Uncle So!omon's 'Wedse-PrincipIe.

in their well-worn case. And il they

just going out.
Aunt Martha looked up from her knit
ing-she was trying to count the stitches
for the heel-and in rcgretiul dcprecat-
ing way explained that Mr.. Blunt had
lately been giving Colonel Maynard "a
piece of his mind" Aunt Martha never
enioyed talkingof such unpleasantnesses,
and when she was forced To speak ofthem
mt all, she always seemed so sorry for
their having happened that one might al
most suppose that the blame belonged to
her.
Mr.. Blunt was much addicted to giving
folks "a piece ofhis mind" He was real
lyprodigal in donations of this nature. He
lavishcd them on all classes Of people,
upon every possible occasion, and with
all sorts Of results except good ones. He
had given away so many pieces of his
mind in the course of his life that it was
a marvel he had any more lefl TO give.
Very peculiar peices they were. too; ut

Sometimes he received something similar
in return; but he was never known to
get any thanks.
This time, the fuss was about boy
whom Colonel Maynard had hired to do
his chores.
You ought to let Joe come to the Ia
ble," began Mr.. Blunt, plunging into the
subject with headlong dive.
To this the Colonel-a new conner
among us--curtly replied that when he
needed advice about his domestic con-
Germs, he would ask for it. And the two
men though next door neighbors, had
not spoken to each other since.

she finished the story. "fve no doubt

will deny. 1t would be surprising, indeed,
if any measure directed by the human mind,

and, when witnessed, they should merely

ANNUAL SESSION OF THE SYNOD OF lIR-
GIs1A.-The SYNOD of Virginia, which
meets tonight in the Second Presbyterian
church, is one of the oldest Synods on this
continent. When, shortly after the inde-
pendence of the United States, the Presby-
terian Church was re0rganiZed, in 1ISS (the
wear of the adoption of The Federal Const-
tution), the Synod of Virginia and the Caro-
lnas was one of the four Synods into which
the Church was divided. The increase OIL
population and the progress of religion COM
pelled the departure OF the two Synods OF
North and Of South Carolina from the house
of their common mother.
AS it has not been subject to political lc-
gslation, this Synod at present embraces all
the Presbyterian churches in East and West
Virginia and many of those in Maryland. 1t
stretches from the ocean to the Ohio and
from North Carolina to Pennsylvania. 1t
numbers presbyteries, 1SI ministers, II IL
centiatcs, and 81 candidates for the minis
try. On its roll are the names OF 2oO
churches and Of II ,4S6 communicates. Its
contributions for the year ending last April
were To home missions, over twelve thou
sand dollars to foreign missions, nearly SIX
thousand dollars; for the education of can
didates for the ministry, nearly eight thou
sand dollars to the cause OF publication,
nearly LnreG CnODSallu uolldIS iol uCSpt
terial purposes, two thousand two hundTed
and twenty-five dollars; for congregational
purposes, support of ministry, ETC., about
one hundreda and fifty thousand dollars; and
for miscellaneous objects over eight thou
sand dollars, besides the contributions OF
Presbytelians to the various public chari-
ties. Over twelve thousand children assem-
BILE every week in its different Sunday
schools.
The opening sermon before this venerable
body will be preached by the last Modera-
tor, the Rev. DR.. J. FL. Bocock, of Fincastle.
The meetings of the Synod are open to the
public. Besides the regular business, the
important question Of the division Of the
Synod will probably be discussed. Sermons
will be delivered every day during the sit
ting of the Synod by its different members,
of which public notice will be given.
Those members Of Synod who have been
assigned lodgings are requested to go to the
places to which they have been assigned
Immediately upon their arrival In Rich
mond.
A committee will be at each train of cars
to take charge of any to whom lodgings
have not been assigned; but if any such
member Of Synod should fail to meet the
committee, he viii be expected to report 1T
once at the rooms of the Presbyterian Board
of Publication, No. 10I1 Main street, oppo-
site the post-Ottlce.

lowing preamble and resolution which
were adopted: -
"Whercas certain parties have been ar.
rested for tratlicking in counterfeit tobacco
stamps, and it having been published III
Dapers outside Of our city that they were

ENTERPRISE OF OUR MASUFACFURERs.-
Messrs. J. w. Cardwell & Co., who were
burned out BY the late destructive fire, have
now purchased the eytentive shops Of the
Union Manufacturing Company, on Cary
between Fifteenth and Seventeenth streets.
1t is the intention of this enterprising firm
to open as soon as possible an establishment
on scale as large as any in the southern
States for the manufacture Of agricultural
implements and all kinds of machinery.
They have hitherto enjoyed an enviable
reputation throughout the State; and the
fire has only given them another opportu-
nitv for the display of the energy and enter
prise for which they arenoted.
Mr.. L. Boyle, another victim of the same
fire, has already rebuilt his factory on the
old site, and is again turning out some of
the best saws, files, &C., ever made i'll this
country. He is irrepressible.
