and reach
ing the meridian soon after midnight at an al
titude of nearly seventy degrees. Above him
beams the lovely cluster oi the Pleiades, and
below him shines bright Aldebarnn, a promi

Hyades.
Saturn is evening star, but his pale lustre is

creases his distance from us. He ls still an ob
ject of interest, however, in the evening sky,
as be rises slowly towards the zenith, between
Jupiter and Mars,his dull tint being overshad
owed by the golden glow of the one and the
ruddy hue of the other. He is at present a
beautiful object for telescopic observation, for
iiis rings are slowly opening and the spaces be
tween them and the planet are clearly visible.
The rings, the belted disc, and the beaming
moons make up a picture of unsurpassed love
liness in the grand celestial picture gallery.—
Saturn now rises about 1 and sets about 4 in
the morning. At tbe close of the month he
will rise nearly at 2, and set at 2 the next morn
ing.
Jupiter is evening star, and though lovely to
behold, his glory is waning, but lhosewhohave
watched his brighter course in the eastern
heavens for the last two months will he inter
ested to trace its waning glory, as during this
month he tracks his course in the west. On
the 26th he is in quadrature, or half way be
tween opposition and conjunction with tbe
sun. Ho sets now about 1; at the end of tbe
month about 11.
Mercury is evening star, reaching his great
est eastern elongation on tbe 20th. As this is
ono of the four periods during the year when
lie is favorably situated for observation as an
evening star, very bright eyes may possibly
catch a sight of him about that time, soon after
sunset and not far from the point where Hit
sun went down. The atmosphere must be ex
ceptionally clear aud the sky cloudless to give
a chance of success. Mercury sets now at about
tiall'-past 5; at the end of the month at nearly
the same time, which, however, will then bean
hour after sunset,
Venus Is morning star, and will be a splendid
ohject to behold throughout the mornings ~f
November. She rises earlier each morning,
showing her glowing face above 1 lie horizon a
few minutes after 3, more ttiari three hours be
fore sunrise. At the close of the month she
rises at the same time, which will then be near
ly four hours before suurise.
Uranus is morning star, rising at half-past
1; at the end ofthe month he lises at half-past
11.
The November moon fulls on the 28th. The
old moon is in conjunction with Uranus on the
Bth. Ou the morning of the loth, Venus and
tbe slender crescent will form one of the love
liest pictures of the month, rising nearly to
gether. On the 15th, the new moon will be in
conjunction with Mercury, the planet being
between tbe crescent and the horizon. On the
21st the moon will be near Jupiter, on the 21th
near Saturn, on the 26th mar Mars at mid
night.
The November meteors must not be forgot
ten among objects of interest. They will be
seen from the 18th to the llilli, though observers
who desire a grand display will nave to wait
foi- the shower which astronomers promise in
1899.— Providence Journal.

We learn from the Alleghany Tribune tbat,
on last Tuesday afternoon, a lunatic named
Ligbton, who is an inmate of the jail of that
county, set his bed on lire, which would have
resulted iv burning the jail if it had not been
discovered in time to prevent it. This was the
second time lie had done so. He should be in
the Asylum for the insane.
on Sunday night of last week, the drug store
of Dr. Wills in Covington was entered, and
about S_ was stolen from the cash till.
On the Warm Spring mountain, about three
miles North of Covington, a bear and two cubs
were killed by Messrs Samuel Dressier and
Geo. Rogers.
Mr. John Richardson, who lives on Dunlap's
creek, 5 miles above Covington has recently
killed ten deer.
The Alleghany Tribune is responsible lor the
following :—"Mr. John D. Hippert shot a large
buck a short lime ago which had got its left
fore-leg thrown over Its horns and so securely
fastened that bis buckship could not extricate
it. This had probably been done in striking
at dogs while at bay. A large ball was also
found lodged in the animal's shoulder. This
ball had probably been where found for several
years, as tbe flesh bad grown perfectly sound
over and around it."

Their remedial powers are universally recog
nized and acknowledged, and the preference is
given them overall other remedies compound

truly a valuable re.n.uy, as many who have
felt their beneficial effects will testify, aud
should be found in every household. Captain
Elijah Baker, the proprietor of these Bitters, is
a well known and highly respected citizen of

with all tiie Principal and Branch Railroads from Maine to California. It is the Capital of
Colorado, naturally the richest State in ihe Union, and located in about the geographical
center oi the United States. The climate is charming, with tbe hist water and purest air
in the world, and the scenery is unexcelled for beauty and grandeur. It is surrounded
by the richest Gold, Silver, Copper, Iron, Load, and Coal Mines and Agricultural Lands iv
America. It is now tlio headquarter- for Colorado. Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico. Wy
oming. Nevada. Arizona, and Northern Texas. The rich mineral and agricultural _____

WHY LOTS ARE GIVEN AWAY.
As the tide of immigration is now in this direction, it is the Company 1 Interest to have
people locate In Denver and on their property. Toenconrageemigratlon here, the.Company
will give to any one sending their name and address a warrantee deed, in fee simple, for
one or more lots in North Denver, situated in Weld County, State ol Colorado, in immediate
view of this beautiful city, tho only Charge being one dollar to pay the Notary Public fees
lor acknowledging deed and conveyance. The Company does not give every lot away, but
each alternate one, and does not expect that every person who gets a lot in North Denver
will come here, but a great many will, and they will induce their lriends to follow. The in
creased population will soon make this property very valuable, and this Company retain
each alternate lot, which they hold at prices varying i'rom .25 to 8600, according to location.
j For this reason the above proposition is made. The deeds are unconditional, not requiring
; any one to settle or improve, but with full power to transfer and deed to others. The limit.
; to any one person taking advantage of this offer is live lots. This properly is not hill
,| side, mountain, or swamp, but is level, fertile,and has advantage, for buildins;
jj upon too numerous to mention. Full and satisfactory information, with indorsements
! from our best citizens, will be furnished.
