EX-SENATOR LANE.-Ex-Senato Lane,
of Indiana, is visiting here, with his wife
"a woman of great vigor and clearness
of intellect. Lane beat Hendricks in the
canvass for Governor in 1860, and was
elected to the Senate Immediately after.
He is genial, whole hearted man, always
popular, better on the stump than in the
courtroom, and man who has record of
unimpeached integrity that any one might be
proud Of. Mr.. Morrill,, of Maine, fell in
with him on his way to the Republican ma
tional convention Of 1860, and naturally
conversation turned on the resources of
the Western country. "You seem to have

How TO BUILD UP A Town. The
town Of Staunton, the growing city of the
great Valley of Virginia, has improved
faster and increased her dimensions and
population since the war to greater
extent than any other in the State. At
that time she claimed population of 8,
500, and now she boasts of 5000 to T.
900, or about double in the brief period
that has elapsed-eight years. In answer
to the question what has caused this pros
perity, correspondent of the Charleston
Courier, writing under date of December
10th, 1873, gives some of the reasons,
which we commend to the consideration
of the citizens of Charleston. He says:
Perhaps the main channel, through which
money has poured into this small city
are the large female schools. There are
no less than five schools, and some of
them have almost national reputation
and have well sustained it for some years
past. At three Of these schools, there
are about six hundred young ladies from
distance; and estimating (he estimate
is far less than those who have to pay
would put it, each to spend $500 in the
community we may well see how the
whole city is flooded with money. But
the fact is nearly, if not all of, half
million dollars are thus distributed among
all classes yearly l" What an incentive
for the building up of first class schools
in our midst.--Spiit of Jefferson.

the editor says, you can't fling brick in
that town without hitting dashing young

Throwing bricks at such targets is, to be
sure, new way Of showing gallantry but
probably this editor thinks it the surest
way to bring down the game.
