From the Richmond Enquirer, June 2e.l
General Walter c. Newberry has been removed
from the once Of Mayor OF Petersburgthe duties Of
which he discharged with such ability, fidelity
ana courtesy-and Dr.. William G. Pearse,
late Of Dnwiddle county, has been appointed his
successor: a committee OF three gentlemen
Messrs. ANDREW Kevsn, Charles s. strinsfellow and
O. Baker Raips--on behalf OF the peoS.s =" D-'afs'

yfsited General Candy yesterday morning for the
purpose OF acquaintinr him with the condition OF
aralrs here and OF persuadng hun. II possible from
the course 10 had been rumored he was about to
take. Before the arrival OF the committee ct head
quarters however, the orders Of removal and ap-
pointment han been issued aud forwarded. The fat
had gone forth that General Newberry, whose only
fault was sympathy with the downtrodden and
oppressed white people or the State, must vacate
his position OF influence. No argument could In.
duce General Candy TO revoke his order or reverse
his decision, though we understand he gave polite
and attentive to what the committee had 20 say.
The reason assigned for General Newberrys removal
was the action he took In political afnrs. The true
reason may In q few words be stated--ie was de-
posed because he IL not q Wells man; because,
foreseelng the crushing erect upon our state aud

him and use his influence for Walker.

Mechanical Ingenuity of Farmers.

One Of the component parts of q
good farmer is mechanical ingenuity.
Some lose half days time for want
of knowing how to repair brealsago
which an ingenious person could do
IN five minutes. A team and two or
thrce men are sometimes stopped O
whole day ut n critical season for want
OF u little mechanical skill. 1t is well
for every farmer to have at hand the
facilities for repairing. III addition to
tho more common tools, he should
keep supply of nails of different
sizes, screws, bolts, and nuts. Com
mon cut nails are too brittle for re-
pairing implements or for other
similar purposes. Buy only the very
best, and anneal them, and they will
answer all tho ordinary purposes of
the best wrought nails. To anncal
them, all that is necessary is to heat
them .rcd-hot in a common fire and
cool gradually. Let them cool, for
instance, by remaining in the fire
while it burns down and goes out.
Ono such nail we'll clinchcd, will be
worth half dozen unanncalcd.
Nothing is moro common than for a
farmer to visit the blacksmith's shc,
to get u broken or lost bolt or rivct in
serted, and often single nut on a
bolt. This must be paid for, and
much time is lost. BY providing O.
supply OF bolts, nuts and rivcts, much
time and trouble may be saved. They
may be purchased Wholesale at a low
rate. These should all be kept in
shallow boxes, with compartments
made for the purpose, furnished with
a bow-handle for convenience in
carrying them. One box with half n
dozen divisions may be appropriated
to nails of different sizes, and another,
with as many compartments, to
scrqgs, bolts, rivets, etc. Every
farmer should keep on hand a. a.supply
of copper wire and small pieces of
sheet copper or copper straps. Cop
per wire is better than anncalcd iron
wire. 1t is almost as flexible as twinc,
and may be bent and twisted as d.
sired; and it will not rust. Copper
straps nailed across or around a frac-
ture or split in wooden article will
strengthen it in q thorough manncr-

A Legend of Massachusetts Supersti
tiOn.

In the history of Gloucester, just
written by Mr.. Babson, he tells a
legend Of Peg Wcsson, roputed
witch. In tho year 1745 u company
of soldiers were enlisted in Glouces-
ter, as a part Of tho forco destined to
operate against the French fortress of
Louisburg, Cape Breton. Some of
these men, before their departure, by
some means provoked old Pcggy's
wrath that she threatened vengeance
upon them. While in camp there q
crow was observed lowering over
head in rather singular manner
Several shots were fired at the bird
without effect, when ono of them
thought it might be Peggy, and if so
he know that common lead would have
no effect upon her. So he took pair
of silver sleeve buttons from his wrist,
dropped them into his gun, and let
her have it. Tho charmed missile
went direct to the mark, without re-
gard to correctness Of aim or dis
tancc. The bird fell, wounded in the
leg, and was soon dispatched. They
attcrward learned that at tho exact
moment when the old crow fell, old
Peg fell in or near her house on Back
street, with broken leg. And more
wonderful still, on an examination of
the fractured limb, tho identical
sleeve buttons that were fired at the
crow under the walls of Louisbure
were found imbeddcd in the flesh
Another version of this story was to
the effect that q siege train of heavy
artillery was placed in position and in
readiness to open fire, when the crow
was observed flying back and forth,
pausing over one gun and then
another, and not q gun could be "got
off" The match was extinguishcd; or
the powder would fash in the pan,
until tho bird was brought down.
Strange as it may seem, this weird
tale was very generally received as
truth, and it was believed by many
down to n much later date.

A Fearful Ride.

On Thursday of last week the loco
motive Leonard w. jerome was
"booked" to follow the midday train
out Of New York to Poughkeepsic,
stopping nowhere except for wood and
water. Just as she was starting, and
unknown to the engineer, two lads,
respectively eight and ten years old,
mounted the cow-catcher, intending
to have short ride along Eleventh
avenue, supposing the engine was
going to "pump up" They were
seated on low elevation-the cross
beam Of the cow-catcher-and were
hid from the engineer by the smoke
stack. Faster and faster whirled, the
iron horse over the rails, by cross
streets, over rattling. switches, and
then with almost lightning speed the
city was left behind as the locomotive
reached the river bed Of the road.
The roaring steam, tho sharp, rapid
crack Of the ponderous wheels as they
cleared TIC joints of the rails, the
swaying to and fro of the tons of iron,
the shrieking of the steam whistle as
the snorting engine dashed past sta
tion after station, cont thrills OF
terror into tho hearts Of the young
sters, as they hung with dcath-lilzc
grips upon projecting bars or bolts,
yelling and crying with fright in vain
for the deafening roar of machinery
and the clash of iron drowned their
cries for help almost before they left
their lips. And SO they rodo till the
locomotive came to a stand-still for
water at Pcekslxill, forty miles, when
one, completely overcome with fright
and exhaustion tumbled sefsscless to
the ground, while tho other, too veal.
to walk, was conveyed into the sta.
ton, and, after good care, the two
were sent back to New York.-Pough.

THE PREsBYTERIANs OF THE NORTH.

THE PREsBYTERIANs OF THE NORTH.
Some days ago we had brief an.
nouncement by telegraph of tho stops
which had been taken by the Pfesbv.
terian General Assemblies in Now
York; to reconcile tho differences which
have so long separated the Old and
New Schools Of that denomination.
The New York papers bring us the
particulars of the basis of reunion
which has been agreed upon by the
two bodies. The doctrinal differences
which led to the separation of the Old
and New School denominations in
1888, consisted mainly in a more or
less rigid construction Of the standards
of the church, especially with refer
cnce to the doctrines Of election,
original sin, &C., the Old School ac-
cepting moro infiexibly the creed of
CALVIN, whilst the Confession of Faith
was interpreted by the New School
in n less literary Calvinistic: sense.
The basis Of reunion now adopted
requires that "the Confession of Faith
shall continue to be sincerely received
and adopted as containing the system
OF doctrine taught in the Holy Scrip
ture." AS each school had professed
to do this in it's separate organization,
there would seem to be no difference
on that point warranting q permanent
separation. The plan Of reunion alb
stains from deciding the original
questions at issue, and each party is
left to put its own construction upon
the standards, only that henceforth
the differences upon these points are
not to interfere with the unity and
harmony of the church.. This plan
has yet to undergo the discussion of
the various Presbyteries of the two
Assemblies, who are to express their
approval or disapproval before tho
10th OF October next, and if approved
OF by three-fourths Of each, the two
Assemblies, meeting in Pittsburg in
November next, shall 30 declare, and
take action for formal reunion. Tho
unanimity and heartiness 'cvinced in
the action Of tho Assemblies would
seem to warrant the belief that tho
Prcsby terics will act in the samo
spirit, and that the reunion of; the two
churches will be fully completed in
November next. ). q. l...,
This, however, is not, rs some have
supposed, q reunion of the Northern
and Southern Presbyterian churches !;
though that subject camo up for dis
cussion in the Old School Assembly
on report of the committee on bills
and overtures, and was referred to q
special committee. The Moderator,
however, stated that any action at the
present time might BE damaging to
the peace Of the Southern church, and
would be inopportune.-EzeAange.

The dead Of the War.

The Rev. Mr.. rockingham deliver
ed a discourse in New York on the
day of the decoration of tue graves
of the Union dead, which concluded
as follows:
l mean all who died in tho war
wore equally victims. The Southern
er and the Northerner-those who
fell with us and those who fell against
us-all were victims laid on the same
altar. I would wish that We did all
this as one nation. Let us strew
these flowers not on Northern graves
alone, but on Southern graves also.
They were equally brave they were
oil equally faithful to their ideal !;
their vaior was common, their feeling
was common, and the same devotion
to their cause was common to each :;
and each side was devoted to it's ideal
-one. tide no less entirely than the
other. Northerner and Southcrner
each cherished his purposes, each had
hope, each was full Of confidence of
the ability of his God; each opened
his Biblei each made his prayers to
the same Deity who directed the bat
tie; they were common victims, laid
on common altar, in o common
cause. Oh, we ought by this time to
be "ble to do justice to the purposes
rs we'll as to the spirit of our foes.
They bore moro than we did; they
sacrificed more than we did. Their
homes were burned over their heads
by fiery shells; ours were left un-
touched. They are obliged to bow
their heads rs conquered? we are
privileged to raise ours as conquerors
l would drop tear on one of their
graves as quickly as on one of our
own; and am willing to affirm that
the guilt was not theirs alone. We
were all sinners together. y
These men filled their place, not
shrinking, not swerving. They only
knew that they were under orders,
and in their place. Whoever they
were, let us remember that they did
their duty; they were soldiers, It
