Mr.. Peter Duffy has sold his interest in
the New Lexington Herald to Mr.. Lewis
Green, of the Hooking Sentinel. This
week issue of the Herald contains the
valedictory and the salutatory of retir-
ing and incoming editor. Mr.. Duffy
expresses himself as satisfied, in the
main, with his editorial experience, and
in mild way reminds those members of
his party Tone horse officials, he terms
Ihem-who were ungrateful for the help
which the paper gave them in their OBJ
scurity, that their ingratitude and op-
position were not enough to Illustrate
its success; that its popularity at the
time Of his retirement was fully as great
a. il was at any other time during iis
existence. Though not given to spread
eagleism, Duffy has, nevertheless, a way
of saying things in a manner at once
forcihle and impressive, and a courage in
defending his positions that is certainly
respectable. 1t would be labor in vain
to undertake to prevail upon Duffy to
sanction; and for this reason, perhaps.
he would fail as an unexceptionable
organ-grinder. We are pleased to note
that he retires from the editorial chair
with no complaints of a serious charac-
ter against any body.
Green steps into Dnffy's place with a
regular old fashioned, long-winded sa-
lutatory-one of the kind that "hegins
with the food and winds up with the
millenium"-wherein he "iays out"
great number Of herculean tasks TO be
performed, and points out how, when.
and by whom they are he perform
ed. But the article is of more ear
nest and serious import than the above
remarks would imply, and in some res
poets, at least, presents matter Of snch
consideration that we propose to pro-
duce It in full for our readers next week,
il having been received too late for this
issue

Mr.. Lou. Scott and family, of Peoria,
nls., are spending the holidays with the
"eld folks" in this place. About the
1st of January Lou. will set out on a
long trip, the objective point being
chihuahua. Mexico, at which place he
contempIntes locating permanently. His
family will join him there in the
Spring. The journey will be wholly
Overland, the monotony whereof will
be slightly relieved, however, by a stage
ride Of seven hundred miles, through an
inhospitable country! Declining health
of himself is the main, reason for this
rather remarkable move of Mr.. Scott,
but it is not the only one. Flattering
business prospects have something to do
with il. We trust he may get through
safely and never have occasion TO regret
the move.
Thomas johnson advertised by hand
bills on Tuesday last that he was in
readiness to sell out his entire stock of
dry-goods at cost, and of such good re-
pute is Toms word that the people un-
hesitatingly believed what he said, and
focked to his connter in great numbers
to avail themselves Of the special in
ducements thus offered by him. Not
withstanding the bad roads and inclem-
ent weather, large quantities of his
goods went of 'like hot cakes" as it
were, and they are still going. Mr..
johnson will retire from business when
his present stock Of goods is exhausted.
But ss to what he purposes doing in the
future, we have not been advised. By
close attention to business, fair dealing.
and a demeanor calculated to render
any one popular, he succeeded in build
ing mp. perhaps the mostextensive, and
desirable dry-goods trade in the place.

The Lynchburg Republican in an
article on the State debt shows tina t
Virginia Is now paying more than five
per cent upon the whole amount Of her
public debt and says:-If we are now
able to carry on the Government, and
pay over five per cent, interest on the
whole debt, at our present rate of tax
alton, and while the property Of the
State is admitted by all to be inadequa-
tely assessed, can there be any necessi-
ty for the clamor that is now being
raised by some in favor of quasi re-
pudiation Are we prepared to bring
dishonor and reproach upon the hither
to unsullied name of Virginia, for a
matter Of less than one per cent on
our public debt? There is no occasion
for raising taxes ct this time. Let us
go on paying all that we can, after
supporting the Government, at the
present rate Of taxation, and in a few
years when business has revived when
our mineral resources have been more
fully developed, and when our taxable
vanes generally have increased, we
cannot only meet our full obligations
for interest annually, but we will also
be able to increase the sinking fund so
rapidly as to extiuguish the debt at no
very distant future"

the deputy marshal was met by a
