Advertising a Public Bene fit.

Advertising q Public Bene fit.
Business men Of a town who
advertise, are we'll aware that
advertising pays them, and we
are always pleased to hear
them say so, but they are also
entitled to some credit from the
communities in which they are
doing business, as their adver.
tisements do not speak for
themselves, alone. The adver-
tisements oftbe local paper are
always taken by the stranger
and business man, or the cap
italist looking for a location, as
an evidence of the prosperity OF
a town and advertisers are thus
working for the well-being of
the whole community in which
they live. Suppose a business
man in a remote locality wishes
to invest capital in some other
place; he will naturally choose
a place which he has reason to
believe is q "live" one and pros
pering, and where can he find
so convenient and sure an ev-
idence as in the advertisement
Of local papers which are al,
ways kept on file in all our
large cities for this and other
in ormatlon. Business men
therefore further the interest
of themselves and community
by being represented in the al
vertising columns OF their To-
cal paper.

The Courier DIES Etats Unis,a French paper,
published in New York, in commenting on the
death Of Napoleon Ill, declares that at the
French establishments where its compatriots
congregate 10 that city, the news was received
with the same bitter smile indicative of salts
faction and disdain." The Courier thinks the
announcement was received with the same in
difference in France, and adds : Napoleon
III. died at Sedan, two years ago;thc phantom of
Chiselhurst did not exist for France and it was
but an illusion cherished by handful of am
btous persons without couslsteuce and without
echo, that there still existed-almost nominally
"a Bonapartist party" We do not know that
this correct view of the general feeling IN
France, whatever it may be concerning the SEN
timents of the French republicans IN New York
and even in Paris.

Constitution, and instructiDg the joint Com
mittce on Constitutional Amendments" 1t
begins with the assertion that one Of the es-
sential incidents of the sovereignty residing in

bitable, inalienable and indefeasibe right to re-

stitution Of the United States.

of the State hath power by any provision which
it may incorporate in the State Constitution to
limit the future exercise of this sovereignty by
declaring at what times or in what manner 1t
shall express itself; nor are the people OF the
State prohibited by any such provision from
reforming, altering or amending such CoDstltu-
ton, at such times and in such manner as may
seem expedient, and receive the sanction OF a
majority of the popular vote upon regular
submission by the General Assembly"
1t further declares it to be the judgment of
this General Assembly, that the people of Vir.
GINA are not confined by the provisions of ar
tice twelve of the State Constitution to the
time or mode Of changing the same therein
prescribed but that any change, which being
proposed by the General Assembly shall be

an election ordered for the purpose, will be as
valid to all intents as if made in either of tho
modes specified in said article. y

committee on constitutional amendments, to
accompany its report of such amendments as
it may recommend, with bill providing for the
submission of the same. as soon as practicable,
to the qualified voters of the Commonwealth
for their ratification or reflections; and turther
providing, that upon a ratification thereof. or of
any of them, by majority ofsuch qualified 70.

residence of Mr.. Layman the night before aud
on Friday morning Alex Mowry and Miss
Matte Fretwell we're returning home 10 New
Hope in buggy, having been preceded by
several other parties in vehicles, Upon getting
to the ford at Coyner's mill, they found the
water quite high but thought, as those ahead
had crossed in safety, they could do the same.
But they were not aware Of how suddenly the
water had risen, since the passage Of their
friends, for they had only driven in a few steps
when the water flowed into the buggy. Sill
feeling certain that the crossing could be made,
Mr.. Mowry drove %. A moment more and
the horse lost his footing, the vehicle was lifted
from the bed of the stream and all commenced
going rapidly down the river, the furious strug
giles of the animal for his life, threatening to
overturn the buggy and drown the occupants.
Ia this perlous situation they were carried
down the raging current, the freezing water
boiling up around them and threatening to en-
gulph them every moment Mr.. Mowry de
termiued to take the only chance for life that
lay before them. Miss FretweIl was sitting
perfectly collected and not a cry of terror had
escaped her lips. Throwing the relns to the
horse he rose in the seat, and steadylDg himself
for the leap. seized her and sprang overheard
with her. Being an expert and strong s's im
mer, he cleft his way through the seethlng wa
tiers and in a short distance reached part of
the stream where he could walk ashore with
his fair burden, The horse and buggy We're
swept nearly a quarter Of mile below and
