thing to a man getting nicely hung to have
the gallows give way all of a sudden; and
a very provoking thing it is to have our
"galuses" give away. The only way to
prevent such an awkward experience is by
buying them at Oak Hall. Wanamaker &

at the lowest of low prices.

IoRETTo, JnlY u. 1869.


Mr.. Editor-Here | am in this quaint
but excellent old town, yclept Loretto. 1t
is bright and beautiful summer day, con-
trastiug strangely indeed with the wet,
sloppy days with which We have become so
familiar thus far the present season.
The crops on the surrounding farms are
looking their best. giving to the faithful
busbandman an assurance of plenty, and to
spare, as the result Of his careful culture
The waving grain is whitening for the har-
vest. and already the hay crop is being gath
cred and stored for future need.
As look from my window my vision is
arrested by beautiful rolling plot of ground
stretching away in the distance, from the
centre of which rises in graceful proportions
the far famed ST. Fra1cis' College buildings.
These buildings are an ornament and the
school credit to the place. The Convent
also meets the eye of the stranger, and its
beautiful surroundings make one almost feel
that he would like to lay aside the tolls and
cares Of busy life, enter its sacred pre-
ciucts, and devote amid its beautiful bowers
the remnant of this life in preparing for the
life to come.
But distinctive feature of Loretto at the
present time, and one with which the real
interests of the county are closely connect
ed, is the Normal School. This school
has been established for the purpose of
training teachers for their work by your
worthy County Superintendent, Prof. Chap
man, than whom none feel a deeper interest
or labor more faithfully to advance the
cause of education. We had the pleasure of
visiting his school to-day, and were agreea-
bly, surprised to find him surrounded by so
large and fOurishing a school. Here, day
after day. he is imparting instruction. not
only IN the branches that are taught in our
common schools, but also in the Theory and
Practice of Teaching, to a high-minded. no.
ble band of teachers, who are soon to go
forth and instruct immortal minds and
stamp upon them the impress OF their own
being, and become the benefactors of their
race And right nobly are they doing their
work. Right earnestly are they engaged.
And this noble. self-sacrifcing band of young
ladies and gentlemen are soon to go forth to
their respective fields Of labor-go forth as a
beacon CT light and guiding star. toward
which many grateful mind shall turn n s
they toll up the steep ascent of that hill
the sides of which are covered with inteleC-
tual verdure, and whose brow is decked in
never fading beauty with flowers of thought.
Under their care, after the present course of
instruction is finished, children will not feel
that school and studies are irksome and to
be avoided, but they will, rather, be led to
exclaim in the language of the Psalmist -
"Wisdom's ways are ways of pleasantnoss,
and all her paths are peace" VIX VO1.

The VIRGINIA ACADEMY OF ARTS AND
SCIENcEs.-It is with pleasure we announce
that progress of q most satisfactory charac-
ter is being made toward the formation Of
this association. Within few days we
have met with parties who were waiting only
for thorough organization to send in valu-
able contributions for the museum.
We hope the Academy, without delay,
will issue circular indicating its objects,
in popular manner and for general circu-
lation. We are satisfied that as soon as
this is done their efforts will result in an
appreciation of the Importance of the object
throughout the State.
We understand the intention Of the pro-
jectors to be at once to proceed to the for.
nation of museum of natural history,
mineralogy, the fine and mechanic arts, ,as
repository of reliable informationfo the
teacher, the student, the mechanic, and the
man Of business in every calling.
The future hope seems to be the estab-
lishment of schools Of practical learning
accessible to persons of limited means-the
accumulation and publication Of useful in
formation connected with or affecting the
interests Of our people. These are strong
arguments in favor of it.

d, THE FEAsT oFTHE PAssoTER.-Whiie the
Christian Church is emerging from the
days Of Ienten humiliation, and entering
upon che Joyous season Of Easter, our Jew
ish fellew-citizens are celebrating the
anciently-estabiished fcstiyaieof the Fuss
over. ,FEEE H Ell
4. Weeks before this festival tskeat place
the women of Israel are engaged in the
arduous employment Of setting their houses
in order, SO that when the feast is to be cele-
brated no leaYen should be found in their
dwellings. 1t is source Of great gratifcs-
tion that the unleavened cake, which Was
enjoined to be eaten in days of old, is'psr-
taken OF With the same feeling now. Israel
ties are conscious that safety is best found
in obedience, and although the motso may
only be a compound of flour and water, the
food is sweetened in the reflection that it is
eaten in compliance with the Divine COM
mand: '" In all your dwellings, shall you eat
unleayened cakes" az sa4 10 sr 93E 81 /
1t is, indeed, remarkable THAI command
which was promulgated upwards Of 5000
years since should still be rigidly observed. !.
Yet not more so than the fact that, after
being dispossessed Of their land for more
than eighteen centuries, the Jews should
still cling to the undying hope that the pro-
missed land will again be theirs not moro
30 than the circumstances that, after being
dispersed all over the earth, adopting the
language and tho manners Of the land in
which the reside, they have nowhere be-
come united or mixed with the nations
among whom they dwell, in @ religious point
of view-still preserving their language and
their religion, uniting with them, in all that
tends to the elevation Of man, but retaining
their distinctive character in their syna-
gogues and in their dietary laws.

CoST OF REPORTING THE DEBATES OF THE
CONVENTIONAL further account for the
reporting of the debates and proceedings
of the Reconstruction Convention has been
presented by the official reporter, William
II. Samuel, Esq. The account, amounting
to $3,050, was regularly audited and ap-
proved by the chairman of the Committee
on Printing, by the Secretary and President
Of the Convention, and by the command
ing General of the district.
From the objection of William F. Taylor,
Esq, to assuming the responsibility of
passing upon the account, Mr.. Samuel
placed it in the hands of L. II. Chandler,
Esq, for collection several months since,
and this gentleman, in partnership with a..
G.. Bond, was successful in securing the
payment of the account, the warrants, Of
the Auditor and Treasurer Of the State
being given for its payment on the 9th Of
this month, and received by the stenogra-
pher on the 18th instant. We learn that
this does not complete the expenses of the
Convention reporting, but that the rendi-
tion of final account will exhibit on the
part of the State further indebtedness of
50, 500 to $4,000.

,CoLoRED 0RPHANAGE.-Sbortly after the
close of the war Mr.. John B. Crenshaw, o
weH-known member and minister of the
Society of Friends, in Henrico, conceived
the idea of establishing On asylum in this
city for the protection and support Of CO.
lored orphans. He Immediately proceeded
to carry out the idea, and through his in
fluence and exertion sufficient amount of
funds was raised in this country aud in
England to purchase the grounds and erect
suitable buildings thereon. The latter
were completed about twelve months ago,
and the institution is now in regular work
ing order. 1t is conducted on the same
general principles which govern those Of
kindred character elsewhere, and is under
the charge of a committee Of the Society Of
Friends consisting of Messrs. John B. Crcn-
shaw, Joseph J. Peasants, Jeremiah Will
let's, and Richard A. Rix. Hitherto it
has had to depend upon private subscrip-
ton for its support, but the committee, de-
string to place its existence and usefulness
upon more permanent basis, have deter
mined to petition Congress for an endow-
ment sufficient to accomplish this object,
and Mr.. Crenshaw is now in Washington
urging it's claims before that body.

there will not be found in it anything OBJ

CINDERELLA.-This piece takes better at
the Theatre than did the White Fawn.
There is decidedly more in the piece, and
the members Of the company show them
selves to more advantage. There is cne
great objection, however, and that is in the
hideous makeup Of the Misses Clorinda and
Thisbe and their rubicund father. In order
to perfect burlesque it is by no means
necessary to set ones face a-fre nor make
o coat-plaster patch of it. But withal,
Cinderella is apt to please the generality Of
people.
This afternoon we are promised matt
nee, when our little ones can have on op-
portunity of witnessing with the eye what
they have SO often read about. ---
