A special meeting of tho School Roard
was held las, night to hear the report Of the
Committee on Ways and Means in regard
10 final settlement with the bondsmen OF
Henry Deckleman. in relation TO the s., 600

SIGN of five months, with IL per cent. inter-
est; provided the Board would give n receipt

Suicide or death at ones own hand seems
to be a very convenient way Of shufilinE Of
this mortal coil when this is found to be Q
"weary, weary world" Mrs. Adeline Fry
tried her hard at it yesterday by carelessly
! tossing of terrible dose Of laudnum, and
had i. not been for her good old mother she
would by this time have been where the
wicked cesse from troubling, and the weary
are at rest"
After doctor bad been summ Oned and
the dea;hly drug pumped from her stomach,
Ade!ine sill expressd desire to die, and
said she would repeat the experiment the
very next time che got chance. She is .
young woman and the wife Of
man who lately left the
pc lit-nliary, and who does not contri.
but one cent to her support. and depends
for his own upon certain notorious women Of
the town. Adeline Gays he has beaten her
nearly every time ne came home, an! abused
the little child, scarcely a year old, in a
shameful manner. In view of these circum-
stances she says sine does not want to live
any longer, and has au eirne.t desire TO go
to that iourpe from whence no traveller
ever returns" Fearing that she would at
temp, her life again, her mother consented
to her being taken to the station, where she
was locked up out Of harms way. The hue
band wa. arrested and will have to answer
to the charge of wlllful desertion of his wife
and child.

Geo. s. Smith Demands and Re.
ceives His Certificate
of Election.

Considerable speculation WAS INDUCED In
Yesterday BY the Court House officials in re-
gard 10 The fact ,ha: Geo. Smith, the de.
faui;ing county ue,surer had called at the
county clerks office, asked for and received
his Certificate Of election - the Office of
county treasurer for the term commencing
July Is, 1878. All the old county officers held
till January and then turned over to their
successors, but according TO the lay, the term
of treasurer commences in July instead Of
January. Smiths resignation at the time Of
the discovering Of hi. deficit only aifsc.ed
the balance OF his time of Office, and does not
proven, his qualifying for the second term.
Now i, remains to be eeen wha, use Smith
will make of HE election &c, tifcaie 1t it 10
his iutention, a. many aver, that he contem.
plates Stepping into the ,fiice in July next,
BY virtue Of ne election, there will be such
q howl rsisei r. WILL shake the county from
centre To cifclmitrence.
There is only Gee thing that can keep
Smith from assuming cont, o, of the al airs of
the Office in next Jolly, and that is the DIFF.
ficuity of his furnishing bond which will
be acceited ty the County Board.
A large number o. farmers who were
;ranssc;irg business st the Court HOUSE
when the matter Wa .eirg discussed gave it rs
their op;nion TIA the Board would not accept
anv bond from Smith, knOsing ;nll well that
they did .hsir live would be j-oplrdi,ed,
and that even ia m1adamss from the court
obliged Them (, approve the hood Placing
Smith in of6ce. The people vould rise in

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette. !
CULpEpER, G.. H., June 9.-lt is cncousa &
ing TO report that generally the crops OF wheat,
oats and grass never locked better Tor the time
Of the year 10 the county Of Culrcpcr. Your
correspondent made special observations in GER
tain localities along the line Of the Midland
railroad, and one of these was at Mitchell s
station. Immediately at the station the land
has an unprcposcssiug look, there being almost
basin at that point, but not more than few
rods from it is the beginning Of one OF the finest
grass and small grain regions in the Piedmont
section This is well attestcd by the crops now
| to be seen on The farms OF MIR. ). j. Wharton,
COL d. +. Slaughter, Mcssrs. Barry, Mount
| and others. The two latter are settlers from
the North. Mr. Barry, who. lives on the place
Of Mrs. SummcrviIlc, speaks in the very high
est terms Of the ada ptabity of the soil of this
locality to all general farming purposes but
particularly for the grasses and small grain. On
the place OF Mr.. Hull, two mllcs from the sta
ton, aud immediately on the line Of the road,
the small grain crops were put in without fer
tilizcrs of any kind and from appearances, the
yield will be equal to any sowed 10 the Vacnlty
Mr. r. G. Van Wyck, of New York, who is
now temporarily s,jouruing on his fine estate
adjoining that of Col. d. L. Slaughtcr's, is
having his lands improved by the very best
system Of rotation Of crops known 10 bis State.
| In strone through his and the adjoining
hill lands strong indications OF the presence OF
magnetic iron was observable, the black sand
in many places adheriug in quantities to the
magnet when applied.
Iu conclusion, will say that at almost every
point where crops arc observable from the cars,
they look well.
The wool crcp is coming in, and ready sales
are being made at goud prices Yours, II.
