A donation was had at the parsonage of Rev. G.W. WALKER's, at Lexington, on January 31st., 1877. A good social time was had, beside many useful and valuable gifts of material and money amounting to fifty-five dollars -- twenty-five dollars of which was in cash. A house and lot for sale cheap. Inquire of A.H. REDDING, Esq. A DASTARDLY ACT. A most dastardly act was perpetrated in this place on last Tuesday night. About midnight a terrible crash was heard of glass falling to the pavement, and which aroused the neighborhood. The facts are as follows: It proved to be Vandorn & Waddell's Drug Store. Nearly the whole of the glass in the front was broken. The missiles used were a car link weighing twelve pounds, a car pin weighing over 7 lbs., two stones weighing over 2 and 4 pounds, respectively; also a number of bottles filled with a mixture of coal tar and a benzine or turpentine making a very inflammable mixture, six of which went inside the room, and one of which seemed to have been aimed at a burning lamp. One of the heavy missiles passed about where Mr. A.C. VANDORN had usually slept, but as luck would have it he had moved his cot on this occasion. There was a number of lamps and other articles broken and the curtains destroyed. The show-cases and nearly the whole room was daubed with the sticky inflammable material. The door had been secured by a rope passing from the knob to the hitching post. All circumstances considered, some judge that the intention was to kill or disable A.C. VANDORN and burn the building. No clue that we have heard of is had of the perpetrators, and we are not aware of any suspicion being had toward any one. We tender our sincere thanks to the many neighbors and friends, who so generously administered to the wants of our wife and mother, and to us, during her illness, death and burial. -- J. HOWARD and Family. LIST OF LETTERS -- The following is a list of unclaimed letters remaining in the Post-office. If not called for within 30 days, they will be forwarded to the Dead Letter Office, Washington, D.C.: L. AZALIAH, R.E. COFFELT, WM. DILLON, CHARLES HABLY, WM. HARKINS, Mrs. D.W. JOHNSTON, Mrs. C.A.
