A FrWhtful Fau. for a Little [Child.-A
little son of Mr.. j. A. Cearsley, fell from
window of his fathers residence on Hull
street, distance of twelve feet. Strange
to say, the little fellow was not hurt, but
badly scared.
Personal. We were glad to see our ven
cradle friend, Col. w. W. Hancock, from
Chesterfield, who has been suffering for
some time with affection of the eyes. He
is in attendance on the association and is
looking well.
Associaion.- Middle District Asso-
citation met this morning in the Manchester
Baptist church. The choir sang the intro
ductory. After which two other hymns
were sung -"Beautiful are their feet on the
mountains y and ''Ye servants ofthe Lord" :"
The Introductory sermon was preached by
Rev. VIM. S. Bland, of Chesterfield, from
the text, "He gave to every man his work" :"
The reverend gentleman was eloquent,
forcible, and impressive in his discourse.
If all would attend to the work given them,
and do it right, Gods kingdom would be
strengthened, was his final remark.
The opening prayer was made by Rev.
I. w. Moore, and the closing one by Rev.
Mr.. Sidnor.
The Association met at o'clock, with
J. b. Good, moderator, in the chair, and
Rev. j. F. Deans, clerk. On going to
press, letters from the various churches
were being read.

the sad affair was the subjectIof allusion in
all the sermons from the Protestant pulpits.
'The attachment of the people of this
city to this distinguished and good man was
almost universal, and no pastor who has
ever been amongst us was more beloved,
and deservedly SO, than DIR. 7. V. Moore.
''The deceased minister took deep in
terest in the prosperity and growth of the
city, and in his social relations was in deep
sympathy and constant intercourse with
the people. He was an ardent and devoted
member of the Masonic fraternity, and was
loved and respected by the entire fraternity.
As an active member of Richmond Lodge,
in which he was made, and charter menu
Der of Joppa, No. 10, which he aided in
instituting, and as chaplain of both, he
was ever found at the post of duty, labor
ing in the cause of brotherly love, relief,
and truth, and exemplifying the glorious
teachings of the noble Order. May he rest
in peace"
Since the above appeared, we learn the
body of the deceased will not be brought
to Richmond for interment, but will be
buried where he died.

HAVE You ENEMIES ?-Go straight on
and don't mind them. If they get in your
way, walk round them regardless of their
spite. A man who has no enemies is sell
dom good for anything; he is made of
that kind of material which is so easily
worked that every one has hand in it. A
sterling character is one who thinks for
himself, and speaks what he thinks; he
is always sure to have enemies. They are
as necessary to him as fresh air; they keep
him alive and active. A celebrated charac-
ter who was surrounded by enemies used
to remark :-"They are sparks which, if
you do not blow, will 60 out ofthemselves." /"
s.Live down prejudice" was the Iron
Dukes motto. Let this be your feeling
while endeavoring to live down the scandal
of those who are bitter against you. If
you stop to dispute, you do but as they
desire, and open the way for more abuse.
Let the poor fellows talk-there will be
reaction if you perform but your duty, and
hundreds who were once alienated from
you will flock to you and acknowledge their
error.

THE ARMY OF LETTER WRITERS IN
CREAsING. The report of the Auditor OF
the Post-Ofice Department to the Postmas-
ter General of the receipts and expenditures
of the Department for the quarter ending
March 81, 1871, just rendered, shows an
increase in the item of postage stamps sold
over the corresponding quarter of 1870, of
100000. The report also shows large in
crease of receipts over those of the quarter
named, with small increase of expendi-
lures. The deficiency of the Department
for the fiscal year ending June 30 last will
be less than $4,000, 900, which does not in
clude a credit for free mail matter which
amounts to several hundred thousand dol
lars.

Police Cou7f.-On entering this temple of
Justice this morning, we were surprised to
lind that, though some twenty minutes be-
hind time, we were still in time to see the
grand entree of the "Jestis," who came in
soon after, in that meek, unassuming way
that would compare well with the lamb go
ing to the slaughter. On the Justice taking
his seat, the Sergeant called the case of Mar
tina Jane Bell, colored, who very much re-
minded us of 'the last rose Of summer
The charge against this party was that she
did strike one Edmonia Newton, another
colored fallen flower, over the head with
claret bottle, which brought the claret from
Edmonia's nose-all against the peace and
dignity of the Commonwealth. After hear
ing all the evidence, which clearly proved
that both were drunk, the Justice decided
to send them to Jail in default of security.
Robert Woodbridge haifgrown colored
boy, was the next subject called. He was
charged by detective Pat. Woods with in
terfering with passengers at the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad depot. For SO doing the
Justice fined Robert 50, which he paid and
then vanished. Following Robert came
cross-warrant case between Rachel jackson,
a colored female who keeps fruit store on
Broad street, and who can't talk any--oh,
no, and I. G.. Black, white man, who
lives near by. The trouble between these
parties was on account of little child of
Blacks, who charged Rachel with whipping
her, which resulted in general misunder-
standing between all hands and any amount
of mild "cussing." After hearing all the
evidence, which was of course varied, the
Justice concluded that it was great ado
about nothing, and accordingly discharged
both parties.
William H. Haffey followed next on the
docket. He came up looking most peni-
tent, charged with being drunk and disor-
derly in the street. He tried to beg off,
but his Honor failed to see it, and fined him
50, much to the sergeant's chagrin. Haffey
informed the Justice that he didn't have
cent, when he was ordered to take back
seat.
Ed. Street, and most dilapidated look
ing street he was, too, came up to show
cause why he should be allowed to steal
lot of carpenters tools from J. N. Elmore.
This he failed to do, when he was sentenced
to thirty days in the chain-gang. An ap-
peal was taken to the Hastings court, and
he was then sent down in default of secu-
rity. This closed the docket, much to the
relief of thecourt, who looked slightly hot.
Now that the Council have been obliged
to go back to their usual quarters to sweat
and toll through several hours of labor, we
trust they will have some consideration for
the comfort and convenience of the police
court officers, and make some effort to eff
feet change.

The BLONDES CLAssIFIED.-The Lon
don Court Journal says that dark hair so
long neglected and despised is again in the
ascendant. The blonde is gradually resum-
ing her place side by side, not above, the
brunette. The blonde is now declared to
have maintained her rule so long by varie-
y of artifce, that she can, now that her
cunning devices are known, be classed as
lDollows: The Gothic Irish, (reddish,) the
Saxon English, dark Yellow the little III
dlculous blonde, short, curly golden) the
,Sephalic blonde, (orange tint and the
Emphatic blonde, pale straw color)
Among all these, the cephalic orange gold

be dreaded by men who seek for peace of
mind, calm life, and happy end.

A Gre@ Cupfosity.-We have some idea
of opening curiosity shop for ourselves.
seeing our neighber the Dispatch making so
great success of it. A lady, desirous that
the Dispatch shan't excel us in anything,
sends us two eggs, laid by a very large
Bramah hen, owned by herself. One OF
them, the smallest, is really curiosity as
to size, and unless we had confidence in the
lady sending it, we would be disposed to
doubt its origin.
1t is nothing like as large as partridge
egg, and weighs exactly fsoe,ay-one grains.
We shall not put it in our window, fearing
our neghbor might envy us its possession,
but hold ourselves ready to exhibit this
small specimen when called upon.

Death Of DR.. Moore.-Thc Enquirer of
yesterday morning thus speaks Of the death
of this able and well-beloved divine:
sour entire community was panied to
learn by telegraph from Nashville, on
Saturday, that the Rev. DIR. L. V. Moore
was dead. The dispatch announced that
he had departed this life at u o'clock on
that morning. Although not wholly un-
prepared for the sad intelligence, as the
precarious state of his health was well un-
derstood here, and several previous mes
sages had been received of tenor to warn
us for the final announcement, still il
caused severe shock to the members of
his old congregation, as well as to all others
who had known and learned to love and
respect him while engaged among us in the
holy work of his Master.
1--WE have only time and material at pre-
sent to give the briefest sketch of his life and
services. He was born in the town of New
vile, Pennsylvania, in 1912, and educated
at Dickinson College, Carlisle, where he
graduated in 1910. Soon after he entered
the Theological Seminary at Princeton,
New Jersey, from which he graduated with
the highest honors in 1912. The year pre-
vious to this he was licensed by the Pres
bytery of West Jersey, and then called to
take charge Of the church at Carlisle, Pa,
which had been made vacant by the reno
val of DIR. McGill. DIR. Moore remained
as pastor of the Carlisle church until called
to take charge of the First Presbyterian
church of Richmond in the year 1917.
Here he continued for twenty-one years,
and only left us on account of his failing
health, to try change of climate and see
merry, by accepting a call to the pastorship
of the leading church in Nashville, Tenn.
''It was with the greatest regret his con-
gregation, which had grown up under his
care, yielded him up, but they finally con-
sented, and he left us for his new home and
charge in 1868. He at once entered upon
his duties in that city, and did faithful work
until his death, which has now terminated
one of the most useful and brilliant careers
in Southern pulpit minstration.
Son Saturday session of the First Pres
byterian congregation was held atthe church
in this city upon the reception OF the news
of his death, when brief memorial address.
es were made and resolutions suitable tc
the occasion passed. The church was then
heavily draped in mourning, and yesterday

SENATOR WILSON'S WINE Bill
Senator Wilson met very cordial recep-
ton in London, where he has mingled con-
siderably with the politicians, and was late
ly given political dinner at Forster's. He
attended Surgeons church quite constant
ly, and has been of great service to the
Teetotalers, for whom he has made repeat
ed speeches. Some busybody, as piece of
smartness, started the story that Senator
Wilson had a bill of $40 presented him for
wines on the trip out, but it turns out to
have been a Mr.. Henry Wilson of New
York, instead Of the Massachusetts Sena-
for.

that being the most shallow place in the
