True as Gospel.

The LangLorn, Pa, Beacon point
edly says: "Nere a man to go to a
bank and get little sccommoda-
tion-for instance, a couple of hun
dred dollars for thirty days-he
would have to pay a dollar or two
for it. Were he to object to paying
on the plea that it cost the bank
nothing TO lend him money, and
that the currency would probably
be idle any way if be didn't take it,
be would be set down as a fool,
without ceremony. Yet, similar
objections are made by sensible peo-
pie when a newspaper asks pay for
q little service rendered"

twenty-three years old, but had led
the life of desperate and murderer
from his very boyhood. The eve

his wife and sister, who were crying
in his cell, and told them to leave
as he did not want any crying
around him. he drank whisky and
smoked cigars to the last; adjusted
the moose with his own hands,
laughed at his coffin, and mocked a
man in the crowd. He confessed
to having killed four men, and com

Spelling Match.

DEAR SPECTAToR:-Our community
was entertained last Friday night a
week with a spelling match between the
Arbor Hill school and the Gravelly
Hill school, at the school house of the
latter, near Mt. Tabor Church.
The weather being highly favorable
quite large crowd assembled to wits
ness the contest. Arbor Hill numbered
nineteen spoilers and Gravelly Hills
thirteen. But the latter believing that
strength lieth not in nuESeSs" boldly
faced the enemy and after spirited
contest of nearly an hour, at the sound of
the word ''malInsey." Arbor Hills last
champion was laid low, and Gravelly
Hills, although at such disadvantage
in point of numbers, age, size &C., was
left in possession of the field. with four
unscarred heroes yet at their post. The
four who were not spelled down were
Miss Mary Bosserman, Miss Alice Are
hart, Miss Laura Arehart and Miss Lii
ma Hemp. The conabatsats we're eager
for another contest, but owing to the
lateness of the hour they could not be
INDUCED. 1t was, indeed, wonderful to
note the ease with which these adopts
glided along the May path of English

LYNCH-LAW.-We think that the
lynching case of a negro woman in
Rockingham county was one of the
most lawless and brutal outrages ever
perpetrated in Virginia or any other
civilized community in the world; and
if there ever could be case in which
lynch-law could be justified, 1t would
be in hanging those who perpetrated
the savage outrage upon tree without
judge or Jury. They made themselves
infinitely worse than the barn. burners,
and if the law don't take bold of them
with proper rigor it will be stain upon
the honor and legal justice of the State.
