A MAN MURDERED BY A CORONER
WITH AN EMpANELLED JURY.-The
following account Of verdict of a
Coroner's Jury was clipped from a
recent'number of the Progressive Age
of ewberry:
At the inquest held over the body
of Thomas Bedenaugh, who was
drowned in Saluda river, by James
Henderson, Coroner, with an empan-
nelled jury, on the 22d of March,
1873. the jury rendered in verdict,
that he came to his death by his own
carelessncss and risk in trusting to
his own powers for his delivery.
It. would appear from this that any
man IN New berry county, who makes
any personal exertions to save his
own life is to be murdered by the
Coroner and jury on account of his
presumption.- Carolinian.

The following delsetable document has
been placed in our hands by gentleman
who has dissolved his connection with the
Conservative organisation, and therefore fails
to respond to the very polite invitation to
pungie. We give it publicly through the
Pass without charging the Conservatives
cent for our trouble. It will by this method
reach great many who would otherwise fail
to see it, and we will have the satisfaction OF
having contributed to the necessities OF our

be in chronic state of impeouniosity I;

ACCIDENTS AT THE FAlR.-The spindle to the
buggy in which Mr.. Dsnuis O'Cennor and Mrs D..
Burke were riding on the Fair Grounds yester-
day, broke, the wheel fell off, and the horses
commenced kicking, breaking the buggy, and
throwing the parties out. Mr.. O'Connor held to
the reins with the grip of a polar bear, and
prevented the horses from getting away.
Mr.. Dickinsons horses got the better of him,
few minutes afterwards, kicked loose from the
buggy, and run some distance before they wore
stopped. No person seriously hurt, but the bug
gy was broken.
The cit Gems of Harrisonburg on last Saturday
voted in the proposition to extend the time
for the completion of the Narrow Gauge rail-
road from that place to Bridgewater one year
longer. This was necessary to make binding thei r
subscription of $25,00O 1t was carried by the

WitlHcrs and Daniel ON the Free
school System.
[ From the State Journ

Let us see what Col Withers, the Conser-
vatiye candidate for lieutenant governor said
Of this system not so long ago that we need
to Jog his memory or that of his Conservative
friends in regard to his utterances. Having
copy Of the constitution containing the
school law in his hands, he said at Farmville
and other places in the state; 'sYou may
strike out the test-oath and DISTINGUISHING
clause, and tie county organization system,
but you still have that infamous free school
system left, which will, if adopted, force the
property holders Of the state to pay regi-
ment Of she carpet-baggers' from Massachu-
sets to educate the children Of nom property
holders" He then spit upon the constitu.
ton, threw it down and stamped it und er
his feet. We have the authority of gentle
man who both saw and heard this, and whose
name can be given if desired,
Mr. Raleigh I. Daniel, who now aspi7es
to the position Of law officer Of the common
wealth, was member Of the last legislature
from this city and while quite as decided as his
6le-leaders in his opposition to the school sys-
tenn, lacked somewhat Col. Withers, theatri-
cal demonstration. During the legislation Of
last winter, Mr. Daniel, in discussing meas
ure relating'tc free schools. said '.Ifever [
have the power will render the school fea-
ture OF the constitution nugatory. 1t shall
never be carried out by any vote or action Of

STUART's MODERATOR REVOLVING GRATE.-Many
patents have been taken out in England to secure
the slow and more perfect combustion OF coal by
introd ucng the raw coal under the fires. These
have all most signally failed, owing to the
complicated machiueryIby which they endeavored
to achieve this object The pantentees of Stuart's
Moderator Revolving Crate, claim to have solved
the problem In their CRATE, the basket or fire
container is composed of two distinct hemis
pheres Lighted coal being placed in the bot

hemisphere is placed on the top Of it. By means
of the attached handle, the fire can be at once

This means all the gaseous products and smoke of
the coal are passed through the hot fire and con-
sumed, nothing being loss. By means of the
handle and cogs, the fire can be moderated either
to burn slowly or quickly, and the heat can be
directed to any portion of the room. The most
perfect combustion Is insured by the admission
of air onsevery side. No heat Is lost as in CRATES
of the old pattern by conduction through the back
of the CRATES. 1T requires brick work or

Tribute of Respect

| At a stated. communication of Widows Son
Lodge No. 60, of A. F. and A. NJ, held in Ma
sons Hall Charlottesville, on the 4th day of
October 1873, A. L., 1913, Worshipful Peyton s.
Coles, District Deputy Grand Master, laid before
the Lodge circular from the Grand Secretary of
the Grand Lodge of Virginia, issued by order of
the Most Worshipful Grand Master, announcing
the death, at his residence in St,.unton, Augusta
county, on Wednesday, the 10th ultlmo, Of the
Most VI. Past Grand Master LEVI L. STEVEN
SON; whereupon. on motion, Wor. Bros. VIM.
Wertenbaker, G. w. Spooner, and Bro. w. G. n.
Randolph were appointed a committee to draft
suitable resolutions of respect to the memory of
our deceased brother, who offered the following,
which were unanimously adopted;
l. Resolped, That in the death of Brother
STEVENSON we, in common with all Masons in
Virginia, mourn for the loss of most distin-
guished and beloved brother-one who through
out q long life in his daily walk and conversation
fully exemplihed the time-honored principles of
our Order aud who DEVOTED the high Intellectual
powers with which nature had ende wed him TO
the study Of Masonry, theoretically and in its
practical working, and who as Masonic lectur-
er and teacher was never surpassed. He q
deyout Christian, @ good and holy man. Some of
us are old enough to recall to remembrance the
time when Masonry was at its lowest ebb-a
time when Brother STEVENSON and few others,
with mistaken fidelity, firm resolution and un-
faltering courage, upheld and sustained on their
own shoulders the institution weighed down, as
it was. with persecution and obioquy.
2. Resolued, Thai in token of the respect which
we bear for the memory Of our beloved and de
ceased brother the Lodge furniture and jewels
be draped in mourning for three months.
g. Resolued, That copies of these resolutions
be transmitted to the family Of our deceased
brother, to the Lodge of which he was MEM
Der, to the Grand Secretary, and to the newspa-
pers of staunton, Richmond and charlottesville
for publication.
