Editors Dispatch: Last week I saw a

sufferers from cows going at large over our
city. I regret they did not put their names
to the card, and hope they will republish
with names. have long been sufferer
from the same nuisance, but did not expect
to 60 into the papers about 1t so soon; but
to-day, while my little daughter was play
ing on the grass beside my fence, she was
attacked by vicious COW, caught on the
cows horns, and thrown over her bead.
Fortunately the child's clothing was strong
and protected her from being badly g0red,
escaping with torn clothes and bad bruise
about four inches long across her stomach.
Now, Messrs. Editors, can't something be
done? respectfully call on all the coun-
cilmen from Clay Ward, in both branches OF
the Council, to take action on this subject;
for the lives OF our children are in danger.

commencement Week at Richmond
- College.

College.
Located in our midst, and Offering to our
people the advantages OF a tirst-cass college,
the people of Richmond should feel the
liveliest interest in all that pertains to this
noble institution, and it is gratifying to
note that there has been from year TO year
more marked manifestations OF interest in
its conlmencementS.
The Second Baptist church was crowded
on Sunday night with congregation Of
more than ordinary intelligence, assembled
to hear the
ANNUAL SERMON BEFORE THE COLLEGE MIS-
sIoNyART SOCIETY,
which was preached by Rev. T. S. Dunna-
way, D. D.. OF Fredericksburg. The SER
mon. while chaste in diction and iervid in
delivery, exhibited wide reading and that
thorough mental discipline and logical con-
nection which comes from the former pro-
fession OF the distinguished preacher
namely, the law. Taking oath. Matthew,
xiv, as his text. the speaker defined some
OF the terms used, and made the gospel OF
the kingdom Synonymous with the atoning
sacrifice OF Jesus Christ. A crucitied SN-
viour is the central idea OF the gospel, and
to eliminate it is TO rob it OF its Significance
and value. The speaker dedUced as his
theme, The Gospel. the One Want Of the
Vorld-and considered it:
I. In the lowest view, on the hypothesis
OF this life as affecting merely temporal i'll
terests. From this standpoint, with appo-
site illustration and cogent argument, he
showed that Christianity was the great re-
finer and educator and civilizer; the best
security OF life and liberty, and the surcSt
guaranty OF national prosperity and great
ness. The best preventive, antidote, OF
Communism, is the gospel. Civilization,
culture, laws, government, commerce, man.
ufactures, agriculture, are more potentially
affected by the gospel than by diplomacy
and wars.
II. Rising to higher plane, the need and
benefit OF the gospel as providing 4 great
salvation for immortal but sinful man was
discussed with much power and eloquence.
The adaptation OF the gospel in telling OF
sins and Saviour, OF guilt and atonenent,
Of the sou's infinite worth and its salvation.
was discussed with the speakers best
thoughts.
III. How the needs OF the nations should
be supplied and the obligation upon Chris
tians OF the present day occupied the latter
part of a mastery discourse, which was
listened to with deep interest by the large
and intelligent audience.
A collection was then taken il behalf OF
the Society.
