EXECUTION IN NIRGINIA.-Peter Riddick, q
mulatto, was hung yesterday In Portsmou tn
for the murder last January Of Cornelius
Hayes, marketman, on his way to his home
in the country. The execution took place
quietly within the Jail yard, and was attended
with but little excitement outside Riddick
said but little: he briefly thanked the sheriff
and bis subordinates for the kindness shown
him, but made no allusion to his own guilt or
innocence. He met his fate very coolly and
assembled the scaffold apparently without the
least fear of trepidation. During the prepare
ton for the execution a frame building in pro-
cess OF construction in the vicinity fell, very
seriously in turing sewn workmen,

"A LITTLE LRARHING Have boys righ
TO THINK, Professor Holmes thinks not. W.
have before US detailed report Of the proceed
ings of the Fourth Annual Convention OF the
Educational Association of Virginia, from
which II appears that the reading Of q paper BY
Professor Il. L. Gildersieeve on .Classical
Study" in which he discussed in o very able
manner the importance of the study of the
aacient languages as an intellectual discipline
the aesthetic necessity Of classical study; our
historical relation to antique life; aud the
intrinsic value Of antique literature: was fol.
lowed by lively debate, during which Pro-
fessor George L. Holmes, Of the University OF
Virginia, ian Engiishman ana graduate OF
Oxford,) said that "a little learning is adanger-
Gus thing" and urged that this accounts fer
the lack Of appreciation on the part Of those
who study the classics. He urged that you
should first teach the forms-tas bare skeIe ton
OF the languages. The child must be taught
doclity, he must simply learn. He has no
right to think. and should be whipped if he is
caught thinking. This candid expression
OF opinion upset the gravity of the learned
professors, and there was q general laugh all
round at the expense OF the boys, who it Is
barely possible may not be able TO see the Joke !
As - what is said about "practicil" studies he
argued that that Is most practical which is the
most eficient The most practical man is the
one who Is most thoroughly educated. Colouel
William Preston Johnston, of Washington Col
lege, desired to defend "a little learning" Of
which he facetiously professed himself a rep
resentaiIve. Mere Iaughter.l Even a little
helps us, In its training and disciplinary effects
As for m ethod, be believed in standing by the
old landmarks until we We're sure we could do
better. He avowed himself the champion Of
stupid boys. and very humorously illustrated
that even they could make some advancement.
But the teacher could not give the boy brains.
He took pleasure in dull boys they were to
him pleasant study. [Laughter.l And when
be found really stupid boy-oIe usually
known as a '.bloc khead he was to him Col

He became wonderfully interested in him; and
II he learned anything, he attributed 1t to the
fellow feeling" existing between them.
