STAUNToN SCHOOL GIRLS ABROAD.-Last
week some thirty of the pupils of the Wesleyan
Female Institute, on their way home, stopped
in Richmond and attended the Mozart concert
The estate" thus notices them:

was the entrance OF bevy OF pretty school girls
from one of the StauntOn seminaries who had
stopped in the city on their way home, and ac-
cepted the invitation to attent the Mozart en-

Mr.. A. G. STUART.-At the CONNIE ncement
exercise of the University Of Virginia on last
Tuesday Mr.. A. 6. Stuart;son of Eon. Alex H
H. Stuart, was the recipient of the Society med
al. A reporter in the Richmond Dispatch says :
"NIr. Southall president of the Society, made
the presentation speech of the Society medal to
the best debater of this session. His remarks
were short and to the point, and in presenting
the medal to Mr.. Stuart. felt satisfied that the
ton of medalist this session.
Mr.. A. G. Stuart of Staunton, Va, is the son
of Hon. A. II. H. Stuart. He is q mere youth
In appearance, easy, graceful, and has fine,
rich voice, which will yet be heard beyond the
walls of the public hall of the University.
Mr. Stuart returned thanks for the medal
Reminded the Society OF some of its members
who were great. Inliterature, Mosely and Poe;
in politics. Bailey and TOombs; in religion,
Broadus and Dudley. He then referred to the
way in which the people of the South are living
on the reputation of the dead, while the people
of the North are advancing He appealed to
his fellow-students to make names for them
selves, and closed his little speech by saying:
And now, surrounded by philosophers and
scholars, by statesmen and orators, by the
beauty and chivalry OF the South, must not
detain you longer; for inexperience should not
advise experience, nor should youth speak
where wisdom holds her peace tiett
Sitting near where stood the young orator
was his venerable father, Hon. A. H. H. Stuart.
Though bowed with age and toll thought
could see his eye glisten with the fire OF youth
as he listened to his boy, who will possibly take
the place of the father In the love and affection
of the people Of Virginia."

SAD ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS IN MCGAHEYs-
VILLE-REUBEN BONDS STABBED AND KILL
ED BY ZEBULoN d. GILMER.-About dusk on
last Thursday evening, Reuben Bonds ana
Zebulon D. Gilmer, both citizens of McGaheys-
vile, Rockingham county, the former hfty-odd
and the latter sixty-odd years of age, after nav
ing had some alteration previously on thas
day, happened to meet on the bridge which
crosses the creek Immediately in front OF Mr.
Gilmer's Store, when Bonds made some re-
mark to Gilmer about abusing his (bonds)
wife. and caught hold of him, whereupon Gill
mer stabbed him with pocket knife and ran
to his store Bonds placed his hand upon the
wound, and started up the street, but nao not
gone more than fifty yards when he fell forward,
and then rising started again, but mad not gone
more than few steps farther before ne again
fell, and expired in a few minutes. A post
norton examination developed the fact that
the blade of the knife entered the left side be-
tween the sixth and seventh ribs, severing the
sixth rib, and penetrating the lover part of the
heart. A coroners inquest was held, that rem
dered verdict in accordance with the facts
above stated.
This unfortunate tragedy, happening in the
heart OF that peaceful village, was severe
shock to its citizens. who sympathize deeply
with both families that have been thus sudden
ly and Unexpectedly overwhelmed in distress
and sorrow. Mr. Bonds leaves widow and ten
children.
On Saturday, the funeral sermon, an appro-
pirate and impressive one, was preached in the
NJ. E. Church South, in McGaheysville, by the
Pastor, Rev. i. A. Strother, of the Baltimore
Conference. The attendance was unusually
large, Notwithstanding the busy season,-being
in the midst of harvest,-and many were not
able to get Seats and stood up during the SER
vice. The coffin was decorated with beautiful
wreath of flowers. The remains ofthe deceased
were buried with Masonic ceremonies in the
cemetery i'll McGaheysville, there being present
representatives from the Lodges at Harrison
burg Conrad's Store, and 1McGaheysville. !
On Saturday afternoon, the examining trial
of the accused before Justices Jno. c. Walker,
VIM. D. Maiden and Asher Argepbright was
concluded, and resulted in committing him to
jail to answer an Indictment of the Grand j ury,
the majority of the court refusing to grant bail
! under the belief that it was not legally COM
petent for Justices to grant it, whilst 1t was
competent for the Judge of the County court to
do So Justice Walker did not concur in that
view with the other two justices. The accused
was sent to prison that evening~in the custody
Of Deputy Sheriff Jno. D. Scott.

1.-THE friends of any one of the distin-

proper, person to fill the place, by en-
deavoring to show that some other per-
son is not. Throwing dirt at the WELL
earned reputation of gentlemen whom
Virginia has honored, or may choose
