session. I notice among the gentlemen Of
the legal profession Colonel John II. Guy,
Of Richmond; Jackson Guy and Judge A.
Il. Leake, Of Goochland. The Court has
been occupied the greater part OF this
week with the TRIAL OF suit brought
by MI. Denis Winston against Mr..
William 81. Amber for salary as
submitted to the jury last night, and after
no verdict returned, court was adjourned
till this morning at 10 o'clock, when the
Jury returned q verdict for the defends
The testimony in the case was very con-
fiicting, and the contract between Messrs.
Winston and Amber was not written
but verbal one, and it was presented in
two entirely different lights by the. two gem
tlemen. . Both gentlemen are men Of fine
character and standing. Court will proba-

be entirely sufficient to elect him.

Rev.'J. S. Hunter, pastor OF the Metho-
dist circuit, has been very successful in his
meetings throughout the circuit this fall.
Wherever he has held meetings numbers
have been added to the church. and in con-:

which is already quite large.; The Baptist
church has the pastoral services OF Rev.
Charles H.iRy|and, sof Richmond, and the
Disciples church OF Rev. u. A: Cutler, whose
servieest they have had for about twelve years.,
