The Fincastle ''Herald" in noticing the
visit there of well known citizen of
Staunton says:
Capt. VIM. A. McCue, of Staunton.
formerly of this place, is in town, the
guest OF VIM. A. Glasgow, Esq. Old
Father Time has made but little impress
sion upon him since the time when he held
the birch IN terrore,n over a crowd of
school boys here, who have passed from
the school room into the battle of life, and
been scattered to the four points of the
compass. With memory pregnant with
the incidents of the aud lang syne, we tip
our hat respectfully to our old tutor, and
bid him hearty welcome TO his old stamp
ing ground.
The Southern Churchman," the official
organ of the Diocese of Virginia, in no.
ticing the election Of Principal of the Vir-
glnia Female Institute says:
We have said before that there are few
teachers in whose charge we would prefer
having a daughter, than Mr.. Phillips; but
it has pleased God to retire him and so
Mrs. Stuart. widow OF the dlsting,. ished
cavalry officer, takes bis place. The trus-
tees knowing her well and as she has been
engaged in teaching for some years. with
out solicitation on her part, elected her.
we bespeak for her and the institute she
will govern the continued patronage of
those in and out OF Virginia. That Mrs.
Stuart will make it worthy the patronage
OF all who have daughters to educate we
doubt not, and so We commend her and
her work to the g;eat Head of the Church.
as It's Importance cannot be over-estimated.

FRIDAY MORNING. APRIL %. 1880

BLACKwoOD'S MAGAZINE for April is
received. No better insight into the po-
litical situation which existed in England
prior to the stunning defeat Beaconsield
and the Tories have received is to be found
than in the opening article on " Brummagem
Morality in this leading Tory Magazine.
All the writer's political prophecies as. to
the effect Of, Beacons6eld address to the
people were destroyed by the result of the
election, but the arguments of the maya
zine writer give clear view of theground
ON which the battle was fought and all the
ammunition of argument used by his side.
1.-THE Crisis Abroad and 1.-THE Appeal to
the Country are both highly interesting
and able articles from Tory point Of
view.
The other features of the magazine Pas
sages from the note book of staff officer
in the Afghan war; Bush Life in Queens
land, and the two serial storiesare very in
teresting. This magazine may be had
from the Leonard Scott Publishing Com
pany of New Y ork, at 81 per annum.
Harper's Magazine for May is received.
The article on 1.-THE Red River of the
North'' is generally interesting, but il
seems to us would be particularly SO tx
farmers. The descriptions. illustrated b,
fine engravings, of how the famous ''bo
nanza'' farms of the Red River Valley ar
run, the armies of men and horses engaged
in running them, and their immense yiel'
are well calculated to make quiet Viz
ginia farmer open his eyes.
There are si1ty-one finely engraved II
Illustrations in this number, a specially il
which the Harpers seem determined t.
keep ahead of both Europe and America
The articles on "Music and Musicians il
England" 1.-THE Shad and Alewife,
"Home Studies in Nature and the stor
of ''Salgama Condita" are all interesting
reading. Harper Bros, New York. Prlc

DR.. E. D. Gibson, prominent gentle
man living in the Stevensburg District,

ic principles for the sake of Malone Read

Richmond "Whig' and its followers would
have him. There are other prominent
gentlemen in the county. who have been
Readjusters but who now think like DR.. G
and who will soon be heard from on this
matter. Our columns are open to all.

$780, being three times as much as A his assess:
ment is 49, When member dies Mr.. A is assessed
81, Mr.. B 80, and Mr.: c So. We give below an
extract from our circulars:
''When an assessment is made and the amount re-
ceved is than is required to pay the loss the
surplus placed to the credit of death loss account
and 10 member is assessed again for death so
long as there remains sufficient amount to the
credit Of that account to pay loss.''
If "Policy Holder" had called at our office, he
could have received the same explanation without
