LOCAL NEWS.

CORRECTION. Mr.. r. L. Carne requests US
TO say that our reporter misunderstood re-
mark made by him n the School Board, yes
and fuller report of what be then said:
"rhe Superintendent of Schools said that
he thought he could readily account for the
change of opinion in MIR. Hopkins. When the
project for building il school house was enter
tained. house for the boys, which was most
needed was the only one thought of. For that
purpose Mr.. Bradleys building, having scarce
IL any yard, was entirely uufr, and he had SO
pronounced it, When Mr.. Addison had sug-
rested its use as schooI-house for girls, how
ever, the whole aspect Of things was changed,
and, becoming satisfied that no suitable house
Tor the boys could be built with the means at
the command of the Board. he had become a
warm advocate of the purchase and had spoken
tavorably Of it to nearly, if not quite, all the
trustees, aud especially to Mr.. Hopkins, who
had drawn a plan for the new building. He
thought the argument he had used strong
enough to change MIR. II. s mind, and was of
opinioa that he had accomplished that result
During bis reccut brief absence from the
city one of the papers had alluded to the re-
turn by him of present which Mr.. Bradley
had attempted to make him. He would here
",
idea whatever that Mr. Bradley had any i'm
proper motive in making him that present.
The circumstances were these: A friend had
Informed him that valuable present had been
made to member of the Board by Mr.. Brad
ley, and that strong suspicion Of bribery at,
tachcd to it and, further, that Mr.. B. pro-
posed making presents to other members of
the B,arI and, also, to the Superintendent of
Schools Believing that the acceptance of gifts
by public officers was improper. and yet not
Wishing TO offend Mr.. Bradley, who was an old
friend, he had requested his informant to tell
that gentleman that he could not receive any
thug if offered, and 10 request that no offer be
made. Sometime afterwards, however, MIR.
George Ii. Hinken brought handsome rock
ing chair to his house. He chaDced to meet
him at the door, and required him to carry it
back at once to MIR. Bradley aud tell him he
could aud would receive no present whatever.
Mr. B. was somewhat offended at the time,
aud he believed was not yet fully satisfied
about the matter. He wished to say that had
he accepted the gift, he should feel just as IL.
noceut Of bribery as he did now. He had told
Mr.. Bradley, when he had proposed the buy
lug of the house to him, that it would not an
swer, and that gentleman had never again
urged it upon him. Indeed, he had felt some
what nettled because, while others were being
importuued about it, he was treated as it he
had neither interest nor influence iu the mat
ter His only reasons for returning the gilt
were motive of public policy aud regard tor
his reputation.

TIE SUSPENSION OF MARCUS d. BUCK
The report published in the Alexandria Ga
zette that this gentleman had made au assign
meut for the benefit of his creditors, We learn,
is incorrect. Owing to the depressed state OF
BUSINESS aud bis failure to realize upon his
large stock of brandy and wine, Mr. Buck has
been Compelled to suspend payment TO his cred
ilors. We have no very accurate Information
as To his liabilities, but hear them estimated at
about 100000. MIR. Bucks creditors are
among the mos, substantial citizens Of Warren
county, aud it is believed his assets, With those
Of his sureties, are sufficient to cover all debts.
There was s. meeting of creditors at tho Shen-
andoah Valley Bank yesterday, at p. w., TO
determine upon measures for the protection OF
their interests. MIR. Bucks high character,
Integrity and energy have attracted universal
sympathy in his present misfortune, aud we
hope that some plan may be adopted. by which
he may be enabled to work out OF hls dlthcul'
ties without loss to his creditors. = Winchester

THE REVIVAL MEETINGs.-The attendance
at the noon prayer meeting, yesterday, was still
larger than the day before. Mr.. Howard read
the 18th and 18th verses OF the l4th Chapter
of John, and made some comments. One was
very striking, that Christians in most cases
read the promises and believe them for others
but not for themselves. He then narrated in
detail number of instances in which be had
himself experienced direct answers to his pray
ers. and known such answers to the prayers of
others recently at Salem, Big Lick aud Lynch-
burg. The instances were certainly remarkable.
From this address Que would suppose him to
be leading such life of faith az the whole
Christian world is wondering at 10 George Mil
Ter of Bristol The service for children and
young people in the Second Presbyterian
Church at night, was very largely attended.
The church was crowded, aud the whole Vestl-
bue was filled Mr.. Howard has one particu-
lar feature in these services, which is the read
ing of letters he has received from persons con-
verted under bis ministry. He read several
last night from children from nine to fourteen
years of age. His design seems to be to show
persons 10 this way by living example how they
too may become Christians. His sermon was
% the words of Jesus on the cross, u
thirst" 1t was simple, deyout, and
loving recital of the .Savior's suffcriugs
when he made at0ncment tor our sins.
The application was most earnest and tender
appeal to every one, young or old, to love Him
who has 80 proved His love to US, and the
truth was pressed home with great directness
and urgency that we must love the Saviour, or
stand convicted before heaven and earth OF the
blacklist ingratirude. 1t seems unfortunate
that the service last night was protracted hall
hour longer than the time appointed, but this
was in large measure due to the fact that the
people were half hour too late in assembling.

Crop Prospects IN MARYLAND. Present

Crop PRospEcTs IN MARYLAND. Present
intelligence from oil the country between here
and Baltimore, along the line of the Potomac
and Patapsco rivers and the Chesapeake Bay,
is to the effect that the prospects for all SORTS
of farm produce are more favorable than they
have been for several previous years; and that
the large amount of guano used by the farmers
living in the section of country alluded to,
together with the late copious rains, will Increase
the products of the farms fourfold, unless the
present favorable indications be marrcd by un
foreseen evil contingencies. Half the tobacco
crop has already been pitched, and the plant
beds are holding out remarkably vel, aud the
wheat, oats and corn are far advanced, aud pre-
sent every appearance of large yield.

first of July, for month, will be anticipated
Just as soon as the stock OF puddled iron on
hand is worked up, which will be in a
few days, when the mills will likely be clos
ed for about two mouths Ii it should prove
to be true it is very serious affair for tho
