EXHIBITION OF THE BAPTisT SUNDAY
SCHOOL last Thursday and Friday nights,
ths members of the Baptist Sunday School gave
exhibitions at the church, which were entirely
novel and very attractive. After the singing of
Il hymn and prayer by DR.. Manly, seventeen
young ladies, all robed in white, and many
crowned with beautiful wreaths, performed
a kind of cantaua, entitled ''Tle Crown of
Life" In the center Of the pulpit was suspend
ed large crown, and as each of the young la
dies placed in it Il small boquet, they recited a
verse from the Bible. The last five contributed
each large printed letter, which being ar
ranged under the crown, formed the word
"Jesus.'' ''All hail the power Of Jesus name, :"
was then sung.
The next scene was the "Chrstian Graces, -
and was performed somewhat similarly to The
first. The last scene was 'sWelcome, 'acted with
great credit by the younger members of the
school. After the Bible Scenes, came Magic
Lantern pictures, many of them portraying the
scenes of sacred history, and all OF them beau-
tiful DR.. Manly gave briefly the prominent
incidents connected with each picture, Mr.. w.
D. Gambler was stage manager of the occasion
aud Mr.. w. O. Thomas announced the Diff
fcrent parts of the performance. Both of them
seemed perfectly at home in the business.

CIV of Mr.. Eyaf1s had not been discovered ocfol
he refused to act Will. the Central Cor,niittee
| He was regarded AZ & very nice and prope
person. with his whole record laid bare, Unit
it was asccrtained fiat he would not perrin
himself to become the supple Instrument n
the hands of the self-comstituted leaders OF inc
Conservative party. He was placed on the
Central Committee as one OF the worthy o.
worthless, and assigned lofty meme III tlle
esteem of the immaculates, but, IKE tne Ia
bled apples OF the dead seas, his tar fame
crumbled into ashes, wlenhis Judgment con-
| flicted with the edicts of those mighty Hono'
clasta of reputation.
The speaker read from letter written 70
the New York Tribune, by Col. John r. Pop
pom, of Richmond, in which the Republican
party of Virginia was defined as being consti-
ted of from 10000 to 100000 blacks, and be-
tween 5000 and 10000 whites, the greater
part of the latter being office hodcrs-to show
o what the voters of Staunton would commi
themselves, by casting their ballots against
the nominees OF the primary election. Now,
doesn't Col. Skinner know that there are men
LII JOWH WIN SCCOI.u w iiOilC Az POI
ty fealty, and whose whole political career
has been in consondnce with the Conservative
organization, who will vote against the pomi-
nees of the primary? And does he suppose
that such men will allow anybody to read
them out of their party, and declare them
Republicans, simply because they refuse to
sanction such higFl-handel usurpation of au-
thority, as has. been assumed by Col. Skinner
and those whom he essays to champion? If
he does indulge such belief, he will, in all
probability, discover The error before ''many
moons shall rise and wane."
In conclusion, the speaker protested that
such was his allegiance to party, that if his
own brother opposed the regularly elected
nominee, and that nominee was his personal
enemy, he would not hesitate to lend his vote
and influence to the success of
the party ticket. Perhaps, if Col. Skinner
had brother, he might pursue the line of
policy proclaimed in his speech, but has he al
ways lent his vote and influence to the candi-
dates chosen by Conservatives conventions ?
Did he support John L. Harris, the unani-
mously elected nominee of the Harrisonburg
convention i'll 1869, or did he use his vote ard
influence in the interest of Corbin B. Reynolds,
the independent candidate? and in the last
fall campaign, when John N. Opie was the
first choice of the convention, and the only
man nominated on the first ballot, did he lend
his influence to shat gentleman in the election
before the people, or did he advise his friends
to repudiate the action of the convention, and
sustain Mr.. Stuart. declaring the whole pro-
ceedings to have been outrageous?
At the conclusion of Col. SINNERS address,
Mr.. Patrick moved that the meeting adjourn
to meet at the polls on Friday tomorrow.

thieves have been depredating on the chicken
coops in the neighborhood of Mr.. Lewis Def
enbaugh, about three miles from the city, and
on Friday night last, Mr.. D. set a rifle at his
coop arranged SO as to discharge as the door
was opened. About one o'clock IN the morn
ing the report of the gun was heard. and the
gentlemen in the house going out, found a col
ored man near the coop badly wounded i'll the
abdomen. Six or seven chickens were near
him, which had been stolen from the neighbor-
hood. The wounded man was taken into the
house and kept until Saturday morning, whes,

it was beyond the power of medical skill to
save him, and he died about IL O'Clock. His
name was VIM. Houston. He was one OF the
party accused of breaking into the store-room
of Mr.. Carmody several weeks ago. Houston
lived about a mile east of town. lie refused to
disclose the names of his comrades, but it was
known that there were two or more with him
at tie time of the fatal occurrence, as the gen
tlemen from the house heard voices in the yard
as they came out. He made several statements
when questioned upon the subject, but they
were contradictory and IN no way to be relied
OH. Finally, he declined outright to give the
names of those engaged with him.
On Saturday evening an inquest was held be-
fore e. NJ. Cushing, Coroner Of the county.
The following were the Jury David r. Back
burn, A. Ii. Price, G.. w. Peace, John A.
Fauver, J. W. Cease and Jos. B. Woodward.
After hearing the testimony CT witnesses,

'.The deceased came to his death on the
night Of the 2Sth of April, 1876, upon the prem
ises of Lewis DefenbaIgfi, Of this county,
whilst deceased was attempting to commit !.
known felony, from Il gun-shots which had
been stied in the chicken coop OF said Defeil-
baugh, for the purpose of protecting his prop
erty, and that the firing Of the gun was caused
by deceased's own hands i'll attempting to open
