We call our readers' attention lo the ad
vertisement of Messrs. Powell Brothers, whose
stock has become so well known throughout
America tbat no argument is needed to con
vince one desiring choice animals of any breed
ol the wisdom of visiting their establishment
before making a seleo ion. They feel Justified
in saying that their experience as breeders and
importers, their facilities, low rates of trans
portation, large numbers constantly on hand,
(now being over 1000 head of pure bred live
■took) and the extent of their business, ena
bles them to offer inducements to any wishing
to purchase fine live stock, not surpassed by
any other firm In the country.

DEATHS.
Mrs. Mary E. King died suddenly at the resi
dence in thin city of her son-in-law. Captain J-
N. McFarland, Cunty Treasurer, at 3 o'clock
on the afternoon of the 10th Instant, aged C 6
years.
Mrs King resided at her home on Chriitlan'i
creek a few miles below Greenville, and was
visiting her daughter, Mrs. MoFarland, and
her son Mr. W. W. King and their families, at
the time of her death. Her maiden name was
Shields, a sister of J. T. Shields. Esq., near
Mint Spring Station on the Valley railroad.
She was married twice, and leaves four chll.
dren—Mrs.McFarland (nee Wallace) and Frank
and J. 8. Wallace, and W. W. King, deputy
treasurer or Augusta county.
Tne burial took place at Bethel church, of
which Mrs. King was a member, Sunday, tbe
11th instant—the funeral services being con
ducted by the Pastor, Rev Dr. James Murray.
Tbe congregation present that day was o_e of
the largest ever known at tbat place, noted
for its vast assemblages of people. The regard
entertained for the deceased and tbe sympathy
expressed for the sorrowing relatives and
fi lends manifested the profound respect and
affection with which her memory la cherished
In the community.
The following were the pall-bearers:—
S. F. Pilson, B. W. McClure, J. F. Wi.lson,
G. C. Shields, Dr. N. ft"ayt. J. A. Templeton, J.
B. Woodward, George P. Baker.
Dr. E. C. Fisher. Assistent-Sut'erlntendent of
the Western Lunatio Asylum, died at his lodg
ings at the Asylum Sunday night at 10 30 o'-
clook in the 82d year of his age. For some
months past, his health and strength bave
been gradually failing. His end was peaceful,
and In the full assurance of the reward which
awaits the righteous.
Dr. Fisher was born and reared in Richmond,
where a brother and sons survive him. All
visited him during his protracted illness, and
the two last were with him at the time of his
death, as were also relations and friends of this
city.
Dr. Fisher resided in Staunton, practicing
his profession, before he became a physician
at the Asylum, which was in 1850. In 1854, he
was appointed Superintendent of the Asylum
•or the Insane in the State of North Carolina,
the buildings of which at that time were erect
ed under bis supervision. His administration
ot the aflalrs of tbat Institution were highly
satisfactory to the government of the State and
beneficial lo the patients, but under the laws
and military orders for reconstructing the
States of the South alter l__s,he was superseded
In 18__. In IS7O, immediately after Virginia be
came possessed of her government, he was re
appointed, and restored to his former associa
tions at the Western Lunatic Asylum, where
he remained lilt tbe close of life, except for the
term of two years when the Coalition party
controlled Its aflalrs. His advanced ace and
falling health latterly rendered his strength
uneiual to the full performace of the usual
charge assigned bim at the Asylum, and tbe
Board of Directors, a few weeks since, lighten
ed them to the proper extent. The body was
taken to Richmond Monday night,accompani
ed by Dr. Blackford, Superintendent, and
Captain Harman, Steward, ofthe Asylum. He
was buried in Hollywood cemetery yesterday,
wbere bis wife and other members of his faint
ly are entoT* bed,—the funeral services taking
place at St. James Episcopal cburch, Rich
tnond.
Dr. Fisher was of the highest type of men.
A communicant of the Episcopal church, bis
walk and conversation were illustrative oi the
proresaiou hislifeadorned. He wus attractive
ly entertaining aud Instructive In conversa
lion, and in all his intercourse fulfilled tbe in
Junctions of Divine teaching, and exemplified
the excellence of bis culture In the modesty
and manner which belong to the noble gentle
man.

Sale of Buena Vista Stnek and Lots and
Rockbridge bins sis.
The first sale at auction of Buena Vista stock
and lots in this vicinity, where lar»e amounts

In front of the County Cou;t-House in this city.

amount to $300.

2 of $100 each, to Arista Hoge, $105 each 210
The coupons of these bonds to January lst,
had been collected.
All the purchasers are residents of this city.
Cause of the Abnokmal Wkathke.—The
abnormally w» r m weather we bave had In
tbls State heretofore this Winter is not, as
some surmised, attributable to a Changs in tbe
location of the Gulf Stteam, but to the fact
thai, during tbat ttme, tbe storms from tbe
West traveled East and North East and passed
out "through the St, Lawrence Valley, and
these storms made it colder on tbeir Northern
border, and warmer on tbe Southern, as the
air was drawn from North and South In the
direction of these storms, bringing the cold air
down and tbe warm air up. When the cold
waves from the Northwest travel South into
the Mississippi Valley or South East and
spread over the Atlantic States, then It be
comes cold her.,and would do so, even II tne
Gulf Stream, (which has not) had changed, and
and If it were both larger and nearer our coast.
The storm of a few days since, which was of
such severity in the North and Northwest
came down the Mississippi Valley instead of
going out through the St. Lawrence Valley,
and as It spread out, its effects were felt In a
modified degree In the Atlantic states, and.tbe
temperature here fell some thirty-odd- degrees
Monday night—from 65 to _- degrees.

Found on the Poech.—A few mornlngaago
when the family of Prof. Charles S. Dod arose
at their residence in the country they found
on the front porch a large valise. Upon exam
ination the valise was found to contain a white
female infant about 8 days od. To the wrist
of tbe waife was a note asking care and protec
tion from the kind people of the house, saying
tbat money would be left at times for its sup
port. In the valise there was a bottle and nip
ple, and the mother in patting with ber baby
seemed particularly anxious tbat the bottle
and nipple should be kept fresh and sweet, so
expressing herself in the note.
The Utile stranger created astir In the fami
ly where little ones had been unknown for
years, Proi. Dod, who Is the principal of our
public schools, was not at home, but was sent
for at once; and after consultation with his
. wife it was decided to adopt the little unfortu
i nate, and now It finds a tender mother's solid
tudeln Mrs. Dod, who rocks It In a little era
, die by her side.
There is not tbe slightest clue to tbe child's
mother, or who left it on the porch.— Lexington

Sons of Temperance Banquet.
The Staunton Lodge of Sons of Temperance j
a very old and useful organization which has

large number of invited guests,at a banquet In
the O'Connor building on Thursday night last
from 9 to 11 P. M. The room was very at
tractively decorated in evergreens, and draped
profusely with the national colors, while hug*
pyramids of oranges from tha tables made up
a pretty blending ol' colors. At 9 P. M., after
tbe divine blessing had been asked, a prompt
and general attack along the whole line ol
tables was begun, and the several courses 1 1
oysters, cold turkey, roaet meats of different
varieties, were generally discussed, and
rounded off by fruits and cake, with copious
libations of lemonade. After the merry gingle
of knives and folks bad ceased, Mr. T. J.

eluded The fulfil. The Bar, Tie Judiciary,

ly and Impressively.. Ihe Band was well
talked for by Mr. E. M. Cushiug who is lt«
Nestor almost of the organization, and in bis
brief, but lnterestlrg and bright synopsis of
Its history, gave tome vey interesting and
notable facts. He was present at its organiza
tion more than £6 years ago, since which
time its whole men_bershlp bas included over
200 men, and out of this number but 4 mem
bers have died up lo date. Prof. Turner was
the first leader, and Its name. If lememb.rtd
accurately, was tbe West Auguala Band or
Augusta Cornet Bard: At all events, the
name "Stonewall B md" was adopted after tbe
war, as It was probably tbe only one ot Jack

complete up to the close of tbe struggle. Mr.
C. E. Haines responded In tome bopeful and
cheerful predictions lor our future as a city,
on the part of the Chamber ol Commerce; and

Middlebrook News.
We have been having for some time the fin
est weather imaginable—Just as balmy as sum
mer.
There are several cases of La Grippe here, or
at least. Il Is thought by the parties so afflicted
to be that.
A series of meetings has been In progress at
St, John's Church near here for the past week.
Rev. Shuford has been very ably assisted by
Rev. Talhelm, of Edlnburg, Va. He has deliv
ered some very able and masterly sermons,
which ought, If the consciences of his sinner
hearers are not seared as with a hot Iron, to
bring them to the loot of the cross, and revive
those of the members that have strayed away
Into by- and forbidden.pal lis,if there be any of
that sort. Quite a lively Interest is manifest
ed by all who attend. The attendance has
been very good, and order and "attention good
with the exception of Saturday acd Sunday
nights when there was a pew full of boys wbo
kept up an incessant whispering and laughing
much to tbe disgust and chagrin of tbose
around them. Church is no place to %o to ex
hibit, bad manners and bad rearing. Common
sense should teach persons better, ifeven they
were not instructed in inf tncy tbat It is wrong
It is surely a great lack of something—raising,
manners, or sense, it not only imuoj ■ the
minister,but order-loving people around them
There promises to be good results from these
services. The order of services was changed
somewhat on last Sunday night.
Mrs. King mother of Mrs. McFarland was
burled at Bethel Cburch last Sunday. A large
concourse of friends attended.
A Noble Act.—We adopt the sugges
tion ofthe New Orleans Times Democrat
and reproduse from its columns the follow
ing as worthy of general circulation:
Tbe man who captured Jefferson Davis
in 1865 is truly a cit'Z9n of the restored and
reunited Union. He laid down his arms
when the war closed, and has not taken
them up again.
Colonel Wilson, the Federal officer into
whose hands the ex-President of the Con
federacy fell twenty-foui years ago, has sub
scribed $100 to the Davis land fund for tbe
support of the widow and daughters of Jef
ferson Davis. It was a voluntary testimo
nial from a brave man who wore the blue
to tbe brave leader of those who wore the
gray. It was a noble act—tbis subscrip
tion of Colonel Wilson, the Federal captor,
to tbe fund for the family ofthe heio ofthe
Lost Cause.
Such e.vidences of a restoration of good
feeling between the sections are happily not
few. If we except the narrow aad pur
blind partisans whose vision extends only
to Mason Dixon's line, there are few tra
ces North or South of the fierce and bitter
warfare indulged in only a quarter of a cen
tury ago.
But the action of Jefferson Davis' c-ptor
in thus spontaneously testifying his admira
tion for tbo character of the great chief of
a great cause is possibly the most convinc
iug proof yet given that the war Is indeed
over.
An Officer Shoots a Murderer —A
dispatch trom Estillville, Va., says that on
Saturday about noon S. W. Wax and John
E. Mass met Dock Ramey, the murderer of
H. J. Moore, near O-born's ford, accom
panied by his brother Bill and father, John
R.mey. Tbe officers ordered the Rimeys
to halt aud surrender. Dock and Bill drew
their Winchesters, and four shots were fir
ed simultaneously. The Ramey. shot too
soon, and the officers' tire was tatal. Dock
fell to tbe groan I, and was iv the act of fir
ing when ano her load of buckshot q .ieted
him forever.

Fallacy of the subsidy theory.—
England has not created her merchant mu
rine by means of bounties or subsidies, and
does not now so sustain it. Our law which
forbids us to buy cheap ships abroad, and
our high tariff which prevents our building
tbem profitably here, are the causes of our
weakness on the sea. Mr. Codman shows
that a prac'ice of giving subsidies to some
of our ships must injure tbe rest. Suppose
we subsidize all our steamers. Would not
tbis put our sailing vessels at a serious dis
advantage and cause their ruin? If we
should sunsidize only a few, would not this
teud to drive tho rest out of '.usiaess? To
make tbe subsidy general would overshad
ow the Tanner pension folly and bankrupt
the treasury. The subsidy policy Is there
fore unjust and injurious as it is futile fur
tbe object it has in view. The fact is tbat
only two interests demand subsidies to our
ships—one of tbem being tbe manufactur
ers of ships, who demaud protection against
foreign ships, and the other the manufact
urers of goods that cost too much to bear
carriage at tbe usual rales to foieign coun
tries. Tbe latter err, however, if they
think the subsidized ship is going to reduce
rates. — Bait. Sun.

never have a President who will not pursue
the civil service policy pure and simple and
upon a jußt basis, allowing men accused to
be heard and deciding against them ouly
upon competent proof and fairly—either
have that kind of a civil service, or, fir

and bold, if brutal, method of turning men

"Whereas tbe monument and statue of

now nearicg completion; and whereas, after
diligent labor on tbe part of the Lee Monu
ment Association, a sufficient amount has
not been realized for its completion, and
whereas it should be the pride of every Vir

debt should rest thereon,
Rtsolned by the General Assembly, That
as representatives of tbe whole people of

commend tbat active measures be at once
taken in every county and city iv tbe State
to raise the desired amount.
Mr. Lovenstein explained that be had
consulted members of tbe Finance Commit

while to ask for an appropriation to finish
paying for the monument, but they told
him tbat owing to the straightened condi

ask for such an appropriation. He hoped
that the money would ba raised promptly

British Estimates of the Wheat Sur
plus.—Mr. William E. Bear, Bradttreel't corre
spondent in London, who has publißhed in
that Journal a leugthy review of crop returns,
with comparisons of previous years, has the
following to say respecting tne futura of the
prices for wheat. .
VThe few disjointed repoits on the growing
orop In India, received up to the present time,
are not favorable; but It la much too early to
speculate upon what tbat country will pro
duce. In South America the harvest is suppos
ed to be a good one, though it is doubtfU|
whether there will be any appreciable surplus
after a year lv which lmporis. of wheat were
needed, especially as tbe area of the crop iv
the Argentine Republic has beeu reduced. But
the united . urplusas of tbe Uutted States. Rus
sia. ludia aud Australia aiuouut to a formida
ble total, and hopes of a substantial advance of
prices In the spring will not be very brilliant
unless the In 11 in crop has turned out badly,or
tbe American and European prospects for next
harveß' are unfavorable. I a this country [the
United Kingdom] we have a short acreage of
wheat sown, and ao.ount. of its planting are
not ut ail satisfactory, happiness being com
monly complained of."
Railway Building in 1889.—Tae New Yoik
Engineering .Wit., gives the total mile, of rail
roids built In the United States In 1889 to be
4,970. From tbe topic specifying the amount in
each State. Virginia had 1974 miles; West Vir
ginia 49; North Carolina 279; South Carolina
428; Georgia 315; Florida 182 Tbe total oontruo
i.oj was a decline from the previous year, but
an increase In tbe Atlantic Coast States nam
ed. Tbe review closes with the following re
marks:—
"The second year of decline from the maxim
um, and although reasoning from previous ex
per lenee the decrease would be likely to con
tinue another year or two, still the conditions
of the country have so greatly changed, the
cost of railway construction has so greatly
diminished and the demand for railways has
become so great that it is not probable that
any year for a good while to ome will see a
smaller amount of mileage added tban tbat of
1859."

Southern wheat was 30 cents, no. two cents
more tban was paid in our market, which
with cost of transportation added establishes

Messrs. F.J. Cheney & Co.—Gentlemen:
I have been in the general practice of mcd

that in all my practice and experience,have
never seen a preparation that I could pre
scribe with as much confidence of success
as 1 can Hall's Catarrh Cure,manufactured
by you. Hive prescribed it a great many
times and its effect is wouderful,and would
sty iv conclusion tbat I have yet to find a
case of catarrh that it would not cure, if
they would take it according to directions.
Yours Truly,
L. __ Qorsuch, M D.,

We will give $100 for any case of Catarrh
that cannot be cured with Hall's Catarrh
