~ The President has probably
acted wisely in removing Miss Van
Lew, the postmaster at Richmond,
and appointing in her place a gentle
man who is a native Virginian, and
who is generally acceptable to the
people Of the city named. Miss
Van Lew was appointed postmaster
by President Grant in recognition
of her services as a spy during the
war. 1t is therefore not at all sur
prising that she was unacceptable to
the people of Richmond. 1t would
have been more fitting had President
Grant rewarded her will an Office at
some other point than Richmond.

We are on the war path again, and the
battle ground the same spot where fell
the former brave and efficient Sheriff of
this county-the lamented Henly Over
ton. am unable at present to give you
the origin of the difficulty. 1t was a
hand-to-hand fight of four to two. On
one side Isaac and Job Mustard, on tn e
other James Wilbur, A. Fl. and VIM.
F. Hatfield and James Grimes Isaac
Mustard was shot through the hand and
thigh, Jobe Mustard was cut from ten to
twelve times, and was then carried and
thrown into creek. His wounds are
supposed to be fatal. A. 81. Hatfield
was cut and shot, but not seriously.
William f. Hatfield was cut in several
places, but it is thought his wounds are
not fatal. James Wilburn was killed al
most instantly, the knife penetrating the
heart. James Grimes was wounded in
the hand. Public opinion is with the
Mustards, as it is believed they acted on
the defensive. The difficulty occurred
on Sunday, and at a church.
A little boy by the name of Ford was
killed last week by the falling of tree.

grand banquet at night. The Commits

W The condition Of affairs in
France is attracting great deal of
attention in Washington, and appre-
tensions that the experiment Of a
Republic will again fail there are
entertained by some of the best in
formed public men in Washington,
who have had the hope that the re-
publican form of government would
succeed, and the matter forms a
staple topic in Cabinet circles. The
French residents in Washington are
confident that MacMahon will be de-
feated in his appeal to the people,
and that the Republic will go on
without him as we'll or better than
when he was at the head of affairs.

There is not q single paper of any

one sentiment. ana that is, that we
should accept the lfer Of the bond
holders of sixty cents on the dollar.
In the meantime, we see that the
people, in sole portions of the State,
are holding etiHgs and by resolu-
tons are taking the same position.
Under these circumstances, would it
not be well for Gov. Porter TO con-
vene the Legislature in extra session

position of the bondholders may be

were in attendance at the Great Metro
politan Olymp lad, last Thursday, and
all went home more than pleased. The
show was one of the best that has been

Broncho horses won the admiration of
all, and especially did "Nettle" hold the
audience spell-bound with her wonder
full leaping. Old John Robinson will
have to stir himself to equal it.

else wider and more salutary influence
than the reading of many volumes. In
this case it seems that faith must precede
the means; incredulity of better way
than the old must be overcome before
the former is adopted, to do which,
something more than statement and
narrative, however well authenticated,
in this pursuit of life, the most impor
tant of all, seems to be required. From
such an observation 1t is to be learned
that farming is not mere manual art,
and the farmer, a mere artisan, whose
success depends alone on the exertion
of physical force and energy; that farm
ing, properly understood and practiced,
is a highly intellectual pursuit, requir-
ing in the attainment of its highest and
best results high order of mind, and
well cultured and trained mind; that
the farmer is not mere son Of toll,
precluded by his occupation and situa-
ton from all of the refined and elevated
enjoyments of existence, but that there
is around and about him, above him
and beneath his feet, rich food for
thought, ample fields for Investigation,
and thousand dormant germs of beau
ty moving his hand to culture.
In our father land, the country from
which we derive our laws and the only
parts of our political institutions that
are of much value, these methods are
we'll understood. The English people
understand the noble science of causing
two blades Of grass to grow where but
one grew before, and with this they
have studied the esthetfcs Of anature,
have a happy sense of her beautiful
forms and harmonious combinations,
