RESIGNED.-Rev. D. b. Ewing, pastor of
Hebron church congregation, has resigned his
charge. The cause was the inadequacy of SAX
ary. The amount Of $500 had heretofore been
paid, and recently the congregation concluded
they could not pay oyer $50. Dr. Ewing has
a large family, and the amount named is not
sufficient to purchase the ordinary comforts of
life. DR.. Ewing is known as an earnest and
successful preacher Of the Gospel. and his sew
arsnee of his pastoral relations, and probable
removal from the county, will be source Of
regret to his many friends here and elsewhere.
THE JENNINGS ESTATE: 1t is said that
the English heirs to this estate, WHICH amounts
TO four hundred millions will make i PROPOSE
ton to the Virginia claimants to compromise
wtt'tlie latter, by allowing them forty lsllions
if they will. relinqush all claims. In the
meantime. more new claimants will spring up
in Virginia. and it is highly probable that,
should the proposition of the English heirs be
accepted, there will be much litigation among
tho Virginans AS to who are the real heirs
There is family in Siaunton, who are said to
be directly descended from the Jennings, TO
whom this immense property belanged, and
who would be claimants to a portion OF the es-
tate.

cases. can receive all the recent and durable as
they occur. Therefore. hope this fact will
be understood and appreciated-that a mans
means, has no bearing upon his reception here,
but each case stands alone upon its individual
merits as to durability; and would here call
attention to the following figures as corrobora-
tive OF the above statement. Within the past
year we have received applications from TWEEN
ty-fnur pay patients. OF these, fifteen have been
rejected and nine admitted. OF the latter,
six have already been discharged and three are
still with lis. These fifteen rejected pay pa
sients would have been, in all probability, resi-
dents here for some years, and would have in
creased the annual revenue of the Asylum by
81, 500 ach year that they remained (itsthe rate
Of $500 each per annum). The last Of this
class that was rejected was taken to Maryland,
and his physician remarked to me that he
thought it bad policy for the State to send moll-
ey out OF its borders in this way. The expenses
CT patients leaving the State will average $500
each per annum, and thus some idea may be
formed of the amount lost each year, which
might be expended among our own people, to
say nothing OF the increased lnEappiness occa

compelled to send their loved ones among

from shcritfs and iailors, and petitions signed

ty Court OF Craig, all calling attention to the
deplorable condition OF the insane confined in
their respective jails. 1t is truly distressing,
aud appeals, in trumpet tones, to our authoFi-
ties for relief. Far be IL from me to l,ndel,ate
their claims, but would not have you to forget
the claims also OF those families who will not
consent to se..d their friends to Jail, and espe
cially OF those who are in moderate circumstall-
ces. Ii you wish to see suffering and distress
