PULVIS INULAE COMPOSITUS.
Compound Powder of Elecampane.
This powder is a very useful cathartic, operating mildly, and yet effectually. It is used in looseness, and other diseases connected with a laxity or debility of the intestinal canal ; it evacuates the bowels of their vitiated contents, and acts upon them as a gentle tonic. In the treatment of indigestion it is a useful purgative ; and where, from debility of the digestive organs, much acid is generated, it corrects and evacuates the crudities, and thereby removes spasms, pains and gripings in the bowels. It also promotes perspiration and expectoration, and therefore is very useful to remove the pain in pleurisy, cures spitting of blood, catarrh, coughs, phthisic, and other affections of the chest.
Directions for using this powder.
A grown person can take a table spoonful of this powder, in half a tea-cupful of fresh water, every four hours, until it begins to purge, then no more during that day. If it cannot be taken in this manner, each dose may be made into tea, by pouring nearly a tea cupful of boiling water over it, and after it has become cold it may be strained through a flannel or linen rag, and then taken cold.
It may be taken every day, or every other or third day, as it may be found necessary, always beginning to use it in the morning early.
A child of one year old, may take one eighth part of a table-spoonful; a child of two years old, one fifth ; of three, one fourth; from three to five, one third; from five to seven, one half; from seven to fourteen, two thirds ; and over fourteen, as a grown person.
Should the doses obove directed not purge any the first day, larger doses may be taken every day, until it is ascertained what quantity is sufficient to keep the bowels moderately open.
The days on which this powder is taken, the diet and drink are to be as follows :
The DRINK may be, milk whey, water gruel, balm tea, tea of wheat bran or of straw berry tops, barley tea, store tea, lemonade, chicken broth having the fat skimmed off, or weak beef broth, or the liquor of boiled dried apples, peaches, pears, or cherries, or of fresh apples cut into slices and boiling water poured over them, or cold water poured over slippery elm bark. These drinks may be drank cold or warm, as they agree best.
The DIET may be, roasted apples, gruels, or rice boiled in milk or in chicken-broth; also weak soups of any kind, toasted bread moistened with cream and sweetened with sugar; also, pies, tarts, boiled fruits, coffee, chocolate, and butter-milk.
Refrain from spirits, sweet milk, cider, beer, much cold water, hard salted food, butter, cheese, eggs, sour crout, puddings, beef, bacon, and pork.
This powder is prepared only in New-Market, Shenandoah, Va. by
Dr. SOLOMON HENKEL.

THE FUNNY BOY-EXTRA.
STAUNTON, MAY 1, 1863.
The Funny Boy.
PETER I KURTZ, Editor.
STAUNTON, MAY 1st, 1863.
The Editor of the “FUNNY BOY,” who has sustained many misfortunes in life, who is a man of sorrow and acquainted with grief, attributes all his ill-success and unhappiness to a fatal passion formed in his boyhood. At the age of eighteen he became deeply enamored of Miss LAURIE, a first cousin, and a young lady of fascinating manners and extraordinary beauty. For the benefit of the young and susceptible, his melancholy experience is related in the following poetical correspondence :
Staunton 1832.
Dear cousin I love you, say can you return,
The tender motions which in my breast burn.
Signed
Peter Independence Kurtz.
Sleepy Hollow, April 1832.
To Peter I. Kurtz Esq.
Respected Sir :—I’m grateful to say,
Your letter reached me after some delay ;
I will inform you now while I have leisure,
Its contents filled me with both grief and pleasure.
Pleasure to think that I am loved by you,
And grief to think your chances are so blue.
But truth demands that I should let you know,
I never can regard you as my beau,
Tho’ not inclined to go ’neath your dominion,
Still I am flattered by your good opinion,
And deeply feel the honor you design,
In wishing me forever to be thine.
Yet than thyself, there’s no man in the nation,
I prize more highly as a near relation.
And I sincerely hope you’ll feel for me,
The same esteem I entertain for thee.
Adieu, dear sir, and when you wish to marry,
Pray think of some one else than cousin LAURA.
SHE SMILES ON ME AGAIN.
By Peter Indepence Kurtz.
I courted once a lovely girl,
Her name I cannot tell;
But this I know, no gem or pearls,
Could please me half so well.
Her auburn hair, in graceful folds,
On neck and bosom rest;
Her dark brown eyes have often told,
The secrets of her breast.
Those sparkling orbs could not refrain,
But told a tale most sweet;
She did within her heart retain,
An ardent love for PETE.
But some base wretch with evil art,
On eagle’s wings did fly ;
And told the darling of my heart,
A base and wilful lie.
She cast me off as well she might,
When those foul lies she heard ;
And I was left in sorrows night,
To mourn for my lost bird.
But to my love a friend I sent,
Who cleared away the stain;
And now with sparkling eyes intent
She smiles on me again
The scarcity of RAGS and the exorbitant price of paper, is our apology for our diminished sheet.

<em>Statement of original ownership and transcription of the document pasted on the back of the document. <br /><br />Statement of original ownership of this copy:</em> <br /><br />This petition is not dated, but it is placed in Palmer’s Calendar of Virginia State Papers as belonging to the year 1733, which is probably the correct date. <br />This copy is the property of John W. Wayland, Harrisonburg, Virginia. It is quoted on pages 35, 36 of Wayland's "The German Element of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia," published in 1907, but the names appended are not accurately given. The author at that time had not seen the original or this photostat copy.<br /><br /><em>Transcription of the handwritten document:<br /><br /></em> To the Hon,ble William Gooch, Esq. Lieutenant Governor & Commander in Chief of this Colony, And to the Honourable his Majesties Council — <br /><br />The petition of the Subscribers humbly Shews <br />That About four years past they purchased five thousand Acres of land of one Jacob Stover & paid him a great Sum of money for the same Amounting to Upwards of four hundred pounds, that yr. petitioners were informed & believed sd. Stover had a good right & title to the said land, that Immediately after the sd. Purchase they sold all their lands & Sevrl other things in the County of Lancaster & Province of Pennsylvania where they then lived & came & Seated on the land they had bought of the sd. Stover, And Cleared Sevrl Plantations & made Great Improvements thereon, Since which they have been Informed that the sd. land (known by the name of Masanutting) is Claimed by one William Beverley Gent, & the sd. Beverley hath brought suit agst. the sd. Stover for the same, in the Honble. the Generall Court. <br /><br />Yr. Petitioners further Shew that Should the sd. Beverley recover the sd. land that he will turn yr. petrs. out of Doors or Oblige them to give much more for their lands & plantations than they are worth, Which will Intirely ruin yr. peters. And yr. petrs. cannot recover anything again, of the sd. Stover to make them Amends for the Loss of their said Lands, plantations, &c. he being very poor, And Daily Expected to Runaway. <br /><br />Wherefore yr. Petitioners humbly hope, that as they are not Privy to any fraud done by the sd. Stover in Obtaining the sd. land, & yr. petrs. being Dutchmen & not Acquainted with the laws here concerning lands, & Imagined the sd. Stovers right to be good, & have Run the hazard of their lives & Estates, in removing from Pennsylvania to the sd. land being above two hundred Miles, & at a time when there was very few Inhabitants in them parts of Sherrando & they frequently Visited by the Indians, And at this time yr. peters. have Nine plantations & fifty one people old & Young thereon, & Expect to have two more Familys to seat on the sd. land this Spring (none of which are any of the persons the sd.

Augusta Stone Church
(ENLARGED)
Dedicated January 22, 1922
The enlargement of Augusta Stone Church was not prompted by sentimental reasons— for sentiment naturally pulled in the opposite direction; and not by ostentation—that is not the characteristic of the descendants of unprotentious forbears. Certainly it was not prompted by a desire to dispose of surplus wealth—that not being necessary in the country church at present—but entirely by an imperative need for Sunday school equipment and to meet the needs of enlarged hopes and efforts for expansion and development, so characteristic of all aggressive, forward-looking churches of today.
That the people have co-operated by their faith and prayers with the wise, tactful, and faithful building committee is evidenced by the building you cccupy today, Messrs. Edward McKim McCue, chairman, J. F. Brooks, T. J. Roller, Millard Johnson, and J. M. McCue being the committee, Major C. S. Roller, Jr., chairman of finance committee, and Jno. D. Palmer treasurer of building fund.
This enlarged equipment means enlarged responsibility upon the church for better service to the immediate community; its two outposts, Bezetha and New Hope, and a deepening of our interest in the work of the church at large, and especially in our two representatives at the front, Miss See in Brazil, and Mr. Gilliam in Africa.

Augusta Stone Church
1749-1922
Dedicated January 22, 1749
There is no record of the length of time our forefathers were engaged in building the Old Stone Church. Under conditions then existing, it possibly took several years to collect the material and fashion it into such a building. The stones and timbers used were, likely, secured at no great distance from the site chosen for the building. Tradition says the sand for the mortar was carried by the women, on pack horses, several miles; not over good roads, but over rugged and ungraded bridle-paths. The work was well done, and the mortar became almost as hard as the stones it bound together. The church was completed and the dedication took place January 22, 1749, just one hundred and seventy-three years ago. Augusta Church has had ten pastors—the first four pastorates covering a period of one hundred and twenty years. Rev. John Craig was pastor from 1740-1774. Rev. William Wilson from 1780-1810. Rev. Conrad Speece from 1813 to 1836. Rev. William Brown from 1836-1860, Rev. F. W. Bowman from 1861-1868. Rev. I. W. K. Handy from 1870-1878. Rev. Alexander Sprunt from 1879-1885. Rev. G. L. Bitzer from 1885-1889. Rev. J. N. Van Devanter from 1891-1917. Rev. John B. Gordon from 1917 to the present time.

VINDICATOR - EXTRA.
Fatal Riot in Danville
THREE NEGROES KILLED
Two White Men Mortally Wounded.
[Special Telegram to the Staunton Vindicator.]
Danville, Va.
Sunday, Nov. 4, 1 A. M.
Yesterday afternoon the white people of Danville held a mass meeting to endorse the statements in the Danville circular, and to denounce the statements of the Coalition Mayor, contradicting them.
While the meeting was in session a crowd of Negroes gathered in front of the building, some of them jeering the Democrats who were passing in. Presently a negro and a highly respectable young white man had a difficulty on the street. A large crowd of negroes gathered around the scene. The negro was severely punished by the white man and several negroes in the crowd then drew pistols and dared the white men, who also had gathered around the scene, to come on.
One of the negroes fired a pistol at a group of five white men and thereupon a fusilade of firearms ensued in which about one hundred shots were fired. The negroes scattered in every direction and the white men held the ground.
Three negroes were killed and two were wounded, one of whom will probably die.
Among the white men shot was Mr. Walter H. Holland, who is dangerously wounded in the head, and it is feared mortally. He is one of the most promising young men of Danville, and his sad fate has cast a gloom over the community. He is a son of C. G. Holland, Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Committee of this District and one of the wealthiest citizens of Danville.
Mr. J. B. Seward, another of the white men was shot through the body and will probably die.
All is quiet at the date of this telegram.
Danville Register.
Later.
The Mayor of Danville has called on Governor Cameron for troops and the 1st Va. Regiment of Richmond has received orders to hold itself in readiness.
