A GOOD THlNG.-The Council of Fredericks-
burg have passed an ordinance to prevent boys
from crowding about the Railroad depot, riding
on.trains, &c. The panalty for violation is a
fine from So to $40, which is being rigidly en-
forced Why not the same ordinance be pass
ed and enforced in Staunton? Surely travellers
getting off at the Depot here would be delighted
with such an ordinance and enforcement.

Only afew more days remain in which to pur-
chase tickets, as the books w8ll be closed on
the LIST if possible. Tickets at one dollar are in
the reach OF all, and the object appeals to dis
interested charity for patronage. The mana
gers are energetic and reliable. 1t will be fair
ly conducted beyond all' doubt The chances
for drawing are greater than ever offered by
lotteries and the price Of tickets less than we
have ever known as compared with gifts to be
distributed. See your agent at once if you de-
sire to invest. Only a few more days remain.
Be prompt or you will lose the opportunity of
aiding a laudable enterprise and OF receiving
gift perhaps five thousand times the investment.
Such assurances of fair dealing as this home
enterprise offers can not be given by the foreign
lottery schemers.

WASHINGTON, April 20, IA.


EDS. HERALD: In. December last,
some young men of Washington and
vicinity, organized themselves into q
society which is known as the young
Mems Literary Association The
object of the association is to enter
tain it's members, and at the same
time cultivate their minds and morals,
advance their social and literary abili-
ties, and to secure ease and comfort
in language and gesture as public
speakers. For the furtherance of these
objects, the association has established
a Constitution and formed rules which
have a tendency to keep the organiza-
ton from disbanding. They meet
once week in the City Hall and con
duct their business according to parli-
mentary rules and usages. The de-
bate is the principle feature of the
exercises, and they choose those sub
jects which will furnish the most re-
search, and which, in their teachings,
will be the most beneficial to the mem
bers. A paper is published, and its
original articles, on all subjects, would
reflect credit upon editors of high
standing. The critics report is al
ways spicy, and full of good advice
to the members in the preparation of
debates, articles of composition, de-
clamations, etc.
The society is composed of young
men, about twenty-five in number,
whose ages range from fifteen to TWEEN
ty-five years. Each is expected to
take some part in the exercises OF
each evening, and it is hoped that the
ass ociation will result in some good.
The association has, until now.
kept it's proceedings secret, for rea-
sons not necessary here to state; but
intends soon to open its doors to
| the public, of which notice will be
given and it is hoped that the cheer.
full presence of our citizens who are
favorable to literary attainments, will,
in future. be means Of retaining an
organization whose pathway, thus far,
has been crowned with marked sue
cess.
In conclusion, 1 would say, that
any young man, of good moral char
acter, who would take an interest in
an organization of this kind, by doing
all that is in his power to do, for its
advancement and welfare, can become
a member, by giving his name fol
proposal. It will be voted upon by
the members, and accepted or rejected
as they, in their judgement, see proper
