Death of vioe-President Wilson.

w ASHlNGToN, NOV. "a.
At l o'clock this morning q specia
session of the Cabinet was called Al
tho members were in attendance ex-
ccpt Secretary Robson, who is absent
in New York. After a full conference
during which the loss of tho great
statesman was deplorod. Secretary
Fish was delegated, on behalf Of the
Cabinet, to proceed to the capitol and
meet with call session of such soma
tors of tho United States as may bo
in Washington. IIo left stho White
House at 103 o'clock to attend tho
meeting.
EFFECT OF THE NEWS.
The news Of tho death of tho Vice
President, cast gloom over the
whole community. His doath affords
cd the absorbing them for discussion
in all the Executive departments In
respect to his memory, orders wore ut
once issued to drapo all tho public
buldingsin mourning and display at
haf mast, the American flag, all tho
hotels and the District Government
buildings, also united in this tribute.
The death of Vice President Wilson
again raises the question, "Who will
be President Of the Senate" There
can be az the present time but one
conclusion as to It's solution. The
special session of the Senate called in
April last, after an exciting caucus,
selected by majority vote Of one,
Thomas w. Ferry of Michigan, a.
gainst Horny b. Anthony, of Rhode
Island, tho competitor for the place
There has boon no change in the Sem
ators, since all the new membors par
ticipated in the caucus deliberaton
which brought about the nomination
There is no doubt that if tho Senate
at its next meeting, docs not by sub.
scquont action, reverse it's selection of
last April, that Mr.. Ferry will be the
presiding officer Thcro is general
opinion, however, that the Senate will
select n now President pro tom.

Tho Examination.

on the occasion was small, owing,
doubtless to tho inclemency of the
weather, and not to want of interest
on the part of patrons or tho public
generally. Tho proficiency of the
several classes was fully equal, if not
superior to that of former occasions
evinoing a thoroughness in prepsra~
tion on the part of the student and
oarefulness in "drilling" on that of
tho Principal.
The scholars, as shown in this ex~
animation, although, it was nocessa-
rily short, did themselves great credit.
And wo must say in this connection
to overy body, who desires their sons
and daughters wcll educated, that we
know OF no school in our country,
either as q preparatory school, or one
in which students can acquire a good
sound business education, that offors
creator advantages than this.
The Principal is teacherof long
and variod experience in his profess
sion, and, if toaohors, like those in
other professions, are to be "known
by their fruits" he unquestionably
will have TO bo favorably Judged; for
this school now sends forth two young
men to college, who arc prepared to
ontor tho junior class.
Wo could but remark the high
character of tho school. TO SEQ young
men and girls in their teons transat-
ing English sentences with perfect
case into Latin or Crock on the black
board correctly, is feature rarely
seen in our preparatory schools. A
class of girls and boys, examined in
Caesar, acquitted themselves hand
somoly.
Owing to tho late hour of com
moncing tho examination, and the
largo number of select and original
speeches, and compositions, thcro was
not sufficient timo allowed to examine
more than third Of tho classes of the

them to furnish lists of citizens, not
exceeding fifty in each State, who
will have reached the age of 100 by
1876. Such old people will be fur

The CRoPs.-Reports from differ
emit sections of the county are to the
effect that the grass crop will be ex-
tra large. At the present stage of
growth clover looks remarkably well
Corn shows good color and is grow
ing fast. Wheat in many sections
does not promise a half crop. Cause,
the bug. Oats are doing we'll and if
unmolested by the bug will harvest
a large crop. The late cold weather
and rains have killed off the bugs to
a small extent. A number of barley
fields have been plowed up ndplant-
ed in corn. Potatoes are doing well,
and all garden vegetables, although
late.
