LEXINGTON, VA, April 5, 1869.
To-day was our regular county court
dav.E and an unusual crowd assembled to
see our new rulers swallow the iron-clad /"
and enter upon their duties. !.
There was q meeting Of the Board Of
Trustees Of Washington College on the Both
ultimo, at which some very important ao-
ton was had, only part of which, how
eyer.sis yet in shape 70 be made public.
The q School of English" was made q seps-
rate and distinct department. in the college
Il being understood that for the present
the dnties will be divided among members
of the Faculty, but that Q fRll professor
will be appointed just 80 soon as the means
Of endowiDg the chair can be oofslned.
The degree of Resident Mastership"
wss founded, and the Faculty authorized
to select each year three Of the Masters OF
Arts and confer on them the title Of Resi-
dent Masters" They are to continue to
pursue their studies in the college for two
wears free Of oil college fees, and to receive
besides 5000 each per session. They are
also entitled to teach on certain conditions,
for which they are to receive additional
compensation.
Colonel s. Med. Reid, who for more than
fifty years has been an efficient member OF
the Board, sent in his resignation on &C
count Of continued i'll health, which units
him for active duty. The Board unani-
mously elected TO the vacancy Cyrus Il. Nc
Cormick, ,Esq. All will agree that this is 8
most admirable selection. So far as it is o
compliment to o son of Rockbridge, it is
most worthily bestowed; and 80 far as it
brings to the Board practical wisdom and
energy, better selection could not have
been made.

and elected AS their representatives the
following gentlemen :" Ugly Man Frank

The first half dollar earned by Mr..
Peabody he.received of Mr.. Flint, of
Reading, for driving sheep. His first
dollar, which was the foundation of
his subsequent fortune, was earned at
military muster, at Danvers Plains,
where he could see but little of the
training, as he had engaged his SER
vices to MIR. John Upton for one dol
lar, to attend in tent near the field
and deal out refreshments, wash plates,
etc. To earn this foundation dollar,
he had to walk over three miles be-
fore daylight, and remain until dark
saving hungry and thirsty customers.
He has kept this dollar in active use
ever since.
1t is curious coincidence that
when Mr.. Peabody was relating the
above anecdote in the presence of a
well known millionaire in Salem,-
John Bertram, Esq.,-the latter ex-
claimed that he earned has first dollar
at that very time and place, keeping
tent and washing plates. This was in
the year 1908.
