BANkRUPTC

Congress having just amended the Bankrupt
law so that nearly all parties can be discharged
from their debts unobstructed by the fifty per
cent. clause so-called, another opportunity offers
to secure the benefits of this most effective and
permanent measure Of relief: The above-named
will make bankrupt business specially; will
procure discharges on the most moderate terms
and transact al business in that line at prices
which cannot fail to be satisfactory. Being Uni
ted States Commissioner he will endeavor to visit
the different counties on court days, and thu;
save parties the trouble and expense of several
trips to Alexandria in beginning and proceeding
with their cases Discharges can be obtained
here before Register Hill as promptly as in Rich
mond or elsewhere, and at much less expense TO
parties. 1t may be added that the Bankrupt act,
in connection with the Homestead exemption
which it is now believed will be secured to the
bankrupt under the bankrupt law, is the ~ real
relief now offered to parties struggling in the
hopeless bondage Of old debts. Address person

Costly FUNERALS. When one dies, and
the little household is stricken with grief, there
comes the hour that makes privacy necessity.
We instinctively shrink from the gaze OF the
world That moment is seized upon to intro
duce under the name of friends OF the deceas-
ed. all the neighborhood. The remains OF one
so dear to the grief. stricken family receive an
ovation from heartless curiosity and hypocrltl-
cal ceremony, and while one hack will gener-
ally carry out all the grief that really follows
the body to the grave. long string OF car,
riages, hired at an enormous expense. are filled
with people who cared little for the departed
when alive and less now that he or she Is dead
They 90 to the grave talking politics or busl-
ness in subdued tone, and return hilarious
from the reaction that follows Selt-restraint -
The cost attending these funerals IS OF itself
sufficient reason for their being abolished
Many poor family is actually LETT without
bread in this absurd attempt to make brief
show of respect to the dead

ral gentlemen who came in from the depot. on
Saturday morning, that they witnessed SIN
gular phenomenon. Many miles Of the Blue
Ridge were clearly outlined against the Eas
tern sky, apparently above the Massanutten
mountain. Not only were the general features
of the mountain recognized, but the snow up
ON its sides was distinctly represented. The
sun was not yet above the Massanutten: which
entirely hides the Blue Rige and is about TWEEN
ty miles distant from it. The mirage Is, OF
course, readily accounted for upon phllosophl-
cal principles light passing through denser
