THE LADIES FAIR.-We were in attendance
last night, with our pencil in hand, to get an
item from the ladies now holding fair in the
courtroom on Hull street, and we were sue.
cessful. The first and second tables on the
right are filled with all the good things and
fancy articles as Is common for ladies to sup
| ply. Miss Margaret Allen is the hostess. In
the centre of the room is the ice cream saloon,
over hung by the life-size portrait of Judge
james Ii. Cox, of Chesterfield county, in which
one can sit and participate in the cody
| creams of delicious favors. On the left
the first and second tables are under the super.
| vision of the estimable lady, Mrs. Beard, who
has kind word for all. Altogether, It is a
beautiful display Of genius in the festooning
OF the room and decorations of the tables. Ali
should attend and lend a helping hand to the
good work. The proceeds are TO be devoted
to the completion of the new PRESBYTERIAN
church.
NEW CoURT HoUsE.-Operations have com.
menced on the new Court-house and, we think.
VIII be continued until finished. Chesterfield
need be proud OF such fine Court house.
We, as town, of course, will not have much
use for It, as we intend to be q part and parcel
OF the great "City of Hills" in few months
and then our manufacturers can, with impuni.
ty and without shame, send their goods to Richs
mond. Annexation is all the talk now. As
the corner stone of the James River Bridos has
fears but that we will accomplish the underta.

never retrogade, but push forward, with the
motto Labor vincit omnia.
WE were panied to learn, late yesterday
evening, of the death of one of our most
respected citizens, Mrs. George Mum, in the
SSth year of her age.
SAD ACCIDENT esterday, at about one
O'Clock, as the Danville train was passing on
the bridge, an unknown colored man was
standing on the platform of one of the coaches.

contact with a telegraph post at Belcber's
Island, knocking him from the steps to the
ground below, distance of twenty feet, break
ing. his leg and otherwise bruisng his BODY.
AT last accounts he was suffering great pain.
We are informed that all the township elec.
tions is null and void, in consequence of Judge
Cox failing to appointe five commissioners Of
election to canvass the votes. Why Is this
thus so in Chesterfield county? And the town

~ MosEs.-And there came to pass time
when one of the grand scribes Of the great
party, whose opposition to progress had rem
dered it by-word and a shame to all nations
demanded of one Of the scribes of the great
body OF good men, If be could answer the ques-
tion Chow ia this for high 2" When he spoke
of the great man "Moses," who had lead unto
the promised land; where men do make mighty
feasts and whose greatest sacrifice, was not OF
burnt offerings, but consisted of taking unto
themselves great quantities of silver and gold,
which was the property of others, thereby
sacrificing not their own but other mems
goods; twenty and six good and obedient fol-
lowers out of thirty, which was necessary to
make perfect the number.
The Scribe wisely answers that Moses moved
from among the people with whom he had
owelt In unity and peace, because it had been
prophesied, that to remain with them, he
should never enter the promised land but only
permitted to view Its beautiful valleys and
peaceful hills. Not desiring to see the prophecy
fulfilled, he struck his tent, which was in JEFF
ferson, and pitched it in the land of greater
promise, named Madison Ward, thereby ex-
pecting to fulfil the prophecy, which had de-
clared that he should become one of the elect.
Having, with great caravan OF camels and
asses, started on his journey, they were over.

rock, which Immediately gave forth stream
of soup-called beef This soup was thin and
the mighty host could drink it only BY using
stra'os, through which 1t was sucked,
For this sin, Moses was cursed, and the pro-
phecy fulfilled that he should only zee the pro-
missed land. This promise was kept, and
although some Of the children of Israel passed
over, Moses 10 still nightly grieved because be
was left behind. Moses can better answer the
great scribe's question : How is this for hele-
vation.

CONTESTED ELEcTIoN.-We imagined
these Jarces had played out, but in Tuckahoe
township, Henrico county, where the result

OF some Democrats, the election is to be con-
tested, and We find an array of legal talent
employed equal in number almost to the con-
testants. This is waste of time and money,
unless the counsel employed, from patriotis.n
alone, have agreed to do the work, as we have
never heard of but two election contests being
decided in favor of Republicans since the war
In Virginia. We advise Republicans interested
TO surrender at discretion.
