MOUNT VERNON ASSOCIATION.

The annual meeting of the Regents of
Tuesday last. On Friday the annual visit
of tho Governors of the States to Mount
Vernon took place. Previous to the reas-
sembling of the council of the lady Regents
of she Association the Governors of Virginia
and West Virginia we're met al The entrance
of the mansion by the Vice Regents of their
respective States and conducted to the east
parlor, where formal reception was held.
Governor Holiday, of Virgins, escorsing
Mrs Charles B. Ball, and Governor Mat,
thews, of West Virginia, with Mrs Lewis
Washington, and board of visitors.
Gen. Fiizhugh Lee, of Virginia, made the
opening address, welcoming the Governors in
she name of the Vice>Regeuts. In the course
Of his remarks he alluded very happily to
tho fact that, though Virginians and West
Virginians disputed their division line, they
we're unanimous in their reverence to the
memory of Washington. He then intro
pressed his deep sense of tho honor shown
him by the invitation to meet the Associa-
ton, and in tho name of his State thanked
them. He said that at Mt. Vernon all Amer
loans met on common ground that no di>
v isioa of State line could affect the people of
the Two Virginias in their generation for the
last resting place of Washington that they
cherished the memory of his private life, and
as the leader of our armies and the founder
of our colonies that the history of the past
of our country was bright, and that he could
but hope for the future. Men were apt to
forget the one step between liberty and Ii
cense, and because of it the nation was on the
brink of imminent peril. In conclusion he
said the character of Washington was free
from demsgogism, that insidious foe to man>
kind, and that no government could be happy
without the exercise of the virtues Of Wash
ington.
Governor Matthews, of West Virginia, fol-
lowed in short address, in which he ex-
pressed his qualification at laying aside for
q day the duties of his position to come with
delegation from West Virginia. Whatever
the division of the State line may effect,
there will be none between Virginian and
Virgnian. The close of the war found West
Virginia in existence, and since then her in
habtants hsd endeavered to build up the
waste places, that she might become the
worthy daughter of the old Commonwealth.
Her inhabitants were from North and South,
and exhibited the thrift and energy of the
North with the grace and hospitality OF the
South. The preservation of the home and
tomb of Washington was of great portanoe,
and the nation was we'll pleased to leave it in
the hands Of ladies of the States The mem
DRY of the immortal Washington was to last
all time, and every nation reveres the quail
ities which distinguished the father of his
sOnntry

NEXT YEAR ANNETTE will be an UNDER
graduate, and the next a full graduate, and
then the June season is over forever. She
may have August or September, but never
again June. There is but one June, mark
you, in these young women's lives. If they
or theirs are well-to>do they fit through the
hot July season and settle down in the sober
October state of ma,rimony, and if they are
poor, they take breathing spell and then
become governesses or teachers, which is cold
December, and far oftener, dear hearts, it is
chilly, blustery March. But we will not look
at this, but, with Annett's mother, and out
of her eyes, and feel her joy in her eirl,
knowing how sad it is for the mind to look
forward to the day when bright Annette of
to-day will have passed away, and be re-
placed by one with grave mien and grey
hairs, and for whom there will be another
commencement sermon, at which there will
also be music and flowers, but where the
music will be of sadder strain and the
flowers will be immortelles, and the COM
mencemeDt will be that of another life, into
which she will, we trust, enter through an
archway, over which is written, 81 am the
Resurrection and the Life. Harry 1insley,
in the Stanton indicator.

Mr. Editor Your paper makes its week

look to the press for information concerning
the current signs of the times. Through
the press we are constantly receiving intel
ligence of vast amount of crime being daily
and hourly committed. For the suppression
of crime our people have been taxed to build
Court ouses, Jails and Penitentiaries.-
For the protection of society, the peace and
prosperity of communities, men have been
elected to represent their constituents in the
law.making and law. en- forcing bodies. These
men have, rs their legitimate duty, to COD

whom have been sent petitions signed by
nearly all the citizens of the vicinity, pray
