notorious Bill Murray, but it seems there are
few more of the same sort still on hand.
ACCIDENT We learn that, on Friday the 9th
inst, Mr.. De Lancy Bruin, of Waynesboro, met
ssith quite serious accident, near Alton Depot,
while chopping down tree to procure tan bark.
We have not heard the particulars, but it seems
that the tree in falling caught him under it,
Breaking his leg and injuring him internally. l.
was reported that he was splitting blood, but on
Saturday evening he was doing as we'll as could
be expected under the circumsta1 ces. Mr.. Brun
and his brother have for some time been carrying
or the Gallaher Tannery at Waynesboro, and but
recently rented the Goodloe Tannery, near Alton
Depot, where they had just commenced opera
lions. This fortuitous circumstance, happening
Ms it has, elicits the sympathy of all.
The Report Of the Board Of visitors of the D.
ID. and Blind Institution, at this place, for the
fiscal years lS67-6s and l86s-69 has, been laid on
cur table. 1t contains succinct and interesting
History of the Institution from its establishment
and number of valuable suggestions, to render
more efficient the States great charity 10 the
deaf and dumb, and blind, which itwould be
we'll for those in Authority to carry into practi-
cal effect. a--
The number of pupils in the Institution at the
date of the report was l3l-deaf mutes 90 and

This is one of the best conducted Institutions
OF the kind in the country. Every department is
hied by accomplished and efficient instructors,
which is evidenced by all who visit the Institu
ton snd7 witness the exercises. The discipline,
though necessarily firm, is at the sa me time pa
rental and Kind and consequent cheerfulness ex-
lists among the pupils, not often witnessed anon g
q less unfortunate class of scholars The contact
of Principal and Pupi! is very akin to that of
father and child and while all implicitly sbey
mis- commands, it is done from love, certainly
not from fear.
Maj. Coveli, is admirably calculated to manage
an Institution of this kind and is unceasing in the
discharge of his duties as Principal He has for
years devoted his entire time and attention to in
cfea4e the efficiency and usefulness of this Insti-
ton in fact, he seems wholly absorbed in it.,
and, watt, the success which has attended his eff
forts thus far, WILL we trust witness the fullest
.consummatoa of mis- earnest wishes and unre-
uniting endeayors. fse
Mr.. A. a. Breckenridge the energetic Steward
Is emphatically the Fright man in the right
place.'' He is as untirng as he is efficient, and
comes in for and receives small degree of praise
in tile successful conduct Of this well managed In
astitution.
