John q. Boner, Of this county, was licens-
ed to practice Law at the late term OF the
Court. As compositors are not partial to
capitals, it is well to spare them the names
Of many Of our corners and goers.
MEDICAL CoSvESTIoS.-One practical
feature Of the Medical Convention now in
session at Danville, is the performing Of
urgieal operations upon the afflicted for
miles around. The MANNED, halt, deaf
and blind are brought in and healed, not
by word Of Divine command, but by the
cold steel Of the nineteenth century. One
very social feature Of the occasion is the
number Of elegant entertainments by the
hospitable citizens of Danville, invitations
to which are initiating every mail.
STOLE AwAY.-On Monday morning the
citizens who open their eyes daily upon
the public square were at once "sensated"
by the discovery that Mr.. Jas. McGrail.
popular young shoemaker Of the town,
had left for parts unknown. Silently, like
the Arab, he folded his tent, and lol the
sun arose not upon him in his wonted hab-
itation. Investigation revealed the fact
that his various liabilities greatly exceed
ed his assets, and immediate steps were Ia
ken to secure his effects to meet as far as
possible the claims Of creditors. Our
County Clerk received a letter on the same
day, which stated that the INDECENT circum-
stances Of his parents had induced the alb
seconded knight Of the last to tins take
French leave, but that the contents Of his |
shop would satisfy all demands against
him. Il is to he hoped that more favor
able light may be thrown upon the affair.
ExcURsIoS.-On Saturday morn at the
unwitching hour of $50, joined about
a hundred other sleepy excursionisis at the
Danville depot to take wing, to the Queen
City. Business, rather than pleasure Incl
ted the move, but a considerable degree Of
the latter Ingredient was mixed in with
the more practical. At Lexington, quite
anpmber Of gentlemen got OF, some pecu-
liarly mysterious attraction acting as a
magnet in that locality At 1910 the
city was reached. Fifteen Of US chartered
a Bus for 81 and had cheap ride to Shil-
lito'- Here where every wish Of the FEM
mime heart springs into instant grati6ca-
ton as by magic, an hour was spent, great
ly to the satisfaction Of Shilliio, and great
ly TO the chAgrin Of home merchants. But
then, we can not get at home many articles
that We purchase elsewhere. There ia a
great cutlery against these excursions by
hoEe trade. At the delightfully."- cool Ar
cade, we had an elegant lunch which con-
cluded with Strawberries and ice cream.
The Fountain, Music Hall and other curl
osities of the city were agreeably included
in the six hours allotted, and then, oh
shocking taste some Of us concluded 10
interview the walking woman, Mad. An
derson, at Highland House. Arrived at
the inclined plane we were whirled to the
top in trice by the wonderful mechanism
that controls the cars that climb the hill.
Ii was exactly the hour for seeing the Pc
destrienne. She walked miles in every
hour. night and day, had been on the
track three weeks, and was then in the
75Sth mile Of the required sO4 II was
too early for a crowd, aud the place was
quiet, except for the band Of music. The
woman is as coarse a specimen Of humani-
~ as should care 10 see. Tall, large,
with a bloated looking face. and
sallow complexion, she trod the walk
swiftly and evenly in her bloomer dress Of
tawdry, hashy style. Her trainer walked
with her at that particular time, and some
one nearly always accompanied her. Her
carriage WAS erect and easy. and her walk
was certainly very fine No laborlng Of
