Staunton is the centre of Female Education in
the South, the students at her colleges are from
every State in that section, and from many of
the northern and western States, and her educa-
tonal institutions are entitled to the success
they have won. In their walls may be found
teachers who are graduates of the first UNIVERSE
ties in the country, and men who have carried on
the highest hon ors in learning. Their course Of
studies have been arranged by the first minds of
the land, and the discipline pursued in them is
uue1ceptionable. With such condition of
things it is not surprising, that for the last
week strangers have been gathering from all
quarters of the Union, to be present at the public
examinations, which are coming off. Trunks
marked from as far South as Texas, and as for
West as Michigan, are tossed off the hotel wagons
while the newly arrived pater famillas, red in
tho face and psrtly, is scrubbing up in his
room, for precipitate visit to the school to see
cher" Well rounded matrons, spry boys from
the Universities digni6ed merchants, lawyers
and farmers, younger sisters with the regulation
short DRESS and 'sait cellars in their sh builders,
all crowdiato our hotels, to await the examination
of the "prde of the family" And then the girls
coma down to the hotels to see the family and
give them private touch of their quality on the
piano, which makes the men in the porch stop
smoking, and crowd around tho parlor door,
while the younger sister stands struck dumb
in her pantelets wondering if the time will ever
come " hen she can sling piano around in
that style. Exhibition night the whole family
goes, and the younger sister nearly crowds her
shoulders out of her low necked dress reaching
up to see Juliet and punches her mothers breath
out of her body with ':Oh there's Juliet No
faint that's Juliet. Oh, Ma, where IS JullstF'
Al last Juliet comes forward for solo, and the
stroud mother looks at the lovely girl in white,
with nothing in her full heart but a mothers
love, and as the crowd applauds looks around
with eyes swimming in grateful happy tears
And then they all go home, and the happy par
.eats lay their heads on their pillows with the
essling that they have done tie highest earthly
duty of parent to their child--glyen her
kno ledge and cultivated mind, and the
Younger sister goes to bed to dream that she Is
an angel in white with piano under each arm
playing amid blaze of celestial gas light.

SURVEY OF A PUBLIC PARK FOR STAUN-
roN.-On Wednesday last, Mr.. Benjamin L.
Bagby, who has purchased ''Betsy Bell
mountain, containing, with the Southern ap-
proach to it, 165 acres, had the ground sur
veyed by Mr.. G. W. Gilman, with the view
Of locating winding road running to the top,
Of easy grade. When this is completed it
will be beautiful drive, from which the
finest scenery is visible all the way to the
summit. If properly laid off, this mountain
would make handsome park for the city,
and at the rate Staunton is growing, it will not
be long before the citizens will be glad of
a place to breathe the fresh air.

that genial feeling which always attends the
mingliug together of those engaged in a
common and good cause.

during this term. Upon call of tbs Chancery
docket, the first time for many years, about
270 cases were disposed of and stricken from
the docket. The Judge has disposed of l25 law
cases so far, leaving but q small number on the

the Judge requiring suitors to be ready for the
trial of cases on the official judgement docket, in

SERIOUS AFFsAY.-An ARRAY took place
at Middlebrook, Friday night, between
Mr.. Lee Squiers, proprietor Of a restaurant
there, and Mr. W. Fl. Knighton, a young
man residing in the neighborhood, arising
out of the former having used disrespectul
language to Miss Knighton, sister Of the as
sailant. The affair created good deal Of
feeling among the friends Of the respective
parties, and we have received two lengthy
communications setting forth different state
ments. One states that Squiers used abu-
sive language to the sister Of Mr.. Knighton,
on the occasion Of her calling by his house
for young lady to attend temperance lee
ture by Rev. o. Hicks, saying that no re-
spectacle lady would go, &c and the other
claims that it was "a premeditated attempt on
the part of Temperance men to assassinate
Squiers," and that several persons engaged
n the assault AS the matter will doubtless
undergo legal examination, and our space
will not admit of giving both sides fully, we
omit both letters:
