The Public School Teachers for the Next
Session.

The Public School Board met on Tues
day evening last, for the election of teach
ers for the ensuing session which begins
on Thursday, September 18th. The fol-
lowing were elected, those with a star
being new teachers: Prof G.. H. Hull
vey*, Principal Of the High School; Mrs. =
V. L. Thompson; Miss Linda H. Nc
Clure; Mr.. j. L. Hutchins*, Principal at,
the Institute Building; Miss Annie Mills,
Miss Sue S. Martin; Miss Kate Nelson;.
Miss Ellen Hartman; Miss Julia Atkinson;
Miss J. M. Brown; Miss Lucy A. Mitch
ell; Mrs. Orlando Smith; Miss Alice Will
son, Miss Agnes. Harman*; Mrs. Carrie.
Tipping, and Miss Annie Fallon.
Prof Hulvev is native of Augusta
county, man of family and about thirty
1--WE years of age. He is graduate of the
University Of Virginia. He went into
the Confederate army at the age of seven
teen years and lost an arm in the service
He is a gentleman of great experience in
his profession and is also teacher of
teachers. having been for several years
Principal of Normal schools in the Valley.
He has just closed an engagement as Prin--
cipal of the Summer Normal School which
held its sessions at the Bath Alum Springs
this summer.
Mr.. Hutchins. another new teacher, is a
native of North Carolina and a teacher of
much experience. He taught in this coun-
ty for some years and gave entire satisfac-
ton to DR.. Hamilton, who was then Coun-
ty Superintendent. Miss Agnes Hartman,
though young lady, has had much and
successful experience IN teaching, and
lately was engaged at the Churehville
schools in the county, where the standard
is very high. The last new name, that of
Mrs. Tipping, can hardly be said to be that
of new teacher as far as Staunton is con-
cerned, for the lady who bears it was for
merly one of the most successful and pop
ular teachers that the public schools of our
city ever had. Since her connection with
them, she has been the Principal of the
Lewsburg Female Seminary.
The Board judiciously made an increase
in the salaries of several of the teachers.

question: "What is to be the result of the

FIFTEEN WIVES.

Marvin, the bigamist, was before the
Police court in Richmond Monday, to
answer the charges of bigamy and larceny.
The court room was densely crowded. The
prisoner came into the room limping pain :
fully from what he said was an attack of
rheumatism When his case was called
he rose and asked thecourt if he was to
have any rights in this city? He was told
he would be given a fair trial. He then
replied he wanted this examination delay
ed for few hours. in order that he might
have time to consult counsel, and request
ed that a message be sent to Col. John B.
Young. This request was granted. At
ter consultation with the prisoner, COL
Young said he was not prepared yet to an
nouDce whether or not he could act as
counsel for the accused, as "Gen. Morton"
had not yet satisfied him as to terms. He,
however, suggested the ACCESSIBILITY of
continuing the case, which suggestion.
meeting with the approval of the Com
monwealth's Attorney, was carried out.
and the case continued until the 7th of
September.
Marvin was readily recognized as the
party who married Miss Turpin the 10th
of July. Rey. DR.. Minnegerode the pas
tor, who performed the service: Mr. A.
Brownell, the brother-ln-law of Miss Tur
pin; the hotel clerk, and others, readily
identified him. The prisoner was quite
dignifed in his demeanOr and had the air
of a much Injured man. He has to great
extent completely transformed his appear
ance, having shaved off his side whiskers
and mustache, pulled out all his front
teeth, bumped his back, stuffed his left leg
anG assumed SHUTTER in his speaking,
which he does to perfection. Since his
arrival the friends of Miss Louise W.
Turpin. have sworn out a warrant against
him, charging him with bigarny. The
other charge against Marvin is feloniously
stealing check for $613, and $3.50 in cash
from the First National Bank of RICH
mond.
The charge OF forgery will also be pre-
ferred against him. Evidence of other ex-
ploits of this notorious prisoner is coming
in rapidly. The Chief of Police, Monday.
received a letter from young lady in
Wilmington, N. c., stating that she had
been married and deserted by Marvin
some months ago.
1t is a remarkable coincidence that the
carriage and driver which Monday took
Marvin from the train to the prison cell is
the same which took him and Miss Tur-
pin, his supposed bride, to the train when
they started on their bridal tour: He has
been remanded to jail for safe keeping.
The latest accounts show that Marvin
has married fifteen wives, tie latest wit
ness offering to testify being from Will
mington, N. G.
