THE BAR ASSOCIATION will give their views
this evening on the qualifications of the
Presidents protfge and candidate for the Chief
Justiceship. AS there are many eminent
representatives Of the legal profession in this
association their opinions will be looked for
ward to with interest. The candidate for the
lamented Chase's shoes will have to run the
gauntlet of the entire country before he reaches
the goal, if such ever will be the reward Of
his overweening ambition

'SUpPosE," says Western paper, mot to
put too fine point upon it, that Williams did

should give rise to the gravest suspicion ~
Yes the very gravest-the grave Of over
reaching ambition.

demanded of this one is comparatively light
and easy. We shall want, for the present, but
little tinkering with our city charter, although
clearer definition than now exists of the
powers rights and duties, respectively, of the
heads Of our city departments is much to be
desired. Above all things, in view of the recent
annexations to the city from Westchester we
need rapid transit for a hundred thousand
passengers down and up daily between the
widely separated northern and southern ex-
tremities of the metropolis. With our present
inadequate, slow and uncomfortable means of
communication Harlem, from the lower end Of
the city, is, in the important matter of time,
farther off than Newark or New Brunswick,
in Jersey. Within the last ten years we have
been building up numerous towns and cities
in Jersey, on Long Island and in Connecticut
because of the difficulties to business men of
reaching the upper from the lower end Of this
island. Rapid transit, then, for a hundred
thousand passengers down and up daily be-
tween the Battery and our new acquisitions
from Westchester is our paramount necessity
And we want double line of swift communi-
cation to begin with, which will not require
ten or fifteen years for its completion, but
which within twelve months will be in active
operation, though the work may demand for
this period the constant employment of fifty
thousand men. As an investment the more
rapidly this work is pushed through the more
profitable it will be to the city and all con-
cerned in the enterprise.
Our harbor distractions and our river fronts
should not be neglected BY this Legislature.

TERRIFIC HAILsTORM.-Pas by
the Valley Railroad bring information of
a terrible hailstorm lower down the Valley,
on Wednesday. Below Harrisonburg the
hail was six inches in depth. From Mil
ler's Bottom to Edinburg the storm pre-
vailed with great violence, and in Loudoun
county was terrific. The hail stones in
many cases were as large as walnuts, and
the depth of the fall several inches. The
wheat and corn were ruined in the track
of the storm.
1t struck Strasburg about l O'Clock in
the day and hardly left a pane of glass in
the part of the town on the left of the
pike. The storm was q miles wide, and
the strip of country it passed over was 10
miles long. One passenger says the hail
stones were two inches in diameter
Near Mt. Scion, in Augusta, the large
Switzer barn of LESSEE Ralston, was blown
down and one horse killed and three Grip
pied, and Mrs. Showalter's barn in the
same neighborhood, was unroofed. A
great deal Of timber and fencing were
blown down. The hail was accompanied
with violent wind and rain.

STAUNToN FURNISHING OHIO WITH
BED SPRINGs.-Last week, Mr.. Ross, of
thefrm of Nichols, Ross & Co., large deal
ers in Furniture, &C., Portsmouth, Ohio,
called on Mr.. S. M. Wilkes, of this city, TO
sell him their Qneen City Spring Bed Bot
tom, when Mr.. Wilkes showed him his
patent Bed Springs. Mr.. Ross examined
them carefully, and remarked that for
strength, simplicity, ease in putting up
and taking down, small compass in pack
ing, and in fact. for everything desirable
in a spring bed bottom, Mr.. Wilkes had
capped the climax, and instead of selling
the Queen City, left an order for a number
of the different sizes of Wilkes Spring
Bed Bottoms, to which our attention was
called when being shipped. We applied
to Mr.. Wilkes, who gave US the facts as
stated, and also showed the charge on bis
books of June 4th, for the shipment made.

The STAUNTON FEMALE SEMINARY.

The final exercises of this Institution
were conducted with that simplicity which
has always characterized them, and which
the President seems always to have spe-
cially in view. From the snowy unadorn-
ed dresses of the lovely girls, to the touch
ing airs sung by them, the absence Of dis
play was conspicuous. On Sunday night
the commencement sermon was preached
by Professor S. A. Repass, of Roanoke
College, at the Lutheran Church, and on
Tuesday night, Notwithstanding the in
tense heat of the weather, it was densely
crowded to witness the commencement
exercises. The exercises were commenced
with the chorus ''See the Conquering Hero
Comes. - well sung by the vocal class. The
song, "Oh How I Love my Mountain
Home,' was beautifully sung by Miss
Kindig, and the duett, "The Joyous
Reaper" by Misses. Chaplin and Richard,
being both worthy of the highest praise

ANNUAL ADDRESS

on education He depicted the complete
ness of education and the symmetry required
for it's perfection, showing that while
lingual, philosophical, and mathematical
departments were all necessary, yet if the
ethical feature was omitted, the whole
building was of small account. The moral
education was, of them all, the highest de-
partment. It is something that the State
cannot give, nor it's equivalent, and the
teacher has fulfilled his highest duty when
he has formed the moral sentiment of the
pupil The
PARTING ADDRESS
by the Principal, Rev. j. l. Miller, was
appropriate and touching, and his allusion
to one of the class missing by the hand of
Death, was full of tender beauty and

opened, and after they had testified Hon.
A. H. H. Stuart stated to the court that
all agreement had been made by the pros

without argument. The case was then
given to the jury, with some instructions
asked for by the defence, and after an alb
sence of five minutes they returned with a
verdict of ssnot guilty" The prisoner,

body had who heard the evidence, was
unmoved, and few minutes after, walk

affection, had been at her side during the
