We were afraid that the Wing party of
Fa.had drawn its expiring breath and that
the painful duty would devolve upon the
democrats to sing dirge over their fallen foe
and then proceed to inter it with decency.
But we were mistaken It was not dead, but
only asleep and though We believed that de-
composition had already commenced, on Mon
day night last amid rain and darkness and a
terrible gust, it stalked forth in its hideous
and disgusting attire and took up its position
Corinthian Hall. A dilapidated gentleman
arose and in sepulchral voice called anoth-
er spectre to the chair. The ghosts then all
sat in silence and awaited the command of
of their chairman. The chairman according
ly arose and in husky voice rated about
Wings and. Whiggery, until all were about
sinking into repose, when our Chairman
took his seat. After while, A. crane
made his appearance, and after peering eau
tiously around to be sure that there was no
danger to his elongated beak, squeaked and
yelled till all the dry bonss ratified with fear
for their feathered companion. After few
more Intellectual struggles. the meeting ad-
journed, and the ghosts returned to their
resting places. Peace to their bones.

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE correspondent
Of the Lynchburg Republican, writing from
Christianburg, under date Of December Is,
says:
A Mrs. Clark, of Pulaski who was in the
custody Of friends on her way to Staunton.
while at the house of Mr.. Samuel Barnett,
in Roanoke, committed suicide by cutting
her arm open with razor. She had been
searched by the men who had her in charge
but it seems she had concealed the razor in
her stocking. She passed from the room in
which the guard was to her room which
was adjoining tied cord around her arm,
opened it with the razor, and laid down to
bleed to death, talking to the men in the
other room the while. She leaves [ under
stand, several children; among others an
infant about one month old. Her CORPSE
was taken by this place yesterday on it's
way home.

discussed, the name of an American Sena-
tor (Summer) now on the continent, is Of
ten mentioned as having contributed to the
result"
All in the fog again, for, according to

MANY VorERs
Marriage in 1858.


The Year 1858 has been more fruitful
than all other previous years in the number
Of its marriages!
How do we know. that, Cupid was 50
unusually energetic in 1858? Each man :
observation Of the circle Of his own acquain-
lance will prove it to some extent. Reader
say whether you did not have greater num-
Der of your friends and acquaintance mar
ried in 1858 than ever occurred before in the
same space of time. We did, ifyou did not:
and if you being bachelor, did not get
married or have not laid the foundation of
welded prospects by becoming engaged to
somebody you must have had b ad luck, or a
very hard face, or very poor taste. Every
ones own experience and observation. then
of what occurred in his own community, is
pretty fair criterion, it being reasonably
presumed that marriages are governed by the
law Of general average and equal distribu-
ton. The public announcements and mott
ces Of the press will also show that the star
Of matrimony was more in the ascendant
in 1858 than it has ever been before. We
are close observer Of all these things, (be-
ing an old bachelor,) and we must say that
the number Of Cupid's advertisements in the
newspapers Of 1858 was unprecedented.
But there is more reliable and infallible
argument for the truth Of our proposition
still to be adduced. In the Clerks Office Of
each Of our County Courts is kept record
of all Births, Marriages and Deaths occur
ring annually in each county. We have in
many counties in Virginia. compared the
marriage record for 1858 with that of other
years and in almost every instance have
found that 1858 has surpassed them all in
the number of it's victims in this respect
We have similar information through friends
and the papers from other parts of the Union
all conclusive of the truth Of our proposition.
