MIDDLE RIVER. May 22d. 1876.

MIDDLE KIVER, May 22d, 1915.
Messrs. Editors Thinking that you wonld
like to hear from this part Of the good old
county, would say that on yesterday we had
Il very severe hailstorm and rain. The ground
was nearly white with hail, but it did not do
much damage to the growing crop. Last
night we had another very heavy rain, and
about IL O'Clock as young man was retarn-
ing home, his attention was drawn to a great
blaze in the heavens, in the direction of
Bridgewater. 1t is supposed that the light
ming struck and consumed some building in
the lower part OF the county. A. W. L.
THE light seen by the young man was
doubtless the burning barn Of II. II. Wynand,
near Bridgewater, which was struck by light
ming and consumed on Sunday night. EDS

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY, VA,
May 18th, 1876.
lNessrs Editors On last Tuesday, the 10th,
serious accident occurred to Rev. John NJ.
P. Atkinson, d. D., President of Hampden
Sidney College.
The DR.. was driving spirited horse of his,
which has generally been regarded as safe. but
becoming frightened at some object near the
road, ran off. breaking tile buggy to pieces and
throwing his driver so violently ON the hand
rocks near by as to leave him in q state Of in
seEsibity. He was discovered by Joseph
Smith. a student Of the College, and found to
lave sustained serious injuries about the head,
and to have broken his leg in such q manner
as to necesSitate amputaton. He has the heart
felt sympathy Of his friends and Of all the
students during this trial, and with the neces-
sary care we hope that he will soon be entirely
restored. Respectfully,

The Law Of the Case.

We have given very little attention to the stir
the primary leaders have made about the city
boundaries, nor have we regarded as important
the self-imposed labor that has drawn different
corporation and ward lines to those heretofore
recognized. No extra-judcial or extra-official
act can be recognized in determining u legal
point, and inasmuch as the city authorities
have not taken steps to run afresh the bound
aries Of the city, we cannot see the necessity
of attaching the least significance to the SER
vices of the volunteer engineers who have de-
ienated new boundaries.
The Code OF Virginia on page 452, acts of
'74-'75, provides that s'the Common Council
or Board Of Trustee of each city and town,
having more than five thousand Inhabitants,
shall appoint for each ward as many voting
places or precincts as they may deem neces-
sary, and shall prescribe and cause to be
published the boundaries of such voting places
or precincts, and no voter shall cast his ballot
save at the voting place Of the precinct where
he lives"
1t will be observed that it is the duty of the
City Council to have the precinct boundaries
located, and the oficol,s interlneddling of
partizan zealots, could hardly be taken as a
proper substitute for the action of legal body.
We understand that lines have been run,
defining the corporate limits, by some
gentlemen upon their own motion, in the hope
of cutting off the Votes of persons who
have heretofore been recognized as legal voters
Whose names are on the registration books,
and who have paid their assessed corporation
taxes. We would suppose that the fact OF being
ON the Registrars book, and having befol c
voted, and having the tax tickets as evidence
of their citizenship in the corporation, would
be, at least. prinaa .facie testimony in favor
of their right to vote, and much stronger reason
why they should vote, than the volunteer lines
run in the interest of the party, without proper
authority, would be why they should not vote.
But, if a question arises i'll respect to them, it
will be for the constituted authorities to decide
t. and not the curb-stone volunteers.
