WASHINGTON CEMETERY.-The Legs
lature of West Virginia, just adjourned,
passed Bill appropriating $500 to
bury the Confederate dead in Washing
ton Cemetery. This appropriation, like
the one of same amount made by the
Legislature of Virginia a year ago, was,
owing to the condition of the State
Treasury, necessarily small, but it indi=
Gates the proper feeling of the Legisla-
ture and is most creditable toit The
Bill, voted for alike by both Democrats
and Republicans was passed by hand
some majority, Notwithstanding many
other appropriations, with large lobby
influence, tailed or were defeated: To
DR.. l. S. Tanner from Shepherdstown,
a member of the House of Delegates,
belongs the chief credit for this appro,
priation. He introduced the Bill, and
Notwithstanding the fact that owing to
the time occupied by the Senatorial
contest and the removal of the Capital,
very few bills were passed, by his zeal
and determination, he kept this one be-
fore the Legislature and secured its
passage.-Hagerstown Mail:

work; go to it with alacrity and cheer

which will make you respected and be-

learn to take care ofyour own. Young
men in this age are too fond OF getting
rid of work. They seek for easy and
lazy employment, and often turn out to
be poor, miserable vagabonds. You
must avoid all wishes 20 live without

curse; it makes men healthy; finds
them in food, clothing, and every other
necessary, and frees them from tempta

DEATH OF Cart. Z. G. ALsuRTrs.-
We learn with regret the decease of
Capt. E. G. Alburtis, which occurred at
his residence in this city on Sabbath
night last. Capt. A. was well known
in this community and for many years
clerk of the county court. He formerly,
in connection with his brother the late
Samuel Alburtis, published the Prgin-
ia Republican in this city. He COM
manded company in Col. Hamtram-
ick's regiment during the Mexican war,
and also was commander of the Wise
Artillery during our late civil war. lie
proved himself brave and meritorlous
officer. Peace to his ashes.-Narfins-

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

It appears that man was turned out
of tho North Carolina Legislature TOT
Atheism and this by colored votes
Whereat q religious paper in Chicago
is much offended and not only dis
parages this much laughed-at State, but
turns Cuffee into ridicule upon the first
indication which has come to our knowi
edge of his Legislative wisdom.
The said Chicago paper after ac=
knowledging great wickedness in the
Northern States seeks 70 be revenged
of the religion of North Carolina IN the
following terms:-
Along with this story, comes one
that there is witch living in Indiana
The woman 3 hair cannot be combed;
It mats as it is combed straight, and
seems like the hair ola Medusa, to have
distinct and snake-like life. Her eyes
also roll in an awful manner. The
writer then saws: .'The public is great
" excited, and there is talk OF putting
the woman to death lest she bewltch
others" 80,
If this suffering woman could be
carried in freight car, and placed be-
fore the North Carolina Legislature
those colored statesmen would make
short work of the question of her desti-
nv for next to atheism as a most fear
full thing, comes witchcraft; for while
atheism is the absence of the Good
Being, witchcraft is the presence OF the
devil. 1t is doubtful whether the State
of Indiana possesses the courage to deal
with this horrible case. 1t is probable
a temporizine policy, milk-and-water
method will be followed, and the infec-
t;on of witches will spread all over
Indiana, aud the adjoining States ILL.
nois is in danger.
While speaking of the piety OF the
Carolina Legislature We recall story
told recently of planter who found
that one of his colored men had been
doing some large preaching GU Sundays.
Meeting him on Monday, he said,
"Moses, hear that you are preaching
nowadays with much success. eyes,
boss, sometimes de Laud glib me great
powah." "Well, Moses, ! wish next
Sunday you would preach against steal
ing. The boys are taking my chickens,

A Good Citizen Dead.

1t becomes our painful duty to record
the death of Rein Z. Coontz, which
occurred at his residence in this city,
about ten o'clock last night.
Mr.. Cooptz had been afflicted with
pulmonary consumption for many years,
from which at times his suffering was
intense, and death came al last to the
weary sojourner amid the trials and
pains of earth, a welcome messenger.
Mr.. Coontz was born in Jefferson
county, Virginia, Nov. 7, 1910, and
consequently was 81 years, 4 months
and 7 days of age, at the time OF bis
death. After his marriage, which oc-
Cured in Virginia, he moved to Ohio
where he resided four years, and from
thence he came to Florida, Monroe
county, Missouri, in 1886. After o
residence there OF eight years, he came
to this city where lie has since resided.
The deceased leaves a wife, to whom
he had been married ii years, and sew
eral children, all of whom are grown,
and one OF whom is Benton COontz, at
present deputy sheriff aud collector OF
Marion county.
Mr.. Coontz was of . retiring, quiet
disposition, strictly honorable in all bis
dealings with his fellowmen, and though
by nature man of strong prejudice, it
was always controlled within the bounds
OF reason. For number of years he
was elected to the city council, OF
which he was useful and efficient
member, and at the time of his death
and for sometime previous, he had been
deputy collector of this county.
The funeral will occur tomorrow
afternoon at o'clock, from the NJ. K.
church, South, to the Baptist cemetery.
Friends of the family are respectfully
invited to attend. Hannibal, Mi,souri,

~CALL AccKprEp.-Rey. J. Hawk
ins, who has so fayorably and ably filed
the position of Pastor of the Lutheran
Church of this town, during the last
three years and six months, has received
and accepted call from the Lutheran
Church of Middletown, Nd, and will
enter upon his duties there about the
18th of April next. On Sunday last
he was unanimously elected Pastor OF
the Middletowu Church, receiving the
largest vote cast there during the last
twenty years, which is certainly very
aattering. Mr.. Hawkins has, during,
his ministry, filled several very promi-
nent posts of honor in the Southern
Church. At one time he was Pastor OF
the Lutheran Church at Savannah, Geor-
gia, and also at Newbury, South Carolina.
He served for many years on the Board
of Directors of the Theological Semi
nary and Board Of Trustees Of Walhalla
College, in South Carolina. He was
also President of the Lutheran Synod
of South Carolina, and is now Presi-
deut of the Virginia Synod. During
the three years and six months Of his
ministry here he has always drawn large
audiences, and filled the pulpit with
marked ability, and the congregation
regrets his departure; but at the same
time we must congratulate the Middle
town Church upon receiving the ser
vices of 90 able and Jealous minister.
