The Venue Changed.

1t is very common in deliberative
bodies where there are SO many long
winded speakers to make gassy speeches
to limit their addresses to ''fue minutes. "
The same rule was adopted in q court
at the Warren House where there was
but one hearer, with Messrs. Burroughs,
Smart, Wright, Colville and Davis as
special pleaders, each in his own be-
half, in suit whose decree is not yet
made public. On a plea that the
pleaders could not get justice as to
time, the venue was changed by the
judge and the court(ing) adjourned to
Woodbury. in an adjoining county.

Revised New Testament.

From supplement to Eue'ybOdy's Pa
per, Albany, N. Y:
"The best proof that the Bible is
not going out Of fashion is found in the
impotence of the public to see the Re-
yised New Testament, which is an
nounced for this month. No work has
ever been undertaken in which there
has been such interest felt as in this re-
vision. The leading secular papers and
magazines of this country have devo.
ted much space to its consideration. If
it accomplishes nothing more, the new
revision will cause some people to read
the New Testament carefully who have
never done so before. Simply as a
matter of information, If for no other
reason, every man who cares for bis
literary standing must become acquaip-
ted with the Revised New Testament.

COLLISION ON THE G. & o. RY.-On Thurs
day morning last terrible accident occurred
on the G. s. o. Railway, between White SUI
phur Springs and Caldwell Station. A freight
train met material train, both gong at full
speed, and the result was a collision when
completely wrecked both engines, killed two
men and wounded seven others.
1t is said the material train was running contra
ry to orders. The collision occurred in a cut on
strong curve, and consequently neither OF the
engineers was aware of the approach. of the
other until it was too late to prevent the trains
from coming together. The lomotives were
crushed to the tenders, and the cars piled four
deep on the track. The loss of life and injury
to persons were as follows:
Hunter Johnston, of Quinnimont, fireman
| on the freight, was caught beneath one of the
tenders and instantly killed, his body being
mangled in horrible manner James Miller, a
colored workman on the material train, was
scalded to death. Robert D. Noel, engineer of
the freight, was scalded badly about the face,
neck and hands, besides receiving other inju-
ries of serious character, and injuries of like
nature were sustained by Mr.. Pennington, en-
gineer of the material train.
John Cooper, of Washington, fireman on the
material train jumped from the engine, but
was struck by the flying missiles and had his
leg crushed. He sought shelter in the crevice
of a rocky bank, but it was not of sufficient
size to protect the lower part of his body.
E. C. King, brakeman on the freight had a
leg broken and sustained other injuries.
A colored man whose name is not mentioned
was so badly hurt that it was thought death
would result.

LENT-The solemn lental season is now
upon us-a period devoted from primitive
times in the christian church to special acts of
devotion and self denial. The primary design
of the season is to commemorate the various
incidents in the Passion of the Savior. His
forty days fast and humiliation, temptation,
betrayal, trial, crucifxion, and death as an
atonement for the sins of the world. The
Lenten fast is also designed, in the economy of
the ecclesiastical year, as porter and neces-
sary preparation for the great festival of Easter
or the day of Resurrection. In all branches Of
the ancient Church, both of the Eastern and
Western communions, this season is observed
with more or less strictness. In the Anglican
communion and in the Episcopal Church in
this country special services are provided, but
no precise rule is given as to the measure or
degree of fasting; the forty days of Lent are
simply included among the days ION which
the Church requires such measure of abstin-
ence as is more especially suited to extraordi-
nary acts and exercises of DEVOTION" except
ing that the first day of the season (Ash We'd
nesday) and Good Friday are designated as
especially fasts. to be observed with more than
ordinary strictness. Jealous Church people
are left to determine each one for himself as a
matter of conscience just what they ought to
do. With very many the season is marked by
abstaining from ordinary amusements and
social festivities, and by giving more attention
to meditation and self examination, and devot-
ing more time to acts OF devotion. In this city
the Episcopal church will have more frequent
services, and the instructions of the pulpit, as
well as the Scriptural lessons appointed, will
very fully set forth the import and solemnty
of the season. There are just forty-six days
from and including Ash Wednesday until
Easter Eve, but, as the Sundays in Lent (six
in number) are not fasting days, the season
strictly speaking includes but forty days, ter
minating with the eve of Easter Day The
Lutheran Church also observes Lent, and, OF
course, the Roman Catholic Church gives ii
great prominence.

LOCAL OPTIoN.-The citizens of Waynes-
boro, are moving actively in the direction of a
suppression ossliauor selling. Week before

by Capt. H. W. Henry, with DR.. J. W. Jones
as secretary. Addresses were made by J. r.
VanHorn, ]. W. Jones, and W. A. Donald
and at the close ola harmonious meeting the
following resolutions offered by Rev. Frank
McCutchen, were adopted:
Reso1Ued list, That we hold the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating liquors, except for me-
chanical and medical purposes, to be an evil,
hurtful alike to the church and society, and in
imical TO the best interests of the country at
large, and as such should not be tolerated by
tie church, or public sentiment or the legisla-
ton of the country
The above is not intended to apply to wine
made and sold for sacramental purposes
I'd, That we heartily approve of and rejoice
in the movement recently made and now max
ing in several States of the Union, and in the
United States Congress, looking to restraint
of the manufacture and sale Of intoxicating
liquors.
Sd, That we hold it to be the duty of every
citizen, and especially of Christian citizens to
endeavor, by the use of all peaceful and legiti-
mate means, to secure the early passage, by
our State legislature, of General Local On
ton" law-that is, a law allowing each incor-
porated, city or town, or county, or magisterial
| district, to determine, by vote, whether or not
intoxicating liquors shall be sold within it's
limits, save for the mechanical and medical
purposes.
4th. That we earnestly recommend to the
Order and the churches which we represent, a
careful regard in the exercise of the right of
suffrage, in conventions as well as elections,
that so far as possible representatives favora-
BILE to Local Option may be chosen to our next
State legislature.
9TH. That committee be appointed, whose
duty it shall be to secure, if possible, the CO.
operation of the pastors of the churches and of
officers of the temperance orders of Staunton,
and with them to issue a call, for county
convention, to be held at -, in the city of
Staunton on the - day of -, 1881, to take
such action as it may deem wise and proper to
restrain the manufacture and sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors. 1t shall also be the duty of this
committee to prepare petition to the next
legislature of Virginia tor General Local OPP
ton law, which petition, together with the
first four resolutions adopted by this body,
shall be submitted to the aforesaid convention,
if called, for its approval.
Under this resolution committee was ap-
pointed, consisting of the pastors of the
churches represented and one member from
the Friends of Temperance, viz: Revs. Frank
McCutchen, J. R. .VanHorn, W. A. White
scarver, Luther Fox, G. Beard, and Capt. VIM
A. Donald.
