\ WITTY CIAr.-The late Dr. Chap

who will laugh at his wit no more, has
left behind him memory that will be

politcncss and becoming gravity to the
gentleman at the head of the pew near
est the chancel, who was not disposed to
contribute. The faithful collector, moth
ing daunted, held the plate before him,
bowed as if he would urge him to think
the matter over and give something,
and would not go on till he had seen the
money on the plate. In this way he
proceeded down the aisle, victimizing
every man, till he came to the pew
nearest the door, where sat IN aged col
ored woman. TO his surprise she laid
down piece of gold.
Dear men said the astonished doctor
'you must be a Guinea niggcr"
They never troubled the doctor to go

'Why doctor, you don't mean such a

Davis to be Killed if Found on Uni

~ " washington correspondent Oh TIC
EEie t3aenla.a Dispatch writes as follows,
which he says he can testify to:
When it was found that Davis was to
go on bail, i matter which every ono
here looks upon as actual discharge, the
excitement among the veteran soldiers
knew no bounds, The result had been
published days before, and half expect
ing il, Il meeting was called, at which
some sixty discharged soldiers were
present, who bound themselves sacrcdly
together under the name of the "Andcr-
sonvillc League every member sub
scribing to a solemn oath that ii justice
failed its duty they would take justice
in their own hands.
This brotherhood no man was quail
fled 10 enter but who had suffered either
from wounds or imprisonment in the
rebel pens during the war. It now cx-
tends To New York, Philadelphia and
Boston. While the bail was being ar
ranged by the court at Richmond on the
day set for trial, a paper was handed in
TO Davis council, Charles U'Connor, Of
New Work, warniur him III tn" oxis-
tence of such league and naming two
men in the court room rs members.
These men were seized upon rs they left
the room, on mock charge, and taken
to JAIL and were not released until
week after, when Davis arrived in New
York. 1t will be remembered that Da-
Wis arrived in New York in the night
time; that he kept himself secluded a.
mnch as possible while at the New
York hotel. no one being admitted but
those who were personally known to
some one of the party; that he was sud
denly removed from the hotel to Brook
lyn, where he remained until his do
at hn lsft al.
and in disguise for Montreal, his party
and family following only when he had
teiegraphcd there of his safc arrival
W hen IT i understood that the brother
hood are upon his track, and that he
was concio,s OF it, this strange conduct
Is easily accounted for. According to
the oath, AZ louG as he remains upon for
eign ground he is safe. so it is hardly
probable that he will again set foot upon
the soil Of the United States, and at
lsat nutil he feel easier in mind than
sa present. ~~

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, !
October 9Th, 1867.
At meeting of the Washington Society of
the University of Virginia. the following pream-
BILE and resolutions were presented and unani-
mously adopted: 3sA4hs
Whereas, in the mysterious wisdom of AL
mighty God our honored and esteemed friend,
A. H. III. STUART. JR., has been called from the
walks of lite to enter the dark valley and shad-
Whereas, 1.-The silver chord hath been loosed,
the golden bowl broken;' 1.-THE dust hath return
ed to the earth as it was, and the spirit unto God
who gave it." therefore,
ResoJved 1st, That in this dispensation of Di-
vine Providence we recognize another impressive
warning come to teach us that sin the midst of
life we are in DEATH
RESOLVED 2,ad That in the death of A. 81. Fl.
STUART, Jr., the Washington Society has lost a
member whose strong right arm was extended in
her darkest hour of trial to lift her from the ashes
of her desolatiOn and make her once more q
bright and shining light; one whose dignifed
and gentlemanly demeanor, whose nobeness of
soul and unblemished reputation rendered him
an ornament to her hall; and one in whose unob-
trusive virtues and manly character, we recog-
nized an undercurrent of deep and powerful in
| tellect, which with his accustomed application
and indomitable energy was destined to have
| made him brilliant ornament to his family and
friends; strong and shining pillar in the Wash
lngton Society which the accumulating friction of
| coming years could but have FURNISHED into more
effulgent brightness; and a orthy and infuen-
tal member of society, whose power and exam
| pie must have been felt in whatever sphere he
| might have been called to act.
| RESOLVED 3rd Thatwe tender to the family and
| friends of the deceased, our sincere coincidence
and sympathy in the hour of trial, assuring them
that while they bend in heartbroken anguish over
| the tomb of departed relative the Washington
Society sheds scarcely less bitter tears over the
| grave of her fallen son. e.1Sa
ResoIued 4th, That in testimony of theirrespect
and regard for the memory of the deceased, the
members of the Washington Society wear the
usual badge of mourning for thirty days.
RESOLVED 18th, That these resolutions be spread
ed to the family and friends of the deceased, and
also to the Staunton Spectator and Charlottesville
| Ctronicle with request for their publication.

nRRICKs."

Bricks are made out of bad boys, and the pro-
cess requires but little natural talent Still, there
is a course to be pursued and the following is
deemed the most successful:
1. Swear on all occasions especially when in
company.
q Make sport of all good people-your pa
rents most of all.
g. Spend all the money you can get-get it any
way you can.
f. Drink on all extra occasions and get tipsy
whenever there's good chance to makea fool of
yourself.
5. Learn to play euchre seven-up and draw
poker, with the facility of a tilt-hammer.
G. Make it a rule to steal something every Sun
day if you but cut button from neighbors
coat during church services.
Z. Spend as much time possible in lounging
about street corners.
8. Make yourself generally good-for-nothing.
After completing this course, it will require but
little practice to become a hummer, andy you may
then congratulate yourself upon the fact that you
are disgrace to your friends and relations.

HORSE THIEF LEAGUE.

The citizens of Mt. Meridian and vicinity, who
organized themselves into society some months
ago, for protection against horse thieves, held a
meeting on Saturday the 5th instant and reeeiv-
ed into their organization the following members
Frank Harris, David Byerley, S. Crickenberger,
Sam Root w. ID. Swan, VIM. Bell Crawford,
Matthias Kirsh and j. l.. Bocock. We are
gratiied to learn that this society is in successful
operation and has proved efficient in accomplish
ing the end for which it was organized, as there
has not been horse stolen in that neighborhood
since its organization. We would recommend
the formation of similar leagues in other sections
where horse thieves are in the habit of commit
ting depredations. The Society numbers 48 mem
