SAVE THE HICKoRY.-There is a demand
for good hickory lumber, and it would be
we'll enough for our land owners to save the
best of their hickory forests. A new Eng
land firm has just contracted in this county
for 100000 feet of hickory, Mr.. Samuel X.
lie IN, furnishing 10000 feet of it. Another
party is advertising for white oak lumber for
the Northern market.
1t would be much better if factories were
established in Virginia to work this lumber
into fabrics. instead of shipping it away to
be worked up. and then returned to us to be
sold.

Death of Col. VIM. H. Terrill.

In the Charleston wv. Va.) Free Press OF
Yesterday we find announced the death of a
venerable Virginian, Col. VIM. H. Terrill, a
gentleman who had become known to hosts
of persons in his own and other States of the
Union during his sojourn through many
years past at the Warm Springs of Virginia.
The news of his demise will be received with
regret, therefore, by many scattered far and
wide, who had in visits to the regions OF his
residence come to know him and learned to
appreciate his genial and kindly qualities, as
well as mental force and culture. The Free
| Press says:
''Col. William H. Terrill died in this town,
| at the residence OF his son-in-law. Col. Geo.
A. Porterield, on Wednesday night last, the
2Sth of November. at the advanced age of
more than seVenty-seven years. Col. Ter
rili was a fine old Virginia gentleman-one
OF the olden me-characterzed by urbani-
ty, excellent social qualities, hospitality, lib
erality, of more than ordinary intellectual
force naturally, cultured far beyond the av-
| erage Of men. 10 learn something was the
result of converse with him. He served the
State efficiently in her Assembly, and dor
thirty years or more was an able attorney
for the Commonwealth in the county OF
Bath. His acquaintance was large, his friends
numerous, and his immediate family devo-

This venerable man was devoted to his
| State and her institutions, and in the late
civil war underwent an experience in con-
| nection Herewith which was remarkable and
exceptional. He had three sons: one, Gen.
VIM. Fl. Terrill. was an officer in the United
States regular army, and adhering to that
| side was killed whilst in command of Fed.
eral division at Perryville, KY, liz 1862.
Another son, Gen. James q. Terrill, com
manded Confederate brigade and was kill
ed at the second battle of Cold Harbor. near
Richmond, Va, in 1854. Lieut.. Phillip
| Terrill, the third son, was a member of Ros-
ser's Confederate cavalry division, and was
killed in an engagement near Winchester,
Va, in the fall OF 1864. Yet the old gentle.
man bore up through all the years since the
war with a fortitude that was admirable and
