The grange is similar to a tree and like it,
it needs pruning. Dead branches 1t left on
the tree disfigure its beauty and hinder It's
growth. In like manner the weak and tar
,dy MEMBERSHIP dead branches if left in the
grange will not only distigure it and hurt its
growth, but will in time bring decay upon
fhe whole tree. 1t Is better to cut them
away. Do not allow them to destroy the
work, the result of which you have labored
SO earnestly TO produce. If a member has
not the good of the grange ct heart, his
place is not in It. Some oranges have borne
such burdens too long. They haye carried
them until they are broken down, and there
is now but the broken trunk to be seen
where the strong and beautiful tree once
%stood-the result of not pruning. But
where pruning has been praeticed, the re-
suit is, that more interest is manifested, new
life seems to have been infused into the
members, and, they are strong tor the work.
-Dnigo Rurat.

The grange offers to the farmers the most
practicable means of lettering their condi-
ton; and while it confines its membership
strictly to the agricultural class, it appeals
powerfully to the general public for sympa-
thy and encouragement.

The Grange 4%yas founded upon the wants
Of the h%usbandmen of this nation, and its
principles are firmly iinbued in the hearts of
Atlantic to the Pacific, oceans. 1t is a TACT,
patent to the minds of all we'll informed
men, that the Grange.is one of the best ed
%ucators in the land, holding Its thousands of
schools every W weeks. Thousands of
its members are now taking and reading
good agricultural papers, who, prior to the
organization of the Grange, never read pa
pers OF any kind, and many of the members,
by meeting and speaking in the Grange,
have become good speakers, who would do
credit to the halls of Congress.

Do. a little missionary work outside the
grange. The grange must grow by taking
IN members from outside, and we cannot ex-
pect persons to join unless they have an in
telligent idea of what the grange IS, and the
best way to give them this intelligent idea is
to get them to read a good grange paper.

THE members of the Grange are begin
ming to understand that there is something
more than dollars and cents to accrue from
the Grange. They are beginning to talk OF
subjects concerning the farm. They are
beginning to study their calling, and are
trying to profit by the experience of, each.
other. Already they have learned some
good lessons, and we are encouraged to be-
.lieve that seeds are being sown at every
meeting which will bring back fruit an hum

Communicated
Captaiu II. e. Frayser.

AS the election of Superintendent Of Pub
lie Printing will occur on Wednesday next
I wish to write brief communication in
behalf Of the gentleman whose name ap-
pears at the head Of this article. Captain
Frayser is native Of New Kent county,
and was mustered into the Confederate SER
Vice in the spring OF 1861, and belonged to
Company F, Third Virginia cavalry, and
continued with it until May, 1862, when he
was detailed for special duty ut General j.
E. B. Stuart's headquarters.
He was promoted from the ranks to cap
taincy on the field at the second battle Of
Manassas for gallantry by a recommends
tion from General Stuart to General George
W. Randolph (then Secretary Of War;, and
was assigned to duty on the staff OF the
brave and chivalrous Stuart, where he re-
NAMED until that officer fell at Yellow Tav-
ern, on the 18th OF May, 1864, while defend
inc this city. In the memorable raid OF
Stuart in rear Of McClellan's army,
iust before the battles around Rich
mond, Stuart, in his official report,
giving an account Of this expedition, pub
lished on the 18th day Of August, 1852, pays
a high mpliment to this officer, and also
in subsequent official reports. AS an net of
retaliation he was in August, 1864, sent by
the United States Government from Fort
oner, with large number Of officers, among
them Colonel A. Fulkerson and Captain w.
&. Mum, now in the State Senate, and
placed on Morris's Island, near Charleston,
s. c., and there he was retaliated on for the
alleged il-treatment OF Federal soldiers con-
fined at Andersonvilles At the close OF the
war Captain Frayser connected himself
with the press OF this city, and was with
the Dispatch for several years, and is
highly endorsed by that journal. Subse-
quently he was made business-manage Of
the Whig, and remained with that news
paper until last October; which last paper
also endorses him. He is now before the
General Assembly as candidate for Super
intendent of Public Printing, and is emf
nently qualified for the place he seeks, and
we trust it will be the pleasure of that body
to elect him, as he comes up fully to every
requirement as to qualifications under the
law. Notwithstanding he is not q practical
printer, he is sufficiently familiar with all
the details OF the Office to discharge every
duty OF it satisfactorily to the public. AS
to his eligibility, that question is settled by
the printed opinions OF number Of the
best lawyers in Virginia. RICHMOND.

/ How TO REGISTER A LETTER.-Whe hen you
wish to have letter registered at the post
office for transmission through the mails it
should be presented for registration sealed
as any other letter; but in addition to the
stamp or stamps affixed to 1t for the prepay
ment OF postage (three cents for each bali
ounce or fraction thereof), it must have also
ten-cent stamp for its equivalent in other
postage-stamps)-t registry fee. All OF
these stamps mustibe placed on the letter
before it is presented for registration. The
stamps can be obtained at the stamp-win-
dow in the post-office, and not at the desk
Of the registering clerk. The only other re-
aufremeDt is that the name and post-oftice
address Of the. sender shall be printed or
written on; the face OF the envelope. The
letter Is then Seady for registration. When
registered the sender forthwith receives
receipt for the letter, which he retains In
his possession. The letter is forwarded to
its destination in an official sealed envelope
made for the purpose. AS it passes from
hand to hand receipt is given at each
transfer until it reaches the person for
whom it is intended, who signs receipt
for it, which is transmitted to the sender OF
the letter. This explanation shows both
the simplicity Of the process OF registration
and the security OF transmission, and may
be found worthy OF preservation for refer
ence by all not familiar with the system
who may expect to use it at any time here

REApPoRTIONMENT.- Joint Committee
on Reapportionment, General Bradley T.
johnson chairman, will meet again tenor
row (Tuesday) evening, when 1t Is expected
it will so far complete Its labors as to report
bill for the consideration OF the General AS
sembly. The committee adopts as basis OF
respportionment the last census Q875) OF the
school population of the cities and counties
of the State, which embraces all children be-
tween the ages Of five and twentV-one years
These results are multiplied by three to as
certain the true population and aggregate
population in the State OF 1,44S,367; thus
providing senator to each 5000. and a
delegate to each Ia, ,4S3 OF population. The
next General Assembly, should the work
of the committee be adopted, will consist
OF forty senators and one hundred delegates,
the maximum under the constitutional

ber, 1876; reduction of three senators and
thirty-three delegates.
The projet of the committee apportions
eleven delegates to each congressional dis
trict OF the State, except the ninth, which
will have Twelve.
Many senators and delegates have ap-
peared before the committee in the interest
OF their respective districts, and now,
with an exception here and there, the re-
suit is generally conceded to be equitable.
Tomorrow evening the senatorial dis
tricts will be defined and the report OF the
committee prepared.

TIE TOBACCO TRADE.-Business was un-
usually dull at the Tobacco Exchange for
the past week. Large sales Of loose were
reported at the warehouses. The agitation
Of the tobacco-tax is undoubtedly having a
depressing effect on the trade. Many think
that ii the drawback clause was at once
enacted by Congress that business would
revive pending the discussion Of the ques-
tion of reduction of the tax. The breaks
at the Tobacco Exchange for the week end
ing Saturday comprised 127 hogsheads, Ii
tion on 'Change were AZ packages, OF which
10 were taken in and % sold. The prices
during the week ranged from S1.sO TO
SI6.75.

DEATH OF AN UPRIGHT YOUTH On Satur-
day morning Mr.. Archer, of the Tredegar
Company, had occasion ito go into the race
which feeds the works, the water having
been drawn off, and to his surprise dis
covered in one corner of the race the body
OF a colored youth standing erect, but cold
and dead. He was not long In getting out
and sending messenger for the Coroner.
The body proved to be that OF boy named
James Williams, aged about fourteen years,
who had been seen at the Tredegar Works
on Thursday, and who, it is supposed, in
wandering around fell into the race, and
the immense force of the water rushing
along set him up in vertical position as
described. The Doctor concluded that it
was a case of accidental drowning, and
deemed it an unnecessary expense to hold
an inquest. The Body was buried at the
cost Of the city.
