The stable OF Mr.. T. S. Hall, at Grand
Hill, was fired by negro boy, Jack Wells,
on Saturday morning, with quantity OF
hav and fodder: the loss estimated at $400.
Fortunately there were no horses in the
stable at the time. The boy acknowledged
the deed and has been sent to Jail. Mr..
Hall was within about mile Of home, on
his wav from his brothers, in Henrico.
when the fire occurred. His other build
incs were saved with difficulty by his
ncigbbOrS.
There has been number Of incendiary
fires lately in our county, and the jail is
rc,,inc pretty well filed with the parties
charged with the work. One man had his
house robbed Of $500 in money and burned
hr the robbcr. He Was found out by using
the money, and is now in jail, 1t is said,
with part OF the genteman's clothes on.
Dir. Anderson Wright, at Rock Mills, had
his dweIIing-house burned accidentally
about n week ago.
We have had very dry weather for some
time past until last Saturday night, when
we had good rain.
The late frost injured the early fruit. but
did not entirely destroy it. Our wheat Is
looking remarkably well.
Everything is dull amongst us. Farmers
seem to be discouraged and less active In
preparing for tobacco crop than formerly.

ANNOYING NIsTAKE.-A very annoying
mistake occurred in Suffolk on Saturday
night last in one Of the churches during
service, by which minister OF the Baptist
Church came near being conveyed to pri-
son, charged with being a burglar. Name
not given. He is Yankee; WINS on a visit
to Il friend; saw flowers, &c, at Mr..
Moore7s, and stopped to look at them too
hard, as northerner would be likely to do,
there being none at home so early. MI.
Moore, remembering last years burglars,
got out warrant, which was served, but
the host finally convinced the officer he had
got on the wrong track. SO says the Ports
mouth Times in a long article.

There were three negro men whipped at
Wrisht's mill last Saturday evening, by or
der OF Justice Dunn, for hog-stealing. The
manner in which it was done seems to be
unsatisfactory to hog-raiserS, as the whip
ping was done over their shirts, (which

rick Quarles, Robert Ragland, and Wat
Watson were the culprts. Messrs. +. L

Beecher preached in this city this morning
at IL O'Clock to an audience the largest ever
seen in this part of the country. He was
brought down from Atchison last night
upon special train furnished by the citl.
zens. Admission tickets were distributed
among the several churches, and only those
holding tickets were admitted. The Bap'
fist church. in which the services were held
was crowded to suffocation, and hundreds
holding tickets were unable to gain admls,
sion, the capacity Of the church (about
1900 not being sufficient to accommodate
them all. The sermon was quite lengthy
and astonishingly liberal in it's views.

HAMPDEN SIDNEY COLLEGE,,
hIorrh 90 1878

March 80, 1878.
Editors Dispatch: The literary societies
OF IIampden Sidney being secret, it has
been the custom annually TO have public
debate, which event took place tonight, and
was most perfect success. Besides the
debate, there are also declarations by repre-
sentatiyes from the freshman class and ora
tons from two members OF the junior
class. The proceedings tonight were pre-
sided over by Judge A. D. Dickinson, who
did the honors in his usual happy style.
First in the order OF exercises was de-
camation by Mr.. John Green, Of Virginia.
His subiect-"The Immortality of Exam
ple"-was done full Justice TO, and Mr..
Green won for himself at once reputation
as good declaimer.
Next on the programme was an Grafton
by Mr.. j. e. Stewart, OF Virginia. He set
forth his subiect-"T he Commonwealth -
in most eloquent manner. His speech
was logical and beautifully written, and
from the many floral gifts which hereceived
at its close, showed that IL was fully appre-
ciated by the fair sex, Of whom Il goodly
number were present. 80
Then followed the debate, and the ques-
ton, :. Ought England to interfere in the
Turco-Russian war;" was ably discussed
in the affirmative by Messrs. Little, Of Vir-
GINA, and BrockipgtOn, OF South Carolina.
The negative side OF the .questionwas ably
discussed by 5fessrs. G. 3. Woods, OF Ken
lucky, and Wallace, OF Virginia. The
speeches OF all these gentlemen were well
written. and showed they had kept up with
the question, which is now agitating the
minds Of the thinking men of the world.
Then came a speech from Mr.. S. b.
Dabney. His subject Let us Cher.
lsh Our Memories WAS clearly and
beautifully set forth. While the writer
would not like to speak higher Of the
one gentleman's efforts than OF another, yet
ne cannot forbear to speak In the most ex-
trayagant terms OF the defamation OF Mr..
X. b. Franklin, OF Kentucky. This gentle
man took as his subject g RUNS Manual"
This gentleman talent is indeed wonder
fui one, aud should he choose the stage as
his profession he would make bis mark, and
Booth would have u very formidable rival.
AT the end OF this gentieman's performance
he was the recipient OF bottle OF rum
and many floral tributes. Last but not least
