IL MEMoRrAM-Miss Blanche Pin
nell, most cstimablo young lady,
well known in our community, at Nor
gantown, and elsewhere, died at the
residence, in this place, Of DR.. A. A.
Jimcson, her grandchildren Saturday,
June goth, 1878, aged Is years,
month and Is days. Although it was
was well known that sic had been
quite i'll for about two weeks, her
friends in the community. Of whom
there are many, entertained no fears
of fatal results; hence, the announce
ment of her death was quite unexpcct-
ed, and the most sincere sorrow was
manifested, universally.
The funeral occurred from Dr. Jimc-
sons residence, on Monday last, com
mencing at 0 o'clock A. 81. Rev, G. A.
Gibbons, of the p f. Church, oficiat-
ed, assisted by Rev. White, of the NJ.
+. Church.
The ceremonies were most impress
sive and affecting throughout. At
the conclusion of the exercises at the
house, the friends and sympathizing
neighbors repaired to private Gene
terry, the property of Dir. +. Hamilton
others, were the last sad rites were
performed, and the mortal remains Of
the once lovely, accomplished, affec-
ton Blanche Pinnell, were consigned
to the earth-in the language of the
Episcopal ritual, "Earth to earth, dust
to dust, ashes to ashes
There was an escort of eight young
gentleman, as regular pail bearers,
and in addition, a company of four
teen young ladies, who accompanied
the remains to the grave. The young
ladies each wore floral badge, and
at the conclusion of the burial service
the badges were placed upon the cas-
ket, and with their loved friend con-
signed to the grave. Resting upon
the casket, also, were several floral Of
ferings-the contributions of the
young ladies-among them tablet,
comprising the letters of Miss Pin
ne,rs first name, Blanche in white
flowers.
The sadness attending the death OF
this highly esteemed young lady is re-
cognized by sympathizing public,
and the bereaved family certainly re-
ceivethe most sincere coincidence from
many friends. - Faigptont Intye1.

PETTY THIEVES still operate about

PETTY THIEVES still operate about
Morgantown with impunity. Very
seldom do they rest more than night
or two. The latast raid Made by
them was on Tuesday night, when
they made a descent upon the turkey
roost of Miss Rebecca Evans, and
took the entire flock of eight fine
young turkeys. 1t is certainly cxas
perating to robbed and annoyed in
the manner that Morgantown people
are. 1t is very strange that for years
such practices can be prosecuted and
the parties still escape. They may
rest assured that they will yet be de-
tected, and then most assuredly will
the wrath of a long suffering and out
ragged community be visited upon
them.

WHAT are known as bee trees must
be unusually numerous this summer,
as we have heard of a number being
found and unaccountable quantities
of honey taken. The biggest honey
bonanza that we have heard of was
found in Clay District by John f.
Price and others some time since.
\ white oak tree, about three feet in
diameter, was cut down and found to
contain a mass OF pure delicious
honey about ten feet long and two
feet in diameter. There were several
washing tubs and numerous buckets
full of honey taken, which must have
aggregated several hundred pounds

The BANQUET given at the AlHmni
Reception at the University, Com
mencement week, is still fresh in the
minds of many of those who attend
ed. The cuisine department, under
the superintendance of Mrs. J. X.
DUR, was exquisite in everything.
The very sight of the elegant cakes,
ices, fruits, &C., was refreshing, and
the expedition with which the hun
cry throng was fed by the active and
considerable waiter girls added much
to the enjoyment of the occasion.
Mrs. Durr is an adept in all such
matters as is evidenced by the popu-
larity of that department Of Durr's

Fudge!
Judge Riyes's Opinion.

Judge RIvEs has furnished to the Char
lottesyille Chronicle copy Qor epitomizing)
OF his opinion in the Patrck-county cases.
The epitome indicates that the opinion is
puerile. He seems really to believe that
every negro criminal who may be arraigned
in any one OF the thousand State courts in
the United States has a right to have his
case transferred to the Circuit Court Of the
United States if there is no negro on the
jury which tries him. One negro would
answer, we suppose. Judge RIVEs will
have as much criminal business as he can
attend to. There are not less than hum
dred negroes now awaiting trial in bis dis
trict, we suppose. But the decision is too
absurd for comment. If Uncle Sam can stand
the expense, we can stand the folly, OF it.
