teacher, through whose instrumentality
Sammy Crossett's leg was broken has been
closed, and from the evidence of the score of
witnesses examined, it would seem that 1t
was an entirely uncallcd for transaction, and
disgraceful affair all through. The most
brutal feature of the whole affair was the
utter lack of common humanity US displayed
by the teacher, who, when it wss we'll known
that the cnild's leg was broken, did not offer
to take him home or seem to care much about
the case any way.
In session Of the Potter committee
Gen. Butler made statement that certain
dispatches had come into his possession early
last spring. He found them upon his private
table, but had no knowledge how they came,
these dispatches, it was said, were part OF
those printed in the Tribune. If so he had
nothing to do with their publication. They
had been furnished to the Tribune before they
came into his hands. During the summer
they were missed for several weeks and sub
sequently they were found again, when he
had them numbered and stamped and put in
| place of safety. He was willing to place
theru at the service of the committee. In do
| ing so he contended they should be printed
and made public or placed within the power
of any member of the committee to make
public. At the same time he protested
against the whole system of Investigating the
dispatches, and insisted it would be wiser fol
both parties not to inquire into them. How
ever, upon proper receipts being given, the
committee could have the dispatches that
were in his possession. A short discussion
followed, when the committee adjourned.

Sol SMITH RUSSELL AND THE BERaERs
Not one word need we say in commenda-
ton of the entertainment to be given at the
Opera House tomorrow night. Almost
every man, woman and child, in Staunton
can bear witness to its excellence in times
gone by, and each of them who can will be
on hand tomorrow night to again enjoy it
There have been new features added TO the
programme since the combination was here.
and the entertainment, as chaste, elegant
and enjoyable performance, cannot now be
surpassed.
The Quincy, Ill.,, Wig thus speaks of the
company:
A very fine audience greeted the Berge,
family and Sol Smith Russell at the Opera
House last night, and enjoyed a rare enter.
tainment. The Bergers have lost very few
of their attractions Of a year ago, and such
as are missing are supplied with pleasing
performers, as was attested by the generous
applause which compelled complete repeti.
ton of the programme. AS to that genius.
Sol Smith Russell, il any one can merely see
him come upon the stage, and not smile
audibly, there is something lacking in his
risbilities. Russell's sketches were so full
of humo-, in manner. facial expression and
makeup, that it was absolutely impossible
to suppress a roar where perhaps he hopes
only for ripple of laughter. His persona
tions were so perfect that he got the audience
in good nature without saying a werd, and

pleasure had been derived from it.-Qulncy,

THE BIG FOUR minstrel troupe gave a
first rate entertainment in the Opera House,
last Thursday night and would have had a
large audience, had they not insisted upon
what was regarded as an extravagant price
OF admission. The parquet and dress circle
were both put up to 70 cents per seat, and
the result was that very large number de-
clined 10 attend. The fact is that travelling
companies should appreciate the increased
value OF money, and not go upon the idea
that prices should range as high as they did
two or three years ago. Fifty cents is quite
enough for dress circle seats in these times
to any entertainment, and managers would
put money in their pocket by bringing their
rates down to that standard.

A MOVEMENT AMONG FARMERS.
| information given us within the past few
days, we are lead to the conclusion that
there is general movement in the county
to establish Farmers Bank in Stanton,
| the capital stock to be 100000 and the rate
of interest for discounts G per cent. 1t is
proposed, as we have been informed, to is
sue the stock in 800, $50, $25, and $40
shares, so as to give all an opportunity to
contribute to the capital stock, and share in
the operation of the institution. The gem
tlemen who approached US on the subject say
that the farming inter SITS cannot afford to
pay over per cent. for loans, and the op-
portunity ought to be given to those whose
operations and business require them to &C.
| casionally borrow money, to get it at that
rate. There seems to be good deal OF ear
| nestncss about the matter, and when the
| Scotch-Irish and German blood OF our coun-
ty is aroused, and the heads Of our popula-
ton set to an object, they generally go
through with it. The fact that the United
States has funded large portion OF its debt
| into per cent securities and the creditors
of Virginia have proposed to accept like
rate on the public debt of the State, seems to
have impressed these gentlemen that G per
cent. is as much as ought to be charged for
money in the ordinary transac. Ions OF bus:-
| ness. Iii this feeling that is ct the bottom
of this movement, which has been freely dis
cuSsad in farming circles and il likely tn
mature in some tangible result.
