tered in the cases of other parties charged with

The late Il. Il. Hill ESQ.

at meeting of the Bar and Officers Of the
Courts of Culpeper county, 90 Monday the
23rd day of June, 1873, on motion of James
Barbour, Hon. Henry ShackelIord, was called
to the chair, and on motion of Lunsford l..
Lewis, William Nj. MauZy was appointed Secro-
tary
Whercupon, on motion Of George D. Gray,
a committee OF three, consisting OF Geo ID.
Gray, chairman, JAS. Barbour, and l. j.. Lew
is were appointed by the chair to draft suitable
resolutions, expressive Of the feeling OF the
meeting on the death of Major I. i, Hill.
The committee retired, and after q short time
returned, and after some feeling remarks by
it's Chairman, in eulogy Of the lamcntcd mem
Der of this bar, Major H. T. Hill, presented the
following resolutions which wero unanimously
adopted, to wit:
The members of the Culpepcr Bar have
heard of the sudden death of Thomas L. Hill
with feelings Of the most profound sorrow, and
have met for the purpose Of paying their last
sad tribute of respect and affection to Ills NOM
orY.
AS a member of our profession, strictly faith
full to his client, to his associate, as well as
opposing counsel, he was always kind, courte-
GUS and obliging, to every member OF the pro-
fession, and pleasant and agreeable In all bis re-
lations.
As man, by his amiable character and pleas
ant manners, he had won for himself the earn
est affection of many friends, and the kindcst
feelings of all who knew him. As a husband
and father, none was ever more loving, or more
belovsd, none ever left saddcr hearts to mourn
their bereavement.
Resolved That whilst VIC would bow with
submission to this inscrutable Providence, we
deeply deplorc the loss Of our departed brother
and will ever cherish the recollection Of his
many virtues. That we tender to his bcreaved
family our heartfelt sympathy in their great
sorry, and earnestly commend them to Him
who alone can comfort and sustain them. That
we will in a body attend the funeral of our de-
parted friend and will wear the usual badge Of
mourning for thirty days.-Cnipcpcr Observer.

The Philadelphia Ledger, in its weekly re-
port of the Pennsylvania coal trade, says that
oil the FIVE great companies already have in
creased, or it is understood will increase, the
July prices of coal an average of about 10 cts.
per tom The supply of coal coming on the
market is large, and it is not improbable will
be arbitrarily lessened The most intelligent
in the trade are confident in the opinion that
coal will not be laid in this year at lower prices
than those ruling for the month of July.

eral condemnation Of the law of Congress
which gave the members of that body "back
pay" and enabled them to draw money which
was not 10 the contract when they were elect

We wish those members who have not yet re-

'Man never is, but always to be blessed
that is, he is rarely satisfied. The Baltimore
Gazette remarks that the recent law of Illinois
preventing all discrimination on freights on the
railroads, has caused trouble. 1.-THE roads
have been compelled to charge the same pro-
portional freight along the whole line. The
result has been, that where there is no compe-
tition the rates were high, and have been
lowered. Where there was competition the
rates were forced down, and have been raised.
This has produced spirit of opposition at all
competing points. Even many of those who
demanded such law, now are favorable to its
repeal"

ExPLosIoN.-A dispatch from Richmond
says that at an early hour yesterday one of the
boilers in the drying kiln connected with the
Tredegar Works exploded, instantly killing
Samuel H. Saunders, fireman. His body was
blown one hundred yards and terribly mangled,
the head and one arm being blown off. Several
fragments of the boiler, weighing from one to
two thousand pounds, were driven considcra-
Bile distance, and did much damage One piece
weighing ten thousand pounds was blown
through the wall into the extensive blacksmith
shop, greatly damaging the machinery. The
house containing the kiln was demolished. =
Fortunately the accident occurred before the
time for the hands to 90 to work, otherwise the
loss of life would have been very great, partlc-
ularly in the blacksmith shop, where nearly
one hundred hands are usually employed.
The Doc Lawfully cannot We have such
q law as tn, is 10 Loudoun,in Fairfax = There is
no reason in the world why We should not and
as we have not, it is because the farmers have
so wed it by declining or emitting to act in
concert. If they will determine upon a united
course of action, with reference to this matter,
at the next election, they can, if they will, have
the Loudoun law to operate here.
In addition to the above we have something
further to suggest We would like to see such
q law as will have the effect of graduating the
entire worthless canine pack, by such tax laid
on as will oblige the owners to kill their ours,
and do it with unwashed hands, too The
practical working of the Loudouu law is to in
demnify the owner for any loss of sheep by
dogs; but who is to indemnify the taxpayer?
The measure is only palliative and not curative,
because every sheep thus destroyed is that
much of the wealth Of the county hopelcssly
extinguished and lost. The sheep raiser may
be reimbursed, and the public schools may
share in the overplus yet the dead sheep are
cut off with all possible increase forever
