A New snd important Book.

A New and important Book.
The Political, Personal, and Property
Rights of a Citizen OF the United Stdtes-
Ho,o to exercise and hoao to prcserue them
by Theoplhtus Parsons; L. L. d.
Jones Brothers & Co.. Philadelphia, Pa.
This work is the most important which
has ever been issued from the pen Of this
distinguished author, both because 1t
contains the result of his life long labor
and study, and because it is written tor
the great mass of American citizens,givlng
clear, plain and authoritative information
with regard to those rights and duties
upon which their success and prosperity
depend.
The work embraces popular com
mentary on the constitution Of the United
States, section by section, explaining Its
principals, purposes, and the rights and
powers it confers and also full and com
plete compendium of the laws and rules
which pertain to the management OF
property and the transaction OF all kinds
OF business. The book is q marvel o.
Completeness, and of its accuracy the
name Of the author is she best possible
guaranty. His language Is simple
throughout and the subjects treated are
brought within the easy comprehension
of those uulcarned in the law.
We cannot 100 highly commend this
volume to our readers. 1t is book OF
| which every intelligent man will feed the
need as soon as he has examined 1t. The
amount of laundering and litigation that
would be avoided by a general knowledge
of its contents. cannot we'll be overesti-
| mated. 1t should be in the hands OF every
man who has any desire to understand his
rights, or any care to conduct his business
safely and without expensive legal helps
1t will undoubtedly meet with a very
large sale.
1t will be sold only by subscription, and
any one desiring an agency should apply
to the publishers.

Death Of Han. Robert 7. Conrad.

Oae by ore the links that bind us to the
past are loosed and broken. and we are
called upon 10 mourn the death of those
who have helped to make the name Of Vir-
ginia synon Gm for intellectual greatness,
patriotic zeal and personal worth.
1t Is our mournful duty to-day to chron-
icle the death Of another of Virginia's eff
ted sons, the Hon. Robert Young Conrad.
The sad event took place at his residence
in this place OH "Wednesday afternoon last
about 3 o'clock. Mr. Conrad had been in
feeble health for some time past, but the
immediate cause of his death was typhoid
pneumonia. He had reached the sixty
Linth year OF his age.
In the death OF Mr.. Conrad the bar of
Virginia loses one of Its brightest orLa-
ments He WAS known rs lawyer ofripe
learning and deep research, and As IN ad-
vocate of the greatest ability. He was
prominent member of the Convention OF
1861. Since the war he had taken but lit
tie part in political affairs. although he
watched the march of events With the
deepest Interest. He was elected to Con-
gress after the wal, but was not allowed
to take his seat. Truly, it may be said OF
him-Re was mali without fear and with
out repIoach. His lite is his fittest mon
ument. Win. Ne,cs.
