Centennial Excursion.—A very large excursion started from this place on Monday last for a ten days trip to the Centennial. Ninety-six through tickets were sold from Staunton, quite a number at the way stations between this place and Harrisonburg, and about one hundred and twenty-five at Harrisonburg. The unusually low rates induced many to go, who would, otherwise, have never seen the great world's fair. We understand that in all probability another excursion will be gotten up about the first of October.
