SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO NATIVE OF THIS
CoUNTY.-On Thursday evening week, Mr..
VIM. H. Knighton, native of Middlebrook in
this county, acting as brakeman on freight
train, had his leg so crushed at Ronceverse,
Greenbrier county. w. Va, that it had to be
ampntated-the operation being performed by
the Division surgeon, DIR. r. P. Lake, assisted
by the Physicians OF Ronceverte. In attempt
ing to jump from freight car to the tender Of
the engine which had been uncoupled, he
missed the tender and fell, and the freight car
which was still in motion, ran over him. He
suffered greatly and prayed to die that he might
be relieved of his agony.

CALL UPON AN EDIToR-The last issue of the
Lewisburg Criterion contained well-written
communication assigning cogent reasons why
the voters of GreenbrIer county, W. Va, should
elect Mr. B. F. Harlow. Editor of the Greenbrier
Independent, to represent that county in the
Legislature. He possesses the requisite quail
fications, and, if he should consent to serve, we
have no doubt that he would be elected. 1t
would be a condensation for an editoc to ac-
cept such position, and nothing short of a
patriotic puspose should induce him to do SO.

LARGE MANUFACTURINGC ONCERN.-Messrs.
Prick & Co., of Waynesboro'. Pa, extensive
manufacturers Of portable steam engines apd
other machinery, are now employing nearly
200 hands, and are charging their shops, which
will enable them to add about fifty m )re to the
number of their employees. They are now
working extra hours and their orders are
largely in excess of their ability to fill tnelA
with their present force. They are the makers
of the celebrated Eclipse engine, for which
Messrs. Lynn & Eyler are the agents in this
place. The great demand for the products OF
this company is an indication Of approaching
prosperity, and we hope soon to see the manu-
featuring and commercial interests OF our
country generally enlivened and stimulated
to its fullest extent.

THE VIRGINIA FEMALE INSTITUTION
Monday night of last week, Mrs. Stuart, widow
of the distinguished Gen. ]. E. B. Stuart, was
elected Principal of this Institute to supply the
vacancy caused by the resignation of the Rev.
r. H. Phillips. Mrs. Stuart is learned and
accomplished lady. and is competent to fill the
responsible position to which she has been
elected, as is shown by her success.a as an in
structor for the last three years in the Staun-
ton Female Seminary. of Which Rev. J, I. Mil
Ter is the efficient Principal. Whilst we regret,
both on account of Mr.. Phillips personally and
the friends of the Institute, that ill health has
constrained him to resisp tie position which
he has for SO many years filled with eminent
ability, yet, since it is so, we cannot but con-
gratglate the friends of the Institute that his
mantle has fallen Upon Mrs. STUART. tits a fHr-
thersource of cQngratplation that Miss Anna
8. Fafran, the efficient Vice Principal for sew

been selected by Mr.. Phillips. We wish the
Institution the abundant success to which 1t is
eminently entitled.

EASTER BoNNETS-THE COMING COLoR.-The
coming color this season in millinery, as in all
else, is heliotrope. This term embraces all the
new reddish purple shades. from the rosy red,
which is that of the heliotrope blossom when
fully blown, to pale lilac and the delicate pink
ish purple which suggests raspberry cream.
Next to these come red and yellow-the Span
ish colors-which like Spanish lace, have been
brought into favor by the Spanish marriage;
SO that for once both blondes and hrunettes are
provided for. Dark beauties may revel in gold
and crimson, while fair compilations are ap-
propriately set Off by purple in all its shades.
Spanish lace is replacing the Breton in milli-
merry; and Spanish, also, are the large gold
headed pins the daggers and gilt balls which
form prominent feature of the new bonnets.
Oriental effects abound-soft Persian silks and
ribbons, Japanese designs. Yataghans and
scimeters, serpents. tissues, woven with gold
thread. indeed, everything quaint and rich and
odd seems gathered together to make our Eas-
ter bonnets as beautiful and costly as may be-
The shapes, also, are many. The tHrban holds
its own and the Gainsborough reappeafs. The
cabriolet, with small crown and sides tied
closely down, promises to be a favorite, and
new shape is called the Marie Christine, after
the young Queen of Spain.

SAYINGS AND MISUNDERSTANDING say
ings. especially in regard to the weather, have
obtained currency and credence, which have
no basis of philosophic reason and are wholly
unreliable, but have been accepted as true be-
cause they have been handed down from gen.
Grafton to generation, without being subjected
to the test Of observation from year to year.
Among these is the saying that "If March
comes in like lamb, it will go out like a lion !;
and if it comes in like lion it will so out like
q lamb"
1t will be remembered that March this year
came in like lamb, and that, instead of going
out like lion, it went out Ike lamb of the
gentlest Characteristic weather being clear,
calm, and warm, with the "etherial mildness
of spring." instead of being cold and stormy,
as it should have been to verify the commonly
accepted adage.
We have no doubt this saying is as often fall
sified as verified, but it is accepted as true, by
those who will not take the care to observe it
from year to year, simply because it has come
down from generation to generation. And SO
it is with many sayings and weather-signs
which have no basis of reason upon which to
rest-the grounding sign. for instance, and the
ember- day sign, and others. Put not your
faith in PRINCES or signs, unless they have
basis of reason.

For the SPECTATOR.
An Expose Of the A. A. C. Of GreenvilIe,

MEssRs. EDITORS Your correspondent does
not claim to be philanthropist, but a proper
regard for those who may be called upon to
pass through the same terrible ordeal that has
recently tried him forces him to write this.
A Society known as the A. A. C. was recently
organized at Greenville, and in company with
several friends, ATTENDED one of its meetings
for the purpose of being initiated. Upon ar
irving at the hall, we were shown into an ante
| room and told to bare our feet and uncover our
heads, as we were about to enter sacred pre-
cincts Having done this, we were quickly
ushered into a large room, around which
stood some of Augustus fairest daughters,
each with CULVER of delicate little arrows
gracefully thrown over her shoulders and o
diminutive cupid perched upon her head. The
scene was enchanting, and we thanked the
gods that brought us here. We approached a
great white throne covered with drapery. A
loud blast from trumpet was heard, the cur
tains around the throne vanished, a host of
Notwithstanding men enter and form circle
around the candidates for admission. The
beautiful damsels who had guarded, give back
and form an outer circle. The Great Mogul
enters and takes his seat upon the throne The
demons around begin to yell, some brandish-
ing battle-axes deliberately trimmed with the
SCdlpS VI uuiOILuudIe NlcLlnS, WQ1le OLnerS
held daggers dripping with blood over our
heads.
Another blast of the trumpet and everything
is quiet. The Great Mogul rises and tells us that
the object of this ancientand honorable order is
to SOW seeds of strife among womankind, and
to break the hearts and cover the spirits of
young men. He explained to us that they re-
lied chiefly upon the deceptive smiles of those
in the outer circle to accomplish this, and con-
cluded by asking if we were willing to go on
with the initiation. Our tongues Glove to the
roof our mouths; we trembled in every limb
and could not answer. Taking silence for con-
sent, the order Proceed" was given The
clubs fell upon our devoted heads, we were
felled to the floor, quickly and tightly bound
and in that condition were tortured until we
became unconscious. When we awoke to con-
seriousness, we were each sitting by a smiling
damsel who while she enchanted us with her
loneliness, would ever and anon pierce us with
an arrow drawn from the culver thrown over
her shoulders. All attempts to withdraw these
were futile. We were powerless to resist them
or to remove them. Suddenly we were called
upon to take another oath-that we would obey
the mandates of the Great Mogul-and then
hidden to depart.
No pen can picture the terrible agonies we
felt, and this is to warn all young men, that
they may not be entrapped as we were.
