Comfy Nominations.

On Monday last large meeting Of Wings and
Americans assembled in the Town Hall, in this
place, for the purpose of nominating candidates
for the House of Delegates. Elijah Hogshead,
ESQ. was called to the Chair, and Mr. Andrew
7. GilkesoE appointed Secretary. Before pro-
ceeding to business, the meeting was addressed
by the Hon. A. II. II. Stuart on the subject OF
the public lands, with his accustomed ability
and clearness. We shall hereafter probably
publish q synopsis of the speech. Mr.. Stuart
declined the nomination heretofore rendered
him for a seat in the Senate. After he retired
from the Hall a motion was submitted by j. D.
Imboden, ESQ.,, nominating Mr.. Stuart notwith-
standing his declination, which was carried with
ananimity and enthusiasm. A committee was
then appointed to wait upon Mr.. S. and inform
him of the action of the meeting. The commit
tee soon returned aud reported that MIR. 5. was
sincerely indisposed to become candidate, but
finally yielded to the urgent solicitations OF the
meeting and consented to be placed in nomina-
ton. This announcement was received with
loud applause.
The meeting then proceeded to vote for can
didates for the House of Delegates, which re-
suited in the nomination of Messrs. B. Christian,
Nathaniel Masse and J. Marshall McCue A
Committee waited upon these gentlemen, and
having been informed of their nomination, they
appeared before the body and signifed their ac-
ceptance.
The ticket thus nominated is highly creditable
to the county. We have neither time nor space
to say more of it at present, but more anon"

Rever,s View off Stanntnn

1t will be recolleeted by our readers that Mr..
Boyer, German artist, painted view of Staun-
ton, last Summer, which was universally admired
for its accuracy and beauty. Since then he has
visited his native country, and had the painting
Autographed and colored at Dresden, in Saxony.
Mrs. Boyer is now in town with supply of the
Autographs, offering them for sale. They are
but little inferior in beauty to the painting, and
we do not doubt that many of our citizens will
purchase, in addition to those who originally
subscribed. The price is So copy, and we
think the picture richly worth the money.
Mrs. Boyer has also portfolio of eight views
in different parts of the State, taken by her hus-
band, which she sells at the same price.

ACluitted.

On Wednesday last young man named Hous-
ton Brady, son of Mr. Andrew Brady, was ar
rested in this place upon the charge of breaking
into the Post Office at Scottsville. He had just
arrived on the cars, but the conductor having q
warrant for his arrest, it was Immediately placed
in the hands of the officers and promptly except
ed. Young Brady was taken back to Scottsville
without delay, and we are gratifed to learn that
after an examination before Magistrate he was
acquitted of the charge, The Post Office had
been feloniously entered by some one, and Brady,
who is quite young and inexperienced, being in
formed that he was suspected, fled home to his
parents. There is said to be no evidence against
him whatever.
P.S.-Since the above was put in type, we
learn that Brady was discharged upon giving
nominal bail

Weather Reports.

We take il for granted that our readers feel an
interest in the 'Weather Reports" which we
have published monthly since January last, and
one of which is inserted on the first page of this
paper. Nothing interests universal humanity"
more than that never failing topic of con versation,
the weather; and yet there is nothing in regard
to which the memory is more unreliable For
instance, while passing along the street with one
of our neghbors, on Saturday evening the 18th
inst, conversation as usual turned upon the
weather and the backwardness of the season, and
he remarked that he had never before seen snow
which fell in the morning remain so long on the
ground at that period of the year. We agreed
with him, but on turning to memorandum book
after getting home, we ascertained that at s o.
clock at night of the 21st of April, last year, the
ground was covered with VITO the depth Of
two and half inches These Reports will be
useful for reference on many occasions hereafter,
if persons will take the trouble to preserve them.

GuupOwder Accident.

One day last week 1t was reported that the
House of Mr.. John J. Clarke, who resides in the
vicinity of this place, had been blown up the e.
vening before and one of his children killed
Public sympathy was of course painfully excited,
but after an hour or two it was ascertained tbat
the house was uninjured and the child only
slightly burned. The escape, however, a very
narrow one, and furnishes another warning a.
gainst the careless use of gunpowder. Some
men who had been blasting rock left the powder
within reach of the children, who undertook to
amuse themselves by igniting small portions OF
it, Finally, by some means which the children
cannot explain, the whole cask took fire and ex-
nloded

Announcement.
70 the Patrons of the staunton Spectator.

Since the last issue OF the Spectator" an ar
rangement has been consummated between Mr.
Richard Mauzy, Editor and Proprietor OF the
"Staunton True American" and ourselves, by
which the two establishments have been con-
solidated, the new arrangement to take erect
from the 1st day of May, 1857. The publication
of the "American," as an independent paper,
ceased with its issue of the 25th instant and the
first issue of the united papers will be made on
Wednesday the 9th day of May, under the same
name BY which this journal has been SO long
known to the public. Mr.. Mauzy becomes
Joint proprietor with us in the business, and
while the editorial control and business manage
ment of the Spectator" have been assigned to
us exclusively, will doubtless contribute fire.
ouently and acceptably to the editorial columns
The spectator" will be sent in future to sach
of the subscribers to the 'True American" as
NAV desire to receive it, ard as we have no as
position to thrust the paper upon any VINO 10
mot desire it, those who wish the paper discon-
timed will confer favor by so informing us i'm
uediately. The large increase of our list will
compel us to discontinue the papers of all those
who do not pay regularly and promptly; and
oil new subscribers from this date will be ex-
pected to pay the subscription price IN advance.
As far as possible, the cash principle will be a.
aopted in all departments of the business, and
sl who fail to pay for the paper in advance, or at
Least during the year, will be charged $3.50 per
onnum Or in other words, the subscription
price of the paper will be $3.50 per annum
which may be discharged by the payment OF 81
within the year. We trust that all the present
subscribers to the "Speotator" and all the pat
rops of the american" to whom the ''Specta-
tori NAV now be sent, viii perceive the propri-
ety of this rule, and not be disposed to complain
when it is rigidly enforced. The cash expenses
of the establishment will necessarily be largely
increased, and provision should be made to
meet them. In the advertising and Job Depart
ments of the business, liberal deductions will be
made for cash, and all charges for such service
will be considered due when the work is done.
To the business public, the 'otaunton Spec
tatorn now presents itself without rival, and
offers advantages as all advertising medium, such
as are.rarely afforded by one newspaper. The
combination of the two lists, gives to the paper
most extensive circulation. With all the addi-
tional advantages, however, wepropose to make
no increase of charges The terms will be pub
lished prominently and constantly in the paper,
and the crowded condition of our columns will
render strict adherence to those terms, abso-
lutely imperative.
Under its new proprietorship, and with its
new business principles, the old Spectator" will
commence operations on Wednesday next, and
