Of whtish light-trayersng the whole arca OF the
armament, composed OF thichly clustered

tIm or bed OF Suns, the length OF which Is very
great compared with its breadth, and rs breadth

this stupendous idea, DR.. Lardner exhibited copy
OF drawing made by Herschell to illustrate his
theory. The appearance OF this stratum IS that
OF an oblong bed of stars, in which they crowd

borne in mind that these words used with refer
ence set OF notions entirely different from those
with which are iamillar.) Now, Het.chell
counted for the apparent difference in the disrlbu

they have the appearance Of + white light;
and Herscheli supposed the Milky Wa - be q

borne out by appearances strongly corrobora-ive
OF them that the philosophical world mas generally

Aad now beg You to endeavor TO strain your

DIED, at her husbands residence on Sun
day evening last, Mrs. MARTHA Cochran,
consort OF James A. Cochran, Esq'r. in the
Both year of her age.
This affecting dispensation has bereft a
devoted husband Of the wife of his early af-
fections-a large family of tender and ju-
diclous parent when most dependent on a
mothers care, and a circle of numerous rela-
tlves and neighbors of an endearej friend.
Mrs. g. had long been member of the
Presbyterian Church, and the fearful eyes of
the sympathising neighbors who followed
her remains to the grave, bore faithful tes-
timony to the manner in which she had per-
formed her vows. Her lingering illness she
bore with truly christian meekness, submit
ting with cheerfulness to the Christening of
her God, and committing her dear family to
his care with mistaken confidence i'm his
mercy. How inestimable is that religion,
which converts the couch of suffering into
one of rejoicing, and transforms the angel of
death into a messenger of mercy How in
valuable the comforting assurance of that
word, which bids us in committing loved
one to the dust, to look with mistaken hope
to that glorious morn when ''the corruptible
shall put on interruption, and the mortal be
clothed with Immortality" L..

ANN SMITH ACADEMY.
LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA.

THE next regular session of ten months,
in this institution, will commence on We'd
nesday, the LIST of September. 1t is the ear
nest wish of the Principal, that young Ladies
should make arrangements, so as to be pre-
sent at the formation of the classes on that
day.
From the high character and standing, at
which the Ann Smith Academy has arrived,
and the ilattering terms, in which the public
prints have spoken of the very creditable
manner in which the young ladies acquitted
themselves at the late examination, a length
ened advertisement is not necessary. The
Institution now stands on its own merits, and
that standing, the Principal pledges himself,
that no exertions on his part shall be wanting
to maintain. In the Music department some
new Teachers have been employed for the en-
suing session; and from the care with which
the selection has been made, it is believed,
that this department will not be surpassed by
that of any other Institution in the country.

Sir-It will, without doubt, be incumbent
on the next Legislature to elect Judge of
the Court of Appeals. This being the SUI
preme Court Of the State, and court whose
decisions have the weight Of law, make it
necessary that no one should be appointed
who is not a profound lawyer-not only a
state lawyer, but acquainted, yes fully ac-
quainted with the laws of nations. For a
sound reasoner,a profound thinker,a good logi-
clan, persevering worker, and ready Judge,
none can be superior to the man propose.
He possesses fine genius, and many other
qualifications which it is not necessary TO
mention. l a!lude to the present able and
dignifed Senator from Augusta, JOHN
HOWE PEYTON. For many years Mr..
p. has practised at the bars of the Chance
ry Court and the Court of Appeals. He is
perfectly conversant with all the decisions of
our country, and the superior counts of Eng
land, and thoroughly acquainted with both
the principles and the practice of the Court
of Appeals. He stands distinguished at the
Stanton bar, which is justly considered the
strongest in the State. If elected, his deci-
sions, doubtless, will be always received with
that respect which ever attend the opinions of
an able jurist and an honest man.
1t is not my desire to lessen the merits of
others, when l say none filter can fill this

WAYNESBORO, august D, 1911.
Dear Sir-From the following facts and
circumstances, feel Ito be proper that |
should caution the public against company
of Circus-men and others, connected with a
Caravan of animals, who lately passed thro'
this county, and exhibited at this place on
Saturday last, and left for Port Republic on
Monday morning. A black girl of mine was
missing on Monday about o'clock, and was
seen in Port Republic the same evening about
dark. On Tuesday morning, when question
ed by some persons, the girl said she was
free. Some time after the party left, the fact
of the girl being with them and going off
with them gave rise to suspicion in Port Re-
public, and upon consultation among some
of the citizens, Mr.. Geo. Ulster determined
to follow on and bring the girl back, which
he did, and found her at M'Gaheysvile,
where the company were then exhibiting,
and without ceremony made the girl get up
behind him, and rode off with her to Port
Republic, where found her last EVENING"
will further state that 1 believe the girl was
conveyed from this place to Port Republic.
have thus given the facts of the case as far as
collected. l leave the public to draw their
: conclusions. GEO. BAYLOR.jr.
