THE COMING ELECTIONs.-Hhe people
of this county will be called on, as stated
in the INDICATOR before the election,
to vote for the clerks of the County and
Circuit Courts again in May. AS the
amendments to the Constitution were
adopted, the terms of these officers expire
Oh the 1st day of July next, and their sue
cessors are voted for on the 4th Thu rsday
IN May next. AS the matter has been one
OF much discussion, we publish the opinion
Of Attorney-Gene Daniel, directed on
the subject, contained in circular ad-
dressed to the clerks of courts:
It may be assumed, although the fact is
rot yet officially announced, that the
amendments haye been ratified by the peo-
ole. They substitute maglsterlaI districts
for townships and fix the elections both of
county and magisterial district offices
clerks of courts inclnded) for the same
day-the 4th Thursday in May-aEd the
officers then elected Will go into office on
the list day Of July thereafter The first
elections under these amendments will be
held on the fourth Thursday in May, 1875,
and the officers then elected will 90 into
office on the LIST day Of July, 1875. But in
the mean time 1.-THE legally constituted
officers Of the several counties and toW1-
ships of the State clerks included) will
corltinae to discharge the duties OF their
their offices until the officers provided for
by these amendments shall have been
elected OF appointed" (S;hedule acts,
1874, page I'll; joint resolution, 3D., page
| 265.)
Had these amendments been rejected at
the late elections, the clerks then elected
would, under the existing law, have gone
into office on the first of January next.
and have served for the full constitutional
term; bul as they were ratified, whereby
clerks and other officers are to be elected
for full terms on the 4th Thursday in May
next, the elections held when the amend
| ments were voted on go for nothing; and
| the clerks then in Office 1.-THE old clerks) will
continue to serve until the LIST day of July,
1875, when they will be succeeded by those
who will have been elected under the
amendments. The clerks, therefore, elect
ed at the late elections will not qualify.

THE N51nh1tatnr4
Local.

A FORTY YEARS Renaissance OF A
PRESBYTERIAN REvIvAL.-The astonish-
inc success of Rev. Mr.. Howard, the Pres
bvterian Revivalist, in this county and
Rocl1bridge, has brought out some recol-
lections of the great Jones revival" in
1894. It was commenced by the Rev. VIM
Jones at the told stone church, from
which he came to Staunton, but no religious
interest was exhibited here, says the Lex
ington ssGazette," from which paper these
recollections are condensed. From Staun-
ton he went to Hebron, where Rev. Mr..
Calhoun was pastor, and where there was
great outpouring of grace. The meetings
there were continued night and day for
several weeks; from there he went to Bethel
where Rev. Francis Nc Farland was pastor,
where the interest displayed was very great
and preachings and prayer meetings were
the order of the day. New Providence was
next visited and people from the surround
ing churches fiocked there and the farm
houses of the nefghborhood were nightly
crowded with those who had come from a
great distance to hear the minister. From
the points named the religious feeling
spread to all the neighborhood. The revi-
val lasted through the fall and winter with
large accessiens to the membership OF the
different churches. The minister preach
ed short sermons, not exceeding half an
hour in length, nor would he have
longer sermon preached by any one assist
t. ad nprcnnal visits
to great extent among the people, con-
yersing and praying among them, and in
his meetings prayer and singing constitu-
ted a great part of the exercises An Incl
dent is related as occurring at New ProVl-
dence. Among those who MI. Jones de-
pended on very much to assist him In his
labors was old Captain James McClung, OF
pious memory. Having called on him to
lead in prayer, Captain G. was making so
stirring an appeal in behalf OF the revival
that Mr.. Jones, thinking that his position
was not suited for him to be heard, took
the old gentleman by the arm and led him
forth in front of the pulpit, Capt McClung
zealously proceeding with his prayer all the
whfIe. There is considerable degree of
similarity between this Jones revival and
the present one of MI. Howard. The former
lasted during the fall season and perhaps
part of the winter. In person Mr.. Jones
was very fieshy man, and it was astonish-
ing what an amount of labor he went
through. After the revival subsidized, he
married Miss Finley in Bethel congrega-
ton and was called to the pastorslip OF
Hebron. HeIsucceeded Mr.. Calhoun, which
caused a schism and the establishment Of
a little church known as Shiloh. Mr.. Jones
afterwards removed to the State OF Ten
nessee where he died in the ministry.

TIE NEW ORLEANS FEyER.-When

THE NEW ORLEANS FEvER.--When
little Alonzo Ferguson was told by his Ma
Monday that if he told stories he wouldn't
go to Heaven, and iesisted moment from
an attempt to stand on his head, in order
to say, II don't want to go to Heaven
want to 60 to New Orleans with my Pa, :"
he struck the key note of what has been
exciting Staunton to a white heat for sew
eral weeks past. 1t has swept off some of
our best citizens in the prime of life and
has spared neither age nor sex. We have
never seen Mr.. Ferguson so excited. He
came by our Office Monday morning to say
that he was going; Monday evening he
called again to inform us that he was going;
Monday night he spent an hour i'll our
room telling us he was going. He called 1t
"Pilgrimage," which seemed to please
him more than Excursion" He frequent
ly said "Pilgrimage" and often alluded to
the Grand Commandry and the "Emi-
nent High Priests and the "Worshipful
Sir Knights" which he should meet in that
happy land. Tuesday morning he bought a
carpet-bag. 1t was a solemn scene, and
the storekeeper seemed to feel it deeply
when F. shook him by the hand and told
him that it was intended for the "pilgrim
age.'' When he packed it, it was done
with such an air Of going away forever
that two Of the children burst out crying.
and the little girl i'm .,lored her ''Pa' to tell
where he was going. He said it was four
thousand miles. He wasn't thinking OF
what he was saying. Wednesday he en- :
gagged to take all the wives and children Of
his friends who were going. He sail they
could depend on him. He would be at the
depot in time-he was going to sit on his
carpet-bag on the platform from Wednes-
day night till the cars started. Hetook an
extra turn with a trunk on his shoulder
Thursday morning to give the town assu-
rance that he was going. Officer Parent
has dragged him off the platform two
nights. He will doubtless be there tonight.
He can be recognized by the ticket he
wears in his hat 1t is ticket to New
! Orleans.

A FORGETFUL BRTDEGROOM.-IueSd
morning Mr.. Argenbright, the deputy
clerk of the City Court, was aroused from
the legal quiet that usually prevails in his
Office by the appearance of gentleman
we'll advanced in years and spirituous Ii
quors. He said he wanted a license to be
married, and ''bedad, | have the money to
pay for it," he added. exhibiting a we'll
filled pocket book. He gave his own name,
but when that of the intended bride was
asked, said in an off-hand way, ''Sure, L
don't know. It's no use about the name.
She's nice gurrul, and d-n the man,
clerk or no clerk, that says word agn her
character The clerk suggested that it
was no reflection on the lady's character,
but a form required by the infinite wisdom
of the law. ''Is.it myself that will walk a
MOL out to the brick -yaird to find it outp
Indade it isn't. Just put down me own
name. Sure, it will be all the same to-
morrow" The clerk assured him that
dire penalties of the law were provided for
such looseness III doing business as that.
The bridegroom started out Of the door,
and stepping back, said, ''Just put it down
Hannah Price; that's a good name, and
maybe it's hers for all know" But the
clerk was obdurate, and the groom had to
walk "a MOL out to the brick-yard,' re-
turning in the afternoon with his intended
bride and a lady friend. The bride gave
her name, and to some inquiry made as
to what minister would celebrate the
marriage, declared that she would be
married by an Epis :opal minister, to
which the groom replied that she might be
married by anybody she d-n pleased"
but the ''praist" should m try him. 1t
was finally d greed that they should be mar
RED by both, and the groom adjourned
with his two lady friends to neighboring
restaurant to get drink. When last seen
he was walking down the street with his
arm around the BRIDES waist hunting up
the clergy 1.-TWO souls with but a single
