THE TROUBLES OF THEATRICAL LIFE.
When the Agnes Herndon troupe played
in Staunton it was understood that they
were in financial distress. and also that
when they left, after playing to poor houses
that honest little woman made an offer OF
some of her jewelry to settle some of the
bills against her. The troupe has finally
disbanded and of it's last performance we
see the following account:
The Agnes Herndon dramatic company
undertook tour of the South. and were
overtaken by financial disaster at Nash
vile. Their experience shows the prosaic
side of stage life. ''All depended on our
success in that city," says the disconso-
late star; 1--WE had good house at the
matinee. ordered the curtain to ring
up, and was told that Miss Berthold had
gone for walk and would not play. 1
had to hurriedly cut out her lines, and
when this task was finished I again order
ed the curtain rung up. l was then told
that one of the gentlemen was too inebri-
ated to appear, and was at the hotel. We
had sent for him. Another gentleman of
the company was also drunk, and fell
asleep on the stage. He had to be walked
up to speak his part. That night the gen.
tlemen of the company disgraced them
selves by guying the lines, Where one
should have said, My more than brother,
| only trust may by lifelong gratitude
the past repay he said, My more than
brother, [ only trust I may, by walking
back to New York, the past repay, and a
great deal more such nonsense, which set
the house 10 roar" The manager de-
serted the company at this point, and the
actor's expectation of walking back to
New York might have been realized, if
some philanthropic residents of Nashville
had not paid the fares.

Commencement Of Hooyer's School.

In the four years that have passed since
the autumn of 1877 when it was first or
gained, no institution of learning in this
State has advanced with more rapid strides
than Hoover's High School, the annual
commencement of which took place Friday
night at the hall of the Institution. The
interest in it has been increased. so high
is its grade and so perfect it's equipment.
to that which is felt by our people i'll a
college. In its earlier days its date of its
final exercises had to be advertised; now
it is enquired for long before it has been
determined upon. Friday night more
than a thousand persons walked the
streets of the East end on their way to the
final exercises of the school. The contest
for the declaimer's medal was of course
most talked of. The contestants were G..
W. Fitzgerald, Tom Burke, F. B. Yates,
r. E. Kinney, Arthur Morton and Frank
Sturges and the committee to decide were
Mai. T. C. Elder and DR.. J. D. Pendleton
of Staunton; Jos. VanMeter, of W. Va.
J. D. X. Sleight. of Richmond, and Geo.
P. Haw, of Va. The medal was awarded
to G.. W. Fitzgerald, one of the best young

Death on the Track.

Spott Wood, colore !, raised perhaps near
Mediums River, had been for some time
in the employ of Messrs. Newcomb &
Goodloe, at Sewell, on the G. & o. road.
On Tuesday morning (the 31st ult..) his
remains were found on the railroad be-
tween Waynesboro and Vim. Bush's. 1t
is supposed that the Richmond bound ex-
press ran over him. One leg was severed
in two pieces and the body was dragged
some distance. He was in Mr.. Wright s
store late the evening before and some one
saw him with about $25. 1t is said about
dollar in silver in pieces was picked up
near where he had been lying when struck
by the train. He~was somewhat intoxiea-
ted when at Mr.. Wright's store, but the
fact that the 1926 has not been found, gives
rise to the impression that he may have
been foully dealt with and his body put on
the track to allay suspicion. His family
lives at a. place called Dogtown, near
Waynesboro.

months past, there being very few common cattle
among them. Most sales ranged from Sc 25a0 1925
the extreme figures being $3.50@$6SO per Il lbs
with few sales at either extreme,
Prices to-day ranged as follows.
Best beeves at $6.12@$6.S0; that generally rated
first $5.25@$6 II; medium or good fair quality $3.50

the sales were from 49, to 1852 per 100 lbs
6WINE-There Is fair supply Of hogs on the mar
ket this week, though several numbered less than
last week, but the number is fully equal to the de
mand, which is reported generally as moderate, and
in one of the yards as good. The quotations are
the same as last week, a@S cents, with most sales
at S4@Sl1 cents per lb net; stillers 7a4@lS cents
SHEEP AND LAMBs.-There is falling Off in the
numbers as well as in the quality of the offerings
this week, as compared with last week. The home
demand is not as active as it was then. The ship
ping demand from the east absoFbs fully half the
receipts, and but for it trade would be exceedingly
dull. We quote Sheep at 311@5A cents. and lambs
at 5@754 cents per IL gross.
