HIGHLAND ITEMs'-We get the follow
ing items from the Highland Recorder
of last Friday:
Settlement of q Church Irou6le.-A COLI
sion of preaching appointments at NC
Dowell, between the M. e.. Church South
and the Presbyterian Church, by which
religion was brought into disrepute and
cavaliers were afforded an opportunity to
scott and ridicule the efforts of profess
| sors of religion, to advance the cause OF
Christ" having taken place. a meeting
was held with DR.. III. H. Jones, jill. Shu-
mate and r. Turk, representing theM Meth
odist church, and elders Jas. Layne, Pat
rick Maloy and j. S. McNulty, represent
ing the Presbyterian church, and after a
harmonious session, during which mo
reflection was cast on the character OF
either minister" the difficulty, which had
arisen out of a misunderstanding about
the appointments, was settled.
Educational.-Prof. S. 9. Lindsay, takes
charge of the Augusta Graded and High
School, Churchville, Va, which commences
its fall and winter session September %.
We regre5 much to see Prof. L.. leave Us,
as his efficiency as a teacher is well known
and appreciated in u midst.
A long Walk on Crutches.-We saw a
man a day or two ago from Missouri, who
walked all the way from Staunton here
! with the aid of a crutch, having had one
half of his left foot cut off recently. He
was on the hunt of a brother, who he ex-
pected to find in Charlottesville, but who
it seems went to West Virginia a short
time G 0

Tom THUMB is rather fat, bearded, and
looks his age of forty years. according to a
correspondent of the Boston Herald -
who visited him a few days ago at his
home in Middleboro, Mass. His mother
and his married brother and sister live in
the neighborhood. He showed a tiny coat
that he wore over thirty years ago when
he first exhibited, and said: 81 used to
slip into this easy enough, but now, 1
don't believe an ordinary sized man could
more than squeeze two of his fingers into
that sleeve. Those were the days when I
was a little chap, and no mistake. [ used
to weigh only about twenty pounds, and
measured an even eighteen inches high;
but now" slapping his thigh, "I'm a
pretty old fellow Of seventy pounds, and I
guess In a little rising forty inches. 1
stopped growing tall-queer to speak about
my being tall, isn't it ?-when l was about
twenty-five years old. Since then I've
been maturing and getting Stout Tom
denle d Barnum'S story about a rivalry be.
tween him and Commodore Mutt for the
hand of Lavinia Warren. "Vina never
looked on him except as a boy" he said,
HE was SO much younger than She" AS
to the reports of Nuts marriage with
Minnie Warren, who recently died, he
said "People fell naturally into the idea
because they we're of the same age-he was
born in April and she in June, 1S49-and
travelled SO much together. Sometimes
hotel keepers would tell us that such and
such room had been set apart for Mr.. and
Mrs. Comm odore Mutt and they were
surprised to learn that there was no Mrs.
Mutt. Major Newell, to wnom she was
married in July of last year, is twenty
thee years old"

ATTRACTIONS AT THE WHITE SUI
PHUR SPRINGs.-On this Saturday morn
ing there was a full dress ''morning Ger
man" in the ball room with some fifteen
to twenty-five couples present for duty.
AS is usual, there was q full attendance of
the guests as "lookers-on in Vienna" and
the numbers present would indicate that
the guests here have more than doubled
during the past week.
The lovers of music at the White Sui
phur are greatly favored now by the pres
once of Miss Gertrude Tucker, daughter
OF the Hon J. Randolph Tucker, of Vir-
GINA, who delights them with her charm
ing voice and obliging willingness to re-
spond to the repeated opportunities of her
many friends. Her voice is a very charm
ing soprano, and her presence at the piano
at whatever hour of the day it may be, en-
sures to her always a delighted and appre-
clatlve audience.-Letter IN Richmond

Our village will soon have another i'm.
provement in the public school building
just let to contract. 1t is to be a frame
building, 24x60 feet, with an ell 22x25 feet.
with a bell tower 45 feet, and is to be built
in a neat style, arranged for the comfort
and convenience of the scholars.
Capt. J. S. Craver, archi .ect and builder,
of this place, has been awarded the con-
tract for all the work and will sub-lst the
stonework, plastering and painting The
Board of School Trustees could not have
made a better selection or given the work
to one who would have pressed it to COM
pletion more rapidly. He, you remember,
planned and built the United Brethren
church here last year, and received deser-
we'd credit for the taste and skill exhibited
in all the work entrusted to his care.
The school Board has secured the servi-
ces of Prof. Lindsay, Of Highland, as prin-
pal of the school for the coming session. lie
comes highly recommended in every quail
ification, and we hope he may be success
full in his efforts to build up a first class
school.
The "Lone Fountain a mineral spring
about four miles from here, has about
forty visitors and Others will go there this
week. Several new cottages have been
erected this summer and the grounds have
been improved. The water is becoming
widely known for its medicinal aualiiie and
many who would attend cannot SECURE
accommodations. We may send you a
more extended notice of this spring soon,
We have Just learned of the death of
Miss Peoria Wine. from near New Hope;
she died last evening at the spring men
toned above, where she had gone to re.
gain her health. This sad affection cast
the first gloom over this watering place
and the bereaved friends have the heart
felt sympathies of all around them. We

DEVILTRY IN A PREACHERS HOUSE,
An outrageous piece of deviltry was dis
covered Oh Tuesday IN the house of Rev.
W. J. Chichester, recently appointed pas.
tor of the Presbyterian church at Titus
vile, and now sojourning at Cape May.
The house had been entered, the trunks
and drawers had been emptied and the
contents scattered oven the floor; the fur
niture was saturated with kerosene oil
and besneared with salt, sugar and Jelly;
the bedding was ripped and cut open with
Knives, and the feathers spread broadcast;
ink was poured over the carpets, lounges
and chairs; the lamps were broken into
fragments; a card case and other metallic
ornaments, including a fine clock, were
twisted out of shape and hurled into the
cellar; valuable photographs and pictures
were torn to pieces and streWn about; the
sewing machine was mutilated, and a
family relic, in the shape Of a silver watch,
was taken to pieces, the works thrown on
a table and the case left on the floor. The
walls were defled by filthy and obscene in
scriptions. The house was full Of gas.
caused by the leaving of a stop-cock turn
ed on. The most extraordinary feature of
the outrage is it's pure deviltry, inasinuch
as nothing was removed or purloined from
the dwelling to Indicate a telonious attempt
to rob or steal.-Patts5Gy Leader.
