The Hog Ordira nee Repealed.

In the City Council Tuesday night the
official opinion of the City Attorney on the
legality Of the ordinance prohibiting the
keeping of hogs within the city limits was
read. The Attorney says: II do not
think the ordinance in question is autho-
rized by the charter of our city or by any
other act Of the State legislature, conse
quently am of the opinion it is invalid"
With reference to the measure as health
law he says: II cannot find in the prnvis-
ions Of the charter relating to the public
health, any one authorizing the entire ex-
clusion of hogs irrespective of the locality
and manner in which they are kept"
Mr.. Todd then offered resolution re-
pealing the ordinance.
Mr.. Gooch said as we had the official
opinion Of the Attorney that ended the
matter, but it was the bitterest pill
he had yet had to swallow. He
wished those gentlemen who had been
active IN opposing the ordinance, joy of
their sweet scented geranium.
The ordinance was then repealed and a
few minutes. after vicious anti-hog man
showed the following resolution around
among the me, bers:
Resolved That on and after the first day
of March, 1879, each bousekeeper within
tho corporate limits Of Staunton be requir-
ed to keep two hogs; each member Of the
council be required to keep five hogs, and
the Attorney for the City, be required to
keep ten hogs.
This extraordinary resolution was not
pressed to vote. The Repealers who
were looking on at the Council proceed.
ings enjoyed the result highly, and Mr.
Kayser looked as happy as in the old days
when he headed the street committee.

Free Markets.

The council on Tuesday night repealed
the clause of the market ordinance which
prohibits the sale of fresh meats at other
places than the market; in other words
making free markets wherever the propri-
etor Of licensed store chooses to sell meat
under the regulations guarding against the
lie of unsound meat.
Mr.. Evans who reported the repeating
amendment said it was needed to break up
the meat blockade and give the people an
opportunity 10 derive some benefit from
competition.
Mr.. Ranson-Is the effect of your
amendment to allow fresh meats to be sold
in small quantities anywhere in the city?
Mr.. Evans-It is.
The repeal was then adopted unanimous
ly, and subsequently, the council adopted
another amendment offered by Mr.. Bum
gardner to allow butchers to give up their
st. lis in the market. if they desire when
the new ordinance goes into effect March

Tnterfer1ng With Wood-(Jutters.


Mr.. J. T. Hamilton, near the city,
engaged James Slick, Sam Martin and
Seymour jackson, three colored men, to
cut wood for him at IS cents cord. At
this rate a man can make ST. O5 a day with
ease. Martin and Jackson were notified
by band of colored wood-cutters not to
20 to work at less than 40 cents, and stayed
away, and Slick, on his way to commence
work, received the same notification from
them. All these stopped in consequence
Of the notification. Mr.. Hamilton, on be-
ing informed of this combination, came to
town and got warrant for the gang who
had stopped his workmen, and on Tues
day the following colored wood-cutters
were arrested by Special Constables W.
ID. Runnels and M. Hounihan and brought
before MagistrateJ M. Lickliter-Abram

dozed workmen clearly showed an unlaw-
full combination among the prisoners, and
after hearing arguments by Mr.. 81. st. G.
Tucker in their behalf, and by Capt. Jas.
Bumgardner, Jr., for the Commonwealth,
the Magistrate required all of them to
give bail in $50 to keep the peace. From
this decision Mr.. Tucker appealed to the
County Court and the prisoners were re-
cognized in $25 security to appear there,
Geo. and Abe Simms and Wm Taliaferro
becoming surety for the party.

Overture to the Ground Hog.

Our church Sunday, gave fitting re.
ception to ground hog day. Out of one
hundred and eighteen members in good
standing present, one hundred and twenty
eight had cold. A good many who are
not in good standing remained at home
It is TO be hoped they had the pneumonia
OF the hundred and eighteen present, one
hundred were performers on the pocket
handkerchief. A gentleman under the
choir gallery blew his bugle with such in.
tensity just before the service that several
of the congregation got up to leave. With
great effort the chofus was subdued dur
ing the first prayer, but at its close broke
out with such a roar of bass coughs that
the minister wavered. During the
reading of the first lesson it was hand
somely punctuated. with coughs which
ranged through the whole scale and finally
the whole thing was swept away by some
one clearing throat that must have been
three yards long. And about this time
the man under the gallery performed a
duet on two handkerchiefs accompanied
by the whole congregation in G. Minor.
We find the following memorandum in our
note book of facts that may aid students:
l. When man coughs he commences at
the bass and comes up; woman COM
mences at the treble and goes down.
2. While man can make the most noise
and disturb the most people. woman
can cough at the wrong time oftener and
make the most people mad.
8. While man comes cut of his cough
with wet eyes and red nose and looking like
he had had a real ard time, a woman who
has worried people twice as much can come
out of church as fresh as lark and twit-
tering like bird.

Official Report Oh the State Institutions.

%AASS*S~~<~-"
The subcommittee of the legislature on
prisons and asylums which recently visited
the institutions at Stanton has reported
| through Mr.. Geo. H. Jordan, its Chairman,
Abiding to the Western Lunatic Asylum,
of which DIR. Robert F. Baldwin is Super
intendent, it says, sit was never SO well
fitted to fulfil the humane design of it's
existence as now" and adds:
| 1t may not be known to every one, as it
ought to be, that there is no difference
whatever of treatment known in this aSy-
| lum between the rich and the poor. The
| poorest man CT woman in the State, If be-
reft Of his or her reason, is here as tender
ly cared and provided for as the richest.
The Institution, with its large number
of lunatics, Is, of course, full of sad and
sorrowful phases Of human character.
Within it's walls are to be found an ullfor-
tunate old grey-headed man who is deaf
dumb and blind, and deranged; and in one
of its wards, sweet-faced little girl Of
eight or nine years, whose tender mind
has been rudely wrecked by harsh and
cruel treatment at home.
The officers of this asylum are all known
to be gentlemen of high character for in
telligence. humanity, and eminent fitness
for the delicate and responsible positions in
which they are placed. 1t can be said
without reproach to the former excellent
management of the institution, than it
never was in better hands than it is at
present.
Referring to the Deaf, Dumb and Blind
Institution of which Capt. G. D. Mccoy
is Principal. it says the visit of the COM
mittee was extremely agreeable and Salts
factory, and adds:
The instructors are all obviously, admir-
ably qualified for the discharge of their
onerous duties, and the pupils exhibited
an aptitude in acquiring valuable knowi-'
edge not always seen even in schools where
the sight and the hearing and the power
of speech have been unfettered by the hand
of God. The pupils are taught, with other
things, vocal and instrumental music. for
which many Of them exhibit a fondness
and peculiar aptitude. An inspection of
the workshops Of this Institution disclosed
the pleasing fact that the deaf and dumb,
and even the blind, may be taught useful
trades, and be thus fitted for thrift and
comparative independence in life.
Referring to the Chesapeake & Ohio R.
r., of which Gen. W. G. Wickham is Pres
ident, the report gratefully notices the use
of sleeping car rendered the committee
sin this pleasant discharge of duty to
those state charities and thus closes:
Nothing was omitted to make the duty
of inspection pleasant to your committee;
and they most cheerfully commend them
again to the kind and patronizing regards
of the peoples representatives at Rich
mOnd,
