INCINERATIoN OF THE BODY OF A
SCHOOL GIRL.-The body of Miss Dolly
Hartman, a P1ttsburg school girl, was
burned in the LIE Moyne crematory, at
Washington Pa, Saturday last, in accord
ance with her request, made while she was
in good health. The father, mother and
three brothers of Miss Hartman accom-
panied the body to Washington. At half
past eleven, the body dressed in fine
white dress, was placed in the iron cradle
and the hair removed. The body lay in
clined to the side and appearing as though
in sleep. There was little collar of lilies
of the valley about the neck. After ser
vice by Rev. Mr.. Verterburg, consisting
of scattering ashes, &C., fine body was
wrapped in cloth which had been moisten-
ed with alum water. AT sixteen minutes
to twelve o'clock it was showed into the
retort. There was little odor perceptible.
The incarceration occupied two hours. The
family left for Pittsburg by the afternoon
train. The ashes will follow. The body
only weighed eighty pounds. The entire
cost of the cremation will not be over $35.
Mr.. Hartman was very much pleased with
the result thus far, and says his own body
Shall be similarly disposed of. Mr.. Hard
ing, son-iniaw of DR.. LIE Moyne, and one
OF the trustees of the cremaGory, says he
las over one hundred applications from
persons now living for the use of the Gre
matOry.

Something Augusta County Ought to Try.

BoTEToURT, Co.. Feb, I'd, 1880.
The fruit business in this county is be-
ginning to "boom." Our energetic and
enterprising county man. Rev. J. c. Moo
NAV, deserves the credit for starting this
''boom," in this branch of industry. He
commenced canning peaches several years
ago on rather small scale. He has been
charging his operations every year since.
Last year he put up 100, 900 cans of peaches,
$4,000 cans Of tomatoes, $4,000 cans OF
corn and $4,000 cans of whortle berries.
Mr.. MOomaw had about 100 hands employ
ed for several months. He hal most of
his cans manufactured at his factory.
Mr.. Moomaw says "He expects to enlarge
his operations every year until he arrives
at perfection in this business Mr.. Moo
maw's example has been followed by Mr..
T. G. Denton, of Daleville, who put up
factory last year and commenced opera
tions. Mr.. Ben. Nisinger told me he in
tended to put up one this year. wish
them much success and hope their exam
pie will be followed all over the old state.

How IT Looks TO A CONNECTICUr
DEMoCRAT This plan of the Virginia
Readjusters is almost equal in brillianc.
TO John Kellys Independent Democratic
programme in New York 1t is also quite
as disinterested as Kelly's movements are.
Malone proposes to sell out the Virginia
electors in such way as to advance his
political interest, and John Kelly proposes
that the Democratic party shall have no
interests except such as are Identical with
his. But day of retribution is coming
for these political Hessans. When the
presidential election Of 1880 is over, the
Democratic party, whether victorious or
defeated, will give some sample exhibition
of its kicking powers which will be any,
thing but interesting to the Kelly Malone
style of Democrats. The quicker the
mercenaries are kicked out of the Demo-
cratic ranks the better it will be for the
prospects of Democratic success .-Neso

COLORED JURY REFUsED.--At the
Court on Monday, MIR. Alden A. Bell
counsel for Andrew johnson, being tried
for felony, made motion for colored ju-
ry. Judge Bell denied the motion, and in
his remarks stated that the present law
gives him the power of discriminating in
the selection of his jurors. The law is a
good one, as good as can be made, and in
his Honor's view, made it imperative with
the Judge to discriminate against men
neither Intellectually nor morally quail
fed to serve. AS long as this law remains
on the statute books-and it ought never
to be tempered with-he should continue
to select the best men he could secure, At
every term he Disseminated against white
men not having the proper moral and in
rellectual qualifications. -Culpeper Times.

MARRIAGE OF JOHN E. POINDExTER
AND Miss ISABEL ester
day evening at 8 o'clock, at the house of
Mr., Avis, brother in-law of Miss Cottrell,
Mr.. John E. Poindexter was married to
Miss Isabel Cottrell, by the Rev. DIR. Arm
strong. rector of the Monumental church.
Mr.. Poindexter was carried out to Mr.. AL
vis's house by Sergeant Lee, in whose GUS
tody he is until he shall be turned over to
the authorities OF the penitentiary. There
were present few OF the lady friends of
Miss Cottrell, and few of Mr.. Poindex-
ter's friends, including bis brothers. Mr..
Childrey, Mr.. Lyon, Judge Minor and Mr..
Royal. 1t is understood that Sergeant
Lee will carry M. Poindexter to the peni-
Tertiary to-day or tomorrow to serve out
his sentence of two years.-Richnond
Commonwealth, Feb. 11th.
The Richmond Dispatch" of yesterday ;,
adds:
Judge Minor gave the bride away. She
was dressed in dark brown silk, trimmed
with velvet and fringe to match, and made
IN simple walking-sui style. Mr.. P0in-
dexter wore plain black suit.
Soon after the marriage ceremony, Mr..
Lee, with the bride and groom, proceeded
to the residence of Mr.. Tyler, on Governor
street. in this city, where Miss Cotrell had
been boarding. There they remained for
some three quarters of hour with the
brothers of Mr.. Poindexter and a number
of friends.
The parting was sad, but the bride bore
up with wonderful fOrtitude, and did not
show the greatness of her grief.
In her words of thanks, however, to
Mr.. Lee, hurriedly given as Poindexter
turned from her and passed through the
door, she could not withhold her feelings
entirely. She said.
81 cannot sufficiently express my graft
tude to you for your many klndnesses to
my poor boy. He is now about to pass
from your control. You can do no more
for him. But we will ever remember you
for the many kindnesses you have shown
him. s
Sergeant Lee and his prisoner reached
rhe jail about midnight.
Mr.. Lee has received no instructions
about the delivery of his prisoner to the
penitentiary. Indeed, as yet the papers
have not been SentdOwn from the Supreme
Court to the Hastings Court.
Mrs. Polndexter, accompanied by lit
tie girl. went to the jail about 10 O'Clock
yesterday morning and remained there
nearly all day. During the time she was
there several ladies and quite number OF
gentlemen called upon them.

Senator Riddlebetger Ids introduced his
bill for the ''Re-establishmeht of the Pub
Lie Credit'' which was adopted in the Re-
adjuster caucus. The competing PROPOSE
tions as our information goes were theibill
offered by Senator Fulkerson to fix the
debt at $l5. O0O,0 900 and the bill of Mr.. Tur-
ner. of Norfolk, to fix the amount at $12,-
100000 and pay per cent. ON that. This
last is said to be the favorite of Auditor
Massey. Mr.. Riddleberger' bill which
was advocated by Gen. Malone, fixes the
principal of the debt at $40, 965, 176 and on
this proposes to pay three per cent. in
terest. 1t funds the present consol bonds
at fifty three cents in the dollar, and the
peeler bonds at sixty SIX and two thirds
cents. OF course the coupons of the new
bonds are not receivable for taxes, and the
bill provides for an additional tax of two
cents to be levied in 1890 and thereafter, to
go to the sinking fund for the discharge
of the debt. 1t directs the tax receiving
officers not to receive anything but money
for taxes. except some loan certificates
which may be issued by the State. No
other debt save that recognized in this bill
is to be recognized by the State Auditor.
In the 18th section the bill attempts to cut
off legal remedy other than that to be OBJ
tanned in the county and corporation
courts where the tax payer is allowed to
sue the collecting officer, and expressly
declares that no injunction. mandamus,
supersedeas, or other writ from any other
court shall issue. This Notwithstanding
the provision of the constitution which
provides appellate jurisdiction for the
Court of Appeals.
We do not publish the full bill at pres
ent, as these are the main provisions and
the probability is that there will he amend
ments to it, probably important ones
coming from those Readjusters who favor
smaller sum as the principal of the debt.
When adopted by the legislature, if that
is done, the bill provides that its ratifca-
ton shall be submitted to vote of the
people on the day of the Presidential cleo
ton in November next.
