INEASrcIDE.-we have heard, in add.
ton to what we published yesterday
morningin regard to the finding OF dead
infant in bundle OF rags near Valley
Grove, the following: Two tramps accom-.
panied by two women "sQuatted" on a
farm near the Grove, and were there for
some time. One OF these tramps, named
Smith, purchased some rags from neigh.
bors named Uller and hurry. When the
dead infant was discovered, Smith, after
inyenting other excuses, said at first that
twas In the bundle purchased from Uller,
and when this was found to be false,
charged the same thing upon the Murry
bundle, but this was also not true. and
when told by Squire Bushiield that he
(Bushfeld) would "hunt the whole affair
up, the whole party left for this city on
the cars the same evening. The remain.
der OF the story, which relates TO the dis.
position Of the body, that Is in reference
TO feeding 1t to the hogs, Is correct. Moth.
ing was seen OF the tramps alter their ar.
rival In this city. Smith Is the father Of
the child and the person who is accused
Of causing It's death.

Mrs. sHEIB's solREE.-Quite large
number OF Mrs. Sheib's friends and ad.
mirers were present in Germania Hall
last night upon the occasion of her second
''Soiree Musicale" AS 1t Is never kind TO
criticise young people we feel glad to say
conscienciously that the pupils all did
fairly well. Careful training was noticea-
bic in the smoothness Of their execution,
and their quiet even breathing. We
might take exception, II SO disposed, to the
want OF roundness and tullness in their
tones, as well as to lack Of animation in
their style. That these defects will be
remedied in time, no one who listened to
the artistic singing OF their instructress
need doubt.
"Gaily Trill Ny Joyous Law" by slo.
man, was rendered most delightfully."-:
Her execution especially OF the trills and
staccato passages, gave evidence Of most
thorough cultivation. Such singing ia
not often heard in our city.
The cordial appreciation Of the audience,
we hope, will encourage Mrs. Sheib to
continue her soirees in the future.
Weappend the programme:

UNoRTHoDox DoCTRINEs.-Att the re
cent meeting of the Virginia Conference
of the M. E. Church South, the Elizabeth
City "EconomisG' says, that when the
character of Rev. F. c. Woodward came
to be passed, his Presiding Elder, Rev. W..
H. Christian, said there was strong COM
plant among his congregation against
the doctrines he taught. Rev. Messrs.
Bennett. Blackwell and Cranberry were
appointed committee to report on the
case, but Mr.. Woodward himself asked
from the Conference an honorable dis
charge from the ministry. He is a gradu-
ate of Randolph Macon College, and the
Danville "Times" says:
We have taken some pains to find out
what were the doctrines which his breth-
rem objected to, and we are informed that
be held that the Almighty does not answer
prayer in temporal and physical things.
For instance, that we may pray for spirit
ual food. bnt not for rain, He held, more
over, that Sunday was day of rest and
recreation. The recreation, we suppose,
was the part to which they demurred.
Thirdly, he believed that Christ as a man
could have Sinned. II ne mad Oeen so dlS-
posed; but he had the power of will to pre-
vent it.
The Economist" says: We supposed that
Mr. Woodward gave great satisfaction to
the members of the church in this place,
where he has offieiated for the last two
years. We had heard nothing of his
preaching strange doctrine. We know
that his practical christianity was of the
highest type of evangelical work, and his
intelligence and attachments as Chris
tan minister were of the very highest
order.

How THE SUPREME COURT is OPEN
ED.-To begin with, there is degree of
dignity and stately bearing about the court
and its members which permeates even to
che most humble attache. There is a qui-
ct in the court room which recalls the Sab
bath of the Covenanters. When one en-
eers. the involuntary feelings come on that
the room is set aside only for contempla-
ton of the sober side of life. and woe to
lin who jibes or jokes in the presence of
the court. The court is opened about this
fashion. At II O'Clock (noon) the Justi-
ces come in from the consulting room and
take their seats on the bench. Away to
| the left of the chamber is Seen.a youthful
officer, whose business is to catch the first
| glimpse of the advancing Judges. Then
comes three rapS with a poEderOuS gavel
| by the Same officer. This is meant as a
signal for the audience to rise. Then,
with the Chief Justice in advance. the
Judges enter from the right Of the cham
Der. To the rear of the justices seats is
an aisle. In the center is all arched Ell
trance for the Chief Justice: Through
chs aisle the Judges file and take position
on the right and left. None enter until
the Chief Justice energies from the CEN
| ter entrance. After all have filed in, the
Chief Justice makes graceful obeisance
to the standing audience. Then the JUS
| tees take seats, a stroke OF the gavel is
made and the audience seats itself. The
opening of the court falls upon youthful
official. 1t is after the old English form.
"oh, yea; oh: yea etc, and concludes :;
Supreme Court" The court is now ready
for business. All the Justices are clad in
black silk gowns with an ecclesiastical cut.
In the dispatch of business the Chief JUS
tice is quite expeditions. He is always
ready with reply to a question, and emf
nently satisfactory. The Justices on the
bench assume different attitudes Justice
Miller sinks down low in his chair. and
but little can be seen of him but the top
of his head; so also does Justice Bradley.
The Chief Justice sits erect most of the
time when not hearing an argument, busy
in consulting the calendar. Judge Harlan
is the most striking in appearance of any
of the judges. He is tall, well built and
sits erect. - Washington Star.
