Death of Miss Virginia Panl.

A brief notice of the death of Miss Virginia
Paul. OF Rockingham county, was made in the
last VIRGINIAN. The event was one which invites
especial rem rk, for it was the close of a life,
which. brief as 1t was, bestowed many benefits
upon the people where h er lot was cast In Har.

ed over all the classes of her schools, whilst the
citizens who had an opportunity of knowing her
fine mental attachments, and her rigid devotion
to duty. speak of her in language of encomium
that would crafty those most ambitious of well
deserved praise. The sorrow that pervaded these
communities on the intelligence of her death
was commensurate with the love and admiration
excited by her tru heart and brilliant mind whilst
living, and the mourning draperies of her own
home reflected alike the gloom which hung about
the homes of all who knew her.
At so early an age, for she died when only in
her twentles, to have achieved 50 much in learn
ing and SO much In labour, speaks more cogently
than laudatory words or eloquent epitaph.
To the young, the life of Virginia Paul is an ex-
ample Tor @muiaf1on; i'll energy, in industry, in
achievement in learning, in the manner in which
that learning was dispensed. in the healthy. NOR

born and whence her spirit winged Its heaven

among whose grassy mounds she was wont when

story of human life, and death. Stranger and

AN ACCOMMODATING 'PossUM.-On last
Friday night, large, fat possum found his
way into the pantry of Mrs. E. W. Hartman.
He was discovered first by young lady of
the house, who got out of his way. Mrs.
Harman then closed the door on bis possum-
ship, and, procuring stick, dispatched
him without ceremony. IG is believed the
possum had used about the house for some
time, as hens nests had been broken up,
with only the shells Of the eggs remaining,
and no explanation of the depreciation could
be found until the possum turned up. The
possum was placed on the family table for
Sunday dinner, and enjoyed by all fond
of that kind of meat.
