THE New METHODIST CHUROH.-Thc
Methodist Church, (south), improvement COM
mittee have adopted the plans of }. E. Tins
ley, for the re-modeling of their church edifice.
The drawings indicate two towers-one for
the bell, on the southern corner, and dwarf
tower. on the northern corner. There will be
a wall between these, which forms space for
entrance stairs from each tower, landing in
front of present centre window This window
will be taken out, and the opening enlarged to
9feet in width. 1t will be provided with four
fold doors, By removing the present stairs
the seating capacity Of the auditorium will be
increased to the present capacity including
the side galleries. This is considered sufficient,
and as these galleries have never been salts
factory in every respect, they are to be re-
moved, which will add greatly to the beauty of
the interior when the trescoeing, &c, has been
done.
The present organ gallery will be elevated
80 that the ceiling under 1t will he level The
old pews will be taken out and new circular
news substituted. The basement floor will
be lowered IS inches and the windows in.
creased in length to conform. Changes will
be made in the class rooms, also.
All the windows of the front and auditorium
will be glazed with ornamental statned glass,
and the windows of the auditorium pivoted
A new single roof will be put on the church
and the walls stained in oil and pencied.
The bell tower will be 97a feet from the pave.
ment to top of final, and the dwalf tower, 6S
feet.
The front work will be built of select
pressed brick, with some trimmings of buff.
The front frieze, finals, pinnaeles, cornices,
belts and other trimmings of towers and win
dows will be Of galvanized iron.
In making this improvement, the object was
to make the change as effective as possible,
and in consequence the design is made in the
modified Gothic, and will give to the church
the appearance of an almost entirely new one.
The drawings are now ready and can be
seen at the office Of J, E. Tinsley, No, q West
Frederick Street. Sealed proposals will be
received OF Hunter & Co.'s book store until 8
P. M, Saturday, Oct. IA.
Liberal contributions have already been
made, built is hoped that many who have not
vet given will do so at once. The object is a
worthy one.

The vlrglnian for the Campaig n.

The approaching campaign is one in which
the interests of the State are deeply involved.
The issues TO be decided must have a marked
influence on the future of Virginia. 1t be-
hoves every citizen to acquaint himself with
those issues and to decide in his own mind
which of the parties asking his suffrage is the
more entitled to his confidence and support.
A good liye newspaper will be found of no
little service in making up decision.
In order to afford all an opportunity of keep
ing themselves posted during the present
campaign, We have determined to put the sub
scr.ption price Of the VIRGTNI6N within the
reach of the poorest. From now until the
18th of November we will send the VIReINIAN

formances of this organization on former oc-

MANGANESE IN AUGUsTA.-ln a recent let
ter To Mai Holchkiss, Prof. Campbell of
Washington and Lee University, speaks very
highly OF the manganese mined at Crmora in
this county He states that 1.-The high grade OF
the manganese ores at present obtained from
the Crimora mines, near Waynesboro, Va, is
indicated by the following results OF analyses
made very recently in the laboratory of this
Institution. by way Of comparison, it would
he well TO bear in mind that 20 per centuln OF
the peroxide (binoxide) is the standard rich
ness for these ores in the English markets. 1t
will be seen that all these run considerably
above the standard and will have their market
value rated accordingly. No. L., an average
sample ilom cargo fora Liverpool firm, gave
81 20 per cent OF available peroxide OF manga
nese No 3, average sample OF u second cargo,
gave 1885 per cent available peroxide. Nos
3 and 4, the former fine ore from the washings.
the latter "crystalliZed', (abounding in drusy
cayites), gave respectively 81 "a and 50 SO per
cent OF the peroxide. These are rich ores"
The VEN tapped by these mines is thought
to extend for some distance along the line OF
the mountain, and doubtless there will be many
other disclosures of this rich metal.

Death of Can't. Sam'l Paul.

At his residence near Mt. Scion, on Satur-
day morning last, Capt Samuel Paul, Treas
urer of Augusta county, died of typhoid fever,
after an illness of ten days, aged 81 years
The loss of few men will be so severely felt
as that of Samuel Paul. The sorrow that
finds such frequent expression is genuine
sorrow. The official position he so long held
brought him in contact with majority OF the
people of the county yearly, and his gentleness
of manner, and nobility of character drew 10
him and retained that esteem and respect
which sterling worth rarely fails to command.
For years he had served the county in one OF
| its most important offices. The dulels OF his
trust were performed with such efficiency ana
integrity, and with such satisfaction to the
citizens, that no one thought OF opposing Nun,
and with each recurring election he received
the highest commentator that people can
give-a unanimous verdict OF approval. His
private life was as worthy of emulation AS his
discharge of public duties. Warm hearted
and generous just in his judgment yet charit-
able in all things, II gallant soldier in time OF
war, and model citizen in time OF peace, he
| was one of those characters that leave the
world better off for having lived. Ii sympathy
can assuage sorrow his bcreavcd widow and
child will not drink the bitter cup to its dregs.
The funeral took place from Messy Greek
church last Sunday, and was attended by an
immense concourse of friends. The sermon
was preached by the Rev. j. W. Rosebro', and
| the remains were committed to the grave with
masonic ceremonies. The following gentle
| men acted rs pall-bearers; Garrett t. Gooch
ESQ and Col w. l.. Bumgardner on the part OF
the masonic fraternity; Capt James Bum
gardner and w. A. Burnett Esq, on the part
of the county officers; Hugh Baxter and j.
H Todd, on the part Of the citizens.

 The press of Arizona are most earnestly asked so publish this address until the 10th day of June, 1882. Most respectfully presented by F. A. TRITLE, Governor.
