Mr.. PATRONS MARRIAGE-DR. TYING Re-
NEWS 1T so CIT WILL HoI.D."-Io the Ed
tor of the Tribune: Sir,-I notice that
several Of your contemporaries, in speaking
of Mr.. Parton's marriage, have advised him
and his wife to bring all over again and get
themselves married in some State in which
they can be legally married. Will you per-
NIT me to state that that is exactly what
they did just as soon Us they discovered that,
according to the laws of Massachusetts,,
their marriage was illegal? do not remem-
Der the exact date, but it is certainly over
two months since they were married in this
city by the Rev. DR.. Stephen Fl. Tying, Sr.,
Of st. Georges church; and, as the venera-
BILE clergyman remarked Of the ceremony at
the time, "This will hold" H.

SUIc1DE.-Sunday, In Danville, Mr.. Lo-
renzo w. Frazier committed suicide. Mr..
Frazier was, we believe, 4 native Of Rich
mond, but was formerly resident of this
city for several years, being manager Of the
tobacco factory of Major John II. Flood.
He was young man OF quiet, unobtrusive
manners and great kindness Of heart From
o wound in the head resolved during the
war his mind was at times considerably
affected. He had previously made one or
more attempts to take his own life, and it is
supposed that this last, and unfortunately
successful, effort in that line occurred in q
moment of mental alteration. -Lynchburg

SCHOOL HOLIDAYS IN THE CoUNTY.-Some
years ago question arose as to what days
were illegal holidays for schools in the
county. The Superintendent Of Public
Instruction being appealed to, decided that
such days as were generally kept by the
people Of the ncighborhood could be oil
lowed, but if teachers gave other days they
could not be paid for them. Under this
ruling the district boards in Alexandria
county would order holidays, and yet, un-
der orders Of the county superintendent had
to dock the pay Of the teachers. The fol-
lowing letter, just received by the Superin-
tendent, however, sets things to rights:
"RIcHMoND, April 90, 1876.
ar. L. Carne, Esq, Alexandria, Va:
"Dear Sir,-The matter Of holiday have
practically left to the discretion Of the
school-boards, finding that it is impossible
to make regulation that will cover all
cases. School-boards being economical
bodies, there is no danger of their giving q
teacher too much pay. Very truly yours,
"W. III. RUFFNER,
Superintendent Public Instruction"

such gentlemen were quite too much en-
