''REQUIEsCAT IN PACE. 1.-The Execu-
tive Committee of the Staunton Hancock
& English club had full attendance at
their last meeting, yesterday evening. A
number of accounts were brought in and
paid and sufficient surplus left IN the
treasury to pay all outstanding liabilities.
All who have claims against the club are
asked to present them to the treasurer and
they will be paid at once.
The club worked hard, fought well and
died game, and even if she had won all she
fought for and had borne three banners
from the field as trophies instead of one, the
disbandng would have been sad, as indie
pendent of the political ties that had bound
the members, many pleasant SOCIAL hours
had been spent together: After the trans
action of what business was before it, the
committee adjourned sine die.

The New Basso.

Accompanying the young ladies OF the
Augusta Female Seminary to church every
Sunday is Bruno, dog of large size and
deep voice. He is a guard. Not being a
member of the church he sleeps during the
| services. His daily occupation is to catch
by the legs bob-tailed young men, who
look over the fence of the Seminary at the
girls. Last Sunday morning he took it
into his head that he had been kept in the
background in religious matters, and de-
termined to take hand. His voice is
deep and full. and he has practised with
it on the bobtails until he considers him.
self vocalist of the first-class. When the
last hymn came along he sailed in, "Bow-
wOwwOW!"
The choir took cold chill and the con-
gregation had cong estive fit of giggles,
especially the school girls. The soprano
wavered, the basso gave it up, and the Or
ganist reached out for another bass pedal
so as to get as much music against Bruno
as possible 1t wouldn't do. The new
basso stuck it out through the first verse
dogfully. During the intervals between
the verses he gave couple Of show
vows" to let the organist know that he
despised his efforts to drown him out, and
proceeded to join in the next verse. By
this time the gravity of the congregation
was gone, and the time had come to ex-
pell the sacriligious vocalist. This was
accomplished by copy of the acts of the
General Assembly South being fired at his
head by an official, and several vigorous
pokes in the ribs by the sexton with the
furnace poker. After he was tumbled
out, Bruno turned on the church steps
and gave his opinion OF the congregation
and the choir in a few pointed show
vows" He remarked, as he attempteG to
open the eye that the Acts Of the General
Assembly South had closed, that it was
the last time that congregation should ever
hear his voice, and as for the choir he
would see it further before he would try to
help it out again. just then he saw dea-
con, with the Acts in his hand, peeping
through the door. and dropping his tail
he trotted hastily off.

LUTHERAN CONFERENCE.-THE con-
ference. connected with the Virginia Sy.
nod Of the Evangelical Lutheran Church
held a meeting at Frieden's church, in
Rockingham, on the oath ult. It was or.
ganized with Rev. J. II. Barb, President
Rev. j. M. Hedrick, Secretary, and W. A
Houff, Treasurer. Addresses were de-
livered by Rev. J. 1. Miller, on "What is
| wOman's legitimate work in the church?'
| and by Rev. g. Beard, of Waynesboro, or
"What is the true idea of pastoral vista
tion." Of the last subject Rev. ]. I. Mil
Ter said it twas subject of great impor-
lance, and he had learned from the Scrip
lures that observation was the mightiest
lever, when properly used, for the accom-
plishment of good results;'' but that there
was no duty attended with so much per
! plexity as this-to know just how and
| when, so as not to make failure of the
attempt. Pastors should not spend al
their time in visiting, or they would have
no time for study, ''for," said he, ''youne
ministers particularly, are not expected tc
shake sermons out of their sleeves" The
Conference will hold its next meeting al
BridgeWater, commencing OH Tuesday be,
fore the second Sunday in May, 1881.

We learn that the Republicans of
this county are trying to wheedle Dem
ocrats into the support of at least a
part of their ticket, by asserting that
politics ought to have nothing to do
with local Offices" etc., etc. Did you
ever hear Of Radical talking In that
way in the good old times when they
used to beat the Democrats by whole
sale Acknowledgement? Not much !!
Then they said a "rebel" (Democrat)
had no right to vote, much less to run
for or hold office. Additional point is
given to the canvass by the fact that
the two most prominent Republican
candidates are ex-registering officers,
and used to disfranchise the people
whose votes they are now trying to
win.

A Republican ''Free-Trader',
Grating for Garfield.

Henry Ward Beecher made a Gar

the 18th INST, in which, referring to free
trade, he said:

speaker, too. believe that the philosophy of
the future is free !rade, and that all nations
to be just to themselves must adopt 1t as soon
IS they can. The time is coming when ma
tions will know no custom house when there
will be free trade among the human race all
over the earth. When you hear of me, there

must not be surprised and think that have

1t just now suits Garfield & Co. to pose
as protectionists. Beecher more frank,
but less polite, boldly proclaims him.

Garfield. In truth should he not? Is
not Garfield an honorary member Of
the Golden Free Trade Club of Lon

from the New York Herald Und.) of
October 18th, 1880:
The President of the Golden Free Trade
Club of London, England, in a recent speech
said: 1.-The trade is looking up. General Gar

"Modern scholarship is on the side of free
trade Garfield, April 1, 1879.
Garfield voted to reduce the tariff on iron,
wool and steel.
Beecher, an avowed free trader, is
therefore entirely consistent in support
ing Garfield. And yet the Republi-
cans are asking votes on the ground
that theirs IL the party of protection!
