At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the

memorial and resolutions were adopted in
honor of HENRY CLAY Prison, deceased. a mem,
Der of said Board.
MEMORIAL.
Since our last meeting death has been in our
midst, and has done his work only too success
fully HENRY CLAY Prison, a member of orr
Board, is no morel He was cut down by the
ruthless archer in the prime of life and in the
midst Of his greatest usefulness. He was elect
ed at the annual meeting of the stockholders Of
the e. A. NJ. Insurance Company in May last as
one of the Directors of said Company, and be-
fore be had served one short year in that cana.
city, he was called from labor to reward Thus
we are reminded of the uncertainty of human
life and the necessity of being always ready. for
we toe are exposed to the unerring aim of him
who is no respecter of persons, but strikes down
the old and young alike. Mr.. Prison died on
the first day of December last at the age of 80
years, and on the second his mortal remains
were committed to the dust and his spirit to the
God who gave it. He member of the
Presbyterian church, and beloved by all who
knew him, and while we mourn his loss, we
are comforted by the assurance that our loss is
his eternal gain.
This is the first time in the history of cur
Company that we have been called upon to
mourn the loss Of one of our Directors, and in
this case death has chosen a shining mark.
Mr. Prison was a man of sound Judgment, eau
tious prudence in action, wise IN council, and
answering in devotion to right
In view of the above facts, the Board unaui-
mously resolved
First That in the death of HENRY CLAY PHI
SON the G. A. NJ. Insurance Company has lost a

PAY OF THE SCHOOL TEACHERs.-It
was stated at the Council meeting, Tues
day night, by Maj. Bell, that eight of the
female teachers in the public schools had
not been paid since November, and in one
case he had had tax collected and the
teachers salary paid. He added the dis
graceful fact that these teachers often suf-
fered a shave of from ten to fifteen per cent
on the scrip paid them. This state of af-
fairs Mr.. Abby said, and said truly, had
been brought about by the Council post
poning the collection of the taxes. Mr..
Witt said the fact was that the taxes laid
were not collected. Mr.. Fultz asked why
they were not collected-why hadn't the
Council forced the officer to collect or re-
turn them as delinquent, and let the pay
ment be enforced. 1t strikes us that if
these female teachers had votes, and were
pretty active ward politicians, they would
have no trouble about their pay. A dozen
of them, with the brains they have,
and a little activity, would turn the
Council out, if they were in politics.

SOCIETY NOTFs.-A Staunton gentle
man writing to lady in Winchester, who
spent a short time in Staunton, in 1865,
was trying to tell her who was ut the 8" Fes-
tival of all Nations" that she knew. and
was surprised to find that there were not a
half dozen ladies of that brilliant array,
who were in society when she was here,
and Of that half dozen all had changed
their names since she was here. "Darlingx
| am growing DID,"
The grown up German Club, it is ru-
mored, are to give a Leap Year ball, next
week. That given tonight is by a young
er club.
A few days ago proposition was receiy-
ed in StauntOn, from a number of ladies'
and gentlemen of Winchester society, who
had just given an entertainment, consist
ing Of a drama, tableaux. music, &C., in
that town, for the benefit Of the Lee Maui
solemn, to come to this city and repeat it
for the same object. A prominent gentle
man wrote in reply that Staunton had been
badly overdone with amusements this win
ter, and though known to be meritorious,
the entertainment would hardly be extern
siveIy patronized. 1t is supposed that the
visitation has been averted.
Young Staunton is all excitement, ow-
ing to the Leap year hop that takes place
tonight at "Kalorama," under the man.
agement of the female members of the ST.
B. To- club. 1t promises to be a success,
and should the night prove inclement the
fair ones will have an opportunity of know
ing how tits themselves as regards hacks,
umbrellas, etc. "Wall flowers" of the
male species, promise to be abundant.
On dit that two of our prominent society
men propose leading a couple of Staunton s
fairest daughters to the altar, early in the
spring.
An eminent minister, who knows where
of he speaks, pronounces one of our beaux
to be extremely similar, in appearance, to
Moody, the great revivalist.
The curiosity Of our young men was ex-
cited to the highest pitch on Monday even
ing, at noticing knots of girls gathered on
the different corners of Main ST., discuss
lug SOul0 quoouIou Ill Ul1C uIOSU oAClGou mbH-
ner, and, as they had usurped the preroga-
tive of the males, in holding temporary
possession of the aforesaid corners, it Was
| evident, being Leap year, that they meant
business. The cause of these assemblages
soon TRANSFERRED, as each girl was strictly
enjoined to keep the matter quiet for few
days. A youth, elated with the news or
some other stimulant, button-hoIed us, and
had to tell US all about'it. The girls of the
"Cotillion Club' had determined, by a
unanimous vote, to give full-dress recep-
ton on Thursday, the Oath inst, which
is to outshine anything of the kind eyer
seen in Staunton. From our knowledge
of the committee having the affair in hand
we predict success in every respect.

dred converts, all but five lapsed, in anoth-
er (that of Rev. Mr.. Morrison), the list of
communicates was reduced from four
hundred to two hundred and fifty, and in
all the churches, whose rolls were purged,
the result was something similar.
