CoALING UP.

Yesterday the steamboat Josie, of the
Diamond 10 line, took coal from fiat car
standing on the third track from the river,
in the c., B. s. @. yard. Under ordinary
circumstances the track is about 100 feet
from the river bank, but with the present
stage of water and the overflow incident
thereto, no difficulty was experienced in
forcing the steamboat up to the track. The
gang plank was placed on the car and the
coal taken from the car to the boat.

President Hayes has rewarded the

precision that his own party are
rather amazed and disgusted. The
President has not been rash or ex-

more than keep himself balanced on
all sides. His name has never been

But he was the most active wire

the President has engaged to do a lot
of rather questionable spite work for

A proposition TO increase the State
School tax to 20 cents on the 500
valuation is again before the Legis-
lature in the form Of a resolution Of
inquiry. This is a nice little project
for about one half the counties Of the
State, that pay into the General
School Fund less money than they
ge, back. In 1875, we believe it was,
a bill Of this kind passed the House,
but was defeated in the Senate, and
will be again until the people de.
mand that the number Of school
months shall be increased. If sim
liar bill should be introduced this
session we hope it may be started in
the Senate, as much valuable time
would be saved TO the House that
would be otherwise lost in a fruitless
discussion. So long as the school
work shows such gratifying progress
we fear an attempt to lessen the bur
den Of the smaller counties might
detract in a corresponding ratio from
the interest they have heretofore
takenin their public schools. When

the General School Fund has increas.

A Virginia Sensations.

BRlsroL, Va, Jan. 23.-Mr. Jas. NJ.
Quillien arrived here to-day from
Nickelsville, and makes statement,
co.robcrated by the Mayor and other
prominent citizens Of that place, in
which he afiirms that yesterday,
about midday, a strange cloud was
seen lowering over n halfacre field
on the farm Of DR.. Abram Saylor, in
the lower end Of Russell county.
A few minutes after red shower
began to fall and covered the ground
and the clothes Of those who stood
beneath with red substance, which
could not be told from blood. Mr..
Quillien's shirt front and hat were
covered with what appeared to be
blood stains. The shower lasted
abou! 4 mintue, and the mass came
down In 4 slow and fine drizzel
The cloud then rolled off gradually
The singular part Of the occurrence
is, that, save in this ore place, the
sky was clear. The phenomenon
caused intense excitement among
the colored and ignorant white peo'
pie, many affirming the approach Of
the end Of the world.
