FRIDAY, May 7-P n.
Not for months has the stock market been in
condition when the average Spectator was so
much at fault what TO do 1t IL now. Unless all
indications fail. there has been complete reVoiu-
ticu in the positions of certain large operators
Those who until within fOrty-elght hours were
"bulls and the main support OF prices seem now
b be bears who are e1erting ell their influence
and power to break prices. while the large bears"
of aeyeuty-two hours ago seem not only to have
covered all Of their shorts" but also to have pur-
chased several hundred thousand shares for the
sloue account. As it stands at the clese Of bust
meas tonight, o very pretty but very determined
xht il likely to be developed within the next four
or five days. Momentarny the advantage
xOuld seem to b with tho present +" bulls" who
are flushed with the success OF having secured a
profit in closing their "ShOrt" accounts, while the
'bsars" of to-day have put out then short" con-
tracts ct prices lower than those st which their

fight ~ seems to be impending. real values for the

No MORE BANGS OR FRIZZES AT A
NORMAL ScHooL.-Y yesterday afternoon,
in the course of some remarks to the young
ladies of the graduating class ia the State
Normal School. Prof. Newell, the genial
superintendent, alluded jokingly to the
bangs and frizzes and puffs affected by al
most every girl in the school. When he
saw girl with her hair gotten up regard
less of time or labor he knew that she paid
more attention to her toilet than to her
studies, and he had yet to see good teach
er in banged hair. The girls looked at
one another, then they looked at the pro-
fessor to see if they could detect any sign
of Joking in his apparently stern face, and
finally they looked at Miss Richmond, a
teacher beloved by the whole class for her
amiability and talents and one who never
appeared in school in either bangs, frizzes
or puffs. The last look settled it. After
school hours they put their heads together
and decided to Danish bangs and all ap-
proaches thereto in the future. Accord
ingly, when they appeared in school this
morning, Prof Newell and the teachers
thought the institution was Overrun by
strange pupils. Every girl, and there was
about fifty of them, had her hair smooth
ed down in the style of one hundred years
ago. Puffs, f1izzes, or bangs we're nowhere
to be seen, and it was not until he recalled
his remarks Of yesterday that Prof. New
ell could account for the metamorphosis
that had taken place in the head-gear of
his pupils. They looked none the less at
tractive in the new, or rather old, style,
however, and as their parents and friends
appeared pleased. and complimented them
on the change made, it is probable that
fancy head-dresses will be at discount,
for some time at least. in the State Normal
School. -Baltinaore Neaos.

IA SIDE SHow."-The Richmon d
"Whig" in noticing the recent election OF
Secretary OF the State Agricultural SocisA
ty, says that Mr.. Burke, of Stauntoa.
twas certified by Mr.. Bowman, whoeve
he may be, to have been good secretary,
for the side show at Staunton. What
next 7" The Mr.. Bowman in question
is one of the two most prominent stock
breeders in the Valley of Virginia, has
been President OF the Augusta County
Agricultural Society and is now President
of the Augusta Wool Growers Associa-
ton, and Director of the State Agricul-
tural Society. His name is familiar at the
State and other Fairs as the annual win
ner of long list of premiums. The sside
show" mentioned IS the exclusive and sue
cessful result of many years of labor nv
the farmers of Augusta and by those ac-
quainted with the agricultural interests
of the State as evidenced in annual exoi-
billions, is regarded as one of the noae
successful held, and credit to the far
mers OF any section of the State So mpch
by way of information to our contemporary.
1t is hardly necessary to say of Mr.. Burke
that If he undertakes to perform the du-
ties of Secretary of the State Society. thew
will be done with vigor, Judgment and in
dustrY, and this is simple inference from
the ability he has shown in similar posi-
tions.
