The Richmond Wing, speaking of the old
political parties Of the county, says I'VE
have long since ceased to remember the politi-
cal differences that divided our people prior to
the war between the two great patriotic and ma
tional parties that then existed In the selec-
ton Of agents to serve the Commonwealth we
look alone to the present position Of men and
their capacity to efficiently serve US, aud il re-
liable, faithful and true, we care not to know
whether in other days they followed the flag Of
glorious old Harry of the West or sang peans
in honor of that noble patriot, the hero OF New
Orleans Lee and johnson were Wings,
Jackson aud Beauregard Democrats The
Conservatives Of to-day are the Democrats and
Wings of the olden time, cemeuted into holy
brotherhood for one common purpose, to pre-
serve the Commonwealth. -"

THE MARKET HOUSE IN LYSCHBURG.-We
are cratiied to sce that the work on the new
market house is progressing so rapidly that its
entire completion is now confidently expected
by the first day Of October.
The old building was erected So years ago at
cost Of $3.50. There are many associations con-
uected With the old structure. 1t has witnessed
many a storm and change, and the founders and
buildrs the city have found it always and under
all circumstances middle ground, upon which
they might meet and discuss their grievances
and their domestic affairs. The stately steps
Of John Lynch, the founder Of the Hill City,
and Of Charles Lynch, the author of Lynch
law" have often trod its stony floor; the bu!ch-
ers and huckstcrs who have made and lost
their fortunes under its moss-covcred roof are
urmberless, and, the value of the products
which have been sold can never be enumerated
or even guessed at.
B.forc its front entrance, which has been i'm
mortaliz ID by the painting of Foster two young
and brilliant editors met on a sunny morning,
long years ago. and engaged in a personal rem
cDunlrc which carried grief and mourung to

UNFoRTCNATE-- That was very unfortunate
affair that happened to young Millicent, Of the
band, Friday night He had engaged some of
his fellow members to join him in a serenadc to
an estimable young lady on Essex street, with
whom he is keeping company; and at midnight
the party repaired to her residence, with their
instruments and music and boy to hold the
torch. Everything started off well, and the
entertainment promised 10 be as gratifying as
the most sangulnc could have asked. During
The performance of the second piece, gem
from Moz4rt's collection, the boy vino was lcau-
ing against tree, was so Influenced by the
harmony and soothcd by the melody, that he
uuconscIou>ly dropped off into slumbcr, and
a moment later the torch suddenly swerved,
aud descended with its blaze of camphene
against the back of young Milicent's head. aud
IN i fash ignl;ed the wavy masses of bis hair.
The others dropped their instruments, aud
smohercd the flames in an instant, but it had
done Its work. His head was entirely burned
over, and he had to be carried home, and the
young lady was made SO sick by the fumes of
the burning hair that she was Obliged to keep
her bed al Of the next day. 1t will be month
or more before young Alllicent will he able to
appear on the street, which will give the torch
boy plenty Of time to arrange his earthly affairs.

TIE EXPERIMENT Of dispensing with corpo
real punishment Ill the public schools has been
tried recently by Chicago, with the most sat.
istactory results In the beginning the teach.
ers were, as a body, sceptical as to the good
effect prophcsicd by the advocates Of the non
punishment SYSTEM They were lett no power
10 dealing with refractory pupil save that OF
writing note of suspensions, aud laying the
case before the Superintendent. Under the
old system the suspension fer misconduct, in
addition to the infection of corporeal punish
meut, averaged one day for every -, 600 pu-
pills Under the new system that number was
increased nearly one half the first SIX months,
but after teachers aud pupils had become ac-
customed TO the new system, the average was
one to every l1,0JO pupils. The Superlnten-
dent of the Chic1go schools looks upon the cX-
pertinent as a decided success, and considers
the fact demonstrated that corporcal punish
mcnt may be dispensed with as Il mode of
school discipline. -Bnh,o1ore american.
