THE PARTICULARS
OF which as We have been able TO gather
them are as follows: McsSrs. Jesse Schum-
pert & Whitman, with hired threSher and
engine, were engaged in threshing the
wheat Of Mrs. Fclcrs. The engine WAS run
by Mr.. Drayton Brown, son Of Mr.. Geo.
Brown, the owner Of the machinery. The
parties had been threShIng successfully du-
ring the morning, but about
10 MINUTES PREVIOUS
to the dreadful accident, the engine had
been stopped, TO enable the operators TO
make repairs on the thresher, and all felt
perfectly safe. Nr. Schumpert and Mr
Brown were on top the lhrcsher, which
was in close proximity to large barn, and
the engine some thirty feet distant from the
barn. There were eight colored men en-
gagged around in different ways, some Of
whom during the ten minutes in'erva! had
seated themselves on the door Of the barn,

THE INSTITUTES.

A Programme of exercises for the
Teachers Institute has been issued and q
copy will be sent to all the teachers in the
county. Every teacher has an urgent so,
licitation to attend the coming Institute.
Important changes are to be made in the
management of the schools. II is more
than likely that some Of these changes
will be foreshadowed at the Institute. 1t
is also important that as many school COM
missioners as possible attend. These Of
fcers, as a general thing, do not take
enough interest in carrying out the pro-
visions Of the school law. They need t.
understand fully their duties. At the
Institute, an opportunity will be afforded
them of obtaining new ideas with regard
to teaching, &c.

THE CODE In VIRGINIA.

Two young bloOds Of Richmond, Vir-
ginia, fought a duel near that city on
Friday of last week. The difficulty grew
out Of two verses of dogsrel poetry(?)
which one Of them racked his silly brair
in composing, addressed to a young lady
with whom he had once had a falling out.
They tough: with navy revolvers at ten
PAGES, and at the second fire succeeded in
severely wouuding each other. One of
them, Mordecai, was severely wounded,
and the other, McCarty, dangerously.
The parties are said to be respectfully con-
nected. The seconds were arrested.

DEATH of CHIEF JUSTICE
CHASE.

The death roll for the past twelve
months, presents many illustrious names,
but none more so than he whose name
heads this article, and whose sudden
demise has cast q feeling Of gloom over
the whole country. Salmon P. Chase has
stood for many years in the front rank
among those whom their co%uutrymen de.
light to honor. And well has he deserv-
ed the many testimonials Of regard OF
which he has been the recipient. His
pure unsullied life has earned for him the
highest mede of honor. The following
tribute to his memory from an editorial
in the New York TFtbun. is both appro.
pirate and deserved:
But when all this is said, something
greater than all remains to be added
that the man was greater than his history.
Eis record presents no stumbling blocks
in the way Of the young and ardent. His
blameless life can bear the light reflected
upon it by his great achievements. II
needs no reserves or concealments. In
every social anG domestic relation he was
without blemish. Amid the wide corrup'
ton of the time, and the wide babble Of
calumny, his name remains as white and
unsmirched as if it belonged to some here
of tradition. He was a firm, consistent
and active Christian-confessing his faith
openly, and giving no religious matters
the earnest attention which showed he
considered them the chief of human con-
Germs. There is no finer story in all our
annals than that of this strenuous and CO.
herent life this great moral gladiator,
upright and just before Heaven and men.
fighting the good fight faithfully all his
days, and passing at last from the summit
of earthly honors into the Infinite peace
of God."
