who was his friend and companion tor
years, are deeply affected 10y the sad in.
telligencc of the death OF our late and
greatly beloved comrade James Gunucll
Hurst. In that his department while
amongst us has been attended by those
attributes which characterize n true and
noble sodier-an amiable and sincere
iriend-his exit" now solicts the deep
est solemnity of all, and throws around
the very walls Of his "Alma Mater" tho
dark and mourniul veil of sorrow. We
all feel greatly for his family and join
them in the grief which so sudden n
bereavement has occasioned. We trust
he has reached n land as spotless as his
character, that he has left this world Of
wickedness to breathe the air Of happi-
ness and dwell with the blest. Let each
and every one of us take warning from
that true old age, ''In the midst OF life,
we are in death.

B6 HORRIBLE MURDER.-The Mar
tinsburg Daily Independent OF Wed
nesday says -
Annie Butler, between II and 10
years of age, daughter OF Mrs. butier'
who resides near little Georgetown, IN
this county, was found brutally murder
ed ON Tuesday morning, in Cunning
HAMS woods, about 200 yards from the
school house OH the road leading from
Jacob Seibert's to VIM. McGarys. IT
anneors that on Monday evening, as
was customary, the child was sent out
to bring up the COWS, which run az
large, and not returning, search was
made for her, and she was found early
on Tuesday morning, as described
above. When found the body showed
evidence of the murder having been
committed the evening before. Her
head had been smashed in by a power
full blow with club. The club, with
which the brutal deed had been enacted
was found near the body, covered with
blood. A corouer's jury was summon,
ed, and their verdict was that the chiia
had come TO her death at the hands OF
some person or persons unknown.
DIR. F. NJ. Davis made an eNamina-
ton of the body, but found no evidence
that any attempt had been made to VIC,
late her person, although the general
opinion is that was the object of the
murderer, who becoming alarmed tor
his safety by the screams OF his victim,
silenced her by blow on the head which
produced her death.
All the incidents connected with the
horrid affair 60 to show that the murder
must have been committed between hve
and six o'clock in the evening The
boldness of the fend is shown in the
fact that the body was found but few
wards from public road, and if not IN n.
SIGHT. almost within hailing distance OF
the residences of Jacob NJ. Selbert, ESQ.,
and of Mrs Cox.
A colored man who had been seen to
enter the woods about the time the girl
left home was arrested yesterday morn
ing on suspicion of being the author OF
the crime, but after an examination be-
fore Justice of the peace he was re-
leased. 1t was testified that the color
ed man had been met near the spot
where the body was found, by white
man his boots correspondent with the
footprints of the supposed murderer
and blood was discovered on the toe
and instep of one of his boots. AS soon
as the accused was released he abscond-
ed. but the sheriff is now after him, and
in all probability will succeed in recap
turing him.
A large club was found about one
hundred yards from the place where the
deed was committed, covered with blood.
The man accused was usually very
cheerful, but after the murder seemed
very much distressed The body was
terribly bruised, and the upper part OF
the head was mashed into jelly. The
victim was poor but very much re-
spected girl.

on Friday night of last week. A post

could be assigned for death, other than
that the stomach had been somewhat
inflamed. This makes the sixth horse
this company has lost by death, within
the last six months, which to say the
least is miraculous, and surely some
cause ought to be assigned.

GENERAL ORDERS,

GENERAL ORDERS,
1t is with painful feelings that the SUI
perintendant announces to the Corps OF
Cadets. the death of their late associate
ex-Cadet JAMES GUNNELL HURST
of Jefferson County, West Virginia.
Young Hurst had just entered the
second class. Coming to the Virginia
Military Institute with imperfect prep
aration, he had to struggle with many
difficulties in his course, and in deter
mining the question whether with these
disadvantages he would still prosecute
his course or return to his home, he was
influenced by the consideration that nc
was now 81 years old-had an old and
widowed mother to care for, and that
his duty to her required him to remain
with her. His resignation was accept
ed on the 18th of September, 1878, and
on the 2Sth of September he was killed
by being thrown against a tree whilst
riding young and fractions horse.
A warm and generous friend, brave
and good soldier-respected and below
ed bv his comrades. His early and UNI
timely death admonishes all Of the I'M
certainty of life.

ABOUT FARMERS HOME

A great deal is said and written about
farmers homes how to make them at
tractive, and how to keep boys on the
farm. Little of it proves seed sown up
on good ground, important subject as
it is. 1t needs experience in this as in
other matters to make correct decisions
as to the elements necessary in farm
er's home and life to make them attrac-
tive to youth. Having just passed the
meridian between youth and manhood we
think ourself qualified to name some OF
the true elements of success in this line.
In the first place, young boys should
not be overworked, for nothing will
sooner, or more certainly, ALLEVIATE them
from home and the farm. Believing
both to be only places of toll and con-
finement, they seek at their earliest OPP
portunity for some more congeniai
sphere of labor, and leave the farm and
home to degenerate. Boys should have
time for recreation, and when they work
such work as will interest them. They
should be allowed full advantage OF all
school privileges, with means for study,
and willing assistance at home. Books,
papers, &c, of a proper-not all OF a
serious-character should be provided,
and taste for study and reading thus
early inculcated, engaging their minds
and-keeping them closed to the glitter
ing Illusions of the world. The house
should not be made prison, but a place
of unlimited freedom in proper games
and amusements, with the flash OF
laughing eyes to light its rooms, the
Goals of affection to warm its hearth,
mirth and wit to cheer the occupants.
At the table, instead of grim silence let
the thoughts have vent; converse up
on matters of general, personal or pub
lie interest discuss the topics OF the
day. and the affairs of the farm. Keep
the house and grounds, after they are
tastefully laid out, in thorough repair F;
let order and neatness prevail in both,
and keep the daily, monthly and yearly
work Systematically arranged and per
formed. Educate the children in rellg-
ions as we'll as secular affairs, and seek
to instil habit of regular attendance
upon divine services. Solicit and en-
pape the fullest confidence in all mat
tiers, either of little or greatimportance.
Preserve unity in family relations, let
ting no bad example of the parent, meet
the eyes of the children, and show a
discreet liberality of opinion in all mat
tiers. The girls may do great deal to-
wards keeping the boys at home, for II
they try to make the in door affairs IN
teresting, pleasant and agreeable
which is the natural sphere OF their sex
the boys will appreciate their efforts
and he more contented at home.
