and charged with the house-burning. The
indictment was found by the grand jury on
Tuesday and the accused tried on Wednes-
day. Mrs. knight was the chief witness,
and on her clear and very fair testimony the
jury, leaningto mercy, returned a verdict OF

BERRYyILLE, VA, December 90 1877.
Editors Dispatch: We are having de-
lightiul weather. December has borrowed
from May. Christmas is upon us. Fire
works are the order Of the day.
The attitude OF the Dispatch respecting
the public debt is appreciated. Our people
have no sympathy with forcible readjust-
ers. Governor kempcr's message is re-
Garded as an unanswerable document.
Colonel Holidays inaugural will put COM
pleteiy 10 rout the already demoralized
Squadrons OF the public enemy. We pre-
dict grand moral position for the Gov
crnor-clect. The disturbers OF the 'peace
and dignity OF the Commonwealth must
eventually hide their " diminished heads"
The logic OF Kcmpcr has scattered them all
over the plains. They seem to be many.
They make a vain parade Of strength. Hol-
liday's cloquence Uhat true eloqueuce that is
the offspring OF noble mind will cause
the rocks and mountains OF Virginia to fall
upon them. .'Tne places that know them
now will soon know them no more for
ever" XIX.

thought, will be paid in full. II had been
thought il there was an institution on the
continent beyond the reach OF frivolous
freaks OF tickle fortune it was the Bank OF

sumo operations. 1t has been great con-
vcnience ana accommodation to the buSl-
ness public.

tinuance Of your solid shots at the ''repu-
diators." May itbe your happy privilege

The New York Horror.

New York. December 22.-Several insur-
ancc companies have raised the question
that they are not responsible for the de-
strlction by the explosion. The value OF
the property destroyed must DC based upon
its condition at the moment between the en-
plosion and the fire which it occasoned.
No theory has as yet been advanced to ac-
count for the explosion in Barclay street.
The loss by the ire is S413,000; insurance,
1911 500.

Ten lives are now believed to have been
lost by the explosion on Thursday in Bar
clay street, and the list OF wounded reaches
forty-two. Only two bodies have yet been
taken from the ruins, although the search
was kept Friday and Friday night. The
boilers have been reached, and as they are
intact the cause OF the explosion is uncer-
tain. The loss on the property destroyed
