Waynesboro Academy, and to
which we call tin* special attention
of all parents and guardians who
feel an interest in the proper and
correct education of their children
or wards. We hardly know what
more to say than we have already
; said in advocacy of this institution,
but at the risk of being tiresome,
we \v ill repeat that under the man
agement of its present efficient
corps of teachers—than whom there
is not a more intelligent, faithful or
| energetic set of teachers occupying
| any academy in the’ State—the
j academy lias been placed in the
I front rank of our institutions of
learning, where it can only he kept
by that liberal patronage which it
evidently so well merits. Those
wliojhave children to educate should
feel it to be both a duty and a pride
to give their home school that libe
ral patronage which will enable the
trustees not only to keep it up to
its present high standard—where
tl 10 combined olForts of teachers and
trustees have placed it—but will
enable the trustees to advance its
efficiency and increase its influ
ence. No one can dispute this pol
icy, even on the grounds of econo
my. Waynesboro can, and ought
to be, made a central point Ofeduca-
I tion, not only for our own county,
but for tlu* surrounding and ailjn-
j cent cOmties. The idea that our
children cannot be educated as well
j at home as at some distant school,
is simply egregious nosense—to say
| nothing of the danger your sons and
your daughters run,when away from
! the watchful care of parents, of ac
quiring that knowledge where
knowledge is shame. We have
made this appeal for our academy
because we feel a deep interest in
all our worthy institutions and en
terprises—and the subject of the
education of our youth the most im
portant.

general throughout the county last
week. AVe are burning up for want
of rain. The small ponds and
streams are dried up, and the wells
are failing. Alan and beast are
suffering, anil the effects of tlu*
drouth are likely to be felt for some
time to come. Our summer crops
are cut off fully 50 per cent., scarcely
any vegetables are to be had, anil
unless rain falls soon there will be

The strong winds which have pre

withered vegetation terribly.
On Monday last, Messrs. J. A.
Rodgers A Co., had the terrible mis
fortune to lose their blacksmith and
wheelwright shops by fire. It took
fire about 2 o’clock, p. m., from
sparks from their planing mill, and
so rapid was the progress of the
llames that it was impossible to
save any of the contents of the
building—the books and papers
alone were saved. The loss is
estimated at $2,500—no insurance.
How, the planing mill, which was
separated-from the burnt shops by
a space of only fifteen feet was
saved, can only be accounted for as
the result of the determined effort
of those who happened to be pres
ent. The wind was blowing almost
a gale at the time, and for a few
moments, which seemed hours, our
little town bid fair to be reduced to
ashes. The loss sustained by this
company will be felt throughout
tlu* community, as they did an ex
tensive business with the fanners.
[The loss falls with peculiar
severity upon Air. J. A. Rodgers,
who had tin* savings of years of
labor and economy invested in this
to realize the proceeds of his invest
ment. Our sympathies are tender
ed to tlie company, and especially
AH - . It., in this hour of his calamity.
We hope they will rebuild immedi
ately.—Ed. Git.]

Several of our young gentlemen
have sent North for a new article
called tlie “patent adjustable claw
hammer coat tail,” a new device
that can be attached to any ordinary
boh-taileil coat, when one wishes to
appear in full dress, and is very
valuable on account of its great
economy. ()ur young gents deserve
much credit for this step, inasmuch
as hard times are close on us, and
money is going to be tight. We
trust that some genius will shortly
invent something that will discount
the expenses of the female gear in
about the same proportion. When
this is done, tlu* old man can have a
little balance in bank.
