son GARDNER. late Student OF Christ
Church. With four maps. New York ::
ScRIBNER. ARMSTRONG Il CO.
This book ought to be more interesting
than a novel. It leads right UP to the events
recorded in PEPYs's Diary, and prepares
the reader to understand that spicy chroni-
Gle OF personal and public affairs. The book
before us is but brief abstract Of the his
tory OF the times it covers, but it VIII be
found full OF entertaining matter. For sale

EueryD Day Topics. A Book OF Briefs. BY
j. G. HOLLAND. New York: ScRIBSER,
ARMSTRONG & Co. 1876.
This is really book Of essays. They nrst
appeared in !Scribne''s Magazine. 1t Is
reading of a kind for which we have no
taste whatever. Nevertheless there is a de-
mand for such books. Many people Will
read none but short articles. They like
frequent change OF subject, and enjoy the
didsctic remarks OF men who are perhaps
but little better qualified than themselves to
act the part OF instructors.

The District Canvass.

Mr.. Goode met Mr.. Segar at Jerusalem.
We fear that he will never meet him again.
The letter to William H. i. Gusts is an
epistolarv production which Mr.. Segar had
entirely forgotten when he sought and ac-
certed the Republican nomination. We
understand that MI. Segar does not recol-
lect having written such letter, and we
give him credit for sincerity in his state
ment to that effect. But, nevertheless, the
letter was written by him, rs can be amply
proven by the best OF witnesses.
Its expressions upon universal suffrage,
and especially upon negro suffrage, could
not have been stronger or more emphatic
and more distasteful to the negroes, had he
deliberately set himself to arouse and lnfu-
rate them. And his declarations about
carpet .baggers" and {. scalawags must
be very grateful to the gentlemen OF either
class who laid aside their mutual animosl-
ties and preiudices to unite on man who,
according to this letter, has most inehable
loathing for both.
Mr.. Segar may as well withdraw from the
contest and let his party put on another
horse. This one is already d1stanced and
out OF the race.
Who is to be the neXts Trot him out and
let us know whether he is home-stock or
foreign birth. 1t matters little to uS-John
Goode has made the first heat, without a
second, and it begins to look now as if he
is going to walk over the track.
II Mr.. Segar continues in the field
Goodies majority will be nearer 10000 than
5000, and his Withdrawal now will be
equivalent to surrender Of the campaign
without struggle.
II their chosen leader has come so early
to grief, how long will the second choice
stand up against adverse fortune?
Mr.. Segar has one consolation, however,
he has realized his aspiration OF " catching
Goode." -NorfolE Rirginian.

TEE FOOLISH FANATICS. Borrowing lam
guage which Republican paper applies I'M
Justly and falsely to the Democrats, we may
sayof the northern fanatics who brought on
the late war, and whose cXertions have for
the last fifteen years had a baleful influence
upon the fortunes Of our country, that
Hunder cover Of so-called religion they
have outraged every law, human and divine,
which has given to States perpetuity and
vitality; they have encouraged venality in
public and hypocrisy in private; they have
laid axe to the root Of the Constitution they
have crippled the energies Of a growing re-
public; they have imported the vice and the
scum Of the Old World, and with it pol
sluted the fountain Of justice; they have
laughed at everything sacred and tender,
and flooded the land with filth and corrup-
tion.' Evidently the picture was taken for
the Republican party.

OF the Cumberland and Pennsylvania Rall-
road Company's bridge went with it, also q
span of the county bridges as well. as the
bridge from Westernport to Hendrlckson,s
Island. The lower portion OF the Town was
completely inundated. Women and children
ran about partly clad, not knowing what to
do, all fleeing to the mountains. rEhe water
carried away the food-gate. OF Livingstone
mill, at Bloomington, and with it some III,
teen thousand logs. The loss IS estimated
at from $4,000 to 10000 The immense
force OF water with floating timber broke
the boom at Davis's mill above our town,
also the embankment at their basin, winch
was filled with logs. The Messrs. Davis had
some twenty thousand logs in the river, all
Of which passed by, together with some
hundred thousand feet OF lumber: Their
loss will not be less than $4,000. The loss
