ELECTION OF PROFESSORS FOR RANDOLPH
MACON COLLEGE. The committee appointed
by the trustees of Randolph Macon College to
elect professors to fill the chairs Of mathemat-
les, ancient languages, chemistry, and natural
philosophy, met in Richmond on the lst inst.
To the chair of ancient languages Thomas
R. Price, Jr., Esq, was elected.
R. NJ. Smith, Esq, of Petersburg, was
elected professor of, natural science. $
The important chair of mathematics was
filed by the election of Professor 81. Estell,
now professor of mathematics at Washington
college. ,a
Randolph Macon will open at Ashland on the
lst of October With DR.. Duncan and his tai
ented assistants, the college has a pomising
prospect.
The advices from Europe again bear war
like complexion. 1t is feared that the Empire,
which is 'Peace, is about to show that it has,
like our Radicals, peculiar definition Of that
blessed word, and the opinion steadily gains
ground that France will soon be resonant with
the tread of her armies marching to the Rhen-
ish frontier. v.5

faith in ghosts than lightning rods.

ABOUT CoAL.-The coal-diggers of the
city advertise a meeting at the Police
Court room this evening. 1t Is but JUS
tice to them that the public should
know their grievances, so we give them
as we have them from one of their num-
Der. He says the digger agrees with his
employer to dig his coal at so much pei
hundred bushels. When the coal is dug
it is measured in cars. The dig
ger is allowed for twenty five
bushels for each car he fills
When the coal is run out of the
bank it is run over screen
through which about one-fOurth passes
What passes over the screen is sold tc
customers for twenty-five bushels, ant
the remaining eight or nine bushels are
sold as fine or nut coal. The owner o.
the bank pays for the digging of but
twenty-five bushels, while he sells from
thirty-three to thirty-five bushels
thereby cheating the digger out
of about one-fourth Of his labor. Some
eighteen months ago the digger was PAID
four dollars per hundred bushels, now
he gets but three; yet coal sells at the
same price it did then. The object o.
their meeting tonight is to adopt meas
ures to insure them just compensation
for their labor.

A DAsTARDLY, CoNTEMPTIBLE Act
On Monday night the Radicals in the
neighborhood of Pleasant Hill, Marshall
county, as we are credlbly in
formed, cut down the hickory pole
which was put up OH Saturday last, and
where J. II. Good addressed the great
multitude of Democrats and Conserva-
tives on the same day. To be guilty Of
such a cowardly, contemplate act only
bespeaks the meanness of the spirit
which prompted it. But it is only in
keeping with the acts Of the party,
from Congress down to the snarling,
defaming spirit that breathes through
the Wheeling Iatelligencer. Mad at the
just judgments of the people, now con-
demning their corrupt, inhuman, dia-
bolical course, they steep to any act,
however debasing, to crafty the
devilishness of their revenge. Go on.
Rejoice and revel in the deeds of your
demopiac malignity; but remember that
for all this, the day cometh in which
you will declare you have no pleasure
in them.

brisk in this court. Yesterday morning

orderly conduct was fined 5 and cost

George MCGEE, who had left his cart

cart where he pleased, was fiued 81 aud
cost.
Richard Miller, who "ssems" to be
"brick," was srraigned for creating tn
multi and disorder, was up for hearing
The case was plain violation Of the or

ceny committed in Ohio. And
it appearing from the abundance Of
testimony that Loretta was the one
who had officiated in taking away the
property of Mr.. Keeline, and that Mr..
Bodwing had done nothing more than
advise and assist her in moving her
things, &C., the Justice decided to dis
miss Mr.. Bodwing and hold Loretta for q
requisition from the authorities of Ohio.
Loretta, however, was given the unen-
viable alternative of either going to
Ohio and standing an examination, and
abiding the result, or of going to jail
and awaiting the tedious procedure OF
requisition for her appearance on the
other side of the river. Loretta chose
the first clause of the proposition and
went over to Bridgeport. As the par
ties were passing along eur streets we
could hear the elder and younger Mrs.
Baer bandying some harsh words in
German.

New Seeding STRAWBERRY "PREsI'
DENT WILDER" - In the September
number of the american Journal Of HOr.
ticulture the publishers announce that
they have purchased of Colonel Wilder
the entire stock of his new Seeding
Strawberry, which they propose to offer
subscribers of 1869, giving each two
plants. The we'll known reputation OF
Colonel Wilder, and the fact that he
would not allow his name to be associ-
ated with anything but the best, will
make the demand for "the President
Wilder Strawberry" very large; and as
it can be had only by subscribing for
the American Journal Of Horticulture,
we advise our readers to send in their
names early, so that they may secure
the plants, Specimen copies of the
"Joaradp may be seen at this office.

BEFORE JUSTICE JoHNsTON.-There
was case up before Squire Johnston
yesterday, rather complicated in its
nature. Justice Johnston, however,
soon unraveled the web, and promptly
decided the case.
1t appeared that an old widow lady,
living in Bridgeport, Ohio, with whom
lived her son and his wife, went to Mr..
Keeline, also living near Bridgeport,
and purchased bureau and some chairs.
Subsequently her son left the compan-
ion of his bosom, and departed for some
place unknown. The widow. Mrs. Baer,
then went to Mr.. Keeline, and asked
him, that inasmuch as sine had not paid
for the furniture, if he would not take it
back. He agreed to do SO, but asked
the privilege of letting it remain in
her house for few days. In a
short time her dsughter-in-law, Mrs.
Loretta Baer, took it into her
head to remove to this city. She had Sc
cured the assistance Of one Philip Bod
wing, who went with an express wagon
for her goods. Mrs. Baer, the elder,
learning that her daughter-in-law in
tended to take the goods of Mr.. Kee'
line away with her, dispatched mes
senger to Keeline aud informed him OF
the fact. Keeline went to the house OF
Mrs. Baer, and was informed that the
younger Mrs. Baer had changed bel
mind and intended to act honestly. Mr.
Keeline went home to his breakfast and
then returned, when he found the yoaug
Mrs. Baer had gone aud had taken the
property with her. He instituted Q
search for the young Mrs. Baer, but he
could not find her whereabouts. Hi
sent an officer from Bridgeport to oul
city, who, after making diligent inquir
les for three days, succeeded in finding
! the residence of Mrs. Baer the younger

loading his cart with pig-metal yester-
day, near the Top Mill, and on the shore
where the metal had been left by the
boat, his horse took notion to start
with the load before the driver was
quite ready. He ran some little distance
scattering the pig-metal in every direc-
ton, when he ran into the river. This
rather cooled his ardor for race, and
he concluded to stop. The driver SEEM

of the horse, and quietly picking up his
