A SINGULAR CAsE.--It is mentioned as a
singular case OF the energy of an old lady, that
in England a spinster, aged seventy years, who
had become bankrupt, and who was possessed
of life interest in property, which, on her
marriage, would 80 to her grandchildren, in
order to prevent the life estate falling into the
hands of the creditors, the old lady married q
pauper of about her own age, so as to effect a
forfeiture. and thus by operation OF law to
transfer the property to her grandchildren
The creditors maintained that the marriage
was coIlusivc and fraudulent, but the Court OF
Queens Bench decided that the property
asscd to The grandc hiIdrell.

CALLING FOR HENRT.-At political meeting the
speaker and audience were very much disturbed BY a
man who constantly called out for Mr.. Henry. When.
ever new speaker on this man bawled out
Mr. Henry Henry Henry! l call for Mr.. Henry!"
After several Interruptions of this kind at each speech
young man assembled to the platform and was soon
airing his eoquence in magniloquent style, striking
out powerfully in his gestures; when the old cry was
heard foF Mr. Henry Putting bis hand to bis mouth
like speaking trumpet, this man was bawng ont At
the top OF his voice. "Mr. Henry Henry. Henry
Henry call for Mr.. Henry" The chairman now
arose and remarked that it would oblge the audience

IT seems not unlikely that the war

GENTLEMEN:-I write TO say that /
have learned since we adjourned yes

nee another gentleman Of the Conserv-
ativc party will at once enter the field.
He is u man of ability and considera-
lie strength. We are in very great
danger and there il hut one way out of it,
that in to nominate Mr.. Johnson, l
care not what Mr.. Johnson may have
said to Mr.. White, or Mr.. White to
Mr.. johnson. no agreement that they
make can bind the people of this Dis
trict. Men ought not to expect that
Mr.. Johnston would agree to accept
the nomination. Nominate him as an
endorsement of his public life and es-
pecially his administration. The eff
fort of minority led by beardless
boy TO force upon the people of this
District man who is not the choice
of the Convention or of his party is an
outrage that should not be tolerated.
If Mr.. johnson bears the flag victory
will perch upon our banner, but if Mr..
White bears it the staff itself will
pierce his breast and n Pension-JumI er

and the people will stand by you

GENERAL MALONE designs putting
two corps of engineers on the line OF
the Va. g. Ky. r. r. about the mid
die of October. There arc doubtless
sufficient reasons both immediate and
prospective for reopening the survey.
A better location is wanted in many
parts of the line and it is the purpose
of that able official to make the best
road possible on the best location to
be had between Bristol and the Gap.
The iron rail will be discarded and
only the hes: steel one used. 1t is
expected that the New Company for
the Consolidated line will be organic
ed at an carly day and work will
doubtless be commenced on a large
scale early in the spring of 1871.

II mattc& but little what Mr..
johnson may have said about acccp-
ting, the nomination, we believe, after
careful consideration of all the infor-
nation before us, that it is the duty
of tho people TO tender him that
nomination and ask its acceptance at
his hands. The people who have
honcrcd him with their suffrage and
confidence for years and who have
contributed SO much to his elevation
to the Hottest position within the gift
of Americans have right to rise
above any pledge he may have made
TO DIR. White, and, while they ask
him to accept, they should demand
that Mr.. White withdraw. 1t is clear
that MIR. White is not tho choice Of
the people and il is now patent still
that he can not lilakd the race sue
cessfully. Then let Mr.. White retire
from contest in which lie must be
defeated and the people 1nslavcd.
